THE, PULPIT AN ELCQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. H. MARTIN, PH. D. T —— Subject: The Abundant Life. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Sunday morning, in the First Church of Christ (Disci-! ples), the pastor, the Rev. Herbert Martin, Ph. D., preached on “Religion and Life.” The text was from John 10:10:“I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” Dr. Martin said: Christ came not to teach a theol ogy primarily, if at all, but to give life, more life. He came to give life to others rather than live a self-cen tered life. I came that they may have life. He came to give life here ard now. His emphasis was upon the present life. He that hath the Son! hath life. Life in the future is a | coratlary to present life. To have life i here and now is the only guarantee, thejdnly possibility of future life. The value and need of religion for thespresent life are being emphasized to-day as at no time since the early' Christian era. This identification of religion and life tends to make re-‘ ligion a normal phenomenon in hu man experience. Religion bhas long suffered because of its almost ex clusive other-world emphasis. Its re moval to the future as the proper sphere of its activity, its other-world adyantages caused men to regard it as an abstract, vague and unreal, and to treat it as having little practical benefit for the present. Under such conditions religion would be disre garded, or, if accepted, it would be in an almost altogether objective way as a precautionary measure, and thus never become a vital element in the program of daily life. The normal man is intensely interested in the present, and in the sweet by-and-by. only as it is related to his present interest. .If religion is to cut any real figure in this life it can do so only as it links itself to and identifies rtself with his present interests. And this religion is capable of doing, and is doing. The Master identified Himself with the life of the people; in fact, He came that He might give life to the people. 3 o The same hopeful sign is diszovera- : ble in the educational world. Com-! pare the curricula of the schools and colleges of other days with those of to-day and how evident is the differ ence. Education as' preparation for living in the far future, even of the present life, does not and never did appeal to the normal mind unless the appeal was effected through a liberal application of physical force. Since the days of Rousseau education as mere preparation has gradually and beautifully fallen into disrepute. Ed ucators have discovered the practical 1y complete absorption of the child in the present. They have discovered, furthermore, that even the young child must live while being.educated, and that as such it must enjoy certain rights. As a result of these discov eries education is no longer a mere formal process whose goal is utterly remote from the present life inter ests. Education aims to equip the student for present living since he must live while he is in process of being educated. You cannot take a boy of fifteen yvears and educate him for some position at thirty and ex pect him to fill that position satisfac torily if you wholly disregard the fact that he lives and must live from fifteen to thirty. Modern education takes note of this and seeks, while looking toward the future, to qualify the student in the largest way to live the fullest life in the present days and by so living will he be able to realize those future expectations. In addi tion to form, education gives content, or better, to-day minds are formed and fashioned by giving them a con tent. Education and religion seek to vitalize the present and out of it to make possible the future. Their aim is one, inspired by the Master, to give more life. Jesus came with life for the peo ple and brought it to the people. He sought the people. He went out af ter them instead of waiting for the people to come to Him. His life was one of faith in God and service to and among men. He came to min ister, and did minister. He came to give life and He gave it every day. The life of men was being enriched and ennobled as He gave Himself, His life to them each day. The giv ing of His life on the cross was, from this point of view, the final act of that life which was, par excellence, the life-giving life. Organized re ligion is beginning to go out after and to the people. Churches have long since ceased to be built whose entrances are guarded by iron gates and padlocks. “Strangers welcome,” that condescending phrase, does not appear so frequently on our church signs. Religion has girded herself for service. She is working in the Young “Men’s and Young Women’s Christian Associations, and is found in settlement and slum work. Her voice ig heard in the factory noon-day meetings, on the street corners, in the theatres and in all the busy haunts of men. Organized religion is hearing the Master's voice, is cateh- | ing His inspiration who said, “I came I that they may have life.” 8o of edu cation. It is being given to the peo ple. It is no longer the peculiar privilege of the few. The people are being sought out and compelled to be educated. Education is for the peo ple and is being given to the people. Education aims to give more life te the individual, and more life for more individuals. It is true that knowledge enlarges one’s world and contributes to his survival. His hori zon is widened, his ideas and ideals are enlarged, he discovers a deeper meaning in things, life takes on other and better aspects; in short, he pos sesses a larger life. This larger life, more life, is becoming possible for more individuals. While this is true, there remains yet much to be desired in our public schools, high schools and colleges. Let us remember that in our system the higher the grade the fewer the pupils; that out of one hundred pupils who enter public schools only twenty-five stay long enough to read and write; that only twenty out of one hundred stay longer than the fifth grade; that less than one out of one hundred who enter eur public schools graduate from the | high schools; that a small proportion | of high school graduates enter col-| lege, and that a small percentage of those who enter college remain until graduation; all this in the face of the fact that our system is graded largely toward the university. If ed ucation gives life it should give more life to a greater number of indi viduals. Jesus taught that the ninety and nine that were safe within the told could not furnish an excuse for the neglect cf the one that was away. With these tiings in mind should we rest content with that system which saves the one to the neglect of the ninety and nine? ' To preduce such a result, no one cause is adequate. It has been fre quently said, and with truth, that the course of study does not have suf ficient vital contact with the life and interest of the pupil, and consejuent ly, because of its lack of intervst for him, fails to hold him. Rapid pro gress, however, is being made in our own city toward the correction of such undesirable conditions. Anoth er cause, more deep-seated and more serious, is the growing commercial spirit of the day. The dollar is the circle of life. Men sell the.r own souls and put under tribute their children’s for dollars. There is great need for resolute struggle against the allurements of dollars. Too many L altars are being builded to the god of gold; too many souls are being sacri ficed upen these altars. It is hard, ves, well nigh impossible, to trans mute commercial ideals, dollars and cents into more abundant life. : Our course of study may well neeld revision, may require a radical change in content. But our greatest need is larger and truer ideals established firmly in the hearts and minds of our boys and girls. A greater emphasis must be placed upoua moral and ideal than upon material and commercial values. The voice in defense of the child’s inalienable rights, his heritage of meral and religious ideals, should ring deep into the hearts of parents, Parents need to learn that the dollar is not the goal of life, that the child is more than the victim of a parent’s base ideals; that he is more than a money-making machine. They need to learn that the child has a self-hood to be developed, a soul to be cultured, and a destiny to be achieved. To take a child out of school and compel him to earn money is to deny him his rights, is ta degrade him. For parents to do so is selfish, brutal, im moral. I repeat that one of the great est evils that threaten our nation is iour too complete allegiance to com mercial ideals. Our mad' rush for gold makes us a nation of individuals rather than a democracy. Christ says, “No man liveth unto himself.” In New York it sometimes seems as though every man reversed that prin ciple. Individualism is a menace to the life of the republic. There is, as never before, a crying need for parents and teachers to exalt moral and spiritual values; a need to de throne the god of gold and to re enthrone the God of old; a need to engrave upon the very physical and spiritual fiber of the child’s nature the exceeding, the incomparable worth of moral character. Parents themselves need to possess and prop erly estimate these ideals and then to instill them and give them first place in the hearts of their children. Such ideals of truth and righteousness, im plying as they do a profounder sense | of social obligation, will contribute in the highest degree to the enrichment -.-i)t- human life, to a more abundant ife. A - . Mighty possibilities are resident in the teacher’s vocation because of the: material with which he works. Eter nal consequences follow therefrom. The true teacher spends little time waiting for pay day to come. His is a worthier work than that of a mere wage earner. He is a maker for social betterment, not a mere hire ling. As with the preacher, right eousness is his concern; with God he is a co-worker. That our teachers might feel that they are called of God and are doing God’s work, there was & Man sent from God who was named Teacher. He Himself says His mis sion was to give a more abundant life. That was His mission, that was His religion, that was His life. The religious aspect of the teacher’s work, tfirellglon of education, if you will, is'a subject worthy of more thought than it has received. While there is an imperative need for teachers with ideals, we must not forget that the ideals must be of pos sible attainment. We need, then, sane teachers, teachers balanced by perspective. False ideals, ideals he yond the realm of the possible, held up before the young, defeat the teacher’s purpose. Hold up before a boy an impossible ideal, making him struggle toward its realization until one day its utter absurdity dawns upon him, and with what result? His cherished idol falls and with it there come tumbling down all his ideal con ‘structs. In this day when our college presidents are little more than money gatherers, when our school principals are little more than clerical workers, there is a positive need for teachers with lofty ideals, but ideals within the realm of possible achievement, Impossible ideals'made for lawless ness rather. than for righteousness and the betterment of life. We need, finally, to rediscover the meaning of life, to learn that a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things that he possesses. We need to rediscover the fact of God, and that in Him we live and move and have our being. He is the source of our life and to find Him is to find fuller life. There is need to re-em phasize the fact of Christ as the Re~ véaler of the true life which is the life of service. The life of the world has received a n2w impulse in Him. His faith and practice were that the only way to find life is to give life. Christ gave His life in deeds of loving service even unto death that the life heritage of humanity might be en riched. He thus emphasized in teach ing and in life gocial obligation. For Him every enriched life was an in creased social asset. From Him we learn that the inheritance of life into which we have come must be gshared with our fellows and passed on to others enhanced in value by reason of our participation. To give life is to make life more abundant. A Test, If any of you should die to-day, could you say to God, “Lord, here is my Jife-work.
