OHAFF AND WHEAT.” Rev, G, W, Orofts gives Some Sunday Thoughts on This Bubject, At the Congrogational church yester- dsy, Rev. G. W. Crofts, the pastor, preached the followlng excellent sermon: “‘The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfally, What Is the chaff to the wheat?” Jere- miah, 23, xxvlii. The fitness of these words spoken by the prophet 600 years before Christ, to the present day, this latter part of the nineteenth century, see 8 great as it was to the age in which it was spoken. The main idea suggested by the text Is I think that of distinguish. Ing the unessential or unimportant from that which is true and vital, and setting an estimate upon things according to thelr true and actual value. If the langusge of the text Is not to be regarded as mere frony, we are to Infer from it that saen are at liberty to glve expression to their own Ideas, Lot men Inveatigate; let them conjecture. Lot them go out into the various reslms of thought and let them experiment and see what they can find. As God has given minds and bralns to men, and food upon which to exerclse them, let them glve thought to these varlous subjects. Even as the mother eagle would have her eaglets spread thelr wings upon the alr, He would have us to glve rein to our thoughts, I believe that Ged does not, and that our religlon does not put bonds upon man’s mind, like the Chinese do upon the feet of thelr children that they may grow no more. A small foot may be beautiful in the eyes of the Ohinese but a small mind is not beautifal. I do not bellevo that God, our heavenly father, in offended avany of the outreachlugs of sclence, or at the apparent cenflicts be- tween the theorizings of the scienlsts and the theologlans. 1t their theorles are false they will In good time be shown up. No man In this world knows the truth half g0 well as the man who knows the false. Truth and homanity are ever advanced by the investigation of man, and therefore we are not to hinder them in thelr investigations, nor In their dreams. But lot no man come forward with his fancies, or concelts, or dreams, and aesert thelr infallibility. Lot no man come out of his study and say that he has discovered the truth, and that he alone is able to raveal the great problem of life unto the children of men—that he has dfscovered the golden key to all these great secrcts, and to all the won-— derfal mystorfes. Men may think hon- estly and sincerely, and question those thoughts. But no man can question the truth for that is eternal, ‘‘Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.” Christ said: “‘Sanctlfy them (His disctples) through thy truth. Thy word is trath.” To say “What Is the chaff to the wheat?” is as much as to say that theories are all chaft as compared with word and revealed wisdom of the Almighty. There are several ideas to ba derived from this text. Firat, the evidence of the primi- tlveness of the Word of God, secondly, our relatlon thereto as teachers and promulgators of the word, and thirdly, our discrimination In regard to wkat s valuable and what is valueless in the realms of thought. whole reslm of literature, and how vast is that realm to-day, what book among all of them can equal and take the place of the bible? It is cot like other books. It is not a result of clvilization, growth and mental culture, but the basis of all progress, It not the fralt, but the root of civilization, Confucius, the Chinese sage, was sim— ply & compiler—a great student who gathered up the wisdom of the past wherever he could find it, brought it out and put It together. That was his own frank, honest confession. He acknowl- edges that he was not the orlginator and the author of those thoughts. But the word of God was not such a growth of progress but the prompter of progress. 1 do not say that the writings of others are not instructive, and beautifal, but that so far as belng Inspired they are as chaft when we come to What book In the |3 70 compare them with the divine word of God, Prince Metternich, that great man, that mature mind, when he came to the age ot maturity, after read- ing the bible at various ages, declares it to be an unconquerable book, saying, ‘‘In a word I belleve, and dispute no longer.” ‘What s our relationship to this book as teachers of this word? While we be- lieve in the universal distribution of the word, it must be taught so that it will be understood in its beauty and purity by all clasees. In the first place the teacher himself wants to appreciate that word; we want a vast apprecistion of the word of God, We must realize that it is a greater work than other in the realm of litera- ture, and form an adequate conception of its grandeur, greatnessand truth, It must be apprehended that it must be a thorough understanding of and acquain- tance with the word of God more than anything elss which men need to prepare them for this life, and the life which 1s to come. We must spesk this word falthfully as teschers. We must set forth its power and evident meaning, but we must shape our ideas by the rules which God has revealed. We ehall find those by the faithful preservation of the word of God, It is by thls means that men are to become truly converted., Regarding the Word in {ts relationship to other works, 'What is the chaff to the wheat!
