Sermon Delivered by Rev. W. S. K»-

“ A nd he brought him to Jesus."—
John 1:42.
The introduction of Christiani
ty as a force in the world, mould
ing the character anil tile of indi
victuals, amt influencing the char
acter and IHDmf peoples, was by
Ute activities of incarnate Divini
tv, and th« energies of those whom
lie ins| ired with His spirit. Prop
agandism was the motto on llte
bnnncr of our King Fhnaniiel, anti
it became Ike watchword of those
whom He vitalized. Christ was

simply a duty, something rwqaired,
but a privilege duty. It may lie
saitl that this is taking exalted
ground, but 1 am sure that it is
neither above nor in aJvancc of
what every Christian in a normal
state of mind ami heart feels to he
true. Who is driven by • dread
of Christ's authority to work for
the salvation of others, will not
be a winner of souls. 0, my fel
low laborers, in tlie Lord's vine

Jricen to. a task; but let us re
joice in our privilege so high, so
noble, anil so ennobling.

This gives us our starling [joint.
1. Tlie Christian principle is ac
tive in its own propagation.
To lie a Christian at all. is to
lie a propagator of Christianity.—
Extinguish the light of the sun,
anil that orb ceases to he the sun
of the universe. To lie tlie sun
it must give forth light. Salt sea
sons, and if it is wanting in that
quality it is not salt. The idea
of a Christian, without the spirit,
of propagandist!),isa monstrosity, 1 ,u '‘ cn "'<»e. 1 hat person, who
an unsci iutural myth. Such ’a takes his wealth and builds an or
pltanage, deserves the praises of
sisters, is fulfilling a nobler mis
sion than t!-.e highest executive ol
a state. When I see a young man,
whose mission is what 1 have de
scribed. I feel like grasping his
bund anti thanking God for such
young men. That patriot, who,
forgetful of his own personal inter
ests, devotes his great talents to
the upbuilding of his couttry, los
ing self in “the gicatest good to
the greatest number,” deserves a
richer diadem than ever king or

the spirit of propagandist!!.) can
lie repressed by error and the in

it cannot be suppressed. It may
be even disavowed by an in livid
u:.! Christian, hut when you ana
lyze a regenerated soul, you will
find the desire for the salvation of
others quivering in every nerve of,
tlie same. This desire for tlie sal
vation of others is inborn. It is
a prrt of the new life in Christ.—
It evidences the Christ within iis.
Yea, it is the Christ sentiment in
tlie new man. It was among the
first impulses of the apostles, who
brought their relatives and friends
to Christ.
The church at Jerusalem, when | draws a soul to
scattered abroad by persecution,
preached Christ wherever they |
went. No sooner did Paul feel
the weight of bis own sins fall
from bis heart—feel his whole be
ing tingling with the new life in
Christ, than did he go naturally
to exhorting others t > seek Christ
as a .Savior.
And it is so till yet. Sometimes
in endeavoring to remove the
doiibis of persous as to their own
salvation, 1 have fallen upon tiie
device of leading them out on the
salvation of others, and before
they were aware of what thev were
tioii than ever was lived on j
throne. When philanthropic men :
build a hospital, their names re
ccivc a charm that makes them
household words, and the poor
bless their names with their latest
breath. Ah. yes. he who lives to
do good to others in their bodies,
lives a high life—a noble life.—
But he who lives to bless men in
their souls, lives a h iff her. ho
blcr life. He who nurses a sick
person into health, may save a
body from death for a season; but 1
he, ivho, by the grace of God,
Christ for salva- j
lion, has, as an instrument in
God's hands, saved a soul from j
the horrors of eternal death. That i
philanthropy which touches the;
body only, is noble ami blessed, j
but that philanthropy which ;
reaches the soul is as far above it;
as heaven is above the earth. He j
who cares for the souls of men
cannot be iiidifiTercnt to the tem
poral wants \rf men, but men may j
care for the temporal without ear
ing for the spiritual and eternal.

never could have much sympathy
with the famous remark made by
Lord Wellington in response to
an inquiry, as to what he thought
of missions, “Pay attention to
your marching orders.” Welling
ton was a soldier, and obedience
i tigs, the salvation of sinful man.
There is nothing in this world 1
heyond salvation which benevo
lence can wish for; it embraces-
the highest good possible iu this
life. “For wc know that all things j
work together for gooil to them
that love God."
He who works for such a high
to rightful authority was his gran-: purpose, must absorb nobleness of
deal idea ot life; but tell me not'soul. The worlds noblemen arc,
that the Christian must he driven H»'«e who, by accident of birth or
by tbe authority of the Captain of freak o! fortune, fill n*j5 » R ;
his salvation into efforts for the »“'• m:l >' be ignoble in spirit,
salvation of others. Rather ict « l>'«r histories often prove; bu^
me see the Christian, all quivering'G<mI s noblemen ate those who ,
with desire for the salvation oL .'earn and work for the salvation

to His people, to propagate the I nize the nobility ol the hiiin >U*
gosi>eIof life and salvation, is Nazarenc, who li ved and died far;
raised into a kind of permission to I others. A man filled and control!
do the same, by that desire for ! «d by the same spirit, purpose anil
the salvation of others, which is ! enti.is noble, regardless of outwanl ^
made a part of our new life in ! ciicu instances, there is one am-.;
Christ. Does a school girl require ! biiion which terminates in j
the authority of her teacher to | " hicli it seems to me the Lord I
pluck the flowers on her pathway?! himself loves to see in His people.
Does a lover require the force ol j nod that is to ennoble one s own
character; and there is nothin^
which socnnolilcs character as a
life effort to subordinate business,
pleasure, wealllt, honor, talent—
II, wisely and prudently to the!
authority to make tokens of his
affection? Dues one with an all
consuming thirst for knowledge,
require the authority of his teacher
to take to his books? The author-, .
italive command may lie much to lone great aim, the salvation ol
a professional soldier or a hireling i others. Littleness of soul gives
soldiery, but it’s more to an army } place to magnanimity, selfishness
of volunteers, whose hearts arc ; place In generosity, and step
glowing with patriotism. Shall a J by step the sou! gravitates towards
Christian then, with his heart all
aglow with the desitc for the sal
ration of others, require the force
of authority to pray and work for
the salvation of others? Ah! my
ftiends, this praying and working
tor the salvation of others vs not
Godlikcncss of character. Chris
tians. give full scope to this God-
implanted desire for the salvation
of others, and ennoble your char
acters for heavenly association.
4 Now. lc-t its raise the question.
“Who may thus devote their lives
to the salvation of sinners?”
1 answer, you mar. But Ton
say that you are too busy. Weil.
I own that business is very ab
sorbing, and requires close atten
tion, but bore, mv friend, it's a
significant fact that you have
foil ml tittle, in spile of your busi
ness to speak several words for
Gordon, or Bacon, (whichever is
your man.) since the campaign
opened. Well, did your business
suffer from il? Have yon lust a
•iekel by talking with Olivers oa
the great question as to who shall
occupy the gubernatorial chair
next? Now. it occurs to me that
yon could have a word with friends
r.s you meet them about tbevr per
sons! salvation, and at least let
them kqpw that you are interest
•■<1 .about so momentous a matter
without damage to your business.
If you lose nulhing from talking
politics. 1 see no good reason why
you should lose from talking sal
vation. 1 have known ol one mer
chant who made it a rule to speak
with customers about salvation,
where he could do so without be
ing offensive, anil every clerk knew
when a bundle of goods was wrap
[>ed up a tract was to be thrown
in. And that man won many,
many souls to Christ; and more;
than this, he prospered. My bro- j
titer, let me suggest that possibly,:
yen probably, you arc mistaken j
about being too busy to do any- j
thing for the salvation of others, j
Oh, that our God would tear this ;
blindfolding rag from off the eyes;
of business men, that tlu-y might
appreciate their privilege, anil see
their splendid opportunities.
But you say that you are not i
gifted lor that kind of work. 1a.-1 i
us see about that: You desire the i
salvation of sinners, if not. you :
ought not to claim to be a eltris- '•
tian. and that desire is the all im j
portant qualification. You desire j
your children to study and be- |
nine educated, and yon have aj
Uiti-ni tongue and line reasoning t
[lowers when you are urging your
child on to the goal. Now. if you i
desire v our child's salvation above \
all else, why could you not talk on j
that subject just as fluently and
earnestly? Can you tell why? I!
can't. Let me put another qncs-j
tion here, by way of parenthesis: |
From the talks which you have;
had with your children, which do
you suppose they think you to Le
the most concerned about, their
education and well being in this;
world, or their ralvation? Not fit- i
ted. Not gifted for that kind of!
work! You can talk about the j
crops intelligently—about rail |
road schemes, about Gordon's res-i
ignalton, and Bacon's resignation,!
about the last | arty, about the la
test styles, about your blessed
child when it is sick, and every
thing i l»e but tiie nil important
matter, salvation. My fiictnt. is
it not possible that you are mista
ken about not being fitted to talk
about Christ and His salvation?
Reason about il as you would rea
son about other matters, and see
if il isn't a ini-judginc-nt of yonra.
But, you say, your life is so ir
regular, tlint anything you might
say would have no weight. Alt.
well, if you mean to say that your
morals arc not above those of the
worldling, then I lake it all back,
and say that you ought not to
talk salvation lo others; for I re
member that Christ said, “Except
your righteousness shall exceed
tlie righteousness of the Scribes
and l’liarisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
But you do not mean exactly that.
You only mean to say that you
make such a poor out at living a
Christian life, and feel so unwor
thy that you hesitate in talking to
others about the matter of salva
tion.
Well, you need not talk about
yourself, and your imperfections:
talk about Christ, and llis glorious
salvation, and your friends’ need
of that salvation, and vmir very
feeling of tinwurthiuess will give
what you say a power which no
amount of self righteousness could
give it. If you wait till you feel
holy,you will never win a soul to
Christ. Anil what a sad. sad
thought is that of going up to meet
the Savior without being able to
[joint to a single soul as one who
was in some measure brought to
Christ by your efforts! Nothing
but leaves. Who, who, would
meet Christ with nothing bntl
leaves? No one saved in connec- j
tion with your prayers and labors, j
will make tlie coining of tlie Sav- j
ior a day of sadness, rather than j
one of gladness. Think of llicint- |
mortality of the soul; think of
the horrors of the infernal place, j
think of the glories of heaven. I
think of the death of Christ, and
His great desire for the salvation
nt sinners, and remember how the
salvation of one soul will glorify
the name of Christ throughout all :
eternity, and then remember that'
God proposes to use you iu bring j
ing sinners to Christ tor salvation,'
and tell, me if you can be indiffer
ent to this high mission—this
glorious privilege?
A poor widow who had passed
from better days to worse, retired
one night on a bed of straw in one
corner of her but, and whilst the
cold winds howled about the rick
ety house, and her own mind was
grievously afflicted with thoughts
about her ruin, Iter little boy got
up close to her and saiil in all his
childish pathos: “Mamma ain't
you sorry for little children that
have got no straw to sleep on?"
O! ye sons anil daughters of God,
who sleep in tlie ln>[«c of heaven,
through Christ, and revel in the
peace and pleasure of that hope in
the day time, if a little boy could
feel fur those who bad no straw, as
lie did, to sleep on, wliat must you
feel towards those who hare no
such blessed hope of salvation to
cheer their lives! What ought we
to do for t Item? What can we do
lor them? We can pray anil talk,
and preach and give, and work,
and these things ire icill do, and
the God of salvation will give- us
souls for our hire.
