H. Faust, Lexington, Ga. Text: “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew xvi: 18. It shall not be our purpose in this sermon to go into a detailed discus sion of the church and its technicalities. Let it suffice to say that the church is the institution founded by our Lord Je sus Christ for the purpose of saving the world, and that it is composed of men who believe in His divinity and have been regenerated by the Holy Ghost, conscious of their dependence upon God and thoroughly imbued with a spirit of world-wide evangelization. “Many men of many minds” is a pe culiar proverb, of course, lake many of our other old sayings, there is an ele ment of truth in it and also a very large element of falseness in its gener ally accepted Interpretation—that is, many people seem to think that It is perfectly right for hundreds of churches and isms to spring up, and this Idea has grown to be immensely popular and has worked itself out into a regular fad. Many Denominations Contrary to the Bible. Solomon said, “Of making many books there is no end and much study is a weariness of the flesh.” If he lived to-day he might with equal truthful ness say of making many denominations there is no end, and the many wrangles and disputes attached to the process Is disgusting to thinking people and an abomination to the Lord. Experts in statistics and men who claim to know tell us that we have 200 different de nominations in the United States. Now 1 say it in no spirit of egotism, but any ordinary man could intelligently study the creeds of them all and boil the en tire number down to a half dozen or more that would contain all the essen tial differentiating doctrines of the en tire number. I believe with all my heart in the denominational idea. It is as es sential (seemingly) to have different churches as it is to have different po litical parties. And yet we are multi plying new organizations entirely too fast. The spirit of the organization is being forgotten in the multiplication of creeds and machinery to perfect the same. Jesus Himself said, “This is My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Now which of the many churches of to-day is Christ’s? Which of the various multiplied organ- iztions shall the gates of hell break down before? These are questions which confront us on every side. Newspapers have recently carried in bold headlines the fact that Baron Headly has renounced Christianity and gone over to Mohammedanism, giving as his reasons that there were entirely too many divisions in Christendom. Such reasons are as worthless as a last summer’s bird’s nest. The student of church history well knows that Moham med himself said that there would be many divisions in his own perfected or ganization. And evidently, when a man leaves Christianity for Mohammedan ism, he jumps from the frying pan into the fire, so far as divisions are con cerned. No, the trouble with the world is to day that men seek continually some thing new. The proper thing to do would be to begin to seek out the old paths beaten into highways by the footsteps of consecrated mothers and fathers and walk in them to the end. Purpose of Founders of New Isms To Destroy Those Existing. Jesus, who was the founder of Chris tianity, said that He came not to de stroy but to fulfil. Not to tear down but to build up. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, and yet the foun ders of new cults seem to -’eel that they were called into the kingdom for the express purpose of destroying all existing orders, and overthrowing all established creeds and faiths. A man never builds up his own house by tearing down the house of his neigh bor. It is easy to do destructive work. It is exceedingly hard to do construe^ tive work. Any man can take a crow bar and an ax and demolish a building already erected, but it takes a real carpenter who understands his busi ness to take plane and hammer and saw and square and erect a house. The builders are not the destroyers. The man whose heart has been touched by God goes out into the cold world and seeks to save the lost sheep of the hoqse of Israel. The man who pro poses to become the founder and head of a new creed goes into ministerial pastures and preys upon the helpless flocks of others. Parasitical in their tendencies rather than uplifting and helpful. Enough New Ideas. Or rather enough so-called new ideas. For in rea’ity the new schools of thought are simply dishing up to the thinking world the old Sadduceah, Pharisaical, heathen, notions and views, and attempting to palm them off as food new and strengthening. The so- called present day infidel who denies the existence of a future life may feel that he has some originality about him, but he is only silly. The Saddu- cees had that false doctrine worn to a frazzle before the first advent of Christ into the world. Men who love sin, whose imaginations are only evil and deleterious continually are only too g’ad to revel and roll in the cess pools of their own bestial sensuality and lust while hugging to their bosoms the damnable fallacy that they will have another opportunity to repent in the world to come. Christ was either right or wrong when he said every man shall be judged according to the deeds committed in the flesh. If the righteous and wicked both go to the same place, then where is justice, and where even a semblance of the in exorable ’aws of nature? Will Socialism Save the World? Study the Book of Acts and find that the early disciples, the first Christians, held all things in common. This was more communism than Socialism as we have it to-day. It is all right to hav* all things in common provided all ar« believers in Jesus Christ, and that all have been changed by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. But right here is where Socialism has failed up to the present. It has had to deal with men who have not been molded into a changed humanity by the power of the Holy Ghost. Only a full faith In the man Christ Jesus and a complete ad herence to His teachings will ever en able Socialism to take the world. So cialism up to the present lias empha sized the material—Christianity has al ways stressed the spiritual and it will be hard for the Church and Socialism as it now stands to ever he wedded. Isms Judged by Their Finished Product. A tree is judged by its fruit. The quaint old proverb, "The proof .P 1 ® , Pudding is the chewing of the hag’ here holds good. What has Eddy ism and Dowieism and the other new cults and fads con tributed to the world in the way of men? The church, the old church, the church established by Jesus Christ the church which He Himself said ’ the gates of hell should not prevail against as it has gone on its conquering wayj lias produced a Martin Luther, who could begin the greatest reformation the world has ever known. It has pro duced a John Knox, who had the abil ity and courage to lace one of the greatest rulers of the day and de nounce the sins of the government and its leaders. It has given to the world a John Wesley, who could defy tra dition and bring back life to the world from a spiritual viewpoint when all seemed to be dead and buried beneath a perfect avalanche of favor itism and indifference. The old church has furnished to the world a Moody, who could go from ocean to ocean, from continent to continent and preach a Gospel that saved hundreds and thousands of the lost. It gave a Spurgeon, who, as a young man, could thrill a London congregation with his spiritual power and who in his old ago was a very prince of preachers and teachers. It gave a Dixon, who could move Baltimore and shake Chicago and thrill London and attract the attention in spiritual circles of the whole civil ized world. Go where poverty is most oppressive and you will find that Christianity alone has built orphan ages and asylums and sanitariums to care for the children of the poor and the aged and*infirm. The great men of the world have been the products of the church. Wilson, the head of these great United States, a Christian, an enthusiastic churchman; Bryan, our great Secretary of State, a consistent churchman; yueeri Victoria and Glad stone, her great Prime Minister, were all the gifts of the church to the world. When Jesus came and uttered the words of the text Rome was in her prime. Her soldiers, with ironclad heels, tramped the world from center to circumference. and her eagles screamed over every nation. Greece, with her primacy of learning, has passed with her away. Nations and kingdoms and principalities and pow ers have passed away. Think you then that these new fads and isms will dis place the church? Nay, verily! like Tennyson's brook, the church of the living God will go on forever. The power and wisdom of Christ is behind it. Its member have received their marching orders from the King, anti when they go, as go they must, He is ever with them with all power in heaven and on earth at His disposal. The men who are carrying the heavi est burdens of this old world are the church members. The political burdens rest upon the shoulders of the church men. The moral and social cares press heaviest upon the members of the church. Heaven and hell are settled realities in the minds of most men who really think. Reading the Exposition a few days ago, 1 ran across the following that carries with it a very grave and important lesson: “An atheistic lec turer held addresses in a number of French cities recently and announced that he would give an opportunity for Christians to discuss his address and present their side. In one city he spoke more than three hours, so it seemed that he would have not only the first, but the last words also. However, a plain farmer went upon the platform and made the following address: “l have neither the time nor the education so that I could make a fine speech, there fore I will let this old Book”'—showing an open Bible—“speak. Here I read; ‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.’ ” He closed the Bible and continued: “One should not debate with fools; they need a physician’s care.” Strange to say, this short and rather blunt speech had a great effect, though a good portion of the crowd consisted of friends of Fauces’ views. The short talk of the farmer had scored over the elaborate lecture on the theme, “Twelve proofs against the existence of God.” Men may try as best they can to per fect organizations and found sects and institute societies and promulgate new views and establish new isms, but God is the same. The church pursues the quiet and even tenor of her way, contin ually basking in the favor and love of her great Head, even our Lord Jesus Christ. Like a mighty army moves the church of God against the forces of atheism and skepticism and heathen ism. This mighty militant host, en thused and cheered and sustained by the continual presence and omnipotence of her Captain, will never know de feat, nor cease to progress until the banner of the cross floats proudly over the battlements of the devil and the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ. It is comforting among so much that is new and that makes such great claims to turn to the text and read concerning the church that we love so well that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
