| A GROWTH IN GRACE. Subject of Dr. McCorh's Dis- course Yesterday. Learned President Princeton College ‘The of Speaks in the First Presbyterian Church: Notwithstanding the heat, the First Presbyterian church of this city was yesterday filled to its utmost capacity by a select audience, assembled to groet Dr. McCosh, the famous divine and president of Princeton college. His theme was “Growth in Grace, Il- lustrated jn the Life of Nicodemus.” His text was from John XIX, 39: “‘And there came also Nicodemus, (which at the first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.” He said, *‘Among other and higher oxcellencies by which the four evan- golists were characterized, every hu- man mind is much interested to notice the variety of human character, good and evil, brought before wus. In the center or foreground of the paint- ing, (if painting it can be called), which is the simplest of all simple narratives) stands Jesus, the brightest of the Father's glory, and the express image of his power only seen in the shadow; working miracles, i distress and teaching his disc under the pressure all the whilo of the mighty load of A WORLD'S 8IN Around, we see tho apostles dis- tinguished by almost every possible diversity of character; some timid, others confident, each with a heart ungodly by naturo but all, with one sad exception, coming under divine power, which is struggling with ro- maining corruption within _them, Farther off we get a glmpse of other disciples shrinking from the view; for though convinced that Jesus has come from God they have not the courage to arm themselves to be his followers. Hero and there among the groups that hover around we see enemies irritated by the faith- fulness of the holy one in the midst of them and plotting how they may be rid of him. At this place you notice a company of SCOFFING SADDUCEES; at that place a party of scowling Phar- isees. . Scattered among these we find persons who had been relieved by grace of Him who went about contin- ually doing good, who had their bur- dens of care removed or their diseases healed. This man fixing his eyes so cagerly on Josus was lately blind; this other listening so intently was lately deaf; this other walking and leaping with such alacrity was, a short timo ago, hopelessly lame; and this other, so full of life and joy, was, but a fow days ago, prostrated on a bed of sickness, or shut up in THE GLOOM OF THE SEPULCHRE, In the background of the scene we have the mass of the people vacillat- ang between two opinions; now strew- ing his path with branches of trees and shouting Hosannah, and agai ‘with loud voice demanding his cruci- fixion. Whero olse will you moot such a variety of character, reaching from spotless excellence on the one hand and bloated lust and demoniacal malico and fury on the other. Heaven and earth and hell, God and man and devils, the flesh and the spirit, human nature and divine e, met and wrestle and struggle |/ ike we see the several properties of each. By this mixture of light and shadow we are interested and allowed to pursue the path before us; and in doing 80 we pick up most salutary in- struction. I beheve it may bo said tha’ ho who has thoroughly studied THE GOSPEL HISTORY knows more of human nature in its deeper characters and moods, especial- 1y in its relation to God, the Iriund, and to God, the (supposed) foe, than one who has read nl] the histories that were ever written of all the people that have ever lived. ‘We mean at this time to single out for special contemplation, a single per- #0a from the multitudes that pass be- fore us. That individual is Nicode- mus, He is presented to vyiew in three difforent positions. In the pas- sage immediately before us, as en- goged with Joseph of Aremathea, in committing the body of Jesus to the place of sepultuve, But the evangel- 1t in mentioning this circumstance, #0 much to his credit, refers to an- other passage in the bible not so com- mendable. ““Then came Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night.” On turning back to. chapter 111, we read of Nicodemus giving NOBLE TESTIMONY in different circumstances in behalf of justico and of Christ, but in that pas- o the same humbling clause is added, “he that came to Jesus by night.” Among other distinguish- ing n|\mhtjel, the scriptures are ever faithtul in recording the infirmities also of those whose excellencies are held forth to cur admiration. Paul, in alliding to his success adds that he was once a per- secutor, a blasphemer, and claims, “‘Not I but the grace of God in me."” In like manner when the faithfulness of Nicodemus is recorded it is added that at first he was so ashamed of Jesus that he could not come to him uwgt at dead of night We aro thus taught in reading the lives of the saints to distingwish the sinfulnes of the men and TIZE POWER FROM ABOVE, “Not unto us, not unto us, but unto thy name be praise.” Lot us consider Nicodemus under the three aspects in which he 1s presented. “‘Nicodemus who, at the first, came to Jesus by Night.” This carries us back three years in the his- tory. Jesus at that time was just commeneing his public ministry. "He had come to Jerusalem for the first time since h,shqlr-{n to teach and to work wmiracl is life had hitherto been obscure till lately in Galilee, and now in Jerusalem, he wrought signs and wonders, which proy that he ‘vu a hm_ha: come from (‘:ludJ But rom irst appearance orusa- lem the projudices of the priests and rulers were armed against him. ¥ind- ing the temple, which was his Fath- er's house, profaned by unseemly morchahdise he proceeded to cleanse it by casting down the tables and re- moving the money changers as a type of the work he came to {oflom in preparing the world, which ought to Am temple. this time for- ward From THE JEALOUS EYES of the hierarchy were fixed on him and narrowly watching his conduct. A wound had been inflicted, which continued to rankle in their breasts. Nor did this enmity cease till, three years after, it succeeded in bring him to the cross and to the grave. You can easily conceive how in these circumstances it must have required much courage on the part of one pos- sessed of rank and authority to avow himself to be a follower of Jesus, ‘Not many mighty, not many noble, arecalled.” Yet God has had in every age witnesses for the truth from among the higher as well as THE LOWER GRADES OF SOCIETY, It was on this very turn that Nico- demus first came to Jesus, Nicode- mus was a member of the Jewish San- hedrim, the supreme council of the nation, in short was one of the judges and senators of the land. He belong- od to the sect of the Pharisces, the most popular and influential of all the parties into which the Jews were at that time divided, and «the one which felt its self righteousspirit most deeply wounded and its power shaken by the life and doctrines of Jesus, ‘o can understand how great must have been the struggle before he could come to receive instruction from the new teacher of Nazareth, the lowly Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph, the carpenter, Onthe one hand prejudice must have led him to doubt whether one with so lowly an appearance could be the Messiah mentioned in such glow- ing language by the prophets and ex- pected by the people to be A TEMPORAL PRINCE, who was to sit on the throne of David and establish a more extensive do- minion than the Jewish one had been in the timo of its groatest prosperity. On the other hand reason told him that no man could do those miracles which Jesus did oxcept God went with him. Pride must have suggested that, by avowing himself a fult)wer of Jesus, he would be lowered in the esteem of the circle in which he moved. He felt as if he needod a teacher and a savior, and yet he was ashamed of one who came in 80 lowly a form, Kora time there must have been a struggle in his breast like that between CHAOS AND ORDER at creation, when the spirit moved on the face of the waters, like that which we have seen between the light and thick masses of cloud at the dawn of the day, and noone but he who doeth all things can tell which is to gmn the mastery, When at length the good overcame the evil, no doubt through the leading of the u‘»irit of Jesus, it was accom- panied by an unworthy compromise of principle. He resolved to go to Jesus, but he had not the courage to do 8o openly in the light of day. He was afraid that if he was seen in the company of the new teacher from Galilee he would lose THE FAVORABLE OPINION of those of his own station; and every one acquainted with human nature knows that most men would rather lose favor of those beneath them in rank, or even of those above them, rather than of persons of their® own circle, with w}mm they are in the habit of daily associating. We ought all to be ashamed of our foolish deeds but here is one ashamed of the wisest resolution he had ever formed. If he had been about to visit, an earthly prince he would have chosen the light of day, but 8o much are mon dazzled ‘by the splendor of worldly station, and so little do they esteem spiritual excel- lence, that he could come to him who was born King of the Jews only under clouds of concealment. 1f the heralds had announced that Tiberius, the Ro- man emperor, had arrived in Jerusa lem, wo can conceive that Nicodemus would have sclected the most public day and the most public strect to wait upon him, in the midst of BUSTLING CROWDS; but now, when he who is the Prince of Peace, foretold by prophsts for thousands of years, ' his birth cele- brated by angels and his power at- tested bz miracles, and he himself the king of kings and lord of lords. came to Jorusalem he could not come to him except in & way which showed that he was ashamed of being seen in his presence But it is well when we come to Jesus at all. We will be received if we havo but faith as a mustard seed. Virtuo will come out of him to make us whole if we but touch the hem of his garment, If Nicodemus had come to an earthly prince at this unseasona- ble hour he would have been scornful- ly rojected, but ho came to the Prince of Peace and he received a welcome, }{e did not discourage him by a sin- gle WORD OF REPROACH or look of disapprobation. The great- ost of teachers proceeded to instruct him in the grand doctrine of the ne- cessity of being born again hy the Spirit of God Wiale the great proph- ot of the church taught him by his word he also taught him by his spirit. Ho came with a veil over his heart 80' that he could not discorn, a3 he heard them, the meaning of Moses and the prophets; he went away with the veil removed and with his mind enlightened. He came with his soul dark as the night which enveloped him, but he cameto the son of righteoushess, to Him who is the light of the world, and he retired un- der the light of the morning, which shineth more and more unto the per- fect day. Upwards of two years have elapsed without our hearing of the Jowish ruler. We do not read how he passed this time, or whether, during it, he had any personal communication with THE GREAT TEACHER who had instructed hum in the doc- trine of regeneration. Nicodemus, after tl_m feast, may have gone to some other field of labor, © know that Jesus, shortly after this interview, ro- tared to Gallilee, the usual place of His abode, or rather of his wanderings, and so their future meetings may not have been very frequent. But when Jesus camo up, as he did, to the great religioug festivals of the Jews. Wwe can conceive that Nicodemus would wait on his ministry and might seek OM/ THE o&porhmifiu of meeting with him certain; that he 'gtillld ofven MEET WITH GOD in spiritual communion and the teach- et who had come from God, and who had taught him the spiritual nature of COhrist's kingdom, would help him in his devotion. Passing over this part of his life we find him next presented to our view in his place in the Jewish Sanhedrim. Jesus had come to Jerusalem at the teast of tabernacles and his presence had been hailed by the multi- tude who crowded” around him eagerly listening to the words of grace and salvation which flowed frem his lips. A number of the people be- lieved on him and avowed their con- victions. The people were keenly in- terested, and their feelings were too loudly expressed not to come to the ears of the Pharisees and priests, who folt as if their dominion was tottering beneath them. STUNG BY MALICE and jealousy, a hurried meeting of the great council of the nation was called to determine what should be done in the extraordinary circum- stances in which they were placed. 1t was resolved to send officers to ap- rehend Jesus and drag him before efore their tribunal. When the offi- cers drew near to Jesus they found him in the midst of the people, inviting them in the most encouraging manner to partake of the mercy brought nigh to them, “If any man that thirst lot him come to me and drink.” Before securing their intended prisoner the officers were in- duced to listen, and as they did so they found thomselves interested in the discourse. Their attention became more and more rivited, they caught the feeling of admiration which HEAVED IN BYERY HEART. They hesitated and delayed carrying their design into execution, and when Jesus finished his discourse they were 80 awed that they became completely powerless, they allowed him to pass away undisturbed, and, at the risk of being terribly punished, they returned to those who had sent them out, with this signal testimony, “Never man spoke like this man.” The council sat in stern and sullen impa- tience waiting the return of their servants, and on hearing this unex- pected answer their passion could be restrained within no bound. Here were their own dependents failing them at this ordeal moment. ““Are ye also deceived? Have any of the Pharisees believed on him, but this people who know not the law are cursed.” It 18 as if they had said, “This is a popular delusion; only the lowest and most ignorant of the people have been DECEIVED BY HIM; one moment of espousing his_ cause. Can you point to a single Pharisee, a single ruler, who regards him with a friendly eye. No, it is impossible, and cursed must the people be who are thus liable to be deluded.” It is a trying time to Nicodemus as he sat there in the Council, a time fitted to search him and to show to himself and others the innermost springs and motives of his nature. He sees the passions of brother councilors exasperated to the utmost. Not a voice in the assembly is lifted in behalf of justice. Does Nicodemus seek at this time to con- ceal his faith in Jesus as he had done on a former-occasion? No though he should stand alone LIKE A BREAKWATER in the middle of the waves he feels himself called on to speak out even though he should thus bring down up- on him the ire of all his associates. He saw that the council was about to proceed to violent measures and in anguage which showed how calm he was in the midst of the tempest he put the simplo question, “‘Doth our law judge any man before 1thears him and knows what he doeth?” In the conduct of Nicodemus on this occasion we discern courage and faithfulness of the highest order. It was o testing time and Nicodemus stood it. Ho said enough and he said no more. It is evident that during the two years that have clapsed since first we met with with him, he has made decided progress in THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, He who, at the first, could come to Jesus only by night, now stands by him in the open day, and in the face of the most formidable opposition, be- forewhich the courage of the strong- est might have quailed. *“‘Add to your faith virtue,’, the old Roman courage, a noble quality when used in defense of a good cause, Christ has a kingdom and a cause in the world, in which there is evil opposing the good. Again the curtain drops and months olapse before we hear any more of the Jowish councilor. During this time he may have suffored not a little per- secution, owing to the suspicions raised against him by the part he had taken. But his faith was now strong, and he could bear the trial, and may have been strengthened by it. The wind that might blow away the feeble spark may only kindle THE STRONGER FIRE into a flame, Everything now indi- cated that the earthly course of the prophet who had appeared was draw- ing to a close, He had fulfilled the timg appointed in the councils of heaven and his work was about to be finished. The council of the nation, headed by the high priest, condemns him. ~ Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, when appealed to refers the case to the people, who demand his erucifixion, very voice is raised against him, nm]y they continue to assail him in his dying ago- nies, when the vilest ialefactors have often bad sympathy expressed in their favor, The circumstances are all more trying than those in which Nicodemus had formerly been placed in the Sanhedrin, At that time if he was opposed by the rulers of the land he had at least the people to support him. Now, he stood almost nfinnu. The very disciples had fled in his hour of trial and only one had the courage to come TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. A fow pious women, scarcely ob- served bf' the multitude, remain to do the gentle oftices of the' dead. How is Nicodemus now to acti Does he, as at first, conceal his faith, or does he content himself, as in the second instance, in uttering a protest on be- half of innocence and against injus- ticel. No. he is now ready to brave every peril. A friend, Joseph of Ar- HA DAILY BEE: MONDAY imathea, begs the lifeless body of Je sus, and lemus joins him in pre- paring it for the sepulcher, Far above the fear, far above the applause of men these two join in their becoming offices. Tt would be difficult to find in history a bravery superior to that of Nicodemus. There may be a nobler courage, than even that of the warrior in the battle or the sailor in the storm, When Luther defended himself before the great em- peror of his age, and ‘a council of princes and prelates AN OLD GENERAL greeted him, grasp him by the hand, and sa'd, “‘I have fought in the thick- est battles of my time, but I have neyer, after all, shown a valor equal to yours,” The courage of Nicodemus was a higher order than that which forces and fights with danger; it was 80 ardent that it did not see the danger, and was in fact utterly unconscious of it. 80, Christian brethren, be not con- tented with past attainments. Be- sides this, with all dilligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowl- edge, and to knowledge temperance and patience, and to patience godli- ness, and to godliness brotherly kind- ness, and to brotherly kindness char- ity, for if these things be given you and abound, they make that ye shall none of the learned have thought for | & neither be barren nor unlawful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The true Christian does not allow himself to think that he has attained, or that he is ALREADY PERFECT, but forgetting the things that are be- hind, he presseth forward to those that are before. He may not be per- fect but he is seeking to be perfect. Like a good soldier of Christ, he will not cease from the contest till he has conquored those sins which are Christ’s enemies and are his own ene- mies. Weare to continue the contest until we have slain the last of our spiritual cnemies. It it is objected that this must be till death the ‘ln.\y that even until death we must continue faithful. The Chris- tian dies in armor, as we have heard of the warrior dying in the battle at the moment when his troops were raising the shout of victory. The last sound which he hears on earth is tho clang of arms in his final contest with sin; even as the first sound which he hears in heaven is the song of triumph, “Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him that sitteth onthe throne and the lamb that was slain,” A Renovating Remedy I to be found in BUrbook BLoon BITTeRs, As an antidote for sick-headache, female weakness, biliousness, indigestion, consti- pation, and other diseases of o kindred nature these bitters are invaluable.
