2 (Oxtr ynlpit THE HEATHEN LOST, WITHOUT THE GOSPEL. Substance of a Discourse by Robert H. Harris, Pastor First Baptist Church, Columbus, (la., Delivered at tho •'Centennial Missionary Meetins" of Mt. Zion Church, Muscogee County, July 16. 1802. Continued from last week. I think the passages quoted in this connection do teach the doc trine of “degrees of punishment,” but there can be no question that they also emphasize the doctrine that all who cannot pass the test of judgment by the gospel of Christ will be certainly ami impartially pun ished. The former doctrine just alluded to, is not a doctrine of grades. I think the Scriptures indicate degrees of happiness in heaven, as well as degrees of misery, in hell, the differ ence in experience of one or the other depending rather on capacity than position. A homely figure may illustrate this point. A row of jugs, different sizes, arc placed upon a shelf—one holding ten gallons, one holding five, one two and so on, down through quarts, pints and gills, to one that can hold only a thimbleful. When filled, they are. all full, the thimble jug as full as the ten gallon jug -every one as full as it can be and all standing on the same level or grade—and yet tho largest jug contains many times more than the smallest. The difference is one of capacity, altogether. 'That old saint who has “spent and been spent,” in the service of God, for the * dear Lord’s sake, has buried all her loved ones and now, widowed and alone, is dying in poverty, upon a pallet of straw, starved to death for the want of both food and friendship, and yet who has been devoted and faithful in ail things, will possess a larger capacity for happiness, in heaven, than many an orderly Christian who has been merely “correct in his walk” and has suffered little or none, for Jesus'sake. Just so, capacities will differ, in the nether world, and, thus, there may be a difference in the number ot “stripes”; but there can be “no difference” in the character of the penalty, nor in tho period of its duration—if the Scriptures are true. Tho Bible teaches salvation by “repentance and faith.” “In those ♦ days, came John the, Baptist,preach- J ingin the wilderness of Judea and ' saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” Matt., iii., 1-2. “The time is fullfilled and the king dom of God is at hand—repent, ye and believe the gospel,” Mark, i., 15. “Now, God coinmandeth all men everywhere, to repent,’’Acts, xvii. 30. “Except ye repent, ye shall all per ish," Luke xiii., 13. “John did bap tize in the wilderness, and preach baptism of repentance, for the re mission of sins,” Mark, 1., 4. “Tes tifying, both to the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ,” Acts, xx., 21. (Now, every Mell-informed person knows that the terms, Gentiles, Greeks, etc., as used by New Testament writers, in con tradistinction t<> the Jews, mean the heathen. For example, “The gospel of Christ is the power of God, unto salvation, to every one that believeth —to the Jew, first, and also, to the Greek,” Rom., i., IG.) “Then to continue: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for tho remission of sins.” Acts, ii., 38. (And many different nationalities of heathens had just before this, heard and heed ed the same exhortation, from all the apostles). “Repent ye, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,” Acts, iii., 19. “Thus it behooved that repentance and re mission of sins should be preached in His name, among all nations, be ginning at Jerusalem,” Luke, xxiv., 47. 1 dare any man to deny these Bible declarations that the same “gospel of repentance and faith” was odained to be proclaimed to all peo ple alike—“beginning at Jerusalem,” because a beginning had to be made somewhere and God, in His absolute sovereignty, had seen tit to “elect” the Jews as the first recipients of His divine message of salva tion. Now, “tho gospel of ignorance,” as Dr. Gibson calls it, is thus combatted and disposed of by the Scriptures. “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed, from faith to faith ; as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is re vealed from heaven, against all un godliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unright eousness; l>ecause that which may be known of God is manifest in them— for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him, from tho creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not * * * arid changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man and to birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things. Where fore, God also gave them up to un cleanness and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.” Rom., i., 17-28. “For we have, before, proved, both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. * * * There is none thatseeketh after God * * * there is no fear of God before their eyes. * * * Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore, by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in His sight. * * * r pj le righteousness of God is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all that believe— for there is no difference—for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” Rom., iii., 9-23. “For with the heart, man believeth, unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation ; * * * for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. * * * So, then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God,” Rom., x., 10-17. “If any man sin, wo have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous; and He is the propitiation for our sins—and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world,” 1 J no., ii., 1-2. Jesus answered “Ver ily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. * * * That which is born of tho flesh, is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. Marvel not, that I said unto thee, Yo must be born again,” 1 Jno., iii., 3-7. “Whosoever boliev cth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God,” 1 Jno., v., 1. “Ho that hath the Son, hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life,” 1 Jno., v., 12. “Because Ho hath appointed a day, in the which, He will judge the world, in right eousness, by that man whom Hq . hath ordained; whereof, He hath giv-* on assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from tho dead,” Acts, xvii., 31. How can any man stand before this tidal wave of Scripture, declar ing with all the empasis of Divine inspiration, the essentiality to salva tion, of repentance and faith in Christ, and the necessity of a “new birth,” ami still maintain that tho heathen are saved by virtue of ig norance? I have been challenged to prove the aflirmative of the proposition be fore ns, by the Bible. 1 have given yon the Scriptures, by which Paul declares that it is proved. Is there an incorrigible before me? I dare yon to deny the teaching of God’s word. There is no dearth of proof texts. The question, with me, has been and still is, How little, out of the abundance, to content myself with. I find no pleasure in contem plating the woful condition of the benighted heathen; but I must accept the declarations of God, howsoever saddening to my soul. And, then, in the midst of the gloom, 1 turn and scan the heavens, for a ray of light. Nor do I look in vain. “Arise! shine! for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. The Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Thy sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.”—lsa., 60: 1, 3,4.' Into the “gross darkness,” light is streaming, from the glorious person ality of the promised Messiah. A Saviour who, although a Jew, felt the blood of Gentiles coursing through His veins and through His Moabite ancestress, Ruth, was liter ally akin to the heathen world. Re demption is provided and tho mort gage of Satan may be lifted. An arrangement is perfected for our rescue “out of the snare of tho devil, who arc taken captive by him, at his will,” 2 Tim., ii: 26, and although all men, in common with tho Apostle Paul, arc “carnal (and by nature) sold under sin,” Rom., vii., 14, we anticipate freedom, in the assurance of Him who spoke in tho prophecy: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because tho Lord hath anointed mo to preach good tidings unto the meek, Ho hath sent mo to bind up tho broken-hearted, to proclaim liber ty to the captives and the opening of the prison to thorn that are bound,” Isa., Ixi., 1. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, AUGUST 18. 1892. But are we concerned in this mat ter, any further than in our own emancipation? If it is true that “we are workers together with God,” 2 Cor., vi., 1., we are. The heathens are lost. There is do way “unto the Father, but by (Christ).” Jno., xiv., 15. “Without faith (in Christ), it is impossible to please (God),” Heb., xi., G. “How shall they (the unre generate of the world) call on Him, in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? * * * So, then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Rom., x., 14, 17. This is God’s plan of re demption. If we have the Truth, it is our duty “to make known the mystery of the gospel,” Eph.,vi., 19., for, “according to the commandment of the everlasting God (this mystery Rom., xvi., 25, must be) made known to all nations, for the obedience of faith.” Hom., xvi., 2G. The parable of “The Good Samaritan,” Luke x., 29, 31, shows us who is our neighbor and our duty to him. According to that, “I am debtor, both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians—both to the wise and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I (should be) ready to preach the gospel to you that are in (heathen) Romo also,” Rom., i., 14-15. If I cannot “go,” I must “send.” This is the Spirit of Christ, and “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His,” Rom.’ viii., 9. God says to His people, “Ye are not your own— for ye are bought with a price; there fore, glorify God, in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s,” 1 Cor., vi., 19, 20. “Whereunto, He called you, by our gospel, to the ob taining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,” 2 Thcss., ii., 14. The question of our fidelity is raised in this issue. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you,” Jno. 15: 14. “If ye love me, keep my commandments,” Jno., xiv., 15. “If a man love me, he will keep my words,” Jno., xiv., 23. What is His parting commandment? “Go, ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of tho Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost,” Matt., xxviii., 19. As this is the test of our friendship, so it- is thb upon which is based the assurance' of his continual presence with us: “And, lo 1 lam with you, alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matt., xxviii., 20. “Go, bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. Let all the nations be gathered. * * * And they shall bring all your brethren, for an offer ing unto the Lord, out of all na tions,” Isa., xliii., 6,9, 20. “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a wit ness unto all nations,” Matt., xiv., 14; “For after, that in the wisdom of God, the world, by (its) wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe,” 1 Cor., i., 21. But “how shall (the heathen) hear, without a preacher ? and how shall they preach except they be sent?” Rom., x., 14, 15. Wo have been listening to ming led promises and warnings, but now tho warnings deepen: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kigdom of heaven ; but ho that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven,” Matt., vii., 21. “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heai on, the same is my brother and sister,” Matt., xii., 50. “Verily, 1 say unto you, inasmuch, as ye did it not (my will) unto one of tho least (most obscure) of these, (tho needy), ye did it not unto me,” Matt., xxv., 45. “To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him, it is sin,” James iv., 17. “If tho watch man see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet and the people bo not warned, if the sword come ami take any person from among them, ho is taken away in his iniquity— but his blood will bo required at tho w atchman’s hand. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die ! if thou doss, not speak, to warn tho wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die iu his iniquity—but his blood will I re quire at thine hand,” Ezek., xxxiii., 6, 8. The heathen, like all other men, by nature, arc lost—according to tho Scriptures. If there be ono person present, who is not convinced of this, stand up, now, and declare it- The gospel offers the only means of salvation provided for any man—ac cording to tho Scriptures. We have received “the unspeakable gift,” 2 Cor., ix., 15, and we can refuse to offer its provisions to our benighted neighbor, only at our own peril—ac cording to the Scriptures. What should we do? “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world.” If we will not carry it, or send it, we shall be removed out of the way and others will accept the mission. The - avalanche is coming and if we oppose it, or merely stand still, in the way, we shall be swept from the face of the earth. The Lord “will work and who shall hin der it?” Isa., xliii., 13. But the doctrine has been taught, in this community that “the commis sion expired with the last one of the eleven disciples” who witnessed the Lord’s ascension! That is the last dodge of impotent heterodoxy. If that be true, why did “the eleven” immediately elect Matthias to the vacancy left by Judas Iscariot? And why did Paul go out as a missionary to the heathen twenty years later? Why, too, did Barnabas and Silas and others engage in similar under takings? Above all, why did Jesus promise to be with those to whom the commission was given, “alway, even unto the end of the world?” Were “the eleven” to live in the world until the end of it? If so, where are they now ? The expres sion, literally translated, reads, “through all the days,” etc. Where are “the eleven,” in these days? I denounce the heresy! and I warn you against any man, no matter whence he hails, who will warp the Scriptures and endeavor to deceive the people. It has been falsely said that it costs ten dollars to convey ten cents to the heathen, and a great complaint has been made against “so much ma chinery,” in our missionary enter prises. Our boards correspond to directorates in railroads, banks and other legitimate enterprises, our sec retaries, correspond to their secreta ries, cashiers, etc., and no large busi ness, of any kind can be successfully conducted without such officials. Our officials are Christian gentleman. I dare any man to charge them with dishonesty, or a misappropriation of funds. The expense of the “ma chinery” is comparatively small and the difference (in our favor) in value between domestic currency and for eign exchange is sometimes sufficient to pay all expenses and still leave a contribution. I noticed this differ ence in money values, particularly, on two different visits to Mexico, six or seven years apart. On one of those visits, I found that a United States dollar was worth one dollar, twelve a half cents in Mexican money, of purer silver. At that time you might have rolled your mission ory dollar toward Mexico and after paying all commissions, it would have entered tho country of the Montezumas, worth seven or eight or, possibly, nine cents more than it was when it left your hand! And, to-day, as I am informed the prem ium is from thirty-five to thirty-nine per cent! But suppose it should cost one half the money contributed, to make the other half available, in sustaining missionaries and providing the heathen with the printed gospel—it would be money well spent. Statis tics show that souls are thus saved —and who can estimate the value of a human soul? Now, in conclusion, let us hoar the testimony of Dr. Graves, whoso resi dence of over thirty years among the heathen renders valuable his evi dence, upon the question we have discussed. “What,” ho asks, “is tho condition of tho heathen? Where will you find tho men ‘who do the best they know how? Heathen sages deny that there are any such men, The heat hen admit {that their sins far outweigh their morality. If men .Ire saved on account of their morality, the whole gospel system is a mistake and wq aro saved by works, and not by grace. While God has ‘included all under sin,’ lie has also provided a remedy for all. Yet its application is made depen dent upon human agency. The Bi ble clearly teaches that tho salvation of all men depends on their ‘hearing’ and ‘believing’ tho gospel. How great the responsibility, resting upon us! What is the doom of the heath on? Lost! lost! without tho gospel. What will bo our doom, if we with hold it from them?” A WHOLESALE GROOERYMAN Mr. T. I). Meador, of the firm of Oglesby & Meador, thinks it is just as important to fortify against the sudden attacks of tho bowels, as against tho robber that invades tho household. He says Dr. Biggers’ Hucklebrrey Cordial is a weapon, a dead shot to bowel troubles. A ROAD SYSTEM. A FERFECTED AND THE CHEAPEST SYSTEM OF ROADS.—THE WHOLE SOUTH WILL APPROVE. ROAD-WORKING NO MORE.- THE WORLD’S METROPOLIS IN ALABAMA.—THE COUNTRY’S COMMERCIAL MAP UPSIDE DOWN. BY LOUIS J. DUPKE. Continued from last week. All “dirt roads” will be short and each used by very few farmers, will be therefore, always good. Counties will only be required to build bridges that a neighborhood, here and there, may cross a river or a creek to reach the nearest dummy line. A “station” is anywhere on a dummy line. Un til the rOads are paid for moderate rates of freight and travel will be in stituted and enforced and after that only enough money will be collected to maintain in absolute perfection, these little but universally expanded roads. Each county must build an average in length, of 80 miles of dummy lines at an average seeming cost of say about $300,000 to be paid in twenty years, or, in rich counties, in five or ten years. The average annual payment of the poor er counties will be about 815,500 (sinking fund and interest) a sum always growing practically less for each tax payer with the annual rap id increment of wealth and popula tion and necessary diversification of industries. PALPABLE RESULTS. If the poor of the U. S. may trav el and ship and buy at untarriffed prime cost, tramps will be no more, capitol instead of labor will bear burdens of pensions and of govern ments, then reduced in cost from maxima to minima. Industry, stim ulated by proper rewards, instead of being robbed, by law as to-day, to destitution, will specially make this the richest and most prosperous of the nations. OPPOSITION. Not long ago, Mr. Jno. Inman, the Magnus Apollo of the Richmond and Danville Terminal (intermina ble) system of railways, was saying that tho South has too many rail ways and that none should be built- He was talking as the owner of mil lions of railway stocks and bonds and telling tho truth from his Pon Sto. More and cheap roads would lessen the cost of getting the cotton crop to Europe by twenty millions a year, saved to farmers now paid to rail ways. It doesn’t signify aught to our Phoebus Apollo that farmers must maintain teams, wagons and drivers to haul cotton bales an aver age of forty miles, over dreadful corduroy and worse dirt roads. It signifies nothing to these railway speculators that unless the universal dummy or electric system be institu ted there can be no diversification of Southern farming industries and productions. Vegetables, eggs, to matoes, chickens will bear wagon transportation, five miles to a Chicago or New York car “switch ed” off on a dummy line and freigted and returned in a few hours from the inter-country to the great inter state railway. It is only the long, and never short dirt roads that be come impassable. Only a few teams and wagons use the short roads and there will be a highway from every neighborhood to every dummy or electric car station and these may be every few hundred yards. The dummy roads are for the people; the watered stock roads are for Wall Street and Mr. Inman may tell the truth when he says that no more “railways” should bo built in the South. Very certainly we want no more based on watered stocks on which freight and passengers and toil must pay watered freight and passenger rates. But the South does badly need cheap roads, built for and owned by tho people. Mr. Inman manages his great watered stock roads in the interest and for tho aggrandizement of the stock and bond-holders; coun ty courts, representing the people, will levy the least possible rates of toll as Inman does the highest possi ble and it is greatly to be feared that all the Inmans and all their employ ers and engineering authorities will oppose the perfection of the univer sal steam or electric car dummy line. Each county will build first that line, within its own borders that gives it connection with the cheap road of tho adjacent county. In debtedness for the whole number of miles to be buiit by each county does not accrue at once. It may be distributed, as the perfection of the system progresses through a series of years. ALREADY BEGUN. Dummy lines project from Bir mingham, Alabama, in every direc tion to neighboring towns and villa ges. It only remains for the steel rail works of that city to begin the manufacture of highest and cheapest steel rails, and, perhaps, of cross-tics of steel or iron as well, that the de struction of forests and occurrence of floods may be prevented. There is no possible means of preventing the speedy universality of adoption and use by the people of the only description of highways that we can build and hold down thus prevent ing their consolidation and perver sion to uses of terrible trusts and more ravenous corporations. Each of these roads, ministering to the profitableness of every other, is self sustaining. The success of the whole scheme is more certain, as it becomes more expanded. The farms of each county becomes practically equally near great inter state highways leading to great “foreign” cities and every farmer, whether far from or near the inter state railway will pay on the dum my lines the same rates of travel and transportation. For all distances, within the county, passenger rates will never exceed ten or twenty cents or freight rates a penny a ton a mile. THE AUGMENTED PRODUCTION. Augmented production will dou ble and quadruple volumes of freight and numbers of travellers. Whether these seek exit from the county on the old or new system of roads, must depend on freight and passenger rates of the two systems and I can’t help thinking that the Gould-Inman long lines iqust reduce rates of trans portation. If the dummy roads take cotton to Mobile for fifty cents, nobody will pay $5 to have a bale taken to New York. The reason this becomes indistinctly visible, why the great trusts and corpora tions and their managers want no more railways in the South, and equally palpable is the reason why the people of the South must have a perfect universal system of the cheapest possible dummy lines. THE SCHEME IS INAUGURATED. Already do dummy lines extend outwardly, in all directions to coun try and mining towns, from Bir mingham, Alabama, the source of cheapest steel rail and other road-building supplies. The mills and furnaces of this place are now assured of a market for all the steel they can produce for the next ten years and everybody sees how these cheap roads will invert the commer cial map of the United States and that the South will save from thirty to fifty millions annually in the cost of exporting its cotton crop alone. And then behold results of the construction of these dummy lines when the Florida Ship channel con verts that paradise into a Calypso’s island and Senators Morgan of Ala bama and . Stanford of California have compelled the construction of the Nicaraugua canal uniting the Ship channel across Florida at Mo bile Bay! That floods in the valley of the Mississippi may be shorn of destructiveness, the Arkansas and Red and other Western rivers may be diverted into the Sabine as was done by the mound-builders and the Tennessee will discharge its super abundant floods through another Ship channel, into Mobile Bay. Where these three canals meet, there will be found the cheapest coal, iron, steel, cotton, wheat, rice, sugar, ba con and beef in the world. When the nations come to London to buy, they are not compelled to pay duties on the goods with which they would pay for other goods purchased, j They buy and sell or barter in a free market and therefore all the world goes to London. It is a Free Trade City as this must be, at the head of .Mobile Bay made forty feet deep. We will undersell London in all staple commodities even as Birming ham iron will soon drive that of En gland and Scotland out of Glasgow and Liverpool. All tho nations will come to buy where they can buy most for the least money and the “people” of tho United Stases, with cheapened internal transportation, can undersell all tho nations and still grow rich. Wo only ask to be given an equal chance with London ers. Don't put a Chinese wall about us. Tax capital, instead of toil and myriads are living who will see the Banks of England and France trans ferred to the World’s commercial Me tropolis, built by the universaldum my line system and tho three great canals that must revolutionize routes of the world, trade and invert the commercial map of the United States.
