THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY. JUNE IS. !:•'< 3 MY GOSPEL By REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE, Pnator Second Baptist Church T HREE times did the Apostle Paul use the expression "My gospel." We are'not to understand that tif Is speaking in discredit of the gos 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 inv other of his contemporaries, but the gospel was larger than Paul. Other apostles had their gospel, their revela tion and experience ot Christ, and theirs was not In all aspects Identical with Paul's. We need not be nfrald to admit this. It Is the glory of the gospel that no one man comprehended Christ exclusively. With different per sonalities and each from his own pe culiar point of view, the disciples looked at Christ and heard Him. We should therefore expect to find Just What we do llnd. 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 be widely and completely sep arated from each other, each one a lovely tropical Jewel resting on the beaming 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 arp 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, John's gospel and Paul’s gospel. They are in essence and unity one-gospel. When Paul says, "My gospel," he speaks as a traveler would of "My ship” or "My train.” It was his gos pel, It was the means of his salva tion. It waa’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 hit because he loved lb 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 realized as truth. "He had no doubt about what he calls "My gospel. He could preach with the ring of certainty In nil heart. The man who could say, ‘‘Kor mm tn 11v* f« nhHct •• 'Kor me to live It Christ," ".Veverthe' less It. Is 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 ha* In the real aense Is what he has In him. There la an expression In our lahgUage—Dibhole- try—the worship of the Bible as a Book. It Is a criticism especially lev eled at Protestants. Let ue be warned sufficiently to remember that the word must needa become flesh before It was powerful. We know of Christ by the revelation In a Book, but we know Chrlat 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, any “My gospel” It may be questioned If, with all possible acquaintance with the Bible and tech nical knowledge of the things of Chrlat and all adeptness In handling Scripture, he can teach to another the way of salvation. ‘ In the annals of the South ern ministry there Is 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 Ha entered the Chris tian ministry. He rose like a meteor. He waa 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 Is pathetic enough. He said he found himself preaching hla father’s theology and the experience of others, and was too honest tb keep It up. I have thought of that man. He rode triumphantly across my boyish Imagi nation. I have thought of him with a pang of personal sorrow. Oh, I wish he could have said "My gospel.” OOO43OOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 O O O "According to My Gospel.”— O O II Timothy il:8. O O O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "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 la ever asked one Is the question I put to myself: "What le my gospel?" Now, I 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 I may hold In a sort of spirited patent-right. But I have "my gospel" nevertheless. It Is whnt I would tell men If my life was crowded to Its last hour of opportunity. If you will examine the I8th and 18th verses of the 6th chapter of II Corinth ians, you will And the authority for ”my gospel." "God hath given to us the mlnstry of reconciliation: to-u-lt, that God waa 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 fact about "my -gospel," the fact that determines the mood and spirit of Its ministry, the fact that I must not at any time neglect, Is that It Is good news. It la the glad tidings of the grace of God. In the privacy of a heart-to-heart corre spondence with his Intimate personal friend. Paul onee let fall a rare sen tence. He called the gospel "the glo- REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE. rlous good news of the happy God." Tne music of the gospel In 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 as powerfully aa I can everywhere und to everybody that God la not angry wltji men, but Is reconciled, and that they must be reconciled to 'Him If they would be saved. In order not to be misunderstood, let me make a dis tinction not very generally observed. My gospel and my theology are not Identical. My theology la such sys tematised creed of God and His work ing aa I may have. It Includes the gospel, but Includes, In addition, a sys tem of doctrines and a series of truths that ran not be called “glad tidings." There Is truth with respect to stn and retributive Justice, fob Instance. It Is. truth older than the revelation of Chrlat. It waa 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 msn, I must hasten then to my real ministry—the ministry of the good news. It will help us some, I think, to keep our minds Well bnek with the prlmltve preachers und their mode of preaching the gospel. They acted like men who went forth ns heralds. They were sent, not so much to educate, in dispute and argue, as to proclaim lldlngs, to bear testimony to farts. Plainly, the main message, the passionate business of the church, was to tell the story uf Jesus and Ills love. It has been pointed out as of some significance that when Christ delivered what Is called his Inaugural, he took for His text a passage In Isaiah Ixl, but when he read It In the syna gogue, he omitted one. statement of the prophet, "He hath anointed me to preach the day of vengeance of our Ood/' In Luke Iv, you may note that omis sion If you will, and attach to It such Importance as you choose. It coincides with the spirit of Christ's ministry In the main, at least, that He did not apply those words of the proph et to Himself. He did not, as He said, “come to condemn the world," 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 thnt what he said about this or other matters would be overshadowed by the cross. When Iqst Hunclay, I preached to you on the Judgment, I wondered afterwards If at the last 1 had been fully loyal to "My Oospel." It Is bun gling work that misses the chance against such a gloomy background of shadow and despair to lift the shining cross. There Is no truth of tile law that has the right to the whole stage, no fact ao great and Important In the calendar of Judgment that the love of God should not go up Immediately be side II. “If we must speak nf Judgment, let us ever have close at hand tha gospel to take the atlng out of our Indig nation." "By the space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tear*.” in the biography of D. L. Moody, we are told In his own words of the turning point of his great evangelism. It dated from the day In whlrh he learned to place the love of Gml before everything else, and almoat Inslend of everything else. In his absence, he allowed n young Englishman to preach In his pulpit rnther reluctantly. When he returned, he naked'his wire: How Is the young Englishman com ing on? llnw do the people like him?" "They like him very much. He line prenched two sermons from that verse of John, 'God so loved the world thnt He gave his only begotten Ron, thnt whosoever belleveth In Him should not perish, but have everlnstlng life.' And I think you will like him, though he preaches a little differently from you. He tells the wprst sinners that Ood loves them." Well, then, he la wrong!” said Moody. 1 For seven nights, the young Eng lishman. Ilenry Morehouse, went with that one text. Ho converted Mr. Moody. "He Just beat that truth down Into my heart,” he said, “and I have never doubted It since. I used to preach that Ood was behind the sinner with a double-edged sword, ready to hew him down. But I have got done with that. I preach now that God Is behind him with love, and he la running away from the God of love.” "My gospel" Is the good news to the • sinner who Is running away from the Ood of love.

ELLEN WOOD, Pastor Univorsnlist Church T HERE Is a certain, materialistic 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 stabllty of this proposition. The very existence of a belief In God, In any human mind. Is a sufficient and conclusive proof of Hla existence. Here I* a thought which can not fall to bring comfort and -assurance. Whence came this belief In a supreme power upon which the sou! 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- htm being. . Rellgon, tinder whatever name and In whatever form, la but the soul's unceasing effort to define and to' In* telllgently apprehend God. The development of religion, through all the centuries of man's constantly growing intellect,.has wltnaased many grotesque and unworthy conceptlona 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 waa 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 ■‘ellgldn which bears his name waa fed to strength and purity upon this truth. But, alas! "men have sought out many Inventions." The Deity described tn the articles of belief In some of the Christian sects today bear* but slight resemblance to the heavenly Father, who received the adoration of the man of Nazareth.

The God whom we adore ns a universal nnd an all-powerful Father ran d» no less than this by Ihe children of His own creation. "Shall not the Judgo of all the earth do right?" The love-of nn onrthly parent Is not withheld from hla persistently disobedient offspring. The parent-love, dominating His heart, Is not destroyed by the Ingratitude and disloyalty of the rebel. It puts forth unusual efforts to reclaim and restore the wanderer. Shall we believe thnt Ood, whom Je. sue taught us to rail Our Father who art In heaven, ahall be Inferior to man In the power and peralatence of His love? Thla larger thought of Ood Involves an unescapnble 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 street, though he may be de formed by disease or dissipation, though hs may be forbidding of coun tenance and altogether unlovely to look upon, though even the brand of ('aln he upon him nnd his life forfeit to the law, Is yet the eon of a com mon father, and, therefore, my brother. Not only the man whom It Is nn honor to rail friend, nnd whose compnnlnn- but the physically and morally clean, the social outcast, the spiritual delinquent, he Is also my brother, and ns a brother, has full claim to my aym- IHithy nnd my succor. Thla 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 adequatsly applied, shall l>e found to be the only needed sol vent for nil the perplexing social prnb- Isms which are today occupying the earnest thought of the world's most profound thinkers.

Young People's meeting Thursday night lie gliinlujj with street meeting In front ol To tho Editor of The Georgian: It him been Intimated pretty strongly and more than once through tha At lanta papers by a friend nf the temper ance causa that there Waa a possibility of having a dispensary Instead of the saloon system. A threat'll made against the liquor dealers of Atlanta to thla end, that If they extend the whlaky lltnlta In thla city, IKe Law and Order Committee, representing tha Ministers’ Evangelical Association, Dr. John E. White, chair man, would attempt to bring on a pro hibition election, but It that falls than the dispensary question would be con sidered. In a recent Interview with Dr. While, as reported In The Atlsnts Journal, tbs doctor says: 'There la an organisation In Atlanta railed the Anti-Saloon League, with which I am not officially connected but with the purposes of which I am In entire sympathy which may or may not tako some steps In tha matter.” I'ertalnly we are very grateful to him for Ills sympathy, for personally I esteem him very highly and am sura he Is quite able, by virtue of his minis terial position In Georgia, to do the reuse of temperance In the state great good. Aa to hla official connection with the Antl-Haloon League, Ihe doctor's memory Is evidently at fault, for most' assuredly he la a member of the board of directors of the Atlanta I^sge. And -It goes without saying the League has greatly missed Ills valuable services. We only regret that our good brother lias forgoten so Important an obliga tion. The temperance cause Is sacred, nnd next to the salvation of soul- ii u Ihe most Important question now be fore the people. The doctor states that he is m-t ap prised as to nur attitude toward the question of extending the liquor llmltn. Well, 1 am sorry he la not. We had thought .any «ne who Is nt all acquaint, ed with the great principles and pur poses of the Antl-Baloon League kn-.ivs that we are not only opposed to tho extension of liquor limits, but la iho existence of legalised liquor traffic In the most narrow circles. Wo nre op posed to the traffic whether It la- the licensed saloon or that abnmlnahi,, compromise, the dispensary, Th*' arn both evil and destructive to men. They are hideous In the sight of God and ought to be In the eyaa of every nuiv: man. Neither this government nor any oth er government hgs a right to lleenae ,i liquor shop or sny other den that will pauperize and debauch anil murd-i Its subjects. We draw the line nharpli. We are unflinchingly opposed (-- ihe whole nefarious business, license,I «a. loons, respectable (?) dlapcnr.n e a drinking club houses, etc. We nro In the flght'to win. We ate going to press It to the last ditch. We hope by the mercy of God to bn ak up the liquor Iniquity In Georgia. Jesus Christ came Into the world not to regulate aln, but to do away with It; so we have come to smaah the h-«aiiz,-,| liquor traffic, not to regulate It. To this end we Invite every gentleman In Georgia to line up with us and light valiantly, and to a finish, for our Imnor and our lives, ■..... J. C.
