REV. DR.. CRoMER'S SERMON.
Delivered n Christmas Discourse Mt
the First English Luth-
eran Church.

Rev. DR.. ]. NJ. Cromer, pastor of the
First Lutheran church. preached yesterday
morning from the text: Matt. ii:1-G, There
came wise men from the East to Jerasa-
lem. saying, Where is he that is born king
of the Jews, for we have seen his star
in the East and are come to worship him" ("
He said in part:
without disparaging any of the scenes
or incidents connected with Christ's birth,
we think the visit of the wise men OF pc
culiar Importance.
THE wise men stand for human nature
in its completest sense. They were men
prominent because of their wisdom and in
them all pagan philosophy is represented.
Their visit was testimony pure and SIM
pie of human nature without the special
tutelage of Judaism.
'aThe seed of the new life was the truth
This truth was the supernatural method
for awakening the true sense of higher or
spiritual knowledge in man. Man had in
tellect but not the truth. He had spirit.
but not the truth. Without truth mind
and spirit were like fish without sea,
birds without air, walking animals with
out the solid ground. The revelation of
God in His Son provided this essential OF
the soul.
Now because man has these instincts is
not even a suggestion that he can evolve
or create his own God. Hence man has
always been hopeful; for with the faculty
there has always come the common sense
view that there must be some appropriate
use for it.
christianity cannot, therefore, be ex-

that the Biblical descriptions were doubt
less figurative and were employed TO con-
vey to our mind the horror of the lost es-
tate. THE terms are no more to be taken
literally than the terms describing heaven.
If asked. what has become of help
would say, the old literal hell of fire is
where it always has benin the fiery
Imagination OF some literal interpreter of
ffgurative language. If am asked
where is hell? I could answer, anywhere
where God is not To be ban
ished from God is to be cast into hell. If
asked how long shall hell endure? My own
answer can be based upon what God Him
self has revealed. If it is TO terminate
after a season, the Bible says so. If it is
not, the Bible says so. l am not wise
above what is written. If future punish
ment is to be limited, We may rest assured
1t will be in harmony with Gods govern
ment and the culprit'S nature. If there is
to be a second or third or hundredth pro-
baton after death, 1 am sure God is glad
der of it than you or 1 can possibly be,
for the Bible says that God wills that not
any should perish.
of some things We are sure. We are
sure that the Bible says the sinner shall
be punished. Another thing is sure; the
Bible does not teach that there is a limit
to the condition into which the sinner en-
ters at death. Another thing is sure.
Christ made an atonement for our sins
and if we accept Him as our Redeemer
We need have no fears of hell. Hell was
not made for man. the Bible teaches. Ev-
cry man who goes there does so because
he wills it. He enters hell a perverse in
truder. Christ has thrown His PROSTATE
form across the pathway that leads to
hell, and if you shall at last make your
way to that dark abyss, you will have
stained every step of your way with the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ-you must

nineteenth century Christianity will have

BY union the great pyramids of Egypt,

Through the great Lybian desert flows the

of Christianity. When it's placid waters
roll through the centuries humanity has
been blessed, but where its waters come
not all is desert waste of sin and igno-

/ left Lawrence June last for Alaska,
where hoped to find the white sheep. I
went from Seattle to Sitka, and thence TO
Juneau. where had the pleasure of meet
ing the most remarkable woman in Alaska,
Princess Tom, the Hetty Green of the
North. who welcomed me to her home and
showed me her manifold treasures, as well
as her latest husband.
was introduced to Princess Tom by Miss
Florence Campbell, teacher and mission
ary at Junesu. who was graduated at the
Haskell institute for Indians at Lawrence.
Princess Tom speaks only commercial En-
glish, and only enough of that to enable
her to drive trade, at which she is very
expert. Therefore had to enlist the serv-
ices of Miss Campbell TO interpret my ex-
pressions OF regard.
Princess Tom is short and squat and
about co years old. She is keen in her judg-
ment of men, and took quite fancy to me,
although she could not understand why I
had journeyed so far for a few paltry
sheepskins, while I might have taken back
the much more valuable peltry of
sea offers and blue foxes. When
Miss Campbell explained TO her
that I was impelled moro by scientific
interest and love of hunting that the love
of dollars, she marveled still more, be-
cause the white men she had met were
hunters of dollars.
See, buy a man." said Princess Tom

set with a turquoise. and placed it on my
finger as a token of good will. Then she
allowed me to photograph her. She desired
me TO photograph her fat young husband
also. but he ran of like bashful boy and
hid himself in the town. Her house. a very
comfortable frame structure, modernly
built, is fun of every description of Indian

| planned as a system of mere natural deyeIop-
ment, however adapted to man and nature.
| What We want to emphasize is, and what
We understand the visit of these wise men
typifies Is. that man cannot, could not, evoIve
this system of Christianity out of his own
| instructive and conscious longings, but that
Christ, His truth. His church, are the plain
revelation of God-from above.
Therefore. We will not find fault either
with man or Christianity If all cannot walk
with God like Enoch, or lie upon His bosom
with John, or soar into His presence like
Moses, The weakest saint in his sim
plest Worship. proves the principle. There
are owls and bats, birds of the night, and
there are men of weakness.
In the severe age of stoicism, men ran
to death because they had nowhere else
to go. They became tired doing the same
things over and over again
''rhe wise men of the earth have prophe-
sled Christ. Socrates. in his Memorabilia,
prOphesied the advent of some heaven-sent
guide. Plato, in his Alcibiades, anticipated
the coming OF deliverer. No greater error
was ever advanced than rnat which claims
that man could get on without this writ
ten revelation. The greatest and wisest of
heather teachers deny this themselves
Augustine sums all when he says ''In
Plato and Cicero find many beautiful and
wise utterances, but in none OF them do I
find. Come unto me. all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and l will give you rest
We are almost awe struck at the mar
velous apprehension of Christian principles
by Marcus Aurelius. and are the more sur
prised at his hatred OF Christians them
selves. God has spoken to men, as Paul
says, at sundry times and in queer places
sometimes by Pagan philosopher, sometimes
by Hebrew poet and prophet. II st. Paul
can learn from Aratus. Menander and
Epimenides We should not stop our ears.
1T is the part of highest wisdom to sit
at the feet of Christ-consciously or un-
consciously. All wisdom centers about this
babe of Bethlehem.
Let us follow the example of these Cod
