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 ».»w Him Wt.eu th* crude telescope was < on.--.re.; ted and the view was greaily « xt*:id”l. the search was renewed with Increased hopes of success. Again it fail ed. The lenses were made larger and riorr perfect, and with eat h improv, cment ley 's- hcirt boat with quicker bound, but. each time the astronomer, with tired eyes nd dejected count-nances, came back tr >rn his post >f rieoph'Ssi watching say ig ’’There is no God. I have sought the heavens through. 1 have mapped its t-x --yi’ e and named the const; Hat ions. I ha vo sought through Interstellar spaces ». d Ho Is not there, jf there <>v*r was i- God. H< has gone away from this universe. Ilf Is de id or absent." Some of us ha >• been frightened at alt this. We have said. "If a great telesco;*-. like the Li'k or Y*ike*. that makes the 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 have said to th.- astronomer. “You r- i bad man and your Instrument !< an invention of the devil.

Tin n.ogy Is a good thing, but. not for finding God. Wh< never we try to prow- the existence of God by any of these m* thuds, we tly 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 to those who sec spiritual truth in His parables and figures of spc< ch. ".Son. ■ knight'-:-, tli;.’ mind a.n*J h-art have .given 1 thee the truth.” in our beatitude for today. -He says that tho “mire hf it" is ti e ins’" ment , or organ for seeing God. ' Tn the earliest Hebrew the word I “heart” stood for all the Inward parts of the body. It soon came (o ru. an th** "hidden nnrt” of ar.ytl 'ng. Later it came to refer partieularly to the ' bodip ■ organ." which was regarded as the se:t :Of life.

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.

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.

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 j failure, as men count success, lie does 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 pression.' Ono not only sees a horse. ‘ but in- "s.-' S” one's meaning. He ap prehends a truth Jesus means that kind I of knowledge whleli best s-itisfles. 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 I ),-■unco in tbe same sense that they .ire i conscious of their own personality.
