T HREE times did the Apostle Paul
use the expression "My gospel."
We are not to understand that
he la speaking In discredit of the gos
pel. according to Matthew or Mark or
Luke or John. These are not the
sords of a bigot.
Paul was a large man. larger than
any other of his contemporaries, but
the gospel wns larger than Paul. Other
apostles had their gospel, their revela
tion and experience of Christ, and
theirs was not In all aspeets Identical
with Paul's. We need not be afraid
to admit this. It Is the glory of the
gospel that no one man comprehended
Christ exclusively. With different per
sonalities and each from hla own pe*
collar point of view, the dlsclplea
looked at Christ and heard Him. We
should 'therefore expect to find Just
what we do find, four gospels, neither
one of which taken nlnne telle 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-
srated from earh other, each one a
lovely' tropical Jewel resting on the
beaming bosom of the sea. But If
you look 'below the surface of the
ocean you discover that each of these
Islands Is bound to all the others, that
In fact they are only the high points
of a single coral mountain submerged.
So that whilst each Island seems to be
separate, all rest upon nnd 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 aa a traveler would of "My
ship" or "My train.” It was his gos
pel, It was the means of his salva
tion. It was 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 his
because he loved It. 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 realised as truth. He had no doubt
about what he calls "My gospel He
could preach with the ring of certainty
In nls heart. The man who could say,
"For me to live Is Christ." “Neverthe-
■-** }t Is not I who live, but Christ
that tlveth 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
v® have the Bible, and we assert oft-
times what ts not worth asserting. The
only gospel a man has In the real sense
le what he has In him. There le an
expression In our language—Blbllola-
try—the worship of the Bible as a
Book. It la a criticism especially lev
eled at Protestants. Let us be warned
sufficiently to remember that the word
must needs become flesh before It was
powerful. We-know of Christ by the
revelation In a Book, but we know
Christ 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 ao much do I know as I have
lived."
If a man cannot say "My gospel” It
may be questioned If, with all possible
acquaintance with the Bible and tech
nical knowledge of the things of Christ
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 ae an orator, author
and playwright. He Altered the Chris
tian ministry.' He rose like a meteor.
He was the pride of thousands. In less
than five years he forged his way by
quick bounda to the center of public
attention In New York city, where he
preached to vast audiences. Then a
resounding crash. He flung off hla
ministerial calling. He le out of the
pulpit forever. Hie own frank explana
tion la pathetic enough. He said he
found himself preaching hie father’s
theology ahd the experience of others,
and was too honest to 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
ho could have said “My gospel."
"Should all the forme that men devise
Assault his faith with treacherous art
He'd call them varieties and lies;
And bind his gospel to his heart."
Good Newt.
The most searching question that Is
evdr asked one le the queetlon I put to
myself: "What Is my gospel?" Now.
I dare not In earnest answer to that
self-scrutiny presume to claim that
I hare 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 what I
would tell men If my life was crowded
to Its' lost hout of opportunity. If
you will exsmlne the ltth and 19th
verses of the 5th chapter of II Corinth
ians, you will find the authority for
"my gospel."
"God hath given to ue the mlnetry of
reconciliation: to-wlt, that God was In
Christ reconciling the world unto Him
self, not Imputing their trespasses unto
'them.' And hath committed unto ua
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, le
that It le good news. It Is the glad
tidings of the grace of God. In the
privacy of a heart-to-heart corre
spondence with hie Intimate personal
friend, Paul once let fall a rare sen
tence. He called the gospel "the glo-

rlous good news of the happy God.”
The music of the goepel Is 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 aa
powerfully as I can everywhere and
to everybody that God It- not angry
tilth men, but le reconciled, and that
they mutt 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 Is 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 can not be called "glad tidings."
There Is truth with respect to tin
and retributive Justice, for Instance.
It Is truth older than the revelation
of Christ. It was truth before Christ
came. It would be truth had he not
come. I can not blink that truth. I
muat tell It-to men. however solemn Its
Import. But when I tell It, when I
eet up the awful background of tin's
guilt and the dark shadows fall over
the souls of men, I mutt hasten then
to iny real ministry—the ministry of
the good news. It will help ue some,
I think, to keep our mlnde well hack
with the prlmltve preachers snd their
mode of preaching the goepel. They
acted like men who went forth aa
heralds. They were sent, not ao much
to educate, to dispute and argue, aa
to proclaim tidings, to bear testimony
to facts. Plainly, the main message,
the paaalonate business of ths church,
was to tell the story of Jesus and His
love. It has been pointed out aa of
some algnlfleance that when Christ
delivered what Is railed hie Inaugural,
lie took for Hts text a passage In Isaiah
Ixl. but when ho 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
God."
In Luke Iv, you may note that omis
sion If you will, nnd attarh to It
euch 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 ths proph
et to Himself. He did not, aa He said,
''come to condemn the world."
To the Corinthians, Paul declared:
“I determined not to know anything
among you save Jeaus Christ and Him
crucified." He probably Hid not mean
that he would make no reference to
the awful fart and the still more aw
ful doom of eln. But he did mean
that what he sald about this or other
matters would be overshadowed by the
cross. When last Sunday, 1 preached
to you on the Judgment, I wondered
afterwards If at the last J had been
fully loyal to "My Gospel.” It la 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 the law
that has the right to the whole stage,
no fact so great and Important In the
enlendar of Judgment that the love of
Ood should not go up Immediately be
side It.
"If we must speak of Judgment, let
us ever have close at hand the goepel
to take the sting out of our Indig
nation."
"By the' space of three years. I
ceased not to warn every one, night
and day, with teare.”
In the biography of D. L. Moody,
we are told In his own words of the
turning point of his great svnngellsm.
It dated from the day In which he
learned to place the love of God before
everything else, and almost Instead of
everything else. In his absence, he
allowed a young Englishman lo preach
in hie pulpit rather reluctantly. When
he returned,-he asked his wife:
"How Is ths young Englishman com
ing on? How do the people like hlin?"
“They like him very much. He has
preached two sermons from that verse
of John, 'God so loved the world that
He gave hie only begotten Son, thnt
whosoever betleveth In Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.'
And I think you will Ilka him, though
he preaches a little differently from
you. He telle the worst sinners that
God loves them.”
"Well, then, he Is wrong!" said
Moody. .
Kng-
Mr.
For seven nights, the
llshman, Henry Morehouf
that one text. He co
Moody.
"He Just best that truth down Into
my heart," he said, "anil I hnvc never
doubted It since. I need to preach
that God was behind the elnner with
a double-edged sword, ready lo hew
him down. But I hnvc got done with
thnt. I preach now thnt God Is behind
him with love, nnd he Is running awny
from the Ood of love."
"My gospel" Is the good news lo Ihe
sinner who Is running awny from ths
God of love.
Several years ago. a party was vis
iting the famous Mnmirotb Cave of
Kentucky. A lady becatio detached
from the party and eras not mt“*ed
until all were out In ths open nlr.
The eun had set. They returned nnd
searched In vain. Thnt night and all
next day. the old negro guide search
ed for the missing womnn. Imagine
the horror of her situation. She wan
dered In the darkness, stumbling nnd
falling nnd overcome with terror.
Ugly shapes fashioned themselves on
every dripping wall. Her footsteps in
ths sllsnre emjnded echoes of deepnlr.
Her reason was almost gone.
During the second night of hie
aeareh, the old negro caught sight "f
her and pursued. She saw his fate in
the glare of the torch, and It w»s as
the fare of a flend to her distorted
Imagination. She fled screaming. Ho
caught her at last, aa she fled from
Ills receiving hand. She fought with
all her remaining strength. But the
strong arms of the guide held her till
she was at last reassured and brought
safely to her friends.
The sinner Is lost. He Is beside him
self. He dees not realise that God has
come to save him. But when he hears
nntl bolleven It, he In reconciled and
saved.
Are ycu rec-jnclletl to Ood? Th-n
It Is bers-isc you will not believe the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
T HERE Is a certain materialistic
philosophy which declares that
God exists only In the mind of
him who bellevee In Hie existence.
There le 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 His existence. Here
is a thought which can not fall to
bring comfort and assurance. Whence
rnnie this belief In a supreme power
upon which the soul muat depend for
sustenance and progress; a belief so
general, so universal, is 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 ths very
spirit of life which gave him being.
Rcllgon, under whatever name and
In whatever form, Is but the soul’s
unceasing effort to define and to In
telligently apprehend God.
The development of religion, through
all the centuries of man's constantly
growing Intellect, has witnessed many
grotesque and unworthy conceptions
of Deity. Through successive periods
of ghost, nature and ancestor worship,
civilised man has been led, In hie
search after a knowledge of God, to
that conception which wan 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
Jeeua sought to direct the minds of
men, and the early Infancy of the
form of religion which bears his name
was fed to strength and purity upon
this truth. But, alas! "men have
sought out many Inventions.” The
Deity described In the articles of belief
In some of the Christian sects today
bears' but slight resemblance to the
heavenly Father, who received the
adoration of the man of Naxareth.
The supreme effort of the Unlver-
sallat church lx not to form a new re-
tlgon nor to Institute a'new conception
of God. It Is simply to call men back
from their unhappy theological .wan
derings and direct their unsatisfied
souls to the simple, direct and unequiv
ocal teaching of the founder of Chris
tianity, an unhesitating 'faith and
trust In the universal fatherhood of
God.
God Is the father, of all men, re
gardless of race or color, regardless
of physical, mental, morel or financial
condition. Even as His rain falls alike
upon the Just and the unjust, so His
love goes out. unfailingly and Impar
tially, to all of His children, whether
they be disobedient and wretched nr
obedient and happy. Hla chastening
love pursues relentlessly the erring
one, and will not forsake him. The
punlehment, Instituted, not from mo
tives of revenge, but for purposes of
salvation, must persist until, wfth
contrite heart filled with genuine re
pentance, the wanderer turns again,
with gladness, Into the path of rlght-

an a universal and an all-powerful
Father can do no lean than this by the
children of His own creation. "Shall
not the Judge of all the earth do
right?" The love o( an earthly parent
In not withheld from hln peralstently
disobedient offspring. The parent-love,
dominating Hln heart, Is not destroyed
by the Ingratitude nnd disloyalty of
the "rebel. It puts forth unusual efforts
to reclaim nnd restore'the wanderer.
Shall we believe that God, whom Je
sus taught us to call Our Father who
art In heaven, shall be Interior to man
In. the power and. persistence of His
love?
This larger thought of God Involve*

are brothers. The man whom I meet
upon the street, though he may be de

though he may be forbidding of coun

Not only the man whom It Is an honor

SUPERINTENDENT SOLOMON j
REPLIES TO REV. J. E. WHITE:
To ills Editor of Ths Georgian:
It han been Intimated pretty ntrongly
and mors than one* through the At
lanta papara by a friend of Ihe temper
ance cause that there waa a possibility
of having a dispensary Instead of the
saloon ayatem.
A threat la made against thn liquor
dealers of Atlanta to this end, that If
they extend the whisky limits In this
city, the Law anil Qrdcr commutes,
representing the Mlnlatcrs’ Evangelical
Association, Dr. John E. White, chair*
mnn, would attempt to bring on a pro
hibition eleatlon, but If that fails then
the dlnpennary question would be con
sidered.
In a recent Interview with Dr. White,
aa reported In The Atlanta Journal, the
doctor aaye:
"There ts an organisation In Atlanta
called Ihe Anti-Saloon League, with
which I am not officially connected,
but with the purposes of which I am In
entire nympathy which may or may
not take some steps. In Ihe matter."
Certainly wn am very grateful to
him for hln sympathy, for personally
I esteem him very highly and am nurs
he Is quite able, by vlrtqe of hla minis
terial position In Georgia, lo do tha
cause of temperance In the stale great
good. Aa lo hla official connection with
Ihe Anil-Saloon League, the doctor's
memory Is evidently at fault, for moat
assuredly ha Is a member of lha board
of directors of the Atlanta I .cage. And
It goes without saying the League has
greatly missed his valuable services.
Wo only regret that our good brother
has fnrgoten so Important an obliga
tion. Tha temperance causa Is sarred>
und next to the snlvatlon </f souIh 1/ Is
the moat Important question now- be
fore the people.
The doctor states that he Is not ap
prised as to our attitude toward the
question of extending the liquor llmlt/t.
Well, I am sorry he In not. We had
thought any one who In nt nil acqunlnt-
etl with the great principle* nml pur
poses of the Anti-Saloon League know*
that we are not only opposed to the
extension of liquor limits, but to the
existence of legallxed liquor traffic In
the moat narrow circles. Wo are op
posed to the traffic whether It be the
llrenaetl saloon or that abominable
compromise, the dispensary. The/ urn
both evil and destructive to men They
are lildiH/ua In the sight of Orel «n.l I
lughl to be In the eye# of every lltlrjc
man.
Neither thle government nor nny oth
er government has a right to license a
liquor shop or any other den that will
pauperise and debauch and ' “
subject". Wa draw tha line sharply.
We are unflinchingly opposed to the
wholo nefarious, business, licensed sa
loons, respectable <?) dlspene.u i--s
drinking club houses, etc.
We are In the fight lo win. Wa aie
going to press It to thn last ditch. We
hope by the mercy of Gml to bieuk up
ths liquor Iniquity In Georgia.
Jenus Christ tnme Into thn world n--t
to regulate sin. hut to do away with it;
no wt have com* to smash the legalized
liquor traffic, not to regulate a. To
this end we Invite every genilemnn In
Oeorgla to line up with us and light
valiantly, and to a finish, for our honor
and our lives.
