CHAPL LAIN KERNAHAN At THREE NEE TINGS

,,non the part of ali to cleave to that
which is easy and to abhor that which is
difficult. All speakers desire to say those
things which are easy to say and pleas
ant to hear These are three pregnant
facts which account to large degree for
the neglect of one Of the basic principles
of Christianiyt.
'"Fhe Bible is replete with hortatory
remarks concerning repentance. 1t com
mands it, 1t urges it. 1t enforces it.
over so times repentance is taught in the
Bible. The great doctrine Of repentance
occupies large place in the teachings Of
Jesus Christ and his apostles.
Il feel that often in our zeal to get
men into the kingdom we have lowered
the standard. AS we study the instances
in which these words were first spoken
we cannot help seeing that they meant
far more than they do today. They do
not affect us in the same way. l am
afraid that we have pulled these words
Repent Ye' down othe low levels of our
own experiences. But that is not the
way to climb with measured steps the
hills of light and be in unbroken COM
munion with God. Perhaps we have been
more anxious about heads than hearts
Jesus Christ never made it easy to
repent. We have said to anybody and
everybody Only believe The New Tes-
lament does not say so. The devil be-
lieves, and believes more than some of
us do; he knows more about it. There
was a man who came and asked Are
there but few that be saved?' and he
said: Strive, struggle, agonize to enter
in at the straight gate He never made
it easy. Here is another man who
came and said Lord, I will follow Thee
whithersoever Thou goest.' But Jesus
knew that he had not counted the cost
and said: Foxes have holes, and the
5irds of the air have nests but the son
of man hath nowhere to lay his head
Here is another who came and said
Lord, what shall I do to inherit eterna
life% Jesus diagnosed his case instantly
and put his finger on the weak spot ir
his life and said: If thou wilt be perfec'
sell all that thou hast, and give to The
poor, and come and follow me- Jesu:
