THE PULPIT, A dowish View of Jesus of Nazareth, Sermon by the Rov. Die Holler, of Sinai Congregation, The Rev. Dr. Collyer Preaches on Gerrit Smith, £210 Lessons of His Lifo. JESUS OF NAZARETH, oll his opponenta in the baekground. ‘The theo- Sermon hy tho Mor. Mr. Kohicr, of Sinai Congregations The Roy. Dr. Kohler, Rabbi of tho Sinai Con- gregation, spako yosterdoy on “Jesus of Nazi roth,” as viewed from a Jowinh standpoint, itis text wag: Inderiho a mark upon tho foreheada of the men wha alg und complain because of oll tho abominations ces + and amite, but como not hear any man upow Whom the mark le, —Hzekied ty 4-0. ‘The sermon wns es follows: Dificnit as it is to drawa truo pictnre of a prominont person, portrayed in different colors on tho canvass of history, the task is aggravat- ed when tho samo personality hgs becumo a power, ruling tho destinies of ‘mankind, and counting its worshipers by tho millions, while Uxose lio refaned to kneel before it were crush~ od with tho aword, and silenced by burning fag- gots. Binoo, ho\wevor, not thoerncified Messiah, but the lofty teachor, is held forth in Jesus by modern Christianity, it well behooves us, ag Jows, [ think, to reflect upon Tis lifo, viewing it from our standpoint, Tor much as we reject tho god, wo love the man Jesus, yea, claim Him as outs, About 1,810 yents ago, on the days preceding tho Passover fostival, a largo crowd of people, mostly of tho lower class, was sebn marching along the stroots of Jornsalom, boariny: branchos of patm-treos, and shouting: ‘Hosanna! Hat) tothe son of Vavid!” ‘Lhe peaceful inuabitanty of the city bohetd with amazoment the unusual scone botokening the proclamation of a now Messiah, Who ia it, pray, to whom tho popu- lace pay such homage?” they asked ench other, gazing at the noble tlrnre of tho man with mild features riding in tho midst of the procession, “Itis a Galilean, by the natoo of Jexhu, from Nazaroth,” was the reply. Bat noither the man nor tho town wore known to thoi, morely tho mentioning of the province of Galilee at onco called beforo their minds the memory of tho licry Juday, who, tweuty-five years before, had‘ induced Lis conntrymon ‘to defy tho Noman Emperor by retusio to pay iim tho tases, duc only to God aud His teipio, but fell a victim to big patriotic zeal, ‘Will this Galiican also youturo bis life to deliver us from the frou one of Romo? Or shall we again witnees Froodsued aud war ag wo did bur shortly ago, when Pontius Pilate set np images of Cresar_ tn" tho Holy ity, in order to provoke our people? While tho maes of the peoplo harbored such thoughts, tho magistrates and tho priestly aristocracy apprehendoa dangor from this pageant, as it threatened to relsiudio tho smould- uring Imac of hatred against Rome, and to arouuo the susyicion of the procurator. In the moantimo Josus had agconded the Holy Mount, ovorthrown the tables of tho wonoy~ changore, and tuo seata ot thowo welling doves forthe gacrilices, exclnitning, “It is writton, my house shall bo whouse of prayer, and you mado ita house of tlauves.” Lut whilo addressing the crowd in tho court of the tempi, amidat 1 creasing khoutd of Hokauna to ihe Son of David, Ho wos arrested by the Ligh Priewt and sum- moned hefure tho Synhed:on, whieh hold ite aittingsin on adjoining hall. This body, con- xisting mostly of Saddacecs ‘of tho Herodesn stamp, and being doprived of the power to oxc- cute capital puntulinent, brought the caso -bo- foro the Goyeruor, who resided in the city dur- ing the fostival aenson to prevent disturbances emanating from the great vontlux of people. Pontus Vitate, fearing the avmputhies of tho people might increase anc ondanser the peace of the city, speedily condemned hita to suffer areb- ol's penalty of death, ‘Tho soldiers instantiy seized.

Howjmany protonders to the Messiahship lad arisen unto tho people like bright etars of hopa shining tlrongh tho night of ita opprossion, only to leave, like @ me- toor. a much deeper darkness behind. ‘ha oc- currence of other oveuts of far greater impor- tanca goon made them forgot the enthuriastic hiarlyr who had sacriticod His life for a hapeloss rouse, though thoy pitiod Han the more when informed of dis having boon na diweiplo of John tho Daptiv:, who bad lived an no gumt ond died a martyc, Of Jesus, however, they knew nothing except Tis touching ond. ‘Only a email number of thoso who watnicexed the wonderful scone would nevor forget Him, Their fulth in Hn was too strong to bo khakun, by Mis death, the impression He had niade upon thom was too deep over to become faint. ‘fo them Ho seemed aman of superior nauure, gnddwed with magio- powers ; a teacher kurpaasing all tho doctors of ‘tho law, yon, great. er than all the propheta—a Divme being, He romuined enthroned within thelr hearts as tho Mossiab, ta spite of ix wad fate.

In thowo odd and right aunts alouo, they had faith, as they flattered and fostered thelr superstitions. Of course, they Inew the namo of the spirit producing each diseavo, and how to maxtor it. Musing over the mysteries of nature, in their oremitie hfe, thoy seem to have adopted tho whole demonistn of the Parsees, dividing the workd between a good god with Lis sevou spirits of light, and a wicked youd with his seven spirits of carknens, and ex- peoting the final overthrow of the empire of the evil power by the advent of Hosiosy, the Savior.

In thin re- fyoot, then, Gerrit Smith was uowaint. Hin grand quulty in the religious thought and life jas not eclf-abegnation, but eelf-xenertion. Hin natuty wan #0 jargo, so sincere, and®o free in that re Fpect, that apy mero chureh or creed of man got fost in at, instead of his getting lost in the church orcreed, And U:énecond reaton why i mene tion with omphasin this froe mind of my raint,ie, that we may kee how it wan an intimate eloment in Chat pure life I hayo noted as the firat Aetey inhin maubood. For itia always the implies and uow and then the outepoken, repronch of thoko who stand by the older—aud shall { nay the narrower?—faith, that there frec-t free-livers; that, belug a law unto thenselyo: thoy become Iawlers, nud make ther buerty evoner or later a cloak for their licentionsness, and finding themeolves in tio respect Lonnd by the feeling of tho notable young man who uid he whould have bad a — «plendit time in Paris if he had not got religion before he left home. The inforence is that, an tha free-thinker han not, poe what they are pleased to call rolig- fon, hohas what becails a splendid time. I think ft is time to cal this chatge into court, and it oan nover be done to a snrer purtiose than .| by bringing it face to face with a man like Gerrit Smith, and shaming It down an that uivh pura presence standing now fast by the throne of God. Hore is 5 man who will challetizo the world at onco ag a fice-thinker and a pura Jiver, who had only regard tos commandment writlen on bis own Beart, and on the heart of the unt- Yorso; who could only recetvo tho very Sermon on tho Mount in a free spirit ; who bad no othor purpote iu this world a jus thinker than : To search through sil he fo" ‘The eprings of bite, the ut -p: And teach the law! wiih And this was the frait of it, as pure ani clean § piceo of manhood nv ever trod the enrth, Now, Tsay, this was ihe legitimate result of Ins free= dom. and tastalike freedom ina man of make will alwaya rive you this result, Woe may @uter in minor things: my meat may be Gerrit Smith's poison, but within the grand lines of ex sential wholetiens, cleannees, nnd interrilr, that the Christ Himseif wonld observe tho trie free- thinker, if ho is aleon religions thinker, lives, sud mover, and has his being. I do nat que-tion tho worth of other ways tothose who need the:n,— and { think vast nutnbers do need th vhep we cannot keen that peaco of (tod woien Tusweth all understanding, without giving bewla, why, then, we must give bouds; but do not mistake this for romething better than that tervico of God whichis perfect freedom. For this was the Inst +ceret of Gerrit Smith's bs y and truth awa man, that with his peifecs reedom there was deta perfoct reverence and davouttiess of heat like tuat of Gov, Androw, HKefors any man and all men he was Gernt Smith ; before God he was a litle child, Holding himeelf free to read his Bible as he would read any other book, be found in ite paghs what no other Lock inthe world could ebim. Tt was a Giod'sepeil to bim; ho had itznot on ‘his lips, but in bis heart, Scorning ail Hfayer Ly roto and rule, he was a man of prayer, who spake wilh God asa man epoaketa with bis friend, and ay he prayed he satig because some geent throbs of thankegiving contd only tind an adequate utterance in a pealm. It was father and child with him down to snurire on the 27th of December, 1874, when the Angel of Death enmo to beer him into the rest thut remains, aud found him thanking God for n good night's rest.
