THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. riATt'lUMr, UCTOUhll 17, 1W. “THAT YOUR JOY MIGHT BE FULL” Jno. IS: 11 By REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN, PASTOR NORTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH J OY Is the normal state of the Christian. It Is a fruit of the Spirit, and as we have said be fore, It Is quite Independent and supe rior to any mere natural cheerfulness. As a fruit of the Spirit. If It be want ing. Its lack Indicates an abnormal and unhealthy condition. It Is not God's Will that any Christian should lack Joy but Instead as He tells us In our text. He has done everythin* that Is needful and has said everythin* that Is needful that our Joy may be full. Moreover, the Joy that our heavenly Father would have us possess Is not only full, but permanent. In John 1«:23. Christ, In speaking to those who believe on Him, declares: "Your Joy no man taketh from you. In other words. He means to say that the Joy of a true Christian Is beyond the reach of any man to dis turb and Is Independent of any matter of circumstance or environment. Now. this can not be said of any other kind of Joy. All other Joys known to man are dependent. They arise out of cir cumstance and environment and must vary as their sources change. Thus the Joys of power, of riches, of honor, of friendship, the Joys of liberty, of labor, of love, arc ull dependent upon a man's own condition and upon his surround ings. It does not take much to disturb these Joys. In a very little while and hy a very little reverse In fortune it may come to pass that cheer Is changed to sorrow and the day of gladness to a night of grief and gloom. But tlila Is not so with the Christian's Joy: that Is, If he be a real Christian and If His Joy be the real Joy of God. The Joy of the Christian, according to God's plan, may be and should be con stant nml unabated, despite all of life's vicissitudes and losses. This was the case with Christ. He maintained His Joy throughout all His career of sorrow and His death of shame. It was the case with the apostles and with many of the early Christians, and It should be the case with us today. But though a full and constant Joy might and should he the. normal experience of us all. alas, for many this Is not the case. It was Alexander MacLaron who said: "The out and out Christian Is a Joyful one. The half and half Christian l« the kind t tlnued to grow- until It illumined his a . . ol you ar e—little ac- great, broad, manly face. We stopped qualnted with the Joy of the Lord." And and anked him why he was smiling. continuing, he asks: "Why should we ”' - live half way up the hill and swathed In mists when we might have an un- clouded »ky and a visible sun over our head* If we would climb higher an#: walk In the light of HI* face?". Now. that Is Juat the quentlon we want to ask today. Why. should we fall of this blessed plan of God which Is that our not as God meant It should be, not only may we be assured that some thing Is wrong, but a« well that this wrong may be righted, for God makea no plan for us that He will not enable us to attain. Let us then today see If we can not discover the sources of a Christian's Joy In order that we may climb up to them and experience their blessedness. If you will take your com mentary and consider the passages that bear upon Joy, I am sure you will he surprised, oven as we have been, to And in how many different ways this Joy may be experienced. We can not by any means note all of these, but let us consider a few. First: The Joy of Pardoned 8in. No matter what Joys we have known heretofore, when the load of sin at last rolls off from our heart and of fore boding concerning the past and future are banished by the sweet sense of God’s acceptance. Ihe Joy that we then possess Is Incomparably better than anything until then we have known. Some time ago a friend of ours who Is now a stitng and active Christian man, one Wednesday night at prayer meeting was moved to give himself to God. Until a brief lime before this when his heart had been touched, he had been a nian of decidedly evil ten dencies and had lived a life of open sin, but that night he had come Just as he was In acceptance of God's offer and had dedicated himself to a new' service. After the meeting of the session had adjourned we asked him to stay a while and talk, a* there were a number of things concerning which we wished to give him Information. As we were speaking to him we noticed that he began to smile and that the smile con- His answer was: "My! this is great Why, It Is the biggest thing I have'ever R otten Into." We assured him that e was right and that he would And It even bigger than he thought. As we went bn with our explanation he step ped us and said. "Look here, this thing Jias gotten hold of me stout," and he was indeed so happy that we soon saw It was no time for Instruction. His w'hole mind was absorbed with the glo- rioue fact of Ills forgiveness. The next time we saw him he said that that night he had scarcely been at*e to sleep at all, but lay awake and laughed with Joy. About 1 or 2 o’clock Ills wife said to him: "Tom. what Is the matter with you?" He *ald: "What is the matter? Why, I feel so happy I can not sleep.” It was the experience of 'a man who had turned square around and was con. hcIoun of forgiveness as he devoted himself ns heartily to the service of the Lord as he had been heartily de voted to the service of Hat An. It was of this Initial hour In the soul's conscious experience of God's savine grace that Uharll* Wesley , sang— "How happy are they who the Savior obey. And have laid up their treasures above! O. what tongue can express the sweet comfort and peace Of a soul In Its earliest love! O, rapturous height of that holy de light Which I felt In the life-giving blood! Of my Havlor possessed. I was perfect, ly blest. As If filled with the fulness of God." Some of you know from blessed ex perience all that these words signify, and some of you do not. and the rea son may be that you have never ex ercised a saving faith In Christ and s<*. of course, know nothfhg of a Chris tian’s Joy. But It is even possible that some of you who have exercised a sav ing faith In Christ do not find that your REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN. experience corresponds with this, and although you have a real trust in Him and are seeking faithfully to serve Him, yet you have never come to the point where you are willing really to take God at His word and rely upon HI* promise with such bold confidence a* that you have the assurance of fnlth. And It Is the assurance of faith that begets this Joy. Tho Joy of Winning 8ouls. If the Joy of our own conscious sal vation Is great, there Is even a greater Joy In the consciousness that we have been the means of another's salvation, for then we not only live over the blessed experience wo first knew when we came ourselves to the Savior, but there Is added to It the holy joy of sympathy and the exultation of victo rious service.

He twice declares "that there Is Joy In tho presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Alas! too many Christians are lack ing in Joy because when they come to Christ they do not. like Andrew and Philip, likewise seek to bring others to Him. I>r. Trumbull In Ids ’individual Work for Individuals," tell* how the manner of his own conversion Ini- i pressed upon him ids llko duty said: “I as an Individual had been won to Christ by an individual follower, a rep resentative of Christ, and I had been . taught that every individual follower 1 of Christ has a duty to make known to j other Individuals the duty of serving and representing Christ, and thus my I life mission was given me as a duty 1 when my life trust In Christ was shown j me as a privilege.” ■ His pre-eminently Joyous and sue ! cessful life was but the result of a faithful following out of this plan of God realized so early In his Christian experience. In a meeting once we were conducting we were struck by the absorbed ex pression on Ihe face of one of the au dience. She was a beautiful young woman who we learned afterward was distinguished for her social gifts. She u«* a member of the church but to her Pitch membership had meant very lit tle. During the meeting she became profoundly Impressed. We could see her face kindle day after day until one day she came to us after the service and told us Uhout some friends of hers concerning whom she had become deep ly Interested, and for whom she asked us to pray. Next evening she was In her place and her friends were with her. One of these she seemed partic ularly anxious to help, and after the invitation was given at the close of the morning, I saw her turn nnd speak to this one, evidently urging her to accept Christ. Her prayer and effort were not in vain. Her frleml came UNIVER8ALI8T. FIRST UNI VERBALIST * CHURCH—Cor ner Peachtree and B. Harris. Rev. E. D. Ellen wood, pastor. Residence. 40 E. Har ris.

In the sixth chapter of “Recollections of a Long Life,” tells how, after his graduation at Princeton, when he was strongly In -•lined lo enter law, he was Invited to a cottage prayer meeting In Ludlowvllle, In which he took part, speaking only for n few moments. After the meeting was over more than one came to him and eald. "Your talk did me good." And he tella us how, "On my way home drove along In my sleigh, the thought flashed Into my mind. If ten minutes' talk today helped a few souls, why not preach all the time?" It waa hla flrat taste of tho Joy of winning aoula thnt dqrlded him to enter a ministry where in for a long life he has known Increas ingly the blessedness of such an effort Tht Joy of Full Surrender. The Joy of full surrender should be a Joy known tn every child of Ood, for nothing 1s more unreasonable than that we do not yield ourselves utterly up to Him In whom we claim to trust, and nothing Is more sure to bring us rest lessness and grief jhan a hesitancy so to do, and yet, strange an It may be, If we may take the confession of many ns Indicating the atate of many more this Joy of full surrender Is an unknown experience to a large number of even those who arc active In the service of God. Most of the friction and the waste of effort and of time that accompanies f’hrlstlan service Is due to a failure to yield ourselves utterly up to God's plan. Wo were assisting In a protracted serv ice In another state and the minister brought to us one afternoon a young woman with whom he asked us to speak, and In Introducing her he told us that she was afraid to give h-rseif up to God and to yield her will to His lest she might hava to go as a mission ary. Turning to her, we asked If she did not think her fear very unreason able. "Why." we continued, "It would be the height of folly for God to send such a person as you art to represent Him at the front. You are not fit to he a missionary. You have nothing to tell. You have no Joy. You have nothing In your experience to enable you to per suade those who know not God to seek Him, or to cause them to desire to know anything about Him, and certain ly." we told her. “unless there Is a radl - cal change In you and In your attitude your fear In unreasonable. If God wants you to go as a missionary He will have to do such a glorious work of grace for you that It will be worth your while In order for this to do anything or suf fer anything that He might require." And then we tried to show her how- unfair It was to God tn doubt Him. and how well assured she might be of peace and Joy that could only be found through a full surrender. After a pray er we left her. That night, when the Invitation wnn given at tho end of the sermon, almost the first one to start to ward the front was this young woman, nnd as wo saw her coming from almost tho rear of the church nnd went for ward to extend our hand there was no question nhout what had happened— her fare was radiant. As she reached us, with a smile ns joyous as a sun beam. she said, "It U all right. God can have His way with me now.” I want to say concerning her that Go.l has made a missionary of liar, and a very faithful one. hut she rejoices now In the privilege of doing that which formerly she feared. My dear friend, do yau know any thing of this Joy of full surrender? If not. In God's name tre beseech you la yield yourself to Hint and let Him prove to you and through you how wonderful Is His power and how glorious Is His plan for those who will give Him . chance to show them what He can do.

The deputation of the American board which has lately returned from an investigation of nearly a year's du ration. of conditions In China, report Of all the burdens which the spirit of man Is called upon to bear, Is any quite so heavy as the burden of an empty life? Not to be needed—not to have work to do—no{ to have per plexities except the mlaerable cares which pertain to email selflshness— this Indeed Is a hard lot. Tet we often hear persons pining for leas tn do; they think that If they could escape labors and responsibilities they would be hap py. A crowded life Is a boon to be coveted; nn empty life Is a fate to be shunned. Duty Is the grub that la transformed Into the butterfly of delight. Duties are pressing nn me. And the time for work Is brief; What If with purblind vision I neglect the very chief? What If I do with ardor What a thousand could, maybe, And leave untlone forever What was meant for only me? From that. O Master, save me! Move my hand, thought, voice and pen. To their peculiar service In this world of needy men! And oh! whatever labors Are not finished with my day. Let them be for self—for others Grant the doing. Lord. I pray! —Charlotte Flake Bates A person Is called Into the world for twn^treat purposes: to live hla own Ufa and to do hie own duty. For these, everything else should be made to stand aside. Faith is man’s salvation for the life to come; but work Is Ills salvation Yor the life that now Is. hatevrr he cun do he oughi to do. Growth la achieved by ever attempting larger things. The person who “settlea down" for life Into a comfortable routine, without any thought of development or E rngress. simply atrophies his dlvlnely- estow-ed powers. Doing one's duty Is an expanding process. Each duty becomes larger, or better done, than Its predecessor. Thus the soul mounts to a nobler estate. The Increasing dlflleuliy of one's tanka con tributes, as nothing else can do, to the Increase of one's powers. The harder the lot the hardier the life. By the use we make of today God Judges -vhat kind of tomorrow we are fitted to employ. Like the Lillputlan threads that bound Gulliver, repeated procrastina tions and Indolences Anally hold the life In thrall. For the sake of our own freedom, we dare not yield to the day’s baser Inclination*. Each day's duty has a relation, not only to that day, but also to all the future. The camel, at the eloae of day. Kneels down upon the sandy plain. To have his burden lifted off. And rest to gain. When daylight drawetb to a close, Master lift thy load, repose. Else how could thou tomorrow meet. With all tomorrow's work to do. If thou thy burden all the night Dost carry, through? The camel kneels at break of day To have hla guide replace hla load. Then rises up anew to take The desert road. flo thou shouldst kneel at morning's dawn. That God may give thee daily care. Assured that He no load too great Will make thee bear. —Anon. Week-day dutlea are as sacred as Sabbath devotions. All worship and no work would as truly distort a charac ter aa all work and no worship, By the example and precept of the Cre ator. we know that there should be six days of faithful labor for every d»v of Sabbath rest. It Is Inconceivable that the Great Judge should pass bv Ihe dally duties which All the lives of men and women and Inspect only ihe specifically "religious" phase of activity anil rhameter. By the work we do to day wo shall be Judged at fhe Judgment ■*ny. My duty Is my own. God’a peculiar gift to ma alone. No one else can de termine It for me, or do It In my stead. Upon me Ood depends for the faithful doing of this bit of His great work. If 1 fall him, Hla plana are hindered. So my dally duty Is sacred. By If I know God's thought for me. When He give* me a hard duty. I exult In the conlt- dence that He repoaes In ma. When duties are easy, I wonder If I am wan ing In fidelity. But In every duty I find delight; It Is mine. mine, mine!—God’s gift to me, my gift to Hla work, and my opportunity to sound my peculiar note in the great symphony of the uni verse. strongly against the practice of Inter ference In civil cases. In behalf of their converts, by missionaries. The various churches. Including the Roman < 'athollcs. are taking active measures to establish churches or spe cial religious work In college towns, especially to care for the students. Father James F. Winter has thus been appointed Catholic chaplain of Cornell University. 8EVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.— 'onfuclus.
