Commencement Sermon by Dr.
A. A. Lipscomb.
Marietta, Ga., )
July 23,1871. )
Editors Sun: The Commenoe-
ment Exercises of the Marietta Fe
male College were inaugurated this
morning with a masterly Bermon by
that truly wonderful man, Dr. A. A.
Lipscomb, Chancellor of the State
University. His reputation as an el
oquent divine had preceded him, for
tho Presbyterian Church was filled to
overflowing at an early hour. For
the last throe years we have been a
rapt hearer of his many lectures on
the “Life and character of Christ,”
and many sermons beside, and wo
must say that these, together with tho
sermon of to-day, compel us to pro
nounce him unsurpassed as a Chris
tian Philosopher and Bible Commen
tator ; and in eloquence, we find his
compeer only in the mighty Paul of
Tursns.
Theological questions too profound
for the wisdom of connoisseurs he
often toys with as if it were an im
agery ; in fields unknown and barren
to the genius of Clarke, he wanders
only to gather a thousand gems of
thought, and sometimes while pro
claiming tho gracious goodness of his
Lord his heart and soul are kindled
with an inspiration that makes his
face radiant with the joy within, and
sustains him in flights of eloquence
where none but Spurgeon ever dared
to soar. .
The following very imperfect syn
opsis we hope may servo to convey an
idea of his profound research in
Scriptural lore, and his acquaintance
with Christ and his teachings, that
almost approaches familiarity.
Text: And because I tell you the
truth ye believe vie not.—John, viil,
45. . .
No child ever asked why it should
speak the truth. No man ever de
buted in his consciousness wheth
er the obligations of truth or tho in
terests of falsehood were the sam&
And this is not surprising—truth is
instinctive. I speak not of animal
instincts, but of mtcllectual instincts
which arc variable, and are amenable
to age, circumstances and culture.
The highest forms of intellectual
truths arc to be found in the exer
cise of self-denial. There is nothing
so heroic as manly, straightforward
truthfulness when the feelings are in
tho ascendency. If you desire to
test a human mind, you must tempt
its feelings. There are many men
who would rather die than violate
tho truth, but who, in moments of
excitement, of prejudices, of pas
sions wild as romance, pay no regard
to the highest typo of truths—the
truths of feeling.
Our Lord recognized this. The
great barrier in the way of his recog
nition as the Son of Ood, was not the
want of evidence—of token—of his
divinity, but because tho light was so
bright they closed their eyes against
it Blinded, they dreaded Hin, and
commenced to oppose Him, until op-
position became hostility, and these
found their consummation in tnc
spears of Roman cento Hons and the
agonizing nails of tho Cross.
I purpose to discuss the method
adopted by our Redeemer to unfold
ship-
sUnotions will be resvted oat
Qenml Pleasanton states that Mb de-
to His countrymen. Wo should know
tho light under which it was pub
lished; for the light in which a pic
ture is viewed is often as imjiortant
as the piceure itself.
First among these conditions is :
The personal intensity of His own
consciousness that He was the Son of
God. I believe that His many mira
cles, nis eloquence, the flashing ent-
f ihasis of His eye, the splendor of His
ife—were alljaubordiuated to the con
sciousness that He was the Son of
God. Of all men, Ho was the only
ono that ever rnado His own con
sciousness the standard of His ideas
of judgment in reverence and fear.—
Tho peculiar feature of Jesus’ life
was that, Ho insisted that His own
consciousness of the Godhead ought
to dictate faith to the world. There
are three or four characteristics of
this consciousness.
1. Its earlincss. It was not the pro
duct of experience. Neither His
mother, nor brethren, nor education
gave it to Him. It was His own ;
aud it was strong in His boyhood,
even in His eleventh year. A boy’s
consciousness is of to-morrow’s play
and of present joys. That of Christ
is His immortal divinity.
2. It was constant It had no va
riation. Though put to the test, it
was constant and uppermost in all
conditions and moods of his mind.
It was the same when sleeping on his
mother’s heart; the same when wun-
dering amid the solitude of Galilee;
the same when worldly friends tried
to mislead him, the same when ac
cepted or rejected.
3. Its endurance. It was the same
in trials aud tribulations as in peace
and rest, and the Bame amid the soofls
of the populace as the tranquillity of
the solitudes. It was evorlasting.
I further propose to show that the
Redeemer placed Himself in such a
position that ho might be judged
aright Feeling, to be intense, must
be circumscribed; aud the reason
that faith in the 19th century has
weakened, is because the world is
larger in thought aud civilization,
and therefore the difficulty of believ
ing anything intensely. The Savior
foresaw this and determined—
1. To refuse all worldly entangle
ments, the touching family tics and
the sweet endearments of home. He
rejected them all or nut them in
abeyance. How dared Ho do it ? Are
they not divine ?—the tears of chil
dren, the love of friends from whom
I catch the glow of inspiration that
nerves me in the hour of conflict ?
Yet Jesus dispensed with them all,—
abnegated their connections, divorced
His heart from all these'ties.' Were
He only a man, Ho would have hod no
right to take this course; but being a
God, He was just, and did it. He did
His duty alone; did it in his owu
consciousness—in His own transcen
dent glory as the image of the hidden
God.
2. To make no appeal to the imagi
nation and as little as possible to the
senses of His countrymen. Notico
the difficulty in getting St. Peter to
throw off the seuses and accopt the
living faith. While Ho was a Christ
to their senses He could not be a
Christ to their faith.
A man must die to be appreciated.
Our dearest friend must depart before
we know how dear he was. So of to
day when tho morrow has come; so
of my childhood, as 1 sec it in the far
off wake of memory. We must
retire to the quiot and sanctity of iso
lated solitudes to realize tno true
of the orator. Therefore our
•Saviorsaid: “It is expedient for you
that I go away.”
We of the 19th century can get a
better idea of Him than those of His
own day. I would rather have these
four histories than to have seen Him
walking the midnight sea. I would
rather see my children filled with the
love and worship of His holy name
than to see them lying on His breast
hushed to sleep with Ills divine cares-
s.
The groat aim of the Savior was to
separate Himself from the imagina
tion and senses of men, because Ho
knew He was a most fruitful theme
of the faucies of men, aud nothiug
is so fatal as the imagination where
the affections ore engaged. Then ob
serve. Born in a manger; reared in
the stormy hills of Galilee, without
any connection with tho metropolitan
splendor of Jerusalem; torn from all
romance; “ despised and rejected of
men;” a man of sorrow and ac
quainted with grief.” I’oorl not a
Lazarus as poor as poor as Ho. Be
low human poverty. Ho did not say,
“ I am as poor as Lazarus, but “ The
foxes have holes, the birds of the air
have nests, but the Son of Man hath
not where to lay nis head;”—thus
stripping himself of everything that
we might behold the bare sublimity
of His Godliness. The summer pomp
and summer foliage conceal the splen
dor of the mighty oak. Its ribbed
might, its “ hoart of centuries,” arc
seen only in the bare, bleak anatomy
of winter. So with Jesus; tho effer
vescence was removed that wo might
see tho naked sublimity of His di
vinity.
If a census of the crimes, the pov
erty, the outcasts, lepers, widows,
Maiys and Marthas, h.vd been taken
at His birth, and another at His
death, what a change it would have
shown! Jesus the benefactor, the
friend, the philanthropist, the reform
er—a* a preparation for Jesus the
Bcdoemer. And the change did come.
The Transfiguration on the cross was
scarcely greater than that on earth.
There was not a mother that could
not sing a diviner lullaby over ner
sleeping child; not a friend that co n Id
not goto a grave with a sweeter ’
to‘1.8 countrymen His Divine Son- aotgo to a grave iwith a sweeter>v; ,
Let ns look at the condition und« Uf t/ touretold i
which the doctrines were announced i His inspiration. But twe was only i
the dim morning before tho noon-day
splendor of his everlusting mercy.
He said in substance: “1 see my
countrymen misunderstood me. They
would mako me u king because they
admired mo. I do not wish to be ud-
mired. Any man would rather have
the love of a dog than the admira
tion of an Archangel. I do not wish
them to seivo me as Christ tho pro
phet, the raiser of the dead, the bene
factor. I intend to be the Christ of
their hearts and faiths. Therefore I
must go away. I will becom • tho
Christ of the sinner’s sorrow ana the
sinner’s guilt So long as 1 was your
physician and benefactor, ye believed
me; but when I tollyou I am the Son
of God, because I tell vou the truth
ye believe me not. (All I saddest of
all words!) I am tho Christ of vour
wretchedness, gin and sorrow. You
believed me before. Now when 1 tell
you the final truth, yet will not bc-
liove me.”
As four years ago I stood before
St Peters at Rome, I noted the vast
corridors surrounding this stately
pile, shutting it out from tho worm.
Why this waste of outside gorgeons-
ness ? I knew tlmt there were tho
Alban hills in their terraced beauty,
that yonder was the waving Cani-
pagna, and here the rolling Tiber.
Why were not these tho outward orna
ments of this pile of an excavated
Alp? But no! Angelo had de
termined that we should see St. Pe
ters and nothing else. “My work
alone! I'll bind yon to St. Peters!"
So did Jesus. Dropping .this; re
tiring from that; weaning Himself
even from Mary’s tendorness, from
home nnd friends; asking no more
an audience in the temple; Becking
no more the multitudes on the
mountains, he commenced talking,
conversing. He was too great to lie
an orator, too sublimo to be eloquent.
He must ta lk. Take His conversations
and addresses, and the wondor is Ho
could talk to them as if the universe
had been present. Tho orator needs the
multitude nnd their aromatic praise
to inspire him. Tho single heart of
the woman of Samaria was to Jesus a
myriad of hearers.
Oh! the infant Savior, the Re
deemer, the Savior of sinners, the
child of Mary, the Son of God! Can
I not believe m Him, my Lord and
my God.”
And thus closed this grand ser
mon. The groat leading thought
and doctrine advanced was, that, in
our religion there is nothing abso
lutely but Christ. Dr. Lovick Pierce
preaches to-night. The examination
of the Sophomore class takes plaoe
to-morrow, And Sophomore reading in
the evening. More Anon.

TRAINING CHILDREN.
Text—Eph. 8:4—Bring them up in the
nurture and admonition if the Lord.
“Nurture” is that which produces
growth. God has provided Truth in all
its doctrinal and preooptivo elaborations
as mental aud spiritual pabulum.
Admonition” is the gentle reproof
which restrains from siD.
1. Tho character of tho man and wo
man is formed in tho little boy nud girl.
Tito tree receives its form when a twig
only six inched high. Too great care
eaunot bo taken in this tender formutivo
state, to givo right direction to the prin
ciples whioh moke ap the life.
2. Religious parents give thoir children
to God. Tho faithful feel they can do
nothing so appropriate astooommit thoir
children to the guidonoo and keeping of
their gracious Father.
Some, alas, educate them only for
time—only for this world, only for socie
ty. They are endued with intellectual
culture, polished manners, agreoablo and
fascinating preseneo, but are without
hope and without God.
3. Children should bo trained for tho
serrice of God, so that when, by His
grace Ho calls them, they may not bo no
vices, as too many Church menthol s now
are. “More labor should be bestowed

HOW WE ARE RtanTLT TO TRAIN OUR CHILD
REN.
1. Parents are God’s appointed and
commissioned teachers for this purpose.
As such, thoy must qualify themselves for
this most important work. We mast not
entrust tho intellectual training of onr
children to those who will not teach them
properly. How important that those
who teach tho soul should bo thoroughly
prepared. This preparation consist* in
a pious, praying heart and an intimate
acquaintance with the word of God.—
We should enjoy frequent oonverse with
the Master in the closot snd in the snored
revelation. Being ourselves prepared,
we are to teach:
1. % Knanpte. We must be what we
would have our children to be, and we
must do only what we are willing for
them to do. Our live* are tho moulds in
whioh their characters are east.
2. By I’reccpt. God oommanded Abra
ham to teach His doctrines to his child
ren when he sat in hss boose, when ho
walked in the way, when ho lay down,
and when lie roso up. Hannah taught
her little Samuel with great care, and
Timothy know the Scripture* from a
child. Religion should be themes of fre
quent convt nation in every family.
4. The services of the Sanctuary. Parents
onght to carry their children to Church,
so soon as thoy con be mode to have
with propriety. It is a good habit to
form'. In after yean they will not do as
many professed Christian* now do—re
main at home from eome frivolous ex-
caae—but will feel it a real affliction to
be deprived of Ibis principle.
Remark* in tbs family, explanatory of
tbe Mrtnoa, are of great value.

CONCLUSION.
1. If we, under any pretense, purpose
ly deceive our children, they will soon
learn to conceive their own hypocrisy by
falsehood.
2. If we grow woory in woll-doing, and
in a moment of iupatienoe send them
away “to get rid of them,” wo thereby
turn thorn over to influences under which
their ruin immediately begin.
3. If we continue, amid the discourage
mento of every day and every hour, by
positive, hut loving snd patient restraints,
aud by Scriptural and reasonable enoour-
ngemunta to virtue and to truth, we will,
by tho divine blessing, suoceed, and reap
tho reward here and hereafter.
FIRST ntEsnVTERIAN OHUBOH—«*EV. JOHN B.
WILSON, D. D.
Text—“There are three that hear record in
Heaven, the Father, the Word and the
Holy (Jhost, and these litres are One."
—1st John, 5, 7.
No man has ever pretended to explain
this doctrine of tho Trinity—the corner
stouo of Christianity, and henoe many
have disbelieved. It has long been a dis
pute in tho Theological world whether
tho words of the text are anthentio, they
being not found in some old oopies. But
there is os mnoh reason to believe the
text to be anthentio as not, and that the
Ariana and Unitarians were es likely to
exclude these words as the Trinitarian*
wore to interpolate them. And the doc
trine is taught in Scripture even without
the text. 1st. Who are they that
boor record in Heaven 7 I answer there
is but one God. The oontrary of this
would at once show to every mind the
impossibility of there being three co
equal in one.
2d. That though there is but one God,
there ore three distinct persons in one,
end tho s&mo andivided essenoe. Bap
tism is to be administered not in the name
of ono God, bnt in the name of tbe Fa
ther, Son and Holy Ghost, and no other
baptism is valid. The Father sleets, the
Son atonos, and the Spirit sanctifies.—
The whole mystery is comprised by Pe
ter, when he says, " eleet by the lather
through sanctuloation of the Spirit,
through tho blood of Christ.’’
3d. Each of these porsons is God with
out any difference or inequality. The
f odbood of the Father is nndispnted,
at lot us see the godhood of the Son
and Spirit. In John, Christ is spoken of
thus: “la the beginning was the Word,
and the Word wm with God, and the
Word was God.”
Is tho Father eternal, oaniaoieut, al
mighty? So is the Son. The eternity of
Christ is tanght in the prophecy of
Mioah and so of the Spirit.
So wo oonolude that the three are
from all eternity nnd possessed of equal
power and knowledge. The merit by
whioh we are to be justified, is treasured
up in Christ This way or salvation is
open to every man that trill accept, bnt
this being rejected there remains no
other way. When wo look at th* origi
nal holy stato of nun, we msty ask how
could man be restored. When the an
gels wore cast down in the pit of despair
for sinning, it might well have been
asked bow wo* man to bo saved ?
In what manner does eaoh of tho three
persons bear witness?
1st. The Father has home witness to
tho Son three times by an aodiblo voice
from licavou.
First, At tbe Baptism.
Second, At tho Transfiguration.
Third, Just before the crucifixion where
Christ addressed tbe Father, and said,
Father, glorify thy name; and tho Father
■mid, “I have b oth glorified it, and will
glorify it ugain.”
2d. Christ boro witness in Himself by
claiming to be God; and the Holy Spirit
boro witness when it deaoendod like ■
dove, and in the cloven tongnes of fire.
In the heart of overy oonverted soul the
Spirit beoreth witness.
Tbe Divinity of Christ is a fundamen
tal article of our religion. If Jesus is
not God Almighty, then our religion is a
rope of sand. Those who believe that
Jesus Christ is God, and those who be-
lievo Hu is only man, profess entirely
different religious.
Tho divinity of Jesus Christ is not s
mere speculation, but a great faei Can
any one explain the onion of our body
with the soul and spirit; and yet this
unity is not a speculative truth; and so
of the mysterious unity of Father, Bon
and Hpirit. If, as tho Unitarians main
tain, Christ is not God, then we are all
gnilty of idolatry.
3d. Tlte divinity of Jesus Christ is a
controverted point. The denomination
known os Oampbellites deny the divinity
of Jesus, nnd henoe onr General Assem
bly hss prohibited communion with them.
If Jesus is not God, then Ho oannot
savo us, for God alone aan deliver. The
conversion of the sinner is a new crea
tion, and who can create but God ? The
convention of tho sinner is represented
ss raising from the dead, and who oan
raise tho dead but God? Taking all
thoso promises together, this great oor-
ncr-atono — truth of Christianity—the
three fold nature of tho godhead is man
ifest.
