famous Rev. Charles Spurgeon, VINO

count of i'll health. In his enforced

to become an artist, and has lately had
an exhibition of some eighty water
color drawings on views in London.

ing social issue lies this question OF
Christian loyalty.
The Open Air Faith.
The platform of the party of jesus
which goes by various names, such
as the Church, The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom Of Heaven, etc.-was
laid down by it's leader after he had
spent night on the mountain top in
prayer and meditation. Then he pro-
ceeded to choose his inner circle of
disciples. His cabinet. so to speak
1t is not germane to the present dis,
his platform was Jesus himself. His
gospel, as finally given by the New
Testament, Is higher, broader, deeper
holier than this utterance which we
are considering as his platform; yet
the best that can be said of Confu.
cianism, or Buddhism. or Hinduism, is
that in certain teachings they resenl,
bic particular passages in this ser.
mon on the mount.
1t was mountain side sermon. an
out-ofdoors discourse. Some philoso
piers smell of musty Libraries, but
the freshness of the open air and the
beauty of green fields and wide land
scapes was in this original pronounce
ment which was spoken by the seated
teacher to the multitude of eager lis
teners, who were grouped about him
on level stretch of the mountain OF
the beatitudes.
The Basis of Reform.
So simple are the beatitudes, which
we count the cheap planks in the
platform Of the party of Jesus, that
they are the favorite passages fo1
memorization by childhood Because
of their very simplicity, many persons
do not realize that they are real phil
osophy. Their stupendous originality
their radically fresh presentation OF
mans relation to life, is almost OBJ
scured by their limpid language. In

said he, is the mission OF all members |
OF the new party. To be salt means
to have tang. To be person with a
flavor. Most life lacks Just this. The
tastelessness of life is what causes
SO many to weary Of it. 1t Is the rare
person who comes into community
with individuality and originality Of
force, and all that goes to make up
personality. Such a person, however,
fiavors the community. There was a
New England girl marooned in one
of the poyerty-stricken, characterless
neighborhoods which drive their youth
to the city, and she brought to that
community an entire redemption of it's
life. She introduced a variety of in
terests. She stood for culture and re-
fnement and religion. She gathered
the boys and girls about her and dis
cipled them into membership in the
party which Jesus founded long ago
en- the slope of Kurn Hattin. Such
las she impart the savor of God to all
whom they touch in the course Of the
day.
In his quaint volume, "The None
such Professor" William Seeker says,
Cicero complains of Homer that he
taught the gods to live like men, but
Christ teaches men to live like Cod
That is a test that Jesus applies. He
bids men live such life that the
world, beholdihg, will think of the
Father in heaven Members of the
Christ party are not to do good works
that their good works may be glorified,
but only that Source of the works
may have honor. 1t is first obliga-
ticn of every member OF the party
of Jesus, SO to live, but whatever else
the world thinks about. him, it will
think first Of all Of his God.

world envied him, his apparent riches.
