THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1877. RELIGIOUS. Barmons by Two of the Leading Chicago Divines. Prof. Swing Discusses Acceptably ihe Subject of Spiritunlity. And Bobert Collyer Talks of an 0ld Parablo for the New Year; Or the Shadow Which Went Back Ten Degrees on the Dial SPIRITUALITY. BEAMOX IY PROP. BWINOG. Prof. Bwing preached yesterday mornfngal the Central Church, taking as his text: To beepiritually minded is lite—2Rom. vilt., 6. “This Is one of those expressions which come to us from the platonlc atmospliere, The spirit ‘was o certatn divive spark in man. With it the Almighty communed, Initlsy divine qualitics and tbe germ of immortality. Opposed to this, and fn the same individual, was a coarser, ruder nature, fond of foorl and drink and riches, and all temporary and anjmal pleasures. In tho flesh this Jower naturc dwelt, and hence It was called the carnal or flesh nature. ‘These two warred Incessantly. They wers like the summer and winter of nature. Winter slays the flowera ‘which the summer inkes so much delight in producing. After all tho long husbandry of spring and summer-time comes + o+ the ftost from the clear cold heayen 23 falls the rllunl on men, And the brightness of thelr amllo 18 gona from up - 1and glade and glen. Thus all through the moral world around Paul aund John and thelr Greek companions moved these two scasons, the spiritual und the carnal, thie summer and winter of maun, the carnal al- ways anxious to lny waste tho gardent In which the spiritual nature had been tofling with Jove and jnduetry. Hence Faul declures that to be earnally minded is death, but to bo spiritually minded Is life, These once significant words the old theologians and literalists have torsed nbout and repeated until their original significance ks furgotten, and they come to us children only 1ike dead flowers placed ina damp old book by people ulfioml intentions In the last gencration, And yet through this text: o be mrnnlllv minded Is death, but to be spiritually mindud Is 1ife,” there once flowed a clear, deep streum of thought between fresh and green banks, But this was when I'aul and Plato were scelng a new world through eyes which had just received ght, _Blnce then the stream they saw has run dry. Instend of the landscapo thicy beheld, wo are sometimes pointed to little standing, stagnaut rills, called total _depravity or ortiiodoxy, 08 being the streans which Uaul” saw under the name of fesh and rpirit, IunF uzi'o, One-half of Paul's sentence will firnish theine cenough for the hour. **'F'u be spiritually mind- ed s Ifu” are words which oller as o thene, Spirituallty. The truth s best acen by contrast, henco the former half of I'aul’s sentence casts light upon the latter, for in the deatls which carnality brings one miay percelve mors clearly the Jife which comes by the path of the spirit, ~All the years und generativis around Paul had Loroe wituess that to fulluw the flesh was ta make life Lasten toward the end, and to an end inglorious. The glutton, and drunkard, and llberting, the man of violence, the man of wicked minbition, the brutalized eriminal, all these hud marched alongs then even more strikingly thun they flle alung i our uge, und had imade him realize that the passions of the flesh lead to death. In bis thoe many a Herod was dylog before hils day; many an Antony and Cleopatrawere hurrying through thefr carcers; many u prodigal was spending his substance In riotdus lvimg; many thousands of _young men wero dylng vioient deathss sud, viewing this speciucie, the philosuphy of the hour camg back with force to LPoul’s bosum that the passfona of the flesh Jead to death, the paselons of the spirit Jead toward life. In the opening chapter of this let- ter to the Romans there fs 8 plgture of “Roman morals, and In that condition of suclety you wilt 1ind the cause of that great generalizition thuy the flesl Lrings ruin, the splrit brings triumph.

Antonine the Pious, all moral ninds Jove regardless of denominations. Jew, Mohammedan, Chiristian, Catholic, Protest- ant, all quote from the great Roman Em- perors “Meditations,” beeause fn them the soul pours atong not as a cold discrimination, but ns a love of God nnd man. ‘The “Medita- tion " moves along above the hails of debute as broad as the solfloquy of Hamlet or Gray's Elegy.

Antonine breaks away from the hody and pours out all Lls thouglits In the hame of the svul, % But more deepl, s‘nrluml Is Thomas o’ Kem- pls. The Roman ‘y;m only an Imperfect coneep- tion of God, and the futiire hie faced with resig- nation rather than with belicf. Tha apirituality of Antonine was thus divested of juy: and was clouded day and nighti but the ol Kempls stood fn an unclouded world, and saw clearly God und fmmortality, In his great book there is little trave of distinetive Roman Cathotic fdeas. Pope, and Bishop, and Suints, and all he questions that vex the Churelt, and which malee the food of ambltion and strife, were far down in the nolsy vale beneath the drewner’s feet. His book, like his ccil fn the monastery, Js solitudy ncross whose page no belng but {lod can pass ond r the gates of the cony that o’ Kempis kuew not nud carod nhot what King or Pope was bueled or erowned, so the same seelualon shut out focal or temporary dog- mas and disputations, and left the book” open only for the fuotstep of God ond the soul.
