CHRISTIANITY AS TAUGHT BY CHRIST
Tenth of the Series of Sermons Delivered by Dr. Bradley and .Published by
The Constitution. The Twelfth Will Be Printed Next Monday.
Subject, “How to Find God.”
Text: “Bessed ate the pure, in
heart: for they shall see God.” Mat
thew v., 8.
Men differ in many r’spects. hut they
ere alike in one. They want to know
something about God. from the day when
Job raised his voice in Uz asking, “Can
■nan by searching find out God?” down
to our own day, when Herbert Spencer,
the gnat philosopher who died a few
days ago declared that, to the material
istic scientist, "God is the Great Un
knowable." men have busied themselves
with questions about Hirn. The desire
*o know God is an Instinct of humanity.
It is no more confined to one race or na
tion than is hunger or thirst.
If there is one who says truly that lie
•ioas not wish to know God. one ot two
things may be said of him, cither he Is
«n evil man, or he has a notion of an
evil God. Some men are already so self
condemned that they would escape, if
they could, the additional condemnation
of God. You may spare such your de.
nunclation Their heart knows its own
bitterness. Others have had drawn for
them by religionists, who do not know
Him, such monstrous pictures of God
that they have turned away in horror
and disgust saying. "The less T know of
«ach a being the better.” They are to be
pitied.
Few things are more pathetic than the
right of men and women trying to wor
ship and love a hideous caricature of
God, a monster that is filled with selfish
ness, pride and love of adulation, and
bloated with hate, revenge and lows of
torture. The man wno turns away from
such a repulsive thing, refusing to wor
ship. is a. braver and better man than one
who, in cowardly cringing, bows before
II and lies to placate and flatter.
The search for God has met with vary
ing success. For the most part, it has
met with failure. Some have sought to
escape the pains of solving the problem
by denying the probit rn altogether. They
have called themseiv s atheists. Hut 1
(•■oppose there are really no atheists. The
very word has God in it, and the use of
it. suggests some sort of conception of
■ lod, ven thought it be one so unwotXhy
and unsatisfactory as to provoke protest
and denial. Some good men have been
■ ailed atheists by others because their
■ one.,ptlon of God was too big for the
critic’s creed.
Some have called themselves agnostics,
which means, for the honest ones, that
they hare looked at the problem in every
light they know and have applied every
test with which they arc familiar, and
hrve gotten such doubtful results that,
at list, they have to confess "We do not
know.”
Some have said, "We have found God,"
nn.l have spoken in such familiar and
endearing terms of Him that, for a time,
ha ve looked to them to tell us of Him,
I their conduct has so bolted their
word- th;:- we have said: "Either they
dec. ive i themselves, or -they are try
ing to deceive us."
S uit- have, really como to know Him,
end it is they who have made and still
make the world lit to Inhabit. They have
found Him. by a process that J*: us In this
r- xt recommends.
The thousands who have filled have
sought in the wrong place, or nlth th.
wrong instrument. The men of science
hai t tried to find God with the tools of
their craft When our ancestors conceived
* f the earth as a flat plain and th
?.■ ■>-ns as a solid firmament, only a few
miles away, they scanned with nuked
eyes the entire expanse in hope that,
tnrough some cc vice or window, they
night ’.itch a glimpse of God and the
throne upon which He sat. They never

Some of us ha >• been frightened at alt

moon appear ’o be within 16 miles ot
the earth, does nor reveal God, there
must not be any God.” Others of us have
shown as df plorabl a lack of faith, for

In the face of Jesus. Jesus felt so sure
Os the Father that He would have come
nearer trying to prove that the sun shines
and the flow- r- bio b'tcatise God exists
than that God < xists because, the sun
shines and the flower bloom:.. To Him
the-most certain thing In the universe
was God.
Jesus said. "You are looking for God
with the wrong Instrument and tn the
wring place. You can find him. You can
know ’Um. And the the discovery Is a
blessed thing." If you only knew your
Father, you would iose that haunting
sense of dread; for H" is kind and gen
tle. compassion no and loving. He Is
much better to His children than the best
man you ever kn w. Tho instrument by
which you sec and know Him is in roach
of each one of you. tt is a pure h nan
heart.”
Jesus used “lir- l” in a flgvrati’.e
sense. Indeed, He spoke almost exclusive
ly In parables and figures, and for two
reasons—first, a figure is more easily re
membered than an abstract statement,
and. second, success in interpreting the
figure gives the person who makes the
effort a. ect . tin sense of discovery and
; proprietorship. One who grasps th*' deep
i spiritual meiining of Jesus' words comes
Ito feel tint, in an important sense, it is
I bls own idea. Jesus loved this method.
H- tried always to make tho recipient
of His blessings fee! that tli blessing be
longed to him, so He turned to the wom
an who tried to steal a blessing by touch
ing His garment in the crowd and said
"Daughter, thy faith bath made thee
whole.” In like manner. He would say

parables and figures of spc< ch. ".Son.

' A Bad Stomach
> Lessens the usefulness and mars the hap
piness of life.
' It's a weak stomach, a stomach that can
not properly perform its functions.
! Among its symptoms are distress after
I eating, nausea between meals, heartburn,
belching, vomiting, flatulence and nervous
i headache.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Cures a bad stomach, indigestion and dys
pepsia, and the cure is permanent.
Accept no substitute.
i Idea, It is said that, during a certain
renaissance of art, there was such a
j demand for images and statues that the
I artists found it. impossible to supp'd’ ’he
i d< maud, ami immerous s-ulptors, who had
'not sufficient skill to turn out perteot
1 work, wer* pressed into service. Every
■ now und then an image was marred,
la slip of th. chisel produced a scratch,
I ? earcless stroke of tho mullet chipped
! the smooth Surface. It is said that .in
I artist, discovered a wax of such con-
I sistenev that it could be applied to the
i - ar or crack and. for a time, deceive
I the eye of the purchaser.
i By "sincere" then we mean trans
| parent as strained honey, or as free from
! fleck or flaw as a perfect marble statue.
The word "simple” is derived from two
Latin words sin* and plica, tne.-tnlng
"without folds, or plaits, or wrinkles.”
;.nd the: picture is that, of a garrn rit.
fr.-c, from wrinkles. It suggests to us the.
statement "without spot or wrinkle or
blemish or any such thing.”
| Jesus tolls us t’le result of a Irnri
like this. He does mn say that men of
pure hearts shall always be understood
!b; their friends and neighbors, or by
: a on gem.rally. He could not have, said
I this, for tt was not true. Neither do> s
I-.? say that the pure tn heart shall al
’ ways be loved, for this wuuld not be
; trill. Th* world, in its selfishness and
' blindness has often even hated these
' whose moral purpose was most trans-
I parent and fro st. from guile. H< dl l not
| say that tho pure in heart would always
'.succeed In the world's business affairs;
I that is not true. Often a. life in harmony
I with sw.’li moral purpose has resulted in

not say that this purity of heart shall
' insur. us escape from censure, criticism
I in- slander. Often the. most beautiful
lives have been worst calumniated. Uha t
ii: does promise, though, is that they
shall see God. .
"Seeing God" Is another figurative ex

regard seeing as the final test of truth,
i Our sense of touch, taste, smell or hear-
I ing is more easily deceived than the
s.-nsc of sight. The meaning is that
i t’"- pure in heart are conscious ot the
existence of God. They are sure of His
