THE. !, ETHICS OF CHRIST.
Why the Savior Did Not Lay Down a Code
of Morals. ~ f-

= iTItSSsJGS.,ts ---lL+- Oh ~ II. -
Rev. J. G. Merrill. d. D., of Portland
occupied the pulpit at the Old South
Churels Boston, Sunday. Eat the morn
ing service he chose as his subject the
Ethics of Christ" He said that Jesus
taught His disciples to believe, to love
and to follow. The three verbs repre-
sented the triple bond which united the
human soul to the divine. 1t is thus the
primary duty of the believer to be loyal
to Christ. Jesus did not enunciate any
definite code of morality, but he laid
down general principles for the Chris
tian to follow. His plan was involved in
the saying, "Take my yoke upon you
and learn of Me-" The yoke has to be
taken first, and through the bearing of it
the knowledge will come.
Again Christ said, s'He that followeth
Me shall not walk in darkness" which
introduced the same idea. The thought
is. more clearly apparent still in the
words of the Apostle John, s'If any man
willeth to do His will, he shall know Of
the teaching" There are many people,
DR.. Merrill said who wish to go to the
gospels to find out the right and wrong
of actions in daily life; they want to
know whether it is right for them to be-
come total abstainers, whether it is
wrong to dance, whether they ought to
ride in the cars on Sunday, and they
seem to think that Christ ought to have
left something on record by which these
points can be definitely decided.
That, however, was not Christ's way.
He wished His disciples to believe, to
love and to follow Him, and if they did
so the right principles would spring up
in their hearts which would throw light
upon all the perplexities of daily duties.
By following Christ the disciple would
gain new impulse in his soul, which
would continually lead him Alright if he
faithfully followed it. Christ was him
self the centre and keynote of the lofti-
est ethics possible or known to man.
