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. Reported SpocUUy lor the AtUuU Daily Blk. Sunday Pulpit Review. FIRST B.tmsT CHURCH—REV. K. W. WA1 REN—l’ASTOB. 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 on tho mind than ou tho body; more on the heart than on the mind, more in pre paring for Eternity than for Time.” Ev ery child is a diamond upon which tho parent is inscribing sentences for the Judgment. May wo notjbo ashamed of onr work in that hour which brings all things to light. 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. ■ aura SCHOOLS. a. men mid women the young up ou tho “Words and Mind of Jesus. ’’ Every child, rioh and poor, from the house of prayer, and from the borne of tho ungodly, ought to be regularly in School. Sunday I 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. iilisfcllatuone.
