THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATURDAY. JUNK 1W.
MY GOSPEL
By REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE,
Pastor Second Baptist Church
T HREE times did the Apostle Paul
use the expression "My gospel.'
We are not to understand that
he Is speaking In discredit of the go*
pel, according to Matthew or Mark or
Luke or John. These are not the
words of a bigot.
Paul was a large man, larger than
any other of his contemporaries, but
the gospel was larger than Paul. Other
apostles had their gospel, their revela
tion and experience of Christ, and
theirs was not In all aspects Identical
with Paul’s. We need not be afraid
to admit this. It Is the glory of the
gospel that no one man comprehended
Christ exclusively. With different per
sonalities and each from hla own pe
culiar point of view, the disciples
looked at Christ and heard Him. We
should therefore expect to find Just
what we do find, four gospels, neither
one of which taken alone tells all the
truth about Christ. The West Indies
are a long chain of Islands, Cuba, San
Domingo, Porto Rica,- Jamaica, seem
ing to bo widely and Completely sep
arated from each other, each one a
lovely tropical Jewel resting on the
beaming I bosom of the’sea. But If
vou look below the surface of the
ocean you discover that each of these
Islands Is bound to all the others, that
In fact they are only the high points
of a single coral mountain submerged.
So that whilst each Island seems to be
separate, all rest upon and are a part
of the vast and substantial unity which
lies far below. It Is so with the gospels,
. 1., They
John’s gospel and Paul's gospel,
are In essence and unity one gospel.
When Paul says, "My gospel,"
luld of "My
speaks as a traveler wou _
ship" or "My train.’’ It was his gos
pel. It was the means of his salva
tion. It was his because he was es
pecially instructed In It. It was his
because he had been divinely and defi
nitely entrusted with It. It was his
because he loved IL It was his because
he lived It. It was his because he suf
fered for It. And supremely Paul
means that what he calls "My gospel"
was his because It was truth which
he realised as truth. He had no doubt
about what he calls "My gospel. He
could preach with the ring of certainty
In his heart. The man who could say.
"Kor me to live Is Christ." "Neverthe-
•“ }* *» not I who live, but Christ
that llveth In me," could say, "My gos
pel. without challenge.
Your Gospel.
Every Christian ought to be able to
say "My gospel." We often felicitate
ourselves that we have the gospel, that
we have the Bible, and we assert oft-
times what Is not worth asserting. The
only gospel a man has In the real sense
Is what he has In him. There Is an
expression In our language—Blbllola-
try—the worship of the Bible as a
Book. It 1s a criticism especially lev
eled at Protestants. Let us be warned
sufficiently to remember that the word
must needs become flesh before It was
powerful. We know of Christ by the
revelation In a Book, but we know
Christ In salvation only by the Holy
Ghost.
Gospel preaching and gospel wit
nessing are by an Incarnation. At least
that was what Christianity was to
Paul. Emerson's remark holds good.
"Only so much do I. know as I have
lived.”
If a man cannot say "My gospel” It
may be questioned If, with all possible
acquaintance with the Bible and tech
nical knowledge of the things of Christ
and all adeptness In handling 8cripture,
he can’ teach to another the way of
salvation. In the annals of the South
ern ministry there la a notable Illustra
tion. There was a young man gifted
as few men are—a genius. At the
present moment he Is before the public
winning favor as an orator, author
and playwright. He entered the Chris
tian ministry. He rose like a meteor.
He was the pride of thousands. In less
than five years he forged his way by
quick bounds to the center of public
attention In New York city, where he
preached to vast audiences. Then a
resounding crash. He' flung off his
ministerial calling. He Is out of the
pulpit forever. His own frank explana
tion la pathetic enough. He said he
found himself preaching hla father's
theology and th* experience of ethers,
and was too honest to keep It up. I
have thought of that man. He rode
triumphantly across my boyish Imagi
nation. I have thought of him with a
R ang of personal sorrow. Oh, I wish

with men, but Is reconciled, and that
they must be reconciled to Him If
they would be saved. In order not to

could have said "My gospel.”
"Should all the forms that men devise
Assault his faith with treacherous art
He'd call them varieties and lies,
And bind his gospel to his heart."
Good News.
The most searching question that Is
ever asked one Is the question I put to
myself: "What Is my gospel?" Now,
1 dare not In earnest answer to that
self-scrutiny presume to claim that
I have a message evolved In my own
consciousness or received as a personal
revelation which 1 may hold In a sort
of spirited patent-right. But I have
”my gospel" nevertheless. It Is what I
would tell men If my life was crowded
to Its last hour of opportunity. If
you will examine the 18th nnd 18th
verses of the 6th chapter of II Corinth
ians, you will find the authority for
"my gospel."
"God hath given to us the mlnstry of
reconciliation; to-wlt, that God was In
Christ reconciling the world unto Him
self. not Imputing their trespasses unto
’them.’ And hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation.''
The first fart about "my gospel,"
the fact that determines the mood and
•plrit of Its ministry, the fart that
I must not at any time neglect. Is
that It la good news. It Is the glad
tidings of the grace of God. In the
privacy of a heart-to-heart corre
spondence with his Intimate personal
friend, Paul once let fall a rare sen
tence. He called the gospel "the glo-
My gospel nnd my theology are not
'M I. My theology
Identical. My theology Is such sys
tematlsed creed of God and His work
ing as | may have. It Includes the
gospel, but Includes, In addition, a sys
tem of doctrines and a aeries of truths
that ran not be called "glad tidings."
There Is truth with respect to sin
and retributive Justice, for Instance.
It Is truth older than the revelation
of Christ. It was truth before Christ
came. It would be truth had he not
come. I can not blink that truth. I
must tell It to men, however solemn Its
Import. But when I tell It. when I
set up the awful background of sin's
guilt and the dark shadows fall over
the souls of mrn, I must hasten then
to my real ministry—the ministry of
the good news. It will help us some,
link, to keep our minds well back
J thli
rlous good news of the happy God."
The music of the gospel Is written In
the key of Joy. I have been com
missioned, If I rightly appreciate the
Christian ministry, to preach .this
Word of reconciliation, to proclaim aa
powerfully aa I can everywhere and
with the primtlve preachers and their
mod* of preaching the gospel. They
acted like men who went forth as
heralds. They were sent, not so much
to educate, to dispute und argue, aa
to proclaim tidings, to bear testimony
to facta. Plainly, the main message,
the passionate business of the church,
was to tell the story of Jesus and Ills
love. It has been pointed out as of
some significance that when Christ
delivered what la called his Inaugural,
he took for His text a paaaago In Isaiah
Ixl, but when he read It In the aynn-
gngue, he omitted one statement of
the prophet, "He hath anointed me to
preach the day of vengeance of our
Ood.”
In I.uke Iv, you may note that omis
sion If you will, and attach to It
aurh Importance aa you choose. It
coincides with thv spirit of Chrlst'a
ministry In the main, at least, that He
did not apply those words of the propli-
self. He did not, as He aald,
To the Corinthians, Paul declared:
"I determined not to know anything
among you save Jesus Christ and Him
cruclfled.” He probably did not mean
that he would make no reference to
the awful fact and the still more aw
ful doom of aln. But he did mean
that what he skid about this or other
matters would be overshadowed by the
cross. When last Sunday, I preached
to you on the Judgment, I wondered
afterwards It at the last I had been
fully loyal to "My Gospel.” It la bun
gllng work that misses the chance
against such a gloomy background of
that has the right to the whole stag?,
t the
no fact so great and Important In ...
calendar of Judgment that the love of
Ood should not go up Immediately be
side It.
‘if we must speak of Judgment, let
us evsr have close at hand the gospel
Indlg-
to take the sting out of our
nation.”
By the space of three years, I
ceased not to warn every one, night
and day, with teare."
In the biography of D. I,. Moody,
w» are told In hla own Words of the
It dated from the day In which he
learned to place the love of God before
everything else, and almost Instead of
everything elee. In his absence, he
allowed a young Englishman to preach
lie returned, he asked hla
"How Is the young Englishman com
ing on? How do the people like him?"
"They like him very much. He has
preached two sermons from that vsrse
of John, ‘God so loved the world that
He gave hla only begotten Son, that
whosoever belleveth In Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.'
And I think you will like him, though
he preaches n little differently from
you. He tells the worst sinners that
Ood loves them."
"Well, then, he Is wrong!" said
Moody.

erted

"He Just beat that tni
my heart," he said, "and
doubted It since. I us
that Ood was behind th
a double-edged sword, ready to

that, t preach now that Ood Is h

from the God of love,".

Several years ago, a -party was vis
iting the famous Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky. A lady became detnrhod
from the party and was not missed
until all were out In the open air.
The sun h*d act. They returned nnd
relied In vain. That night and all
next day, the old negro guide scan li
ed for the missing woman. Imagine
the horror of her situation. She wan
dered In the darkness, stumbling and
falling and ovsreoma with tenor,
llgly shapes fashioned themselves on
every dripping wall. Ilsr footsteps in
the alienee sounded echoes of despair.
Her reason was almost gone.
During the second night of Ills
search, the old negro raught right -f
her and pursued. She saw his face In
the glare of the torch, and It »iw -i»
the fees of n fiend to her distorted
Imagination. She fled screaming. He
caught her at last, as she lied from
his receiving hand. She fough: with
all her remaining strength. Hut I he
strong srins of the guide held her till
she was at last reassured and brought
safely to her friends.
The sinner la lost. He la beside him
self. He does not realise that Ood has
rome to save him. But when h- hems
anti believes II, he Is recon-i'- I and
saved.
Are you reconciled to Ood? Th- n
It Is because you will not believe tha
gospel of Jesus Christ.
GOD’S. ALL-EMBRACING FATHERHOOD
By REV. E. D.
ELLEN WOOD,
Pastor UniverwoHHt Church
T HERE U a certain matertallatlc
philosophy which declares that
God exists only In the mind of
him who believes In His existence.
There Is no profit In a discussion of
the atabllty of this proposition. The
very existence of a belief In God, In
any human mind, la a sufficient and
conclusive proof of Hla existence. Here
Is a thought which can not fall to
bring comfort and assurance. Whence
came this belief In a supreme power
upon which the soul must depend for
sustenance and progress; a belief so
general, so universal, aa to mark, un
mistakably, the line of cleavage be
tween the man and the brute? It came
from no other source than the heart
of God. The belief In God was breath
ed Into the soul of man by the very
spirit of life which gave him being.
Rellgon, under whatever name and
In whatever form, la but the aoul'a
unceasing effort to define and to In
telligently apprehend God.
The development of religion, through
all the centuries of man's constantly
growing Intellect, has witnessed many
grotesque and unworthy conceptions
of Deity. Through successive periods
of ghost, nature and ancestor worship,
civilised man has been led. In his
search after a knowledge of God, to
that conception which was In the mind
of Christ, the conception of Deity as
a father, absolutely Impartial, unfail
ingly Just, Infinitely kind and loving.
It was to this conception of God that
Jesus sought • to direct the minds of
men, and the early Infancy of the
form of religion which bears his name
was fed to strength and purity upon
this truth. But, alas! “men have
sought out many Inventions." The
Deity described In the articles of belief
In some of the Christian sects today
heavenly Father, who received the
adoration of the man of Naxareth.
The supreme effort of the Unlver-
sallat church Is not to form a new re-
God. It Is simply to call men back
from their unhappy theological wan
derings and direct their unsatlsfled
oral teaching of the founder of Chris
tlanlty, an unhesitating faith and
trust In the universal fatherhood of
God.
God Is the father of all men, re
gardless of race nr color, regardless
of physical, mental, moral or financial
condition. Even as His rain falls alike
upon the Just and the unjust, so His
love goes out, unfailingly and Impar
tially, to' nil of Ills children, whether
they be disobedient and wretched or
obedient and happy. His chastening
love pursues relentlessly the erring
one, nnd will not forsake him. The
punishment, Instituted, not from mo
tives of revenge, but for purposes of
salvation, must persist until, with
contrite heart filled with genuine re
pentance, the wanderer turns again,
with gladness, Into the path of right-

TruHtful Nttiling Agcnf* Wanted in Ewj County in the Stile
eousness. The God drhom we adore
as s universal and an all-powerful
Father can do no leas than this by the
children of His own creation, “rihall
not the Judne of all the earth do
rlffht?" The love of an earthly parent
Is not withheld from his persistently
disobedient offsprlnff. The parent-love,
domlnutlnc Hie heart, la not destroyed
by the Ingratitude and disloyalty of
the rebel. It puts forth unusual efforts
to reclaim nnd reatore the wanderer.
Bhall we believe that God, whom Je
sus taught us to call Our Father who
art In heaven, shall be Inferior to man
In the power and peretstenre of His
love?
This larger thought of God Involves
an unescapable responsibility for every
child of His love. If God Is the uni
versal Father, then all men everywhere
are brothers. The man whom I meet
upon the etreet. though he may be de-
fm-mod by disease or dissipation,
though he may be forbidding of coun
tenance and altogether unlovely to
look upon, though even the brand of
Cain bo upon him and hla life forfeit
to the law, la yet the son of s com
mon father, and, therefore, my brother.
Not only the Yuan whom It Is an honor
to call friend, nnd whose companion-
but the physically nnd morally un
clean, the social outcast, the eplritunl
ns a brother, hss full claim to my sym
pathy and niy succor.
This belief In the universal Father
hood of God nnd the consequent uni
versal brotherhood of man, when In the
fullness of time It shall be fully un
derstood nnd adequately applied, shall
he found to be the only needed sol
vent for all the perplexing social prob
lems which are today occupying the
earnest thought of ths world's, most
profound thinkers. No man-made pan
acea for the Increasing social unrest
shall evsr be found to be effective.

REPLIES TO REV. J. E. WHITE
To ths Editor of Ths Georgian:
It has been Intimated pretty strongly
and more than ones through th* At
lanta papsrs by a friend of th* temp*r-
an*, raus* that there waa a poultilIlly
of having a dispensary Instead of ths
saloon system.
A threat In mods against th* liquor
dealers of Atlanta to thin end, that if
they extend the whisky llmlta In this
city, the Law and Order committee,
representing th* Ministers' Evangelical
Association, Dr. John E. White, chair
man, would attempt to bring on n pro
hibition slsctlon, but If that falls then
the dispensary qunatlon would-bo con
sidered. . -v
In a recent Interview with Dr. White,
aa reported In The Atlanta Journal, the
doctor nays:
‘There la an organisation In Atlanta
railed the Anti-Hal,sin League, with
which 1 am not officially connected,
but with the purpoaea of which I am In
entire sympathy whloh may or may
not take some steps In the matter."
Certainly we are very grateful to
him for hla sympathy, for personally
I esteem him very highly and am sure
he Is quite able, by virtue of hla minis
terial position In Georgia, to do the
cause of temperance In the elate great
good. Aa to hla official connection with
th* Antl-tyatoon league, th* doctor**
memory la evidently at fault, for most
assuredly he Is a member of th* board
of directors of the Atlanta Deng*. And
It goes without saying thn Leagus ban
tlyi
only regret that our good brother
temperance cause I* sacred,
„nd nest to thn salvation of souls
thn most Imisirtsnt question nou
fore th* people.
The doctor states that he Is n..t ap
prised as to our attituda toward
question of extending th* liquor tin-
Well, I am sorry he Is not. We hnd
thought any one who Is at all acquaint
ed with the great principles and pur
poses of the Antl-Baloon I,**kuc know
that w* ar* not only opposed to th
extension of liquor limits, but tc
existence of legalised liquor traff
the most narrow circles. We are
posed to the traffic whether It la- the
licensed saloon or that, abominable
compromise, the dispensary. They are
both evil and destructive to men They
are hideous In the. eight of God and
ought to be In the eye* of every Inline
man.
Neither this government nor any oth
er government has a right to ll< ense a
liquor ahnp or any other den that will
pauperise and debauch and munb-r lie
subjects. We drew the line ehnrply.
We are unflinchingly opposed to the
whole nefarious huslneaa. Ilreneed ,a-
loon,, respectable (?) dlspen.aii.-s
drinking club houses, etc.
We are In th* light to win. We me
going to press It to th* last ditch,
hope-by the mercy of Ood to bret
\v*
Jeeus Christ came Into L
to regulate sin, but to do away tilth It:
so w* have come to emash the Idealised
liquor traffic, not to regulate It To
this end we Invite every gentleman In
I llyh,
»ry
Georgia to line up with
valiantly, and to ■ finish, for our
and our Uvea.
