it having cotne more generally known Beecher has resumed his pulpit In reading the 13th psalm before the sermon Mr Beecher adopted the revised version and the changes made by the revision ere very parent The reading made it necessary for Mr Beecher to utter for the first time ia the pulpit the new appellation of the infernal regions and it may be noted by seekers for authority iu such matters that Mr pronounced it exactly word Mr Beecher made his annual appeal to the American Missionary society He it as in bis opinion by far the most ant institution at present working for progress in this laud Its work was principally among foreigners resideat or naturalized here including the Chinese said Mr Beecher with emphasis have emigrated here and will emigrate here Mr believed tbat in the education and tha religious cation of these peoples lay the solution of many problems Whatever may bo the questions of other said he the question with us day is the question of their rights their position For the conflict bet we ju labor and capital and all those who labor by it for all the questions of race of color 01 difference of religion there is a solution in the gospel of Jesus Christ and if having this power and having this bread of on our hands we do not give it forth Christian patriotism will stagger and will dis Mr Beecher's text was the first four Of the First chapter of John John I i-iv In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God The same was in the beginning with God All things were made by Him and without Him was anything made was made In Him was life and the life was the light of mea This last is spoken of Christ not of His human condition but as God said Mr Beecher Men of definition he continued can make very little of such mystic passages The voice of th as it has been handed down to us from the Roman mind is an attempt to reduce things to definition in such a sense to define God as that He shall be com- pressed to our mind within exact the illimitable the infinite made finite the divine government framed into chapters and sections as if the government of the could be likened to the imperial of Rome with its provinces ties and towns Nowhere perhaps so much as in this book the life of Christ by John do we find the abandonment of the system of dots angles lines and It is perpetually reaching out in unexpected and it puzzles us to follow and thereby it shows itself to be a truly inspired All phenomena of nature and all the frame-work of the we aro to under- stand by this passage have their life in the life of Gcd It may be said they float in an universal atmospheric life divine The life principle of the universe is God It is above everything it is beneath every thing it is on every side it is the one germinant energy The touch of God's presence every where is the reason of life Johnson is never mistaken for Burke The way of their minds is so different No one could confound Webster in his gigantic speeches and Emerson in the stringed pearls of his style This is recognition of interior personality which is far more individual tbat anything corporeal Plato is dead bat Plato's writings exist and Plato exhales from them and there is a living Plato and a living socrates Thus we have personality as determined by matter and personality as determined by mind Almost from the very beginning God forbade anyone to liken Him to anything material In the spiritual kingdom He will be dis- as God and mother When wo shall arise and see Him as the scripture subtly says We shall see Him as He is God is the universal life in men borrow from Him every thought tion life is everywhere His whole being is everywhere It pervades space time and existence It is more like light and heat than any other illustration So it is used throughout the bible Our God is a He was the the light of the world and gave light Were he to withdraw self there would be no cohesion no tion no quality Matter rushing in dire confusion would dissolve and perish And it is the being of God everywhere that holds things together and inspires them to tendencies and ripens them to results Here thought stops We can not the quality or the nature of a being that is everywhere present and always He is tha great underlying energy that modern science at last has found out an d in which it believes They say that no Goi is needed that once postulating energy the whole universe can be unfolded from that Yes you call it energy I call it God But science at last has come to that fact re- many thousand years ago All things were made by Him there was not anything made that was not made by Him The Greek Christians accepted the brew idea that God was an universal presence and that He was the light of the world the universal energy identified with all growth and all life and all being Sc that you perceive they came very near to our scientific postulate of energy as the starting point of creation What that energy is science has never been to de- fine or state or even prove But ages ago holy men inspired of God declared that GoJ was that energy that universal phere in which the worid and all its forces float The whole world sprang out of the life of God and existed as a part of his life and was ministered to every of its being by tha direct presence and contact of the nature And this conception of the universality of tbe personality of gives the life and mission of Jesus Christ a clearer interprets taon Tbe whole human nature longs for a defined God for one that shall answer what to our communication with each other Es was on 5 went about doing Ic was Ay that said It is to than to Like thy lamp or tbe caudle receiving from the atmosphere but only that it may pay back again in effulgent light And sc that which we loag for iu the universal and invisible 1 the spirit that pervades the whole of time aad ths world we obtain in Jesus He stands God in the universal sympathy of His nature ia its succor in its fruitful supply for want hava now that we cia fix our eye on and answers to our for so cau do the Jesus in just such an as suits our want anci every one fastens upon Jesus Christ some form soma expressions of something that brings him near to their want That was his function Men have posed that Christ came into the world tc give a lost race You might search one pole to tho other and around the tor a thousand times and you could not find the lost race that he came to make Adam stumble hut never existed and he never stumbled and there was nothing therefore in that to bring Christ into the world Itat theology particularly Roman has gone on saying that He came into the world to instead of man to make a plan by man could be saved but that plan was jna le in the foundation of the worid From the beginning to the end every man by God was saved if he lived in the life of God He cama into this world to let us know that GoJ so loved us that he guvo bis sou to die for and Hi dying was tho evidence that was love and that he would save men not because they deserve it but be- cause God desires it The diffused and universal of God is drawing the world toward him The grain and chaff both exist The one shall be garnered an i the other burned All life that has in it no principle of the animal out like a I know we are sorry There is many a horse that is better fit for than tbe man rides it IK many a dog that has marc disinterested love than the man that owns it And why should not they have a chance hereafter I don't know but they will The word of the He that sows to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption Death dissolution annihilation He that to the spirit life eternal In this great moving current of divine life in have moved all that accept the life of tha light of and move onward no matter relatively how low they are all of them shall appear ia Zion before God And who turn away from Him and go toward the animal they uot see Him or know
