Always With You."

Matthew, 26:11; Mark, 14:7; j
Mathew, 26:11; Mark, 1875 John
1878.
Perhaps there is no text of the holy
scriptures SO often misinterpreted and
misconstrued as the one above quoted,
and by it's misconstruction been more
fruitful of harm
It has been and is still used to i'm
pede and paralyze the efforts, hopes
aims, aspirations and purposes of re-
formers.
1t is stumbling block in the way
of those who are trying to tighten and
brighten the paths of the poor.
We have heard preachers proclaim
from the pulpit that all talk about
improving the social and economic
conditions of the race is mere waste
of time, a chimera of the brain, a fig
ment of the imagination, because
this saying of Christ makes it impos-
sible to rid the world of its poor!
We hardly take it that it is impious
or unreasonable to say that this utter
ance of Christ is in no sense aproph-
ecy or condemnation; but, on the
contrary. is merely statement of a
then existing fact, and nothing more.
In commenting upon this text, DIR.
Adam Clark, the great English COM
mentator, says:
eye have the poor always with
you, consequently have the oppor-
tunity of doing them good at any
time"
In what better way can we do them
good than by removing the causes
that make them poor?
1t were better than aims giving, be-
cause that only affords temporary re-
lief, and it would not make one class
debtor to another; it would remove
any resemblance to the spirit of giver
and receiver, or of master and SER
want.
If this saying of Christ were
judgment and condemnation. why
did He go among the poor? Why did
He seek their habitation to rest His
wear body, instead of the palaces of
the rich? Why did He choose His
disciples from among them?
Christ himself was poor; He was
born in a manager; His surroundings
were humble; His hands were soiled
and hardened with toll; He drank to
the full thelcup of poverty.
Why should He pronounce curse
and condemn the larger portion of
the human race to ceaseless, unre-
quitting toll; to hopeless, helpless pow
erty?
: 1t would make His life a lie?
If God had intended, as Mr.. Lin
coin once said, for some men to do all
the work, and other men to do all the
eating, He would have created some
men with all mouths and no hands,
and others with all hands and no
mouths.
But. God did not do this. He Gre
ted all in His own image.
The distinction comes rot at, but
after birth.
Unless there is some malformation,
every child is alike, or very nearly
alike, when it comes from its moth
er's womb. When the garments are
put upon its little body then the dis
tinction takes place, and this distinc-
ton, with here and there an excep-
ton, lasts through life.
The child whose swaddling clothes
are made of coarse cotton cloth, I'M
der present economic conditions,
rarely outgrows them. They are the
badge of the bourgeois, the proletaire;
but, stripped of these garments, there
is scarcely distinction in any new
born child.

the bottom Of a deeper sea? Is there
any power on earth which more surely
can transform wrong TO right. make
the strong care for the weak. make Tyr
amy take her iron heel of the neck OF
PROSTATE Helplessness, than the power
Of Jesus? Where can you find an i'm
mortal panacea for the graves horror
and for the cure of sin save in the
crucihxion and the resurrection and
the atonement of Jesus Christ? The
themes of gospel oratory are not only
wide enough and great enough to put
man in right touch with God and
heaven, but they are so great that If
we once accept them and practice
them they will give us perfect homes,
perfect neighbors, perfect nations and
a perfect world. They are so great
that if we only practice them Glove,
joy, peace, long suffering, gentIeness,
goodness, faith, meekness, temper
ance," shall everywhere be supreme In
the human heart Could we have a
surer cure for all the evils of the world
to come than Is offered in the themes
Of gospel oratory?
To make right might and to redress
the wrongs of limited class have been
the causes which have inspired wonder
full orations during the past years.
Watch the lightnings of invective that
have leaped out of the eyes Of the ora
tors during the dark days of the aboli-
ton movement Amid that mighty bur-
ricane of Oratory we can see William
Lloyd Garrison, with clinched fists, de-
flying the Boston mobs. We can hear
his biting words, amid a perfect pande-
monium of wrath, crying: You will
hear me! In spite Of yourselves you
will hear mew You can see Wendell
Phillips standing amid a shower of
brickbats waiting for lull In the storm
to drive into the hearts Of his hearers
another sentence to prove to them why
the black men should be free We can
hear glorious John Bright pleading for
the rights of the black men from the
other side Of the sea- And if injustice
against the black men offered such a
mighty theme for the eloquent tongue
shall not modern injustice against the
white slave offer just as great
theme for gospel eloquence? Oh, yes,
gospel orators have the mightiest of
themes for eloquent speech! The Cos
pei Of Christ will right all wrongs.
1t will emancipate a sinner from all
sins. 1t would make all men conquer
ors in this world as well as in the
world to come Man, would you be
truly eloquent? Then by the power of
the Holy Spirit have your tongue plead
for the universal acceptance of the
gospel in impassioned oratory.
The Cure For Ills.
Gospel oratory gives the sublimest of
all themes. 1t does more than that. It
offers the greatest Of all authorities by
which those themes are discussed IT
comes to man and places in his hand
the Bible and says: MAN, here is the |
word Of God. These are not my state
ments. These are promises made BY |
our divine Father. If you VIII accent |
Gods word and do as this boo, '-oa
your life will be blessed" 80
