Fundamental Truths Upon Which

The congregations of the First Eng
Ash and Welsh Baptist churches con-
Quoted union services last evening and
the church was taxed to its capacity
by the large audience who heard Rev.
s. F. Mathews logical and eloquent
discourse on the theme, "A Great
Gulf" based on Luke xvi2e. "And be-
side all this, between us and you, there
is great gulf fixed. So that they
which would pass from hence to you
cannot. neither can they pass to US
that would come from thence"
In the course of his remarks Rev.
Mathews said: I'VE have before us
this evening. without n shadow OF
doubt, one of the most impressive,
most startling, Of all the lessons that
ever fell from the lips OF Jesus Christ
In his ministry as the teacher of the
human race, and as its strong. .unbroken
deductions and stern, unyieldipg con-
clusions strikes our awed ear. we feel
that though eighteen centuries have
rolled their round, moulding and ele-
waiting the human race. yet those words
have not lost their force, point or
dreadful character.
THAT today they mean Just as much
to the world, Just as much to phil
osophy, just as much to the soul, as
when standing by doomed Jerusalem
and in the presence of the cross, the
Christ of history unrolled them as the
will and the law of that infinite power,
who, while He is as dew and sun
shine in His mercy and love to the
penitent and heart broken, is to the
workers of iniquity and all their dark
following in every sense a consuming
fire.
LET us not enter lightly or fippantly
into the consideration of this great
text: If it is a truth, it Is and must
be a great truth, one of those vital and
fundamental truths upon which are
built the whole gospel. If We accep,
this parable as a teoching OF Jesus
and believe that he meant to lay before
us a fact, then let us pause, think and
view 1t not as music. poetry or flow
ers, but as a great gulf. draw near tc
its edge and directed by the finger OF
God look into its depths and ask our
selves the question, Does our path
way Of life lead to it''
This parable is one of series
spoken by Jesus just before His death
The first was one month before the
crucifixion; the second three weeks
before the death of Jesus, and the par
able Of my text the last Of the series
