Christ began His ministry of teach ing by explaining and defining .what should be the creed, the character and the conduct of those who were to be His disciples. First, Ite went fo the highsst sorts! and religious tank, then In the world about Him, and directed attention to' the ethical weaknesses of those who made great claims for them selves, and Said* "Verily I any unto you except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes ana Phari sees ye shall In no wise enter Into the kingdom of God.” Then Ho wont to the other extreme, the bottom rank of society, and with characteristic consideration for those who are despised among men, He pointed out the Publicans. "If ye. my disciples, are kind and good only to those who are kind and good to you. In what are you better than the most de graded class nmong you? Do not the Publicans that well? If you are to do Just as well as the Publicans, who have no religion, what better Is your religion than no religion ut ull. What do ye more than others?” The disciples of Christ are then to be better than the world's bad men and better than the world's best men. There are forty thousand Christians In Atlanta, six hundred thousand In Georgia. and twelve millions In the Houth, who. at the present time, need nothing so much as to be aroused to the truth and Its Imperious obliga tion that to be a Christian means to get out and above the crowd. To the follower of Christ who ac cepted Him as Lord and Master, It was made plain at once that In coming after Christ lie came under a new htw embodiments of the principles and ex amples of the character of Jesus Christ should have been able to escape dis tinction, than it was that such undis tinguished Individuals as they were should have become famous as they did. Ho If Is true now that the distinc tion of the Christian man dvit*’ the ordinary run of humanity should be Inevitable and unavoidable. ‘There Is a superiority that. Inheres* In the Chris tian man logically arid nhfUrtflly. The Imprimatur of (tod Is on him. The severest indictment to he made against h professor <»f the religion of Jesus Is that he can be lost In the crowd. There are three distinguishing facts of the Christian life. First, his creed; second, Ills character; third, his con duct. THs Creed Mark. out the supremest tints upon the porce lain, Christ flung Himself and every thing He was upon the Cross, "and gave Himself up for us all.” Therefore, the creed of the Christian is all that Christ believed and thought, plus Christ Himself, who is the center of it all and the exhaustless source of the energy that enables a man to practice the great principles. This Is the amazing wonder ot the Christian’s faith. This* was Paul’s creed at Cor inth, "Jesus Christ, plus Him? What? —Crucified I” This Is the one creed known among men that has truth as truth, goodness us goodness, and also Inseparable from It an efficient power to reproduce It In the human life. From another view the Christian’s creed is remarkable. It goes further In ery way than human nature Justifies. Christianity la nrst a rfll*l»n of be- J* tranx entla nature piety. It ov llevlnr Him it rellel.m of liclnr and ‘ ''"I’* H, ‘ «M">!!tlon«! KOOdlieiM. It t» llettng, inert it religion or wing anu more „ nerou , t | ia! , ( . harlty require,,. then a religion of doing. It Is "belle v Ing” first. This Is the divine natural order. Nothing could be more unintelligent than tin; cheap talk we hear agulnat reeds." Every man has his creed, that Is, If he Is anything or thinks,11s more liberal than thrift ullows, more unselfish than prudence dictates. It risks the scorn of conservatism In every way. It issues Its imperative not only for the great muin programs of life, hut for every thought, every feeling, every deed. Home one has suggested that the difference between the moral becomes u man. Bad men have their | Ity of the world and the creed of# the reeds. The Devil has Ills creed. Christ Christian may be Illustrated by the rtlf ertalnly hud a distinct creed. He be lleved things definitely. He taught truth In crystals of thought—the things He had received of His Father. In al most every respect Christ’s creed was at variance with or a revolutionizing extension of the religious and ethical conceptions of His mvn and past ages. In His one statement to the Phurlseen. "The kingdom of God Is within you,” He reversed three thousund years of earnest religious thinking. In its spirit most of all Christ's creed was diamet rically an upsettal of the world's phil osophy prevailing then nml since. 11s hod u creed about God. u most original and wonderful article of Ills creed, that was; also a creed about man, scarcely less so. In fact, He IihU a creed about practically everything that comes tip for men to think und talk about, relating to the deep issues of ference between an ordinary weather cock und the mariner's compass. The weather rock distinguishes only the four quarters— east, west, north, south —-and by It men roughly guess their way. The mariner's compass 4;» a much inure wonderful Instrument. It not only gives the four cardinal points of north, south, east nml west, but 32 points are exactly marked mid named so that the sailor can guide hi.) ship with severest precision nml find Ids way In storm as In calm. With Ills creed there Is no need for a Chrlstluu ever to go •wrong. Moreover, the creed of the Christian Is remarkable for Its boldness. It says more, promises more, professes more, hopes for more. Its claims are stupen dous. Its pledge and provision are fh> lions beyond Imagination. Its pro gram is imperial beyond (he dreams of | Into three measure* of meal till the I parlor to the multitude?

The word becomes flesh. Have you ever thought this question to its human!)' satisfying answer: "What was It about Christ that gave Him such |*ersonal peculiarity and power?" It was Ills Christian char acter. "The fullness of the God-liead dwelt In Him bodily." That Is, He In- •arnated Godliness or goodness. This was His clmrni. What is It that makes a Christian? Jt Is the Christ In Him. If we receive Christ, Just In proportion as we do receive Him our characters are Chrlfct- like, Wc want to get rid of the Idea, break with It utterly, that a Christian Is Just an Improved sinner. He Is more and vitally more than that. The trans fer from the kingdom of the world into the kingdom of God takes place at the •enter, not at the circumference, of a man's life. A Christian Is a better man from the heart out than he was once, and tlmn he fcver could be with out Christ. ’Tls a power outside of us making for righteousness inside of us, not merely by improving what is found there, hut liy thfc Importation of n di vine spiritual dynamic.

The story Is told that a certain dis tinguished lawyer In New Yor’». who was an officer in a Christian church, was associated with a no less cele brated** Jewish lawyer in an Important case.

It was something to have lived among the stars, oh, It Is something Inexpressible for the Christian to re fuse to melt Into his surroundings, for it means that he dwells with Christ In true comradeship. Mr. D. K. Pearson, the Chicago mil lionaire, addressing other millionaires, says about this: "You fellows arc missing the fun of your life by not giv ing away your money to build up things and help humanity. Just try It." Have you ever tried this great Joy of being because you darA to he «u- My friend, 'almost thou persuadest me to bo a Christian.' ’* I do not know the merits of that matter, but the comment speaks for itself. Public Opinion. The Christian ought to be a superior citizen. Upon public questions, social problems and the Issues that require the best wisdom of men for their solu tion. the Christian can no more lay down Ills first allegiance to the spirit of Christ than he can safely ubjure his faith In God on Ills death bed. Jf a Christian man stands before tne expressing thoughts and avowing opin.

Well, trnat at** unrHUtAiw tor. anyway? Be sides. I would not say that the princi pal thing In n Christian’s duty is jo stand up against things, but It Is to go in and change majorities If # he can: go in and reduce them: go in and sweeten thA current of public opinion. I know a great river that drags along Pie mud levels of North Carolina. Its wateis are neither clear nor 5 clean. At fre quent interevals in ltg course there come the sweet fresh creeks flowing, out of the high distant uplands. They pour In their generous sacrifice, but do not long seem to afreet the turgid tide thm rolls muddlly and moodily in Its slow fashion toward the eeg. But you are greatly mistaken. Those'sparkling tributaries are the salvation of that river and bt that section. The river would rot ere It reach the sea and scat ter death through the land without them. Where these sweet creeks pour In to mingle with the muddy waters the fish In great shoals come to spawn and thus to make the section prosperous. On the hanks of that river the rich fish ermen have built their splendid homes and erected about them the best clyiii. zatton of the stute. because those fresh clean currents from the uplands have been and are the saving health of the Chawan’a mlasmlc flood. Time is the broad bed.of a great river. Public sentiment. is its muddy stream running over the low fiats of human nature, with its mean passions and Its selfish Ideals. But Christians are the gracious tributaries who*** waters, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, cleansed by the sunshine of the hills of heaven, and kissed by the freshening flowers of grac<\ and life. They pour in their rivulets of Chrlst-llke thought and feeling and save the world’s public opinion from rottenness and death. 'Little drops of water, little grains <<t Hand Make the mighty ocean und the bounte ous land." Only a drop of water—but be a clean reel drop. Only a grain of sand—but you may he a golden grain. *’ "The period of life Is brief: It Is the red of the red rose leaf; It Is the gold of a sunset sky: It Is the flight of a bird on high; Tlut one can fill the apace With such infinite grace.

I. The thought in facts the mind finds available for science la just their kinship to one another. In losing their rela tions they lose their intelligible ex istence. All in a fact the mind can grasp and turn into science is Its re lations. Strip it or these and It is no longer Intelligible, and for the mind no longer exists. We are forced to think of all tilings as standing togeth er In a small system we call the unl- veree. The parts of tills are necessarily related, or together they would not inaka the coamos, but chaos. Fact*. however, arc to be distinguished from their relations. The outside of objects we may call the facts of them and the Inside the relations of them. The dif ference mode In thought between the miter, and inner side of fuels Is dug to the mental doorways, known as sen sibility and reason through which ull objects* push Into the mind.

But there ure other great facts which contain thought available for science, besides those furnished by nature considered In itself alone, or j by humanity considered In Itself alone, 1 or by God considered In Himself alone. » For Instance, there are compound facts I that are not in nature alone, nor in man alone, but result from a partner ship between some original human {quality and some natural current of i influence. There is vision. It Is not In • the eye ulone nor In the light J alone; Jt Is a compound fact formed by I the union ot the sun’s rays and the j mechanism of sight.

Breathing I* u dual experience that conies from the continuous truffle between the ulr and the lungs. Physi cal strength Is a fact due to the union of hunger and food. Besides these facts, which owe their existence to something human get ting Into association with something natural, there are those which are clue to something human getting Into co- partnership with something divine. Knowledge Is a fact made up of inside faculty und outside thought. Music Is u fact due to the senile of harmony in man. combined with the notes lodged In objects outside of him. a fain. man Is to the universe, what he Is by his Intellect to tlie relations of It, what he is by this desire to the value of it, what he Is by his will to the reproduc tion of it. what he Is In himself. The constituent elements of man have been enumerated as body, mind and spirit. Rut these terms are not to be taken as representing distinct di visions in the one self, but merely a* convenient phrases used to describe threu phases of the one personality. Fro?n the standpoint of breathing an imated dust man is body, from the standpoint of percoivlng reasoning ac tivity he Is inlnd, from the standpoint of capacity to live u universal and holy life he is spirit. As body ho passes and perishes and sinks In the earth, as inlnd ho projects himself In literature and lives through time, an spirit he unites himself with God and -lives through eternity. Man as spirit Is the real, comprehen sive all-inclusive self, of which body and mind are but different uspects. Body and mind are engaged In a per petual warfare for mastery the one over the other until they are reduced to terms of service *ml loyalty and unity in the whoteness and Integrity of man as a spirit. The body cannot hh a rebel live a life of nieie unlmalUy without making the mind a slave of lust and passion. Kven if It were pos sible for him to become n complete animal he would lose whatever pleas ure there is In being an utiimal.

If there be any. ('anut mo a thousand fold worse than I um damned If I know, what to say- to you." In triumphing over the mind the body defeats Itself, degrades the mind ami corrupts the spirit, but tho complete triumph of the mind over the body, In the sense that a Hindu monk triumphs over It, while not ho disas trous ns the enslavement of the inlnd by the body, Is'still the arrest and de feat of life. Tlje body hi the seat of desire, and If by the ehtlrc conquest of the mind this aspect «»f the personal self should'utterly be eliminated, then man would be Jlke a watch with m> spring In it, or ati engine with no steam In It, or a trolley with no lightning in It, or a solar system with no sun to heat it.

Had there been n » desire there would have been no sin: hud there been no desire there would have been no holiness.
