The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1897-11-26

Christ. An artisans Christ. An every
mans Christ.
THE WORLD WANTS HELP.
A symmetrical and finely worded
system Of the theology is we'll enough
for theological classes, but it has no
more business in a pulpit than ave
the technical phrases Of an anatomist
or a physician in the sickroom Of a
patient. The world wants help, i'm
mediate and world uplifting, and it
will come through a sermon in which
Christ shall walk right down into the
immortal soul and take everlasting
possession of it, filling it as full of light
as the monday armament. That SER
mon of the future will not deal with
men in the t~hreadbare Illustrations of
Jesus Christ. In that coming sermon
there will be instances Of vicarious
sacrifice taken right out Of everyday
life, for there is not a day somebody is
not dying for others. AS the physician,
saving his d~iphtheTic patient by sacri-
ficlng his own life; as the ship captain,
going down with his vessel, while he
is getting his passengers into the life
boat: as the fireman, consuming in the
burning building, while he is taking a
child out of a fourtn story window; as
last summer the strong swimmer at
LoHS bTdncn or cape May or Lake
George himself persisted trying to res
cue the drowning: as the newspaper
boy not long ago, supporting his
mother for some years, his invalid
mother, when offered by a gentleman
so cents to get some especial paper,
and he got it rushed up in his anxiety
to deliver it, and was crushed under
the wheels of the train, and lay on
the grass with only strength enough
to a ooh, what will become of my
poor sick mother now?"
Vicarious suffering? The world is
full Of it. An engineer said to me On
a locomotive in Dakota: I'VE men
seem to be coming to better apprecia-
ton than we used to. Did you see that
account the other day OF an engineer.

his place. and when he was our dead

his hand on the airbrake?" And as
the engineer said to me he put his hand
on the airbrake to illustrate his mean
ing. and / looked at him and thought.
You would be just as much Of a hero
In the same crisis"
Oh. in that coming sermon Of the
Christian church there will be living IL
Illustrations taken from everyday life OF
vicarious NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that
will bring to mind the ghasuier sacri-
flee OF him who. in the high places OF
the field and On h cross. fought our
battle and wept our griefs and endured
our struggles and died our death.
