DR. J. W. HINTON
AT MULBERRY
Ho Preaches an Eloquent .and Able
Sermon Yesterday to a Large
Congregation.
‘ARE YE ALSO DECEIVED?”
Was Ills Theme, and on This Ground-
work lls Based a Logical andTell*
liif ArgumsaiTliat Mads a
Pssp luiprssslon on Alt
Mulberry Street Methodist church
was welJ.filled yesterday morning ty
an intelligent congregation who listened
attentively to an eloquent and able ser
mon delivered by Rev. J. W. Hinton,
D.D.
Dr. Hinton Is one of the most eru life
and forcible pulpit orators In the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, and
whenever it Is knownthat he will preach
there Is always a* large congregation to
hear him.
Dr. Hinton began his remarks by quo
ting his text as follows:
"Are ye all deceived? Have any of
tho rulers, or of the Pharisees believed
bn him? John vll: 47-8.
"The text expresses neither dogma or
duty, neither precept or promt*©. It
opens for discussion the chan>cier and
claims of the founder cf Christianity.
Opposition to Jesus In hia own day was
loud and fierce, in our time, though
much uba*.?d. it is strong if not aggress
ive I atwuys stand for Jesus whoever
<«r w mi levet may Oppose. His is the
noblest name in Mstory—the grandest
theme for cralora, painters and poets. '
"Hostility to Christ Jn his own day
mAy be explained so fun as to warrant
some abatement bf censure; pleas in
extenuntlon might have been made then
which are of no force now. Rending

of attitudes aniong the people. 'He
ctrnt unto. hit. town and his own re
ceived him. not*—-then it is said, ‘tho
common people hoard him gladly.' Mul
titudes' followed him one day and lis-
©•Mea Mm* thi * next. Such disputes
were natural, and will always .occur
about men and measures. He was re-
jemied as a curious Impostor, dv*serv-
ing cxecnitlun; then the fickle multi
tude, rising to a pitch of lofty.admin
tion, sought to give him a crown. Alas!
for popular opinion. While I do not
despise It I do not regard it more than
the* veering forever turning by agencies
that defy understanding.
"Arguimnt, derision, denunciation
were arraigned ngamut Jesus—finally
an Appeal wun rnadeto the ultima ratio
Mifen foTfi i th#. las# Argument of
kings. A force was sent to arrest Jesus,
but returning without tho desired pris
oner, they only reported—‘never mnn
spake like Uil3 man.’ The authorities
reply: ‘Are ye also deceived? Have

How are we to explain nil this discord
and vacillation—defeat and victory.
Jesus had an humble origin, and his
authority seldom asserted, was slowly
recognized. He gradually evolved his
character and claims, having n • prestige
to give hint immediate ascendancy. He
did mr appear In itoval grmdcur, iis
tradition taught to reign in Jerusalem
with glory nobler than that of' David
and Solomon. Christ delivered no elab
orate and Imrnel dis oiii^'s--he w in
neither philosopher, poet or or» *»r. ills
mind was like a knteidoscopo; at every
turn the little hits of glass give us a
new and variegated plctirre. The very
silence of his fees. In a literary ora, be-
comaa a* potent os affirmative evidence.
The primary facts of tho Christian sys
tem, alleged to‘ be true could easily
have been disproved had they been
false. In an enlightened age to allow
a fraud of great moment to be. unex
pected, this Is not In accord with reason
or naturs. Christianity claims to be
founded on thlji corner stone—tho resur-
reetibn of fhrHt from th.- d.-ad. If this
Is not true the whole syr«tem is a tlisuc
of falsehood—a fabric of fallacies.
Could nny combination of men. Intent
on deception, make our people believe
that Lincoln. Grant or Leo' had risen
from their tomt* In face cf the njvtrst
testimony of the Htousands who have
known them? Such is my case consid
ered ns to our own era, but nlnntf?n
hundred y«»rs ago this was not exactly
the postlirt of affairs.
Th** man J**sus had nj>pettrerL
Whether he whs Indeed the Christ was
an open question and very perplexing.
There were apparent and divergent
signs, which as usual led to conflicting
opinions. Some people of easy credu-
ity believed, but the dlgmv'arlea de
rided. Public opinion was in a state
• »f wo rider, Inquiry and agUailon. At
times men would forget his lowly ori
gin while enraptured with what they
saw and -heard, and they would ask:
“When Christ cometh will he do more
miracles thfcn these*which this man
Wash done?’’ Adversely we would hear:
“Have uny of <he scribes or of the
Paamtet bctttvtd on him?" Again,
“Who art thou?" ‘‘What think ye of
Jesua?" One day they sang hosanna,
Lie next they cried crucify him! Cru
cify him! It was *a high tide and a
deeper ebb. Whence all this confliot?
Men judged Jesus by the criteria at
Hand, according to knowledge, l>y tra
dition. by prejudices, by aprlort con
ceptions of what a saviour should be,
br •poatsoH vbvi ti io lbs. voids ot
Christ’s religion it accepted. And thus
Judging, tbdr verdicts were discord
ant. From his ©oantrynm «tme the
cry, Jieut Is the enemy of Moses, an
Innovator, a revolutionist. We hav
said they, a re l iglon many centuries
old; creed and code hUve been crys
tallised clear and solid; it roust not
be disturbed. Their very uwdUtons
were more sactod than thelf written
laws. Impious the men who uttered de
nunciations of these lofty pretensions.
Error often intrenches behind the bul
warks of antiquity. Men reverence
that which Is old and dread thru which
!# new. Crudities and absurdities of a
vfa-k age stand firmly os pyramids.
Timid minds fear to remove a brick
from the edifice for fear the whole edi
fice will totter end topple into ruin.
Jesus had no respvot for shat class of
minds, and hi return they had none

burned them In hi* fiery logic- He

are essential to all advancement. The
people were often Hvvaysd by him. The
dlgotSwJcs would say wihat does this
prove? Are not the common people al
ways the victims of fraud and falla
cies? The people are under a delusion.
“Are ye also deceived? Have any of
the rulers or of the Pharisees believed

Look to the lofty, not «he low if you
would be wise. These men of high de

it was the 'dignitaries of the church
who persecuted Christ unto death. Ar
rested, tried, con lemnyii, crucified, his
.disgrace and defeat seemed signal und
overwhelming. It was apparently -the
Waterloo of OhrUdlanity—'Napole->n
prostrate and his army dismayed and
dispersed by an irretrievable disaster.
The dagger of Brutus brought death
to Caesiir in the Roman senate, burl
the bloody deed did not check Impend
ing revolution. The tragic death of
Lincoln immensely augmented the
strength of his panty»* There is no
storm without a calm, and 6fteu there
is no calm without first-a storm. The
hour of Christ's ttefs&t woa the .Very
acme of his triumph. "Now is the son
of mUn glorified. If I be lifted up I
will draw -all men unto me."
Objection and opposition were not
confined to the suited class which ut
tered the text. Af.:*-r th-ls date the op-
probiinn of the system was the cruci
fixion; the doctrine, of the necessity of
faith in Jesus 1n order to salvation.
This was “to <chs J«vs a stumbling
block end to the Grefeks foolishness/*
It was. Indeed, h severe exaction on
the Jewish -irtlnd to tell them they
rnu*t -believe in hS-m whom they had
slain for blasphemy. This demanded
an entire reversal of all their previous
opinions and required the admission
that they had been gulky of atrocious
crime In killing an innocent man who
was indeed the Messlah—God’s an
notated. Hard was It to take this alti
tude; hence Jesus had fewer disciples
after the crucifixion -than before. Cer
tainly this was a painful posture of af
fairs.
But what was the attitude of the
Greeks? To their proud minds this
scheme of rellgipn seemed contemptible
for its folly^ By *vhe«e people -the
apostles were received iwlth laughter
and soorn. Never was a doctrine taughit
more easily perverted Into absurdities;
yet never was a dogma preached tha»t
had a more poten>t philosophy. Even
the crudest form of the sacrifice of
Christ, the least dc-fenaRnt vlenv. has
always had a ehaitm amounting to the
marvellous. The logical ooncluslons
have not followed the premises, yet the
world hhs gone after Jesua. And this,
from a firm belief In the literal substi
tution of Jesus for sinners—millions of
souls have found the best comfort in
this legal fiction. No mat/ter n« to the
reasoning, the fact remains they have
gone after Christ.
That which waa at first so offensive to
•the Jew and to the Gentile has In *ihe
ruh of years become -the most potent
view to enlist followers. Such 06 have
assailed Christianity from the oppro-
b4um of tbs cross have "prevailed
narhlng;" nethaps they have been real
helpers In Wa cause. Christianity as an
ethical code has high claims, but In
•this regard it Is^not sufficiently UIs-
tlnctLvc to make greaC Mon quests; it Is
creed more chan code ihat -has mi’e
Che world to go after Jesus. Christian
ity is .remedial, and men no moire stop
to analyze the contents of the scheme
than do the sick wait <111 a chemical
analysis Is made before submitting a
medical prescription. It is enough to
know that faith In Christ, in his death
and life, brings deliverance from fear
and sin. Objection is made Co Chris
tianity because It Is related to history
and doctrines whWh are nqt of Its es
sence. tM40 refuse to credit the dreary
history of the-.Jeius, and the account
of /transactions hwjjhe remote past, as
If Christianity nnisNstand or fall by
the higher criticism orvthe discoveries
of science. No matter What may be
said on such matters by the wise or
the foolish, such things are rio<t Chris-
ttarUty.
As Us name imparts, Christianity is
uho system of /truth taught by Jesus—
crcdemla and agenda, dogma and duty.
It m>ay be objected 'that Christianity
deserve* opposition beams Jesus
taught human depravity. Indeed, he
did emphatically; but Us truth does
not depend on ah is teaching—it is not
itrue because (taught in the New Testa
ment; It Is there because It is true.
The fact Is made evident aside from
revelation. If the doctrine of depravity
Is not true Christianity Is a fiction and
a fraud— ove-rywhore It is assumed
when not asserted. Deny this and the
pyramid has no base, but stands on its
apex. Hence the futllty of such objec
tion. I< Is the remedy the world seeks;
it is already painfully conscious of the
disease, and the effort to find a cure
turns the world after Jesus. Herein Is
Christianity unique, for no rival sys
tem even pretends to make this
nchlevomertt.
There are other dogmas that excite
opposition. Jesus make* a full revela
tion concerning tho future, leaving the
world rro longer in vague and errone
ous conjecture, crushed with the incu
bus cf superstition. Future e<i3tcnce
Is not indeed a dogma peculiar to Chris
tianity: for ancient and modern pagan
nations have lboked with mingled fears
and hopes U) another state of b^lng be
yond oaixh and time. Still it remained
for Chrtat to teach the discrimination
of character which fixes destiny; and to
so array the danger and damogv* of iln
us to Induce effort to avert this doom.
Still, the human heart depraved ns It
Is, does not readily re:rive the stsrn
deminds of God's tow. and its dreadful
threatenlnga.
But Jesus pre«ent*l this awful subject
in such vivid colors ns to (Muse ictlon,
othemvif*? impossible. The attractive
forces of Christianity ought tb be consid
ered. It Is sustained by the teaching of
a remedy for sin nor found elsewhere
or anywhere. The first great need of
the human mind, iti order to it« con
trol. Is the dlacbvery cf the* »x1«<?nce
and chiracter of God; and Jesus his
settled this by the revenlment of Ms be
ing and attributes. What was the
atonement. Its real essence? It was n
Dictorkil exhibition of Gcd’s ehiricter.
Another great force In- Christianity is
the dearness an/I fullness concerning
the furure. "Life and Immortality are
brought to light In the gospel." WUh
great earnestness our minds are C*r*ud
to tho hereafter. Here the of
the doctrine of the resurivffou must
