the WORLD'S TRUE LIGHT.
REV. S. W. ROGERS’ SERMON AT
SEVENTH STREET CHURCH.
1 Large Congregation Listened to
the Kloqnent Diponrr-**ChrUt
the True Light Which Lighteth
Every Man That Cometh Into the
World/’ the Preacher** Teil-The
Meaning of the Apostle John Ex
plained.
Rev. 6. W. Rogers of Columbus preach
ed at the Seventh 8 reet Methodist
Church last night before a large congre
gation. Dr. Rogers is a preacher of ab.l
ity and his sermon held the closest in
terest of his congregation. His subject
was “The True Light.” from the text,
“That was the true Light which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.”
“What does the apostle mean?” asked
Dr. Rogers. “Is he indulging in wild hy
perbole. or is he speaking the words of
truth and soberness? At the wilting of
the text St. John, though a poet of the
first water, had passe i the heyday of
youth, when hyperbole is the favorite
figure, and was in extreme old age. His
gospel was wrPten A. D. 97, even after
Revelation, which succeeded all hi- other
hocks. The figure in the text may be
metaphor, but certainly not hyperbole.
Det us trace the mean ng of his meta
phor.
“The Gospel according to S . John
commences with a spiritual para
phrase on the first chapter of
Genesis. Let us compare the two para
graphs. Moses says, 'ln the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.’
John pays, ‘ln the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.’ The same was in
the beginning with God.
“Moses says, ‘And the earth was a
waste and a desolation; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the
waters. And God said, i>et there be light.”
and there was light. And God saw the
light, that it was good.’ Note this:
that it was good.’ ‘And God divided the
light from the darkness.’ A scientific re
mark just here. The sun was the source
of that light just mentioned and was cre
ated on the first day. but was appointed
for erlgmtand seasons on the fourth day.
Bear this statement in mind when con
sidering our proposition concerning the
sun. Now. let us see how John gives a
spiritual signification to the foregoing
words in Genesis. He says. ‘All thing*
were made by him; and without him was
not anything made that was made. In
him was life; and the life was the light
of men. And the light shineth in dark
ness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.’
“I will now read the sixth, seventh and
eighth verses, closing with the ninth
\erse, from which my text is taken.
“ ‘There was a man sent from God whose
name was John. The same came for a
witness, to bear witness of the light,
that all men through him might believe.
He was not that light, but was sent to
bear witness of that light. That was the
true light, which liteth every man that
cometh into the world.’ Having exam
ined John’s spiritualized version and par
aphrase of the creation, we are now
ready for our first proposition. As
the sun lighteth every material
substance in the world, so Christ, the
Sun of righteousness, lighteth every man
that cometh into the world.
“From the sun we receive light, heat,
life, and from its actinic rays, chemical
force. The sun on the surface of the
earth has imprisoned its light in every ob
ject as insec is are imprisoned in amber,
and lander its magic stroke each object be
comes ‘a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever.' It is the great source of vegetable
and animal life. From its iridescent
paint-box of violet, indigo blue, green,
yellow, orange, and red, a world formless
and void has blushed Into the roseate
hues of Eden. Ii paints the flowers, land
scapes. and fruits. It colors the ceiling
of the firmament with cerulean blue and
carj>ets the earth with living beryl. It
literally gives us bread from heaven; for
the food which we eat is only transmuted
sunshine. The ruddy cheeks of adolescent
beauty are but sun spots—except when ar
tificial.
“Men and women are but animated sun
beams. Lot us hope that this literal
statement may be true in a figurative
sense of all around us—that they may be
sunbeams of love, scattering their rays of
kindness and cheerfulness on all whom
they meet. But the sun is also beneath
the surface of the earth. The philosopher
who puts more coal on his empty grate,
know’s that those lumps of coal are but
blocks of sunlight. Fire light, candle
light, gas light, and electric lights are only
borrowed solar rays. Prometheus-like we
have stolen fire from heaven and. witfc
that celestial fire have lighted our house
hold altars and marts of commerce.
The sun is the source of the
earth’s internal heat. In the dim
cycles of the past, caught by some
nebular tempest from the parent lumina
ry, those solar flames which erstwhile en
veloped a wor’.d, were whirled into their
Plutonic abodes, and now light their ta
pers on voicanlc peaks, and impress their
warm kisses on scoriae and lava.
“All thrs forces of nature come from
the sun. By the conservation of energy,
heat and electricity may be changed into
light, and that light comes from the sun.
A cyclone is light changed into solar fire
and that lire in its turn transformed into
motion. Thus the sun originates evil as
well as good; but the contradistinction to
its light, let us place Christ, the true
Light. Everything good in the word
comes from Christ; everything evil from
the non-Christ. Do not misunderstand
this statement; for what feeble human in
tellect sometimes calls good is not really
good. According to etymology, god and
good were originally the same word.
Under the hand of Providence, what we
consider evil may bo turned Into gpod,
things work together for good to
them’ that love God.’
“That was the true Light, which light
eth every man that cometh into the
world.”
“What does the text imply? It implies
the following corollary to our first proposi
tion :
“God has made provision for the salva
tion of every man, woman and ‘child In
the world.
‘‘lt Is not necessary to enter into an
elaborate discussion of this theorem, but
merely to hinge the assertion on a few
scriptural proofs. In Hebrews we are told
that Christ tasted death for every man.
I. John, chapter ii. verse 2. says, 'And he
is the propitiation four our sins; and not
for ours only, but also for the sins of the
whole world.’ Paul tells us that
In due time Christ died for
the ungodly. Christ Is called In Holy Writ
the Savior of the World. With these pas
ayes ringing In my ears I dare not
preach a restrlcte 1 or limited atonement;
for It is unwarranted by the word of God.
and a slur on the character of God.
It is not my province In this discourse
to inquire why men are lost, buts mply
t< stick to the text.

“How has He lightel the na'ions?
b irst, in the universal conception of
light and wrong. All nations have th s
light. The Egyptian ß , C-nvanites Baby
lonians, Chaldeans as well as the He
brews, had a ccn e;t on of right and
worng. Abraham voiced this universal
sentiment when he ehailerged Jehovah
Himself in his query, ‘Shall not the judge
of all th? earth do right?’ It is not our
p ace In this sermon to discus con
cience; for true consci nee involves the
i e:i of a Divine reve atfen. The light of
which we are sp aking is common to
Caucasians. M.ngoiar.s, Malays, Indians
and Negroes. It radiates from the co.-
sc ouen s* of Can when hs Lrothers
blood cried to him in voiceless agony
fiom the ground. It streamed from
the soul r.f Lady Macbeth
who. walking in her sleep the gloomy
watches of the night, said of her hand,
‘The smell of blood is on it,
and all the perfumes of Araby
will not sweeten tWs Utile hand.’ Sec
ond, how his Christ lighted the
nations. In their system of sacrifices.
A system of blood sacrifices was early
manifested among the nations. The Hit
tites, Hivites, Jebusites. and other na
tions driven from Canaan by the Israelites
—all offered their sacrifices with blood,
and so with all the othe } r nations of an
tiquity. The Hindoos, North American
Indians, and other peoples widely removed
from each other by climate and location
verify the giand scriptural truth, ‘With
out shedding of blood is no remission.’
There is a growing disposition in the pul
pits of to-day to minify the atonement
and stress only the life of Christ. Prag
matical pulpiteers! These theological
chameleons, like the Athenians of old, are
continually waiting for some new leaf or
flower of doctrine to be blown their way.
Let them rave over the ‘aesthetics and
harmonics' discovered in the life of
Christ, but as for me. give me the blood.
I preach the gospel of blood. Eliminate
the blood from the life of Christ and that
life becomes a dismal farce. Christianity
degenerating into mere hero-worship.
“Let us now consider the true Light un
der two phases: Chrlet ns a principle,
and Christ as a personality.
“This principle embodied in Christianity
reveals itself in thought, word and deed.
Dr Rogors then dealt with these points.
Dr Rogers dealt eloquently with the per
sonality of Christ and nis career on earth.
“The body of Christ is in heaven.” he
said, “but his omnipresent personality
continue* in spirit to light humanity. See
Christ lighting the Roman Empire. The
light burned through Judea, Samaria and
Galilee. It burned In the Roman prov
inces around Paiestine. It burned in Route
itself, until the disciples of the humble
Galilean could be found in the palaces of
the Caesar*.
“It seized on peasants end princes; the
rich, the poor; the learned, the un
learned. It burned Its way to different
countries of the Roman Empire, until
Spain. France. Italy, Greece, Asia Minor
and North Africa teemed with Christians.
“It burned on until Constantine sow in
the burnished clouds a crimson cross and
surrendered to that God. whose blood-red
letter* said .‘By tnls sign you conquer.’
It found its way to the Anglo-Saxon
heptarchy of Britain, being introduced
into the kingdom of Kent, through the in
fluence of Pertha. a Christian lady, who
had married Ethelbert the King. Soon it
had possession of England, being carried
there by missionaries from Rome. it
seems strange that any one should oppose
foreign missions, when we recollect that,
but for the faithful missionaries who
brought the gospel to our ancestors we
ourselves would be to-day In the depth
of heathenism. The true Light soon
burned into every nation of Europe; it
blazed in the deserts and on the coasts
of Africa; it shone on Asia; and when
America was discovered it lighted these
distant shores. Ii is shining to-day on
almost every nation. The morning light
of the millennium is breaking, when
China, Japan, and the Philippines will hail
Jesus as the Kng of Peace, and crown him
Lord of all; when Europe, Asia', Africa.
America, and the isles of the sea will be
christianized, and when every Christian
will let his light shine for Jesus.
” ‘That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh into the
world.’ Let th- false lights of atheism,
agnosticism, deism, higher criticism, and
every other sort of ism delude their fol
lowers. but Christ stands as a Pharos to
overpower their feeble rays and lighten
a world. Christianity is the power of the
ages. It is the dynamics of the universe.
It is dynamite and can overturn the loft
iest mountains of sin and ignorance. It
has planted schools and colleges In the
waste places, and the desert has be.n
made to blossom as the rose.
“Ah! how much the church of God needs
that power to-day. Wo speak of getting
religion as if we were getting a hat or
shawl. What we want Is to get Christ.
Get Him. Let Him take |ossession of
your heart; and then ihe woes, the heart
aches. that secret sorrow which none but
God has seen. the bitterness and the fret
ful fever of life, under His benign light
will sparkle lik- the gems of Golcondi.

MX MAY RETURN TO HER CELL.
Shocked by Notoriety Slie May Go
Rack to CloiMter Life.
From the New York Herald.
It is rumored in Babylon, L. I , that
Sister Cecilia, a cloistered nun of the
Academy of Mount St. Ursula, Bedford
Park, who kft (he convent a week or two
asro for the iirst time in forty-five years,
has teen summari y ordered back to her
cell.
Sister Cecilia's appearance in Ihe streets
of Babylon created a great deal of inter
est ar.d curiorl y on the part of the pub
lic. as she was loooked upon almost as
me risen from the grave. It had been
taken for granted for more than a gen
eration that she was entombed for life
behind the bars cf her clcister.
Before this wonder over her avatar in
the oally walks of life has ceased Baby
ion is again stirred by the rumor that
her superior, the Rev. Mother Dominic
Weiss, has ordered her back to her bars
and her asceticism.
Sister Cecilia was the daughter of the
late Bryan Lawrence cf tMs city, a finan
cier and pt.llanthrop'st Sie entered the
Ursuline Convent when she was seven
teen years old. and, living in strict com
pliance with the rigid regvla'lons of the
order, had not wandered beyond the bars
of her cloister for forty-five years.
It is reported that when show n th •
newspapfr publications about her reap
peatance in everyday life the Sister be
came so enraged that she was made 111
for two days, from nervous shock.
Father Daly, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral,
said lost night that Archbishop Corrigan
is at the retreat at St Joseph s Seminary
Dunwoody, near Tonkers, and that h>
is certain the Arcthishep has not ex
press and any opinion as to the Sleter Ce
c las departure from the convent
‘‘As to the ordering of (he Sister back
to her ce l.'' said Father Daly, ' that can
hnrdly be correct, as the Sisters of the
Uisullne order go Into their convents for
life. When they come on this side of the
1 ars of their cell It is for good and all.
Thfre Is no such thing as a vacation, or
a recess, or a tempoiary leave of ab
sence Their vows compel them to stay
within (he clcister for the remainder of
their live s.
‘‘This is not so great a hardshirt as It
sounds. It is not impossible, it It not even
difficult, to retire from th- convent, if
the Sist r sa desirts. If st e finds that she
i, no' fitted for or equal to the severe

her the privilege of passing to and fro

THE QUALITY OF JAPAN.

From the New York Tribune.
Some surprise Is reported (o be ex
pressed in Europe, even in England, at
the conduct of the Japanese in the opt r
aelons leading to the relief of the lega
tions at Pekin. II Is observed with as
tonishment that their commanders show

of the most highly civilized warfare, and
that their soidlers showed the most ap
proved valor nisi discipline. Moreover,
they were temperate and humane and,

The Kind You Have Always Bought
in brief, hey compared well with any ;
o:her troops in the world.
Our own surprise in the case is more
at this surprise than at the cause of It.
We had supposed that the war between
China and Japan had given the nations
of Europe a Just idea of the quality of i
ihe Japanese in welfare, and that the :
marvelous development and progress of I
that country in the arts and sciences and |
in the humanities had shown sufficiently :
the character of Japanese civilization. j
True, people have been saying 4hat Ja- ,
panese civilization is only skin deep, a
mere varnish over ineradicable barbar
ism. If so, the varnish seems to be un
commonly durable. It is weather-proof.
It does not wear off. You cannot, as a
rule, scratch a Jap and find a Tartar.
The prejudice ©gainst the Japanese and
this incredulity concerning their real civ
ilization must be regarded, it seems to i
us, as a survival of the aneienr race and
creed hatreds of the dark ages. There is
an old, old lesson which the world has
not fully learned. Richard might have
learned it from Snladln, and Bonaparte
from Toussiant and Kruger from Khama.
It is to be hoped that one of these days
it w’ill be realized, and that we may all
come to realize ihat—pace the German
Emperor—men may be good soldiers, even
be humane in spite of having yellow-’
skins and diagonally set eyes. No doubt
we of the Caucausian race are the people.
But we are not sure that quite all of
chivalry and virtue will perish with us.
