Sermon by
CHARLES T.
RUSSELL,
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabetnaclc.
Norfolk, Va., Fcb. 13. Are tho worda
of our tcst truo? Is lt posslblo that
tho truo rcllglou of tho Blblo demands
nothlng inoro of us than is cxprcsscd
iu thls tcst? What about tho Jcw
lsh Law? What about Us sln-offcrlng,
lts burnt-ofCcrlng, lts thank-ollcrlngs?
What about tho tcn commaudmcnts?
AVhat about tho dlgcst of thoso com
lnandmcnts approvcd by our Lord Jc
sus, "Thou shalt lovo tho Lord tby
God with all thy hoart, with all thy
uilnd, with all thy bcing, with all thy
strcngth; aud thou shalt lovo thy
ncighbor as thyself"? What about
Church attcndaucc? What about our
rcsnonslbllltles to our fAtnlllcs? To thc '
Church? To tho poor? What about
study of tho Blblo to know God's wlll? i
What about our responslbtllty for thc
hcathcu? What about baptlsm and
tho Lord's supper?
Indlrectly, dcar brcthrcn, nll tho
matters lucludcd in our qucstlous aud
iuany moro nrc lucludcd incidentally iu
tho provlsions of our text. Somctlinos
a wholo scrmou is proachcd in n fow
words. No ouc will dlsputo tho rea
sonablcncss of tho Dlvine rcqulrcnicut
as statcd iu our text. Our Crcator
could not justly or with self-respect
ask lcss than thls of hls crcaturcs who
would cnjoy hls favor. Tho lntcrcsts
of all demaud that thcso priuclplcs
should bo requlred of evcry crcature
penulttcd thc cnjoyincnt of Dlviuo fa
vor to tho cxtent of otcrnal llfo. Who
evcr fails to coiue up to thcso condl
tlons would thus ovidenco hls un
worthlncss of llfo ctcrnnl; hls pro
longed cxlstcucc would uierely bo a
prospcrlug of slu aud a mcnaco to tho
happincss aud rightcousness of othcrs.
But uow lct us &eo tho scopo of thls
Dlviiie requlreincnt, whoso justlco wc
havo already acknowlcdgcd. Wc notc
tho natural dlvlsiou of our text into
thrco parts:
(1) Dolng justly;
(2) Ldving lucrcy;
(3) Walking huiubly.
Thc requlrcment of justico ln all our
dealings with our fellows, commcuds
itsclf to cvery ratlonal inlud. lt in
cludcs tho wholo Law of God. A
brlcf statcmcnt of that Law whlch
bad our Lord's approval reads, Thou
shalt lovo tho Lord thy God with all
thy heart and all thy mlnd. all thy
bclng aud all thy strcngth; and thou
shalt lovo thy ncighbor as tbysclf. On
thcso two proposlllons hang all thc
Law and tho Prophcts. It is but Just
that wc sbould rocognlze our Creator
as flrst; that wo should glorify tho
Ono who guvo us our belng aud all
thc blcsslngs that como thcrewith;
that wo should bo obediont to hls
rightcous rcqulremeuts that makc for
our own happlness and that of othcrs.
lt ls also but rlght that wo shoulil
recoguize tho rights of othcrs, ns we
would havo thctu rccognlze our rights,
Tho Goldcn Rule is tho barcst of jus-
tlcc. Not a hair's breadth lcss would
come within the rcquircmenls of our
text, Do Justly. Come, then, lct us
reason together. llow uiany of us
do justly ln all of lifo's affalrs Iu our

Begln at home. Lct each ono crltl-
cise his words aud hls deeds toward
hls parents; toward hls chlldreii; to

toward' husband; toward wlfe. Do
wo In all of our rclatlousblps of llfo
treat thcso who aro so near and so
dear to us according to the standards
of Jiisticc. according to tho Goldcn
Itulo? Do we do toward thcm as we
would havo thcm do toward us? If
not, after niaklug a bcglnnlng with
the Lord, s;rlvlng to rcndcr to hliu
our homago and obcdlence, letuscloso
ly scrutinlzo every word, overy act ol
tho home llfo and sco to what cxtent
thcso can be itnprovcd unon and madc

people. we fecl sure, wlll be surpriscd
to know how tinjust they havo becn
toward those who aro of the vcry

with you. And St. 1'atil agrccs, say
ing, "Wc cannot do tho thlngs whlch
wo would." Tho Scrlpturcs ngaln
ngroo aud dcclaro "Thero Is nono
rlghtcous, uo, not ono. All liavo sln
ucd and couio short of tho glory of
Ood."
What shall wo do? Shall wo say
that becauso wo aro unablo to llvo up
to our own conceptlons and stand
ards of justlco wo wlll malto no at
tcmpt to do so, but abandon thoso
standards entlroly? God forbld. Wc
nrc wcalc cnough and imporfcct cnough
as lt ls. To Ignoro our bost Idcals of
justico wotild bo to takc off nll tho
brakcs aud ponnlt tho downward tend
cncles of our dcpravcd naturcs to go
rapidly from bad to worsc to carry us
further and furthor from God and tho
stnndnrds of character whlch ho ap
provcs. Wc can surcly be contcnt to
do nothlng lcss than our vcry bcst to
llvo up to our own ldcals and to raiso
thoso idcals ns ncarly ns posslblo to
the Dlvine staudard.
What Would Be the Uso?
Supposo we do our vcry bcst dally
to mcasuro up to our blghest coucep
tions of our God-glveu idcals and
standards, would God acccpt of thls
and count us worthy of hls favor and
of ctcrnnl llfo? Surcly not. Thc Law
of the Lord is perfect. Justice is
Justice. Not the hearcr of n law, uot
tho wcll-wishlng. recelvcs tho rcward,
but the doer, tho obediont! Ilcre, thcn,
wo flnd ourselves ln dilHculty. With
our hcarts, our mluds, wo approvo
God's Law and deslro to bo obedlent
to hiin, but llnd, as St. Paul says, that
many thlngs wc wlsh to do wo fall
to accompllsh; and mauy of tho thlngs
wo do not wish to do wo cannot avold.
"We cannot do the thlngs that we
would." We approvo tho exccllent de
mands of God's Law. We disapprovc
tho imperfectlons of our own flesh
Llko St. Paul, wo cry out. "O wretch-
cd mau that I anil who shall dellvcr
me from thls dead body?" thls body
that ls imporfcct through lnhcritcd
sln and wcaknesses. With our mlnds
wo scrvo God's Law and approvo it;
but with our bodies we come short.
What is our hope? Ilow shall we be
delivcred? Can we prevall upon God
to chango tho reasonable requlrcment
of our text so that it shall read, What
doth God require of me but to will
justly and do Iraperfcctly? We can
not hope for such n chango lu the
Dlvine Law. Arc we thou hopclcss as
respects Dlvlno approval and eterual
llfe? (Romans vil. 17-2-1.)
The Gift of God Is Etcrnal Llfe.
Iu our momcnt of perploxity we
hear God's messago "speaking pence
through Jesus Chrlst our Lord." The
message of peace ls that what we
could not do for ourselves ln the way
of liftiug ourselves up to Dlvine ap
proval God has provided shall bo done
for us through our Lord Jesus Chrlst.
Our fallure to koep the Law niarks us
as unworthy of eterual llfe, aud
worthy of tho wages of sln not eter
ual tormenl. but death. God ln mercy
concludcd to offer us etcrnal llfe as a
glfl because of our not actually nierlb
lng it under his legal requirements.
Thus wo read, "The wages of sln Is
death; but the glft of God is etcrnal
llfo through Jesus Chrlst our Lord"
(Romans vl. 23). What we could not
obtain legally under the Dlvlno re
quirements God proffcrs to us as a
gift. But tho gift is a condltional ono
as expressed ln tho words, "through
Jesus Chrl.n our Lord." Only those
who accept Jesus Chrlst as "the Way,
the Truth, and tho Llfo" mny have
God's gift of etcrnal llfo. Ilcnee it
wlll bo sccn that lt ls wholly a mistake
to supposc that thc hcathcu at home
or abroad can get etcrnal llfe, tho glft
3f God, in lgnorance of Chrlst. All the
Scriptures conflrm thls nnd declaro uot
ouly that we cannot savo ourselves by
obedicuce to the terms of God's Law,
but that "thero ls none other namo un
der heaven givcn among men, whereby
we must be saved" through falth iu
hls nnme through falth ln hls blood
(Acts iv. 12).
But how Is thls done justly? aud,
why does God so llmlt hls glft of eter
nal llfe?
God's Law rcpresents hlinsclf and
canuot chango. lle cannot requlre lcss
than perfectlon. To do so would be to
flll the Unlverso to all ctcrnity with
dcpravcd and imperfcet belngs. God
has a hlghcr plan than thls and dt
clares, "As the heavens ure hlgher than
the carth, so aro my ways hlgher than
your ways" (Isaiah lv, 0). Ue cxplaliu
that hls ulthnate purpose ls that thero
shall bo n , imperfect creaturc ln all
hls TJnlveriK All whose hcarts a:
loyal to h-;u and tho princlples of hls
govcrnment shall be pcrfcctcd, and nll
others shall be dcstroycd in tho Sccond
Death. Thus, eventually, evcry kneo
shall bow and every tongue confcss to'
the glory of God. Then every crcature
whlch ls Iu hcavcn, nnd on thc carth,
and under tho carth, shall bo hcard
snylng, Blcsslng, and honor and glory
and powcr bo uuto hlm that slttcth
upon tbo throne, aud uuto tho Lamb
forever (novelatlon v, 13).
You Are Bought With a Prlce.
Posslbly God could have nrrangod
somo other wny of deallng with sln
nnd slnners whlch would not havo ro-
quircd tho death of Jesus ns tho Itan
som prlce, tho purchase prlce, tho ro

fnct that tlils mcthod wns ndoptcd by
our great Crcator nssurcs us that no
Dther mcthod would havo becn so

Love Mercy and Walk Humbly.
It may astonlsh somo that God re

eflt aud for tho good of nll, that Uod
requlres that all who wlll have tho

How Much To Eat.
Occasionaliy, sayf. an exchange, vo
hear tho questlon "How much
should wc eat?" Yet as a rule, tho
averago per&on doca not troublc hlnv
self very much on that scorc and
cats what a pampcred appetlto de
mands rather than tho amount ho ac
tually nceds. Dietary speciallsts
havo found from many expcrlments
that an average man dolng avcrage
work requircs each day about four
and a half ounccs of porteid, two
ounces of fat and slxteen ounces of
carbohydrate. An average woman do
lng tho work ot an averago house-
keoper requlres n little lcss prob
tiiiiy about threo ounces of porteid,
ono and onc-half ounces of fat and
twolve ounces o carbohydrate. The
boy o fourtecn to slxteen years of
age requlres four-fifths as much food
as his fathcr, and tho boy or girl of
twelvo years should have half as
much food as an adult. Itecently
ccrtaln sepciallsts nave becn abla to
reduce the amount. of por.tcid stlll
'.owcr than the abovc standards which
are lcss tnan tr.oso glven ten or
twelvo years ago. But as long as tho

insufflcient mastlcation is common
in thc country it is not safe to redu'jy

The department of health of Chl
cago has rccently issue da bulletin on
"pneumonia wcather." "It is pneu
monla weather," lt says, "not be
causo of the cold or dampncss, but j
by reason of tho foolish thlngs Ir. j
causes epople to do." Some of the
things that it suggests to put an eud i
to pneumonia weather are thorougli
ventllatloii, thc avoidanco of crowd- j
ed and ill-ventllated cars, theatevs
and halls, especlally when one ls i
feeling languid, deprebaed or sick,
and l'requent bathing. lt declares !
that rooms that seem "stuffy" when I
entercd aro uusafo to remaln in; that
fresh alr In rooms means econom.v
In fuel for it is heated more easlly
than stale alr; that a temperature of
GS degrees Fahrenhelt Is moro heaUh- '
ful than hlgher if tho alr has suffl- '
clent molsture, nnd that one should
remomber that pneumonia, lntluenza
and other dlseases of tho respiratovy
organs aro "catchlng," hence precau
tlon should be taken when one niiist
como in contact with those who suf- i
fer from them. !
Our own and other departnients oi ,
health would do well to copy theso j
suggestions and puhllsh them hroad- i
east. For, after all, it must ho be-
llevcd that health and slckuess aro
lnrgely a matter of hablt; that, as the
Chlcago health department maintains,
"pneumonia weather" is caused moro
by what we do than by what tho
weather does. With Englishiuen the
tnsto for frcsh alr is natlonnl. lt
may bo superlnduced by tholr cllm
ate, whlch Is moderate, knowing, a3 a
rule, neither extrumes of heat nor
cold. But tho cllmato can hardly ex-
plaln lt all. Fresh alr in England is ,
more or less of a fashion. ,
But how to make healthful hablts
