MY GOSPEL
By REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE,
Pnator Second Baptist Church
T HREE times did the Apostle Paul
use the expression "My gospel."
We are'not to understand that
tif Is speaking in discredit of the gos
pel. according to Matthew or Mark or
Luke or John. These are not the
words of a bigot.
Paul was a large man, larger than
inv other of his contemporaries, but
the gospel was larger than Paul. Other
apostles had their gospel, their revela
tion and experience ot Christ, and
theirs was not In all aspects Identical
with Paul's. We need not be nfrald
to admit this. It Is the glory of the
gospel that no one man comprehended
Christ exclusively. With different per
sonalities and each from his own pe
culiar point of view, the disciples
looked at Christ and heard Him. We
should therefore expect to find Just
What we do llnd. four gospels, neither
one of which taken alone tells all the
truth about Christ. The West Indies
are a long chain of Islands, Cuba, San
Domingo, Porto Rica, Jamaica, seem
ing to be widely and completely sep
arated from each other, each one a
lovely tropical Jewel resting on the
beaming bosom of the sea. But If
vou look below the surface of the
ocean you discover that each of these
Islands is bound to all the others,' that
In fact they arp only the high points
of a single coral mountain' submerged.
So that whilst each Island seems to be
separate, all rest upon and are a part
of the vast and substantial Unity which
lies far below. It Is so with the gospels,
John's gospel and Paul’s gospel. They
are in essence and unity one-gospel.
When Paul says, "My gospel," he
speaks as a traveler would of "My
ship” or "My train.” It was his gos
pel, It was the means of his salva
tion. It waa’his because he was es
pecially Instructed In It. It was his
because he had been divinely and defi
nitely entrusted with It. It was hit
because he loved lb It was his because
he lived it. It was his because he suf
fered for it. And supremely Paul
means that what he calls "My gospel"
was his because It was truth which
he realized as truth. "He had no doubt
about what he calls "My gospel. He
could preach with the ring of certainty
In nil heart. The man who could say,
‘‘Kor mm tn 11v* f« nhHct ••
'Kor me to live It Christ," ".Veverthe'
less It. Is not I who live, but Christ
that llveth In me," could.say, "My gos
pel,” without challenge.
Your Gospel,
Every Christian ought to be able to
say "My gospel." We often felicitate
ourselves that we have the gospel, that
we have the Bible, and we assert oft-
times what Is not worth asserting. The
only gospel a man ha* In the real aense
Is what he has In him. There la an
expression In our lahgUage—Dibhole-
try—the worship of the Bible as a
Book. It Is a criticism especially lev
eled at Protestants. Let ue be warned
sufficiently to remember that the word
must needa become flesh before It was
powerful. We know of Christ by the
revelation In a Book, but we know
Chrlat In salvation only by the Holy
Ghost.
Gospel preaching and gospel wit
nessing are by an Incarnation. At least
that was what Christianity was to
Paul.- Emerson's remark holds good.
"Only so much do I know as I have
lived.”
If a man cannot, any “My gospel” It
may be questioned If, with all possible
acquaintance with the Bible and tech
nical knowledge of the things of Chrlat
and all adeptness In handling Scripture,
he can teach to another the way of
salvation. ‘ In the annals of the South
ern ministry there Is a notable Illustra
tion. There was' a young man gifted
as few men are—a genius. At the
present moment he Is before the .public
winning favor as an. orator, author
and playwright Ha entered the Chris
tian ministry. He rose like a meteor.
He waa the pride of thousands. In less
than five years he forged his way by
quick bounds to the center of public
attention In New York city, where he
preached to vast audiences. Then a
resounding crash. He flung off his
ministerial calling. He Is out of. the
pulpit forever. His own frank explana
tion Is pathetic enough. He said he
found himself preaching hla father’s
theology and the experience of others,
and was too honest tb keep It up. I
have thought of that man. He rode
triumphantly across my boyish Imagi
nation. I have thought of him with a
pang of personal sorrow. Oh, I wish
he could have said "My gospel.”

"Should all the forms that men devise
Assault his faith with treacherous art
He'd call them varieties and lies,
And bind his gospel to his heart."
Good News,
The most searching question that la
ever asked one Is the question I put to
myself: "What le my gospel?" Now,
I dare not In earnest answer to that
self-scrutiny presume to claim that
I have a message evolved In my own
consciousness or received as a personal
revelation which I may hold In a sort
of spirited patent-right. But I have
"my gospel" nevertheless. It Is whnt I
would tell men If my life was crowded
to Its last hour of opportunity. If
you will examine the I8th and 18th
verses of the 6th chapter of II Corinth
ians, you will And the authority for
”my gospel."
"God hath given to us the mlnstry of
reconciliation: to-u-lt, that God waa In
Christ reconciling the world unto Him
self, not Imputing their trespasses unto
•them.' And hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation.''
The first fact about "my -gospel,"
the fact that determines the mood and
spirit of Its ministry, the fact that
I must not at any time neglect, Is
that It Is good news. It la the glad
tidings of the grace of God. In the
privacy of a heart-to-heart corre
spondence with his Intimate personal
friend. Paul onee let fall a rare sen
tence. He called the gospel "the glo-

rlous good news of the happy God."
Tne music of the gospel In written In
the key of Joy. I have been com
missioned, If I rightly appreciate the
Christian ministry, to preach this
word of reconciliation, to proclaim as
powerfully aa I can everywhere und
to everybody that God la not angry
wltji men, but Is reconciled, and that
they must be reconciled to 'Him If
they would be saved. In order not to
be misunderstood, let me make a dis
tinction not very generally observed.
My gospel and my theology are not
Identical. My theology la such sys
tematised creed of God and His work
ing aa I may have. It Includes the
gospel, but Includes, In addition, a sys
tem of doctrines and a series of truths
that ran not be called “glad tidings."
There Is truth with respect to stn
and retributive Justice, fob Instance.
It Is. truth older than the revelation
of Chrlat. It waa truth before Christ
came. It would *be truth had he not
come. I can not blink that truth. I
must tell it to men, however solemn Its
Import. But when I tell It. when I
set up the awful background of sin's
guilt and the dark shadows fall over
the souls of msn, I must hasten then
to my real ministry—the ministry of
the good news. It will help us some,
I think, to keep our minds Well bnek
with the prlmltve preachers und their
mode of preaching the gospel. They
acted like men who went forth ns
heralds. They were sent, not so much
to educate, in dispute and argue, as
to proclaim lldlngs, to bear testimony
to farts. Plainly, the main message,
the passionate business of the church,
was to tell the story uf Jesus and Ills
love. It has been pointed out as of
some significance that when Christ
delivered what Is called his Inaugural,
he took for His text a passage In Isaiah
Ixl, but when he read It In the syna
gogue, he omitted one. statement of
the prophet, "He hath anointed me to
preach the day of vengeance of our
Ood/'
In Luke Iv, you may note that omis
sion If you will, and attach to It
such Importance as you choose. It
coincides with the spirit of Christ's
ministry In the main, at least, that He
did not apply those words of the proph
et to Himself. He did not, as He said,
“come to condemn the world,"
To the Corinthians, Paul declared:
"I determined not to know anything
among you save Jesus Christ and Him
cruclfled.” He probably did not mean
that he would make no reference to
the awful fact and the still more aw
ful doom of aln. But he did mean
thnt what he said about this or other
matters would be overshadowed by the
cross. When Iqst Hunclay, I preached
to you on the Judgment, I wondered
afterwards If at the last 1 had been
fully loyal to "My Oospel." It Is bun
gling work that misses the chance
against such a gloomy background of
shadow and despair to lift the shining
cross. There Is no truth of tile law
that has the right to the whole stage,
no fact ao great and Important In the
calendar of Judgment that the love of
God should not go up Immediately be
side II.
“If we must speak nf Judgment, let
us ever have close at hand tha gospel
to take the atlng out of our Indig
nation."
"By the space of three years, I
ceased not to warn every one, night
and day, with tear*.”
in the biography of D. L. Moody,
we are told In his own words of the
turning point of his great evangelism.
It dated from the day In whlrh he
learned to place the love of Gml before
everything else, and almoat Inslend of
everything else. In his absence, he
allowed n young Englishman to preach
In his pulpit rnther reluctantly. When
he returned, he naked'his wire:
How Is the young Englishman com
ing on? llnw do the people like him?"
"They like him very much. He line
prenched two sermons from that verse
of John, 'God so loved the world thnt
He gave his only begotten Ron, thnt
whosoever belleveth In Him should
not perish, but have everlnstlng life.'
And I think you will like him, though
he preaches a little differently from
you. He tells the wprst sinners that
Ood loves them."
Well, then, he la wrong!” said
Moody. 1
For seven nights, the young Eng
lishman. Ilenry Morehouse, went with
that one text. Ho converted Mr.
Moody.
"He Just beat that truth down Into
my heart,” he said, “and I have never
doubted It since. I used to preach
that Ood was behind the sinner with
a double-edged sword, ready to hew
him down. But I have got done with
that. I preach now that God Is behind
him with love, and he la running away
from the God of love.”
"My gospel" Is the good news to the •
sinner who Is running away from the
Ood of love.

GOD’S ALL-EMBRACING FATHERHOOD
By REV. E. D.
ELLEN WOOD,
Pastor Univorsnlist Church
T HERE Is a certain, materialistic
philosophy which declares that
God exists only In the mind of
him who believes in His existence.
There Is no profit In a discussion of
the stabllty of this proposition. The
very existence of a belief In God, In
any human mind. Is a sufficient and
conclusive proof of Hla existence. Here
I* a thought which can not fall to
bring comfort and -assurance. Whence
came this belief In a supreme power
upon which the sou! must depend for
sustenance and progress: a belief so
general, so universal, aa to mark, un
mistakably, the line of cleavage be
tween the man and the brute? It came
from no other source than the heart
of God. The belief In God was breath*
ed Into the soul of man by the very
spirit of life* which gave- htm being. .
Rellgon, tinder whatever name and
In whatever form, la but the soul's
unceasing effort to define and to' In*
telllgently apprehend God.
The development of religion, through
all the centuries of man's constantly
growing intellect,.has wltnaased many
grotesque and unworthy conceptlona
of Deity. Through successive periods
of ghost, nature and ancestor worship,
civilised man has. been led, In his
search after a knowledge of God, to
that conception which waa In the mind
of Christ, the conception of Deity as
a father, absolutely Impartial, unfail
ingly Just, Infinitely kind and loving.
It was to this conception of God that
Jesus sought to direct the minds of
men, and the early Infancy of the
form of ■‘ellgldn which bears his name
waa fed to strength and purity upon
this truth. But, alas! "men have
sought out many Inventions." The
Deity described tn the articles of belief
In some of the Christian sects today
bear* but slight resemblance to the
heavenly Father, who received the
adoration of the man of Nazareth.
The supremo effort of the Unlver
snllst church Is not to, form a new re-

ns a universal nnd an all-powerful
Father ran d» no less than this by Ihe
children of His own creation. "Shall
not the Judgo of all the earth do
right?" The love-of nn onrthly parent
Is not withheld from hla persistently
disobedient offspring. The parent-love,
dominating His heart, Is not destroyed
by the Ingratitude and disloyalty of
the rebel. It puts forth unusual efforts
to reclaim and restore the wanderer.
Shall we believe thnt Ood, whom Je.
sue taught us to rail Our Father who
art In heaven, ahall be Inferior to man
In the power and peralatence of His
love?
Thla larger thought of Ood Involves
an unescapnble responsibility for every
child of His love. If God Is the uni
versal Father, then all men everywhere
are brothers. The man whom I meet

formed by disease or dissipation,
though hs may be forbidding of coun

To tho Editor of The Georgian:
It him been Intimated pretty strongly
and more than once through tha At
lanta papers by a friend nf the temper
ance causa that there Waa a possibility
of having a dispensary Instead of the
saloon system.
A threat'll made against the liquor
dealers of Atlanta to thla end, that If
they extend the whlaky lltnlta In thla
city, IKe Law and Order Committee,
representing tha Ministers’ Evangelical
Association, Dr. John E. White, chair
man, would attempt to bring on a pro
hibition election, but It that falls than
the dispensary question would be con
sidered.
In a recent Interview with Dr. While,
as reported In The Atlsnts Journal, tbs
doctor says:
'There la an organisation In Atlanta
railed the Anti-Saloon League, with
which I am not officially connected
but with the purposes of which I am In
entire sympathy which may or may
not tako some steps In tha matter.”
I'ertalnly we are very grateful to
him for Ills sympathy, for personally
I esteem him very highly and am sura
he Is quite able, by virtue of his minis
terial position In Georgia, to do the
reuse of temperance In the state great
good. Aa to hla official connection with
the Antl-Haloon League, Ihe doctor's
memory Is evidently at fault, for most'
assuredly he la a member of the board
of directors of the Atlanta I^sge. And
-It goes without saying the League has
greatly missed Ills valuable services.
We only regret that our good brother
lias forgoten so Important an obliga
tion. The temperance cause Is sacred,
nnd next to the salvation of soul- ii u
Ihe most Important question now be
fore the people.
The doctor states that he is m-t ap
prised as to nur attitude toward the
question of extending the liquor llmltn.
Well, 1 am sorry he la not. We had
thought .any «ne who Is nt all acquaint,
ed with the great principles and pur
poses of the Antl-Baloon League kn-.ivs
that we are not only opposed to tho
extension of liquor limits, but la iho
existence of legalised liquor traffic In
the most narrow circles. Wo nre op
posed to the traffic whether It la- the
licensed saloon or that abnmlnahi,,
compromise, the dispensary, Th*' arn
both evil and destructive to men. They
are hideous In the sight of God and
ought to be In the eyaa of every nuiv:
man.
Neither this government nor any oth
er government hgs a right to lleenae ,i
liquor shop or sny other den that will
pauperize and debauch anil murd-i Its
subjects. We draw the line nharpli.
We are unflinchingly opposed (-- ihe
whole nefarious business, license,I «a.
loons, respectable (?) dlapcnr.n e a
drinking club houses, etc.
We nro In the flght'to win. We ate
going to press It to the last ditch. We
hope by the mercy of God to bn ak up
the liquor Iniquity In Georgia.
Jesus Christ came Into the world not
to regulate aln, but to do away with It;
so we have come to smaah the h-«aiiz,-,|
liquor traffic, not to regulate It. To
this end we Invite every gentleman In
Georgia to line up with us and light
valiantly, and to a finish, for our Imnor
and our lives, ■.....
