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.

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?

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.

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.

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 fv*r him. He exposed their errors; burned them In hi* fiery logic- He penevl urn- truths wholly Incongruous rl£i surreiu traditions and supemi- 1 H'Sidi'y was thus arousal and 8o if th^ fate of all r-*f wm- r*.

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 b" estimated.
