Discourse of Rev. Burt
Estes Howard
''LORD' WHAT IS MAN?,,
B. W. B. TAYLER'S SERMON AT
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH
Rev. Rice on the Third Article of
Faith—Services at Unity Church
and Elsewhere
Rev. Burt Estes Howard preached
yesterday at the First Presbyterian
church from Mark, viii:36: "For what
doth it profit a man to gjain the whole
world and forfeit his life?" It has been
said by some one that Jesus dscoverei
the Individual. Whether this be true
or no, he certainly discovered the value
of man as man. The Gospel is not an
appeal to self-interest, but to the di
vinity that sleeps within each human
heart. Jesus was the mighty redeemer
ot manhood. Not alone did he save men,
but he rescued the ideal from the low
level to which it had fallen.
Viewed from a long perspective, the
king and' the beggar look just alike.
Jesus was so far above the mere acci
dents and artifiecs with which men love,
to drape themselves and by which they
Judge each other, that from his point
of view all these trappings faded out,
and every man stood forth simply as a
man. With Jesus, nothing from without
could add anything to the true dignity
and worth involved' in the idea of man.
Neither wealth nor birth nor station
could add one cubit to the stature of a
man. Jesus discovered the divinity of
bare humanity; he believed in the
Individual. When it came to a compar
ison of men and things, Jesus declared
not only that men are worth more than
things, tout that a man is worth more
than all things.
"What doth it profit a man to gain
the whole world' and forfeit his life," is
not an appeal to loosen our hold upon
earth in order to secure heaven. It is
no stimulating of our cupidity in order
to get us ito give up one pleasurable set
of conditions for a set of conditions in
another world far more pleasurable. It
is no pious speculation in margins, or
dealing in futures. It is a manly, square
appeal to the best there is' in us—an
\ppeal for recognition of the inherent
lignity and worth of our own manhood.
Jesus does not imply that the world,
the complicated system of buying and
selling, eating and drinking, the intricate
relationship in which human life finds
itself located, is evil in itself, and for
that reason to he scorned and avoided.
Jesus never taught a weak withdrawal
from life's responsibilities and pursuits.
The world is God's world, and' he meant
his children to live in. it, but he meant
them to be larger than any circum
stances In which they were placed, and
Jesus taught with intense earnestness
the fatherhood of God, but he morticed
it with its corollary—the sonship of man.
All his alms and efforts were directed
toward quickening the mind's and hearts
of men into consciousness of Gods hu
manity and their own divinity.
If man is the child of God. and heir
of the eternities, if the world with all
Its brilliancy passeth away with the de
sire thereof, then as a practical business
proposition brought down to the level
of ordinary calculations of everybody
transactions the question carried -with
it its own answer. He saw men, as we
see them now, suffering and slaving and
sacrificing, cheating each other and
cheating themselves, scheming and plun
dering by direction or indirection, toil
ing and moiling day after day, year after
year, until the withered husks of them
selves are buried in the earth—and all
for what? For a fuller man
hood? For a divine soul? For a
larger life? Nay; but that they might
rake and scrape together a bit of dust,
a little heap of stuff, that they must
needs leave as soon as they have gath
ered It, and that is not legal tender the
other side of the grave.
Here is a plain business proposition.
What are you profited if you gain all
that you are striving for in the way of
houses and lands, money, stocks and
bonds, if in gaining these things, you for
feit the man in you? Mark you, the con
trast is not between this world and the
next, although we usually read it that
way. Jesus does not set forth a choice
of worlds, nor does he imply It. It is a
contrast of world over and against man.
The caution is not against gaining the
world, but gaining It at the expense of
personal soul. Jesus is really inciting
men to get the most out of this world,
but not in the terms of the world; rather
In the terms of manhood. There is to be
an accumulation, but it is an accumula
tion of personal character; there is to be
a profit, but it is in the man that there
must be evidenced the increment of gain.
There must be the making of money,
the building of ships and railroads, the
opening of mines and mills, the stir of
marts and the rumble of traffic in the
streets—men are called of God to these
things as to a holy ministry, but these
things are ministries, not ends in them
selves. They are false to their divine or
dination, save as they are made tribu
tary to a larger and better manhood.
It Is far better to open the minds of men
to a noble and uplifting truth than it is
to open the mills and the mints of the
world to the makers of money at the
expense of truth.
The ideal the large part of the race
has Is the making of money rather than
of manhood; the securing of comfort
rather than character. There is as much
truth as wit in the remark that the pur
poses of most of us can be put in three
degrees of comparison—first, to get on;
second, to get honor; and third, to get
honest. The tests of success in life are
almost without exception commercial
testa. B u ' a man is really worth only
what he is. What he owns is but so
much accumulated opportunity. It must
be translated into character to have in
trinsic value. When we appreciate the
value of the man In us, apart from our
setting of circumstance and condition;
when we come to know how holy and
large and divine a thing it is to be a
just and true man; when we esteem
manhood at God's valuation, the valua
tion of spirit and not the valuation of
matter; when the thought we keep up
permost to the dignity and worth of our
awn manhood, and when we learn to be
master of our lives, to be larger than our
calling and to make our business, our
profession, pay tribute to the high soul
in us, then, and not until then, shall we
be qualified to lift up our heaven-created
heads and walk the earth like kings, and
sin and grossness will have no more do
minion over us.
ST JOHN'S CHURCH
|Bey. B. W. R. Tayler on the Text
"Lord, What Is ManP"
Rev. B. W. R. Tayler preached yester
day morning at St. John's church from
the thirty-third verse of the one hundred
and forty-fourth psalm: "Lord, what is
man that Thou has such respect unto
him; or the son of man that Thou so
regardest him?" The Psalmist is only
asking the question of all ages. Man is
not content to accept his existence as
a fact without looking back of the great
forces which preceded that fact to find
out its genesis. Like asilver thread run
ning through the dark fabric of life,
there is apparent the unquenchable de
sire of man to know these two things:
first, his origin; and, second, his des
tiny.
The Psalmist, when he asked this
question, had in mind the complexity of
man's character, the multiform mani
festations of good and bad which he saw
mankind was capable of. There seems to
be no limit to the virtue which mankind
may develop, nor to the vice which he
may practice. And yet the providential
care of God is exercised over the worst
felons that fill the haunts of viciousness
no less than over the devotee at His altar
shrine. God does not think hopelessly or
meanly of mankind. He knows that in
the most vicious there is the possibility
of living a virtuous life, and He knows
that in the most virtuous there is the
possibility of a fall into the seductive
clutches of vice. Our blessed Lord never
shrunk from contact with the vilest fel
ons of society. He spoke kindly, even
affectionately to the woman taken in
adultery. He permitted a sinful woman
to lavish her caresses upon His sacred:
feet and accepted from her the tribute
of the precious perfume of spikenard. Is
it not sometimes humiliating to us tosee
how little the spirit enters into our es
timates of humanity; humanity, which
perhaps might be less sinful, less guilty
of those excesses which sometimes »tar
tle a community, were we possessed of
the spirit of Christ in our judgments and
censures?
Those who are familiar with the vari
ous answers which the philosophers of
the present day have given to the uni
versal question, "What is man?" must
admit that there are three answers
which contain within themselves all the
answers which the world has ever given.
The first contemplates humanity as a
cause wholly and completely lost, and,
even admitting a divine wisdom in its
origin, nevertheless considers that it is
now, by its own degenerate worthless
ness, wholly and irretrievably beyond
redemption. According to this answer,
there is some little Justification of such
a conception, in certain phases of social
life which flit before us. There is plenty
of corruption, vice, degradation and in
justice, plenty of that moral putres
cence which thrusts its contaminating
effluvium under the nose of the public.
But is there no regenerating influence at
work? Surely God is in the midst of
His people, stretching out His omnipo
tent hand in many ways to correct
abuses which are only too apparent. The
second answer to the question is one
which deifies humanity. "There is no
God but humanity" is its watchword.
Everything is to be simply humanita
rian. Religion is to be humanitarianism
systematized. God is to be eliminated
from all considerations of life and its
problems. Humanilarianism i 9 a cult
believed by its followers to solve the
problem of the future by breaking down
with the weapons of insolence the bar
riers of condition which God has created
between Himself and His creatures.
There is, let us admit, a sense of fascina
tion in such enthusiasm, incarnadined
though it be with the crimson of conceit;
but its ultimate effect is to debase that
which It strives to exalt, for humanity
can only be enduring and effective when
the foot of man stands upon those un
shaken foundations where rests the glis
tening throne of God.
The true answer to the question,
"What is man?" is given us in the infal
lible records of God's word. It is that
God made man in His Image; that man
lost the likeness when by his own delib
erate choice he sinned against his Maker,
and that God sent His own Son to re
deem mankind and restore in him the
shattered image. Our blessed Saviour
became man that He might show us the
lineaments of God in the habiliments of
humanity. Much as we may speculate
on man's origin and destiny, this much
is true —that man is a being so precious
in God's sight that his rescue from sin
and death is held to be worth the tre
mendous sacrifice on Calvary. Some
times we are shocked or appalled at
some event which seems to make the
very foundations of society totter and
shake. We are brought face to face with
all the awful facts of man's vice and
frailty; but let us remember always that
no matter how wicked and sinful a sou!
may be, there must be in it something
of infinite value, slnee God would re
deem it by a sacrifice which was the
greatest sacrifice in the history of the
world. No matter how vile, degraded
and unclean a soul may be, God loves it
with an affection infinitely deeper than
the affection of the tenderest mother,
and the blessed Saviour condescended to
yield up His life for it upon the tree of
shame.
Lord, What is man? Thou knowest
better than we do. Thou hast created
him; Thou knowest, therefore, the beg
garly materials of which he is made.
Thou hast redeemed him; Thou knowest,
therefore, the sacrifice of redemption,
and will not suffer that redemption to
be non-effective. Thou sanctified him;
Thou knowest, therefore, how often he
needs Thy saving grace. Thy constant
help, Thy guidance, Thy love. We know
now the answer to the Psalmist's ques
tion: "Lord, what is man that Thou hast
such respect unto him, or the son of man
that Thou so regardest him?"
UNIVERSALIS! CHURCH
Rev. Rice on the Third Article of
Faith
As a theme for the final discourse be
fore the annual vacation, Rev. A. A. Rice,
the pastor, took the third or last article
of the Universalist faith: "We believe
that holiness and true happiness are
inseparably connected, and that believ
ers ought to be careful to maintain or
der and practice good works, for these
things are good l and profitable unto
men."
He said, in part: The fact here stated
that true happiness is inseparable from
holmes« is receiving recognition through
out the world, and especially in relig
ious circles. Holiness, which consists in
conformity to the nature and' will of
God, or in acting out the simple good
nature with which man is endowed in
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1897
preference to a willful disobedience, is
being recognized as the only road to
heaven. Let this statemejit of belief be
received—and we defy earth or heaven
to disprove the "Inseparable connec
tion"—and become as firmly imbedded
in the minds of men as it is in the Uni
versalis! creed, and the present Chris
tian theology will be at the threshold
of a revolution from which it shall re
ceive complete transformation.
The doctrine of probatlon.w-hich makes
the idea that death ends all chance for
salvation rest on the arbitrary flat of
God, finds its feet entangled in the truth
that happiness comes from holiness, and
is overthrown, for not even God'himself
could set a day this should, be untrue.
The doctrine of the atonement, the
belief that Christ vicariously atones foi
the sins of the world, or dies in its stead,
crosses swords with the simple and un
pretentious fact that holiness is the day
spring of happiness, and is vanquished,
for what can Jesus do for our salva
tion, save to help us to be holy?
So that devil's bugbear, the doctrine
of everlasting punishment, in lurid and
.awful pretentions grapples wUth th
diminutive "inseparably connected, holi
ness and happiness," and retires in cha
grin and weakness. In its place appears
universal salvation, which is as sure as
its condition is holy, and which cries to
all men, "You must be holy."
UNITY CHURCH
Christ's Hold Upon the Human
Soul
Yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. J.
S. Thomson, preached a sermon on
"Christ's Hold Upon the Human Soul,"
using the text, "Neither shall any man
pluck them out of My hand" —John x:2B.
Dead and forgotten teachers still exer
cise much influence over us. Socrates,
after his death, held Plato, Xenophon
and thousands of Greeks in his hand.
Four hundred millions of Buddhists are
still held in the hand of Buddha, al
though he has been dead more than
twenty-five centuries. Mos.es died more
than thirty-three centuries ago, but to
day he holds the Jewish people in his
strong hand. Mohammed and Confu
cius maintain their hold upon many
millions.
Christ, after his death, held his disci
ples in his hand. They died for Hissake
and for the truth of His Gospel. Now
millions of consecrated souls would suf
fer imprisonment, hunger and death for
the beloved Master and for His holy Gos
pel. He holds in his invisible hands the
destinies of nations and of millions of
unborn souls. He declared that His dis
ciples would be Judged by His words at
the last day. When we study, appreci
ate and accept His Gospel it seta up in
our consciences the highest standard of
morality; and this is the standard by
which His disciples will be judged.
Moses wrote his decalogue in the
hearts of his people, and today he Judges
them by it. His moral authority is rec
ognized by them, and they remain loyal
and true to him and his laws after cen
turies of persecution of all kinds, and in
spite of all temptations which have been
offered to them to forsake their great
lawgiver. The Jews will be Judged by
the words of Moses at the last day. The
Buddhists, Hindoos. Parsees, Moham
medans, have accepted the Sharma
pada, Vedas, Zendavesta, Koran, as
their standards of morality and religion;
and they will be judged by these stand
ards at the last day, and not by our
Christian standards.
The Constitution of the United State?
was made by men long dead, and it still
exercises some influence over Ameri
cans. If Roman and English laws were
eliminated from our laws chaos would
be the result; the Romans and English
men to whom we owe these valuable
laws have been dead a long time, and
they are nearly forgotten. Those dead
and forgotten lawmakers hold us in their
invisible hands. They reign over us. No
revolution nor revolutionist can pluck
us out of their hands, because centuries
of experience have justified those wise'
and good laws. They have been verified
as principles of Justice and right.
Christ's declarations are all based
upon laws and principles of the uni
verse. His words shall never pass away.
When we train our children to put their
hands in Christ's hand to be conducted
to truth, love and right they will be
come wise, strong and good. When
Christ ie in our hearts we shall behonest.
honorable, pure and truthful. He holds
us in His powerful hand and we are safe.
BETHLEHEM INSTITUTIONAL
High Men in Lowly Places Giving TJp
All for God
At Bethlehem Institutional church
the pastor, Rev. Dana W. Bartlett, spoke
on the text Neh. 111-13. He cited the
example of Christ washing the diisciples'
feet, and thus setting an example of
humility. We may not be able to go to
foreign fields as a missionary, but we
can do the work which is placed before
us. God always opens the way and
leads the steps of the Christian who is
thoroughly consecrated, filled with an
intense longing for souls. "Humble
yourselves under the mighty hand of
God that He may exalt you in due
season." Numerous'instances were'set
forth of kings and' nobles going out
among the poor and' needy, bringing
succor andi aid 1 , of men and. women of
wealth and high position giving up
their lives to rescuing those in misery
and sin. Many people go "slumming"
through curiosity. Almost anyone will
give at least part of a loaf to the strang
er at the gate. God wants us, however,
to go out Into the highways searching
for the lost. Are you holding aloof?
Are you a self-seeker? Get right down
into the midst of the poor and wretched,
the sin-burdened and oppressed, and
minister to them In the name of our
blessed Lord and' Savior. "Andi ye shall
have rest unto your souls."
