JESUS TO THE
WOMEN OF SAMARIA.
Trte Worship is Independent of
Holy Places.
ny W. E. H. BEARCY.
Sbalmsneea, king of Assyria, carried
away as captives all the people of Sa
maria, except the old, the decrepid,the
sick and the helpless who were not
able to undertake the long journey of
tbe captivity. The king then filled up
Samaria with Babylonians, Cutbeans
and other idolitors from his domin
ions. In time these new comers im
bibed tbe religion of the people left be
hind, and all Samaria became wor
shipers of God.
Subsequently, when tbe Temple at
Jerusalem was being rebuilt, these Sa
maritaus offered to assist in tbe work,
but their offers were all rejected. Tbe
Jews looked down upon them with de
rision
Great stress was placed upon tbe
“Holy Place,” and the Jew, no matter
where he might be, faced towards tbe
temple in his beloved Jerusalem,
whenever be went to bis devotion.
The Samaritans were not to be out
done. They erected a temple of their
own on Mount Gerezim. A great ann
tipathy arose between these two peo
ples. '
This much as introductory.
Now, Jesus, in passing through Sa
maria, became weary and sat down to
rest on the curb of Jacob’s well. While
there he bad a conversation with a
woman of Samaria, who had come to
draw water, details of which may be
found in tbe fourth chapter of the
gospel by John.
During this conversation,the woman
having perceived that Jesus was a
prophet, raised tbe same old question
of tbe temple worship. How natural
it was that now, having a prophet of
God before her, she should say : “Our
fathers worship in this mountain, but
ye say that in Jerusalem is the place
to worship.”
That raised tbe question, and, as Je
sus was a Jew, she doubtless expected
to get into an argument over the old
question. But tbe Master said : “Wo
man, believe me, the /hour cometb
when ye shall neither in this moun
tain, nor yet at Jerusalem, shall ye
worship the father ; but all true wor
shiped shall worship the father in
spirit and truth, for God is a spirit.”
Spiritual worship, in sincerity, was
to take the place of the Jewish and Sa
maritan forms and rites,and anywhere
on earth was to be a place as holy as
the Mountain of Gerizim, or even tbe
Temple of Jerusalem.
When Jesus was crucified, we are
told that the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from top to bottom,
though it was sixty feet long and very
thick, confirming what Christ had told
the Samaritan woman, and theieafter
the hearts of men were the only alters
from which incense should arise to the
throne of grace forever.
Is it not a little singular that while
tbe Jews and the Samaritans were
very deeply interested in their dispu
tations about their “holy places,” that
the Ancient and Accepted Order of
Masons was placing before its mem
bers a pot of incense, as an emblem of
a pure heart always acceptable to
deity ; and taught thereby that as it
glowed with fervent heat, so should
their hearts continually glow with
gratitude to the great benificent au
thor of their existence for the manifold
blessings and comforts they enjoy. We
do not set upMasonry with tbe church*
for it does not come in competition
with the church ; we simply contrast
its teachings with tbe narrow views
of formalists, who had tbe light but
saw it not.
We believe it right to build houses
and consecrate them to God for relig
ious uses and purposes; but they are
simply places wuere worship may be
performed, and are not apart of the
worship itself. True worship consists
of spiritual adoration from sincere
hearts. It is the ascension of incense
from glowing hearts, as tbe Masons
express it. God cannot be confined
with brick and mortar to any particu
lar place, for tbe time had come when
neither sacred Jerusalem nor holy Ge
rizim, with their magnificent temples,
could contain His glory.
We regret that even in these en
lightened times there are some who
have the seclusiveness of tbe Jew, in
shutting out of their houses of worship
other Christians. They will not give
up tbe idea of tbe holy temple, though
tbe veil of the great temple has been
rent. They cling to an ideal past,
when an ideal future beckons them
forward to a higher and nobler truth.
The highest, holiest place in this
world is tbe human heart where God
reigns, and tbe grandest temple is tbe
body of that man who nearest aps
proaches God. Christianity teaches .
this and Masonry teaches it Those ,
who love Gpd and seek to worship
Him can reach Him wfthoul any
forms and ceremonies io any holy
places and without the aid of anything
extraneous io n sincere uplifting of the
spirit nature to the spirit God.
WOMAN’S FOREIGN
MISSIONS RY SOCIETY. :
BY THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIN 1
DISTRICT.
The bill appropriating $288,000 for pay
ment of damages to tbe publishing house
of the M. E. church South Las passed both
houses of congress and has been signed by 1
tbe president. This act of justice upon
the part of the federal government, though !
long delayed, is, nevertheless, highly ap- ;
predated. This snug sum is dedicated to
God and Will be utilized by our church
authorities toward the advancement of His
kingdom on earth.
Another item of good news is Dr. Mor
rison, one of our missionary secretaries,
has succeeded in raising money sufficient
to liquidate a large missionary debt which
for some time has been hanging over our
southern Methodist church. The Woman’s
Foreign Missionary Society did not help
create this debt,but rejoices to know that
it is being rapidly extinguished.
I
These are favorable omens. The sinews
of war are being strengthened for pushing
the battle to the gates of the enemy. Our
missionary decks are being “cleared” pre
paratory for action. “Tinje, place and
circumstance” are all favorable. The time
is now ; the place is the whole earth, for
“the world is our parish”; the circum
stances are those that surround all willing
and brave soldiers.
Methodism is said to be “Christianity in
earnest.” Its origin, nature, constitution
and past history indicate that Methodism
is committed to the evangelization of the
world. In the assumption of this mighty
and divinely imposed task the Methodist
church is friendly toward all denomina
tions of sincere Christians. The Meth
odist church is in “holy alliance” with all
bodies of active Christians who are seek
ing to conquer the world for Christ.
It follows as a logical sequence that a
member of the Methodist church cannct be
opposed to foreign missions with any de
gree of consistency. That is what our
church is for—to spread the gospel “far
and wide,” “from the nvy to the ends of
the earth,” “until all shall know the Lord
from tbe least to the greatest,” “at home
and abroad, on the land, on the sea.”
“All hail the power of Jesus’ name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.”
SIOO Reward, SIOO-
The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving’the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials,
