Know Each
Other
By REV. JAMES M. GRAY. D D„
Dean of the Moody Bible institute,
Chicago
TEXT—For what is our hope, or joy or
crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye, in
the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ,
at His coming? I Thess. 2:19.
What more in
teresting and ten
der question do
Christians ever put
one to another
than this — Shall
we know each
other in the life
to come? The Bible
nowhere definitely
answers that ques
tion, but the infer
ences are many of
an affirmative kind.
For example,
there is the uni
versality of the
belief or hope of
such recognition,
which is expressed ou every tomb
stone and heard in the hymnody of
the church in all the centuries. A be
lief of a few men In a few places Is
not a sufficient ground of evidence,
but a belief of all men in ail places
is very different. God would seem to
be the author of a belief like this,
and, if so, there must be a ground
for it.
In the second place, the reasonable
ness of the idea strengthens the con
viction of its truth. For example, the
resurrection of which the Bible
speaks is one of individuals, but in
dividuals are capable of identifying
themselves only as they identify oth
ers with whom they were associated.
If. in other Words, we shall know our
selves in the resurrection, then we
must know others who have helped to
make us what we are. But the ob
ject of the resurrection is equally con
vincing, since it is to bring reward to
the righteous and punishment to the
wicked. These rewards and punish
ments are based upon the deeds done
In the body, but to remember the
deeds, we must remember those for or
against whom the deeds were done.
What the Bible Bays.
in the third place, while the testi
mony of the Bible in this respect is
not definitely clear, it is inferentiaßy
so. Certainly Christ’s words to
Martha with reference to the resur
rection of her brother Lazarus, imply
that in the resurrection they would
be known one to another. Read the
story in the eleventh of John to prove
this. Furthermore, we have the
teaching of Jesus in the parable of
the unjust steward, recorded in Luke
13, where he says: “Make to your
selves friends of the mammon of un
righteousness; that when ye fail they
may receive you into everlasting
habitations.” It is difficult to inter
pret this in any other way than that
in the life to come those saints of
whom we have made friends here by
our treatment of them will know and
welcome us Into the joys beyond. And
Paul's words in the text are to the
same purport. He expected to meet
those young Christians of Thessa
lonica when the Lord Jesus Christ
should come in his glory, and evident
ly he expected to know them for they
were to be his joy and crown of re
joicing in that day.
Possible Objections.
It Is no objection to this that Jesus
teaches in another place, (Matthew,
22:30) that in the resurrection there
is neither marrying nor giving in mar
riage, for such relationship Is not
necessary to identity nor the spiritual
joy of it.
Some would say that In the life to
Putting Christ First.
Christ does not say that we must
give up all our material possessions
before we may* become Christians.
But if any one finds that his material
possessions interfere with whole
hearted service of Christ, wise it is
for’him to sacrifice those possessions
In order that Christ may be supreme
in the life. Christ must have first
place in the heart. This is the mean
ing of the words of the Master to the
rich young ruler; it was his meaning
when he said, “If thine eye cause thee
to stumble.” His meaning when he
taught the people, "A mans life con
sisteth not in the abundance of things
which he possesseth," Luke xil: 15.
Prayer.
Prayer is the highest and supremest
privilege of a human being. As our
view of the Almighty is enlarged by
physical science, this privilege of vital
relation between our helplessness and
his might should become more and
more dear to us. In ourselves we are
infinitely little, but as we take hold
upon God, infinite love and strength
and joy are ours- through believing
come many friends would be missed
who have not died in the faith of
Christ, and that from such a point of
view recognition and reunion would
make for sorrow instead of joy. But
as Bishop Mant says:
“Fear not, the prospect of the realms of
love
Shall mar thy bliss, or thence sad lights
arise
To blunt thy sense of heaven’s ecstasies:
There. If thy heart with warm devotion
glow,
Meet for thy place, 'twill solace thee to
know
No friend of thine, mid those keen
agonies
In that dark prison-house of torment Ues:
For none Is there but Is of God the foe,
And alien thus from thee. The ties of
blood.
And earth's most sacred bonds, are but
a twine
Os grossamer, compared with what is
owed
To Him, the Lord of all! On Him re
cline:
He shall thy heart of every care unload.
He bld thy day with cloudless luster
shine.”
The practical effect of such a hope
as this Is an extended one. In the
first place, it brings us strongly under
the power of heavenly realities. In
the second place, It induces us to form
only holy friendships that can be con
tinued through eternity. In the third
place, it affords the most precious
consolation to the bereaved.
"As year by year we lose
Friends out of sight, to know
How grows In Paradise our store!”
Let the fact be emphasized in clos
ing, that we are talking about Chris
tians and not the unbelieving people
of the world. True Christians are
those who have received Jesus Christ
as their Saviour by faith, and who,
regenerated by his holy spirit, are
following him as Lord and master. It
Is these who have this hope before
them, and only these. Let us then
ask ourselves with candor, as in the
sight of God, whether we belong to
this blessed company.
Christian Guarantee.
God s workmanship in man is man’s
guarantee that finally all will be well
with him. That was a touching prayer
of the psalmist: “ForsakA not the
works of thine own hand!” An arti
ficer naturally follows the product of
his own hand with interest; and when
the figure is raised from tne inorganic
to the organic sphere, and it is real
ized that we are the offspring of God,
as Paul affirmed at Athens, and as
even the Greeks knew, the guarantee
of God’s ceaseless care for person
ality which Ib his product ap
pears still stronger. God will never
forsake his own. If we are doubly
his—by creation and by recreation —
nothing shall ever pluck us out of
his hand.
God's Reminder.
Every Impulse of beauty, of hero
ism and every craving for purer beau
ty, fairer perfection, nobler type, and
style of being than that which closes
like a prison-house around us, in the
dim, daily walk of life, is God’s breath,
God’s impulse, God’s reminder to the
soul that there is something higher,
sweeter, purer, yet to be attained —
Harriet Beecher Stowe.
From the Heart.
Now fervency in prayer hath in it,
first, attentiveness of mind, it the
mind be not present, it is impossible
that much of the heart and affections
can be there. How shall we think that
God hears those prayers which we
do not hear ourselves? And shall
we think them worthy of his accept
ance. that are not worthy of our
thoughts?—Robert Leighton.
God’s Reminder.
Every impulse of beauty, of heroism
and every craving for purer beauty,
fairer perfection, nobler type, and
style of being than that which closes
like a prison-house around us, in the
dim, daily walk of life, is God’s breath,
God's impulse, God's reminder to the
soul that there is something higher,
sweeter, purer, yet to be attained.—
Harriet Beecher Stowe.
prayer. And true it is that as one
has declared, “there is no prayer with
out some response. ' Invisible wires
from heaven to earth are ever vibrat
ing with Divine blessings, and when
prayer touches them, the electric
stream of love enters the soul.”
Glory-of the Life Beyond.
Close companionship with Christ is
the greatest joy that can come into
any human life. It is a joy that not
only outshines all else in this life, but
it will be the glory of the life beyond.
And the best part of it is that, be
cause of Christ’s surpassing and self
less love, our companionship is also
a joy to him. “Ye are my friends if
ye do whatsoever I command ' you.”
“Friends.” companions of the best of
all friends —our brother-friend, Christ.
How good God is to let us know this
joy of his companionship in Christ,
now and here! It need never be in
terrupted—never except by our own
choice. And we shall never choose to
turn away from God —from our Heav
enly Father, who is ever yearning
over us—if we rest wholly in Christ
as our life.
DEFMED BANKS
DUTOFTHOUSNiDS
HAIR SWINDLERS CAUGHT WHILE
TRYING TO ESCAPE ON
STEAMER.
MUCH MONEY RECOVERED
Thousands of Dollars Found on Them.
Defrauded Banks Out of One
Million Dollars.
New Orleans, —Charged with de
frauding banks in this country and
Europe of approximately one million
dollars through alleged manipulation
of invoices, Antonio Musica, his three
sons, George, Arthur and Philip Mu
sica, New York hair dealers, were
arrested in their apartments on the
steamei-+kuedia here. Two daughters
of the elder Musica. Louise and
Grace, were also detained. The par
ty was taken into custody just before
the departure Y>f the Heredia for Co
lon, Panama.
When searched at police headquar
ters. a large amount of money and
much negotiable paper was found in
the possession of the prisoners. Fifty
thousand dollars was secured from
Arthur Musica and about ten thou
sand more from other members of the
party.
The Musicas carried with them nine
pieces of baggage, which the police
hauled to headquarters. It is believ
ed that much more money and valua
ble papers will be recovered.
The Musicas did not appear to be
perturbed over their arrest. Affidavits
were sworn out charging the father
and three sons with being fugitives
from justice and the two daughters
with being material witnessese.
On the way to the central police
station an incident occurred which
caused some excitement. The elder
Musica attempted to secure from Phil
ip a revolver which the son had in
his pocket.
“No. won’t give it np. lam going
to kill myself before I get to police
headquarters,” Philip declared.
The weapon was taken away from
him after a desperate strugle with
one of the detectives escorting the
party.
Eighteen thousand dollars in bills
of large denominations was found
hidden in Miss Grace Muslca's cor
set. Eighty thousand dollars was re
covered from Musica and his three
sons.
