14 s.MiniMV ji nk ir*«. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. THE WORD MADE FLESH By REV. DR. JAMES W. LEE, Pastor Trinity Methodist Church u: birth of Chrtat marked the pronla* made before the worlds beginning of the fulfilment of a framed. Toward thla moment, < had been shaping themaelvea le-glnnlng. The divine pur- >aa to continue Its upward muve- !. now, entering the circle of atural law* of man. Above and it, It had been at work since the ranee of the first man on earth, lining, training, stimulating, re in*, but now It waa to enter the life of man, and to identify II- rlth the fortunes of the human rt taking the form of ilesh, and ng In It. It was a great and time, for It waa the trying period Il.'h everything waa seeming to . and yet everything waa about reborn. It was the proclamation doom of the old order anti of the dam, and the living, breathing, rrlng commencement of the new the new man and a new aeeetea nan beings. A fresh and heautl- d divine edition of humanity was Issued. The literature of heaven > be translated Into the language th. The Infinite waa to lie do- ated In terms of the finite. The ity was taking the form of weak- Tlie Illimitable was coming with- Ite. The glory that encomiiasaed anger converting a fraction of night Into the beginning of perfect day, waa but She glow which (famed from the entrance of the Son of Right- eooeneM Into the atmosphere and limi tations of time and aenae. The patient and long-suffering and loving Gml, omniscient, omnipotent and eternal. wna entering the sln-cur.ed, diseased and wretched territory of humanity through the cradle. The church has done well to emphasize the surrlflre of the Hon on the cross, but many have overlooked the sacrifice of Che Hon In entering humanity through the man ger. Tha whole movement of God In < hrlst was a seH-llmltatlon—a sarrl- slon from the Mount of Olives, flee, a self-emptying, from the birth of the Savior In Bethlehem to His uaren- W'i' have dwelt so much on the fart that t'hriat died .for us that w# have almost been In danger of forgetting that He was born for us, was a child In ills mother's arms for us, was a boy questioning the doctors In tha temple for us. W'e think of His death aa vicarious, when. In fact, the whole pro gram Ood purposed In fhrlst to work out and complete was vicarious. He wrought with His hands In Jossph's workshop for us. tie was baptised In the Jordan for us. He discoursed with the Hamarttan woman at Jarob's well for us. He delivered the first sermon in Nazareth for us. He attended the wedldiut IB I 'nna of Galilee, and by His presence lent to It color and Infinite attractiveness for us. He saw the lilies and admired their beauty for us. He took dinner with Zaccheus in Jeri cho for us. Everything He did, every worrl He uttered, every prayer He breathed was for us. The birth was the beginning of a process that ended In Its earthly and temporal aspects with the ascension. It Is true that Christ was crucified only once, but In leaving His home at the right hand of the Father and coming Into the narrow realm of our guilty Imprisoned life He had the spirit of crucifixion. 8t. Paul said of himself a* the disciple of Ida f,ord: "I am crucified w|th Christ; I die dally.” It was on Calvary that our lord finished Ills work. Hut all the stages which led op to this crown ing point of His sufferings, were con tributory to the general work of the atonement. There Is not a single square Inch of the entire surface of life that the re conciling work of Christ, from the cra dle to the cross, does not touch. Whsn Christ assumed human life He took upon Him the whole reach and sweep of It. He assumed It In Ita domestic aspects, Its business aspects. Its polit ical aspects. Us Intellectual and es thetic aspects. Christ Is to be the Ha- vlor and companion of the man at play, as well as of the man on tils dying bed. He sanctifies birth and crowns old age with the glorious hope of immortality. He la not simply re- REV. DR. JAME8 W. LEE. lated to men aa a sinner. He Is also related to him In all the relations and work and'studies of his multitudinous being. He does not' simply Inspire loved ones to carve on his tomb the symbol of victory, but Ho teaches par ent* to dll the nuraery with the bright ness and good cheer of Joyous life. Christ Is not only the Loyd of the night, and the conqueror of the storm; nnd the physician of the sln-alck soul. He Is also the Master of all day, and the pilot oh the calm Sea. and the guide of robust manhood. He la not only to be found at the railway collision where men ore mangled and bleeding and dy ing, but also In the rushing, thundering market-place, where men trade, ex change the greetings of health and contend for the prizes of fortune. Christ came not to repress human en ergy. or to discount human aspiration, but to quicken and enlarge and In spire and guide both to divine uses. He brought no ucrusatlon against the world He had made, but only con demnation for the perveralon of It, and the haze appropriation of It by the perishing, earthy nature. He was no friend cf the Indolence that Is content to live In rags, but sought to quick en the faculties which have gradually converted all the resources of nature Into human uses. Sskya Slant, the Buddha, taught his disciples that everything on earth was fleeting, hol low, delusive—that life Ithelf with Its feelings, desires, passions, was all vain, empty and deceitful; that the only hope left poor, wretched human beings was to cut every tic which held them to the relatione of time. Thus the Hindu teacher would solve the problem of existence by giving up every use to which life could be put. He would sit flat under the Bo-tree until he evap orated Into thin air, the thin* nearest like Ills Nirvana of all we know. The doctrine Christ lived and taught was as unlike that of the Buddha as day is unlike night. Christ came voluntarily Into Ufa and .magnified It and Illus trated what could be made of It, not by fieeTng from It, but by living It from the right motive, and with the right aim. While the world to which He came, at he time of Hia birth, waa a wilderness, of disorder and confusion, He proposed to Introduce order and make the' whole planet bloom with more of beauty than Eden ever did. There was not but one thing In all the world He opposed, and that was sin, which consisted of the subordination of the higher nature of man to the lower. In order that He might work a revolution and Introduce into this outlying patch of His Father’s vast estate the cuatoms of heaven. He sim ply called upon meh to believe In Him, become Hia disciples and live His life. Christ did not come to show men how to shuffle off the mortal coll, but how to keep It on aa long as possible and make It servo the eternal alma of God. An old Methodist preacher called to see my mother. She called me and sold: “My son. that Is the man who baptized you.” Then tha saintly old brother put his hand on my head nnd naked: "My son, are you get, rsady to dler i was alinuedf an* felt hia was the heaviest hand that had ever rested on my head, and whet he removed It I waa greatly relieved I remember the preacher's name from that elide Incident. I have always felt that he made a mistake, it would have b erf much more appropriate had ho osked me If I was going to school and reading good books and getting ready to live a useful and upright life The emphasis that has been placed upon preparation for death, the last Judgment, and the happiness or mis. ery of the next world has led a good many people to fall Into the rough and ready op'nion that the Christian re ligion is not mainly for thla world but almost entirely for the next As *'• study the Incarnation, we should learn the lesson that, coming aa a babe Christ's mission waa to regenerate and renew and enrich the life that now is from tha cradle to the grave, if pure and strong and good through the grace which He gives on earth, we will as surely go th heaven after death ns the balloon ascends Into the iky when the corde which tie It to tho ground are cut. Golden Tezt—Thou art tha Christ, as stewards they have access. The tHs Son of tha livinfl God.—Matt t6 :16. DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE. T HIS Incident In the life of Christ occurred soon after our hist les- __ son Jn the autumn of A. I). 29, about six months before His crucifixion, fiene -the base of Mt. Itermon, In the fcglon of Cesarea Philippi. Philip, the ti'imrrh. embellished the town and called It nfter himself to distinguish It front the one on the sea coast called gfter his father, where l’aul was Im prisoned. Hero Herod the Great set up a temple In which divine honors were paid to his master Augustus. "It Is very striking Hint the first clear ctm- fi salon of Christ's divine aonshlp was made near the shrine In which men worshipped a follow man ns God. These were the two religions that were sh.utly to contest the world, the inar- bla temple covering the bust of an etn- pvi Its group of exiles round the loader whom Ills own people had re jected."—Adam Hmllh. l.uke Dim tells us that only Ills disciples were present anti that It was at a prayer meeting that Jesus asked the question, "Whom do men any that I the firm at man am?" Christ most often spoke of Himself as 4* the Hon of Man, though He claimed to It he the Hon of God. 'T* • Christ knew the hearts or nten, and He knew what they thought of llhn, ami He asked tho first question only , that He might ask the second one of ' them. He was nearing the close of His ministry nnd He wished to pre pare them for the crucifixion, and es- tahiish Ills church. « The Impetuous, Impulsive Peter, al ways first to speak and act. answered, rt' "Thou apt the Christ, the Hon of the IB lag God.* y Hn was much pleased with the nn- t. swer, and assured Peter that he would 1 I» ver have been able lo formulate such £ a reply, had he not been assisted by the Spirit of Ood.

What ever the apostles In the spirit of Pe- tsr's confession should forbid or allow would receive the snnrtlon of Heaven. Net Ready to be Proclaimed. Our Havlour had the beat of reasons for enjoining the disciples not to pro claim His Measlashlp at this time. They were not ready to teach the doc trine and would not be till the day of Pentecost, when they should be en- bued with understanding and power. Hnvlng brought the disciples to a right conception of Himself, of HI* personality, His relation to the Father, He nutat now begin to prepare them for the groat event to which all others looked forward, nnd without which all the rest would be worthless. He must lead them to n ronecptlon of Hia mis sion. the redemption of the rare. Then Peter began to rebuke Him. If He avsi tn suffer and die as He had predicted. It would be an Inglorious ending of Ills life, and contrary to nil their expectations. They thonght He waa going to establish an earthly king dom. and they were to play an Impor tant part In It. They disputed among themselves who should be the greatest hi It. Nenr the rlose of His ministry they asked Him If He waa nt thla time going to establish the kingdom of Israel. Peter had gained only a glimpse of Christ's spiritual kingdom, and so the Master reproved him, telling him that he was a stumbling block Instrnd of a stone, and that- his words came front Baton through him, the same that he had used lo HI in, when he tempted Him In the wilderness. Self-Oenlel. Then Jeaua sold to His disciples, and Stark tells ua, all the people, for what He waa about (o say waa of universal application, "If any man will coma after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." Neither by example or precept did Christ sanction ascetlsm. Nor did He tearh ihBl tye are to endure self-im posed penalties and penances. Our cross thnt we ere to hear la whatever Is hard to do or bear for Christ's aake. What may bs a cross tor one Is not for another. Whatever It Is. ws are to beer It cheerfully. It Is harder to drag the cross than to carry It. Profit and Loss. A student In one of our colleges was a very fine mathematician and often difficult problems were hnnded him for solution. Gne night he rants In end found this problem lying on hia table: "What shall It profit a man If he gain the whole world and lose hie own soul?" ire was an irreligious young inan, ami at first laughed over It as a Joke. But he found on retiring that It had mode such an Impression on hie mind that he rould not go to sleep. And for daye he kept pondering over It, till at Inst he found a solution In giving Itlmeelf to Christ. It Is a problem that Is preasnted to each one of us for solution, and can be solved only In one way. Among all other questions of profit and loss this one should be paramount and pre eminent. If we would know the value of a soul we linve but to look at Calvary. It Is of such tnflnts value that Jeaua laid aside Ills robe and crown, and left Ills heavenly abode to come to earth, nnij assuming our nature, live u life of pov erty anil persecution and then die the cruel. Ignominious death of the cross. We should prlte It above the wealth of the world—all the gold In her mines, all the pearls In her seas, all her dia monds that sparkle In crowns of roy ally, or flash on the hands and In the tresses of beauty. The promise In the last verse of the lesson may have been fulfilled at ilia resurrertlnn or on the day of Rente- cost. His death, Ills resurrection, Hia second coining, and the Judgment, were the four great truths He would Impress on Ills congregation. Can we truthfuliy eoy, aa sometimes wre sing. “Jesus, I my cross have taken. All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken. Thou from hence my all shall be?'
