TOPICS OF OMAHA PULPIT Dr. Duryea Talks in an Inteiresting Manoer About Chrisimas Time. “THE BIBLEA STUMBLING BLOCK" A Sermon by Rev. Mr. Lamar— “pregbytevian Beliel” by Rev. Harsha—~Immanual Baptist Ohurch Dedicated. Dr. Duryea's Sermon. Dr. Duryea took for his text yesterday morning at the First Congregational church, Luke ik, 10-14, “And the an sald unto them, fear not, for benold, I bring unto you tidings of great joy which shall be to all peo ple * 4 ¢ g to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men." “When 1 was & youth,” said the speal “‘there wus nothing sweeter to me than song of the nativity at Christmas time, “'It wus a sad, g wiul day on I had received that mental equipment whereby udgo of the truthfulness of But wh o was founded on & basis, D like a slave, long scholastic traiui that point. But now nothing sweeter 10 me than to kneel as 1 did years 830 at My mother’s kneo listen to the story of the birth of ( . *I3ut, says the reader of Robert Elsmere, Do you not wonc at there are 8o many supornatural manifestations I do not. But I do wonder that God can ever keep his bands off us. Yes, there is all about us manifestations of his vower. The atmos- phere is teeming with life. Thero are worlds about us spirituaily akin but physi- cally diverse, *It was intended that man should be social. The solitary being might as well be dead. Will you at this Christmas time be receptive of the testimony that rests on the surest ground! Lvery word offered us by the angels are those of joy, ‘Theso angels bring us tidings or—as” the word is commonly translated—the gospel, which means good spell. The angels know our state and afore- time express our dignity and joy. They camo &8 ministers of our salvation. They not only said that they brought good tidings, but also sang “'glory to God in the highest.” Song i8 generally characteristic of high and joy- ful feeling. The tone of the angel is the tone of every missionary of Jesus Christ. Wherever we gather where the gospel 1s taught the pluce should be bright and pleas- ant, peaceful ana jovful. Let the children 100k upon it not only as & sacred spot but s one sacred to the affections. Let i be a placo from which a man €0 away broadened, deepen ossessed of a grander purpose, Sometimes think that the gloomy places of worship should be closed up. Our mock solemnity and tho pwful dreariness which pecple call the service of God should be stopped. Many carry u fallen brow and darkening eyes in the bouse of the lord, forwetful that it is their mission not only to break out into song but also into laughter. The word peace as used by priest, prophet.and statesman means in perfect order, in perfect harmony, The man rightly balanced, rightly organized, has all his facuities in perfect harmony. Ha'says the right word 10 the righe place and at the righttime. When a man is so organized he is always in quict, repose aud peace. He is the force and center of his family. His presence is an inspiration. His prudence, goodness and fairness govern l-l‘f‘ His influeuce 15 the same in business e, **So lonz a8 ministers narrow themselves to the little game of logic and say, “Believe, or be damned,” the world will turn its back upon the church, *‘How dismal and doleful the pulpitin days gone by, [f a mun is sick would the physi- cian called in put on s doleful fuce and expel all the light from hiseye! Or wouldn't he rather put on a bright face and do all in his power to draw out the latent energies of the sick man. So it should be with preachers. Insteud of telling us of the physical torments of hell, whicl never were or could be, they should follow the exampla of the angels who came as heralds of great joy. “‘We should be kind hearted toeach other, bring jov to the joyful and comfort to the sorrowful,” the The Bible a Stumbling Block. Rev. A, W. Lamarof the First Baptist church took for his subject yesterday morn- ing *The Bibie a Stumbling Block as to Miracles and Teachings.” His text was II. Peter iii, 16: *In which are some things hard to beunderstood.” “Bunyan in hisallegory,” said the speaker, ‘“tells us that there was between, the city of destruction and the wicket guté a certain piece of bad land called the Sloughof De- spond, in which Christians and othors fell when thoy set out on their journey for tne better land. “It seems that nosoul can puss through that transition, which is described as passing from death to life, without crossing swords with the devil. Sometimes the fight comes {rom long cherished hubits of sin; sometimes frow intellectual bias; sometimes from out- side o position; sometimes from spiritunl gloom, ‘A common source of discouragement which may be compared to this Slough of Despond and which overtakes most men is a period of scepticism. While all men have dealt to them a measure of faith, it is also true that a period of scepticism comes to al- most all young men. They pass through a process of intallectual couflict which snakes them to their very foundation, if 1t does not wreck them, This period of doubt either leaves them more firmly rooted and grounded in the truth or leaves them torn up by the roots aud ready to perish. The fact that one has been reared amid religious surroundings from his infancy does not always shield him from this period of doubt. It Is far better to be trained in right than in wrong knowledge. As it is therefore no srgument against correct knowledge that one was trained to it, 50 it is no argument against one’s reverence for the bible that he ‘was brought up from infancy to believe in it, The unbeliever may say that ‘those who are influenced by the bivle are only so influ- enced because they were reared to believe in it Ho declares that he ‘cannot any longer aceent its teachings with the coufidence that he had when a child or with the coufidence that his parents exhibit, ‘There are things in the bible, says he, lth\’\h utterly forbid me accepting it.’ hat are pome of these things which have become stumbling blocks in the way of his spiritual advancement? The miracles of the bible and some of its teachings are some of these insuperablo dificuities As to the miracles, It is claimed “In the lunguage of Dr, Faunce I would say: ‘‘When a man asserts that mivacles are ampossible he should stop and uek himself if he is aware of what he assumes; 18 he aware of the prodigious dificulties he takes upon bimself! He says miracles are impossible, How does he know{ Is he omniscienti -Is be omnipresent] Does he know all things that have transpired, or that are transpiring in the universei If mnot, then that thing which he does not know way be a miracle,” **Now it is claimed by objectors that wira- oles cannot be wrought “because of the sta- bility of natural law.” 1f that be true, then God has entombed himself in his own law and has abdicated his authority and power. But [ seo nowhere in the bible ‘an iutimation thut God has done any such thing, an- other has said, *T'he law of nature is God's usual way of doing a lhinr. and a miracle is God's unusual way of doing a thing.

J. Harsha, D.D., yesterday moraing. The text was in the 56th Psalm and the 4th verse, ‘‘HBlessed is the man whom thou choosest.” M. Harstia sud in briel “The old oth inister is a L a Presby- when be I think thore is a at deal of truth in the remark, and I will tell you why. Truth ia spherical and the finite mind can only take in one side of it at | @ time, “Iverywhero in the bible we come upon illustrations of the two-sidedness of trutn, Inspiration itsolf has its divine element and its human element; of any given passage you may say: ‘God wrote it,’ or ‘Isaiah or Jolin or Paul wrote it.” So of Christ when he tavernaclod among men, there waus lis divine side and his human side; somectimes hie spoke from one and sometimes from the other, ‘The same is true of faith, it has its two sides. Everyone is commanded to exer- cise it and yet it is spoken of the gift of G It is the same with the doctrine of the perseverance of tho saints, B3t let us come to the doctrine of elec- tion, for which the Preshyterian chucch has received some hard knocks. I have no dis- vosition to deny that the doctrine of elec- tion is the fundamental part of our confes- sion of faith. ‘The men who framed it were read in all poilosophical lore, as woll as deep thiukers themselves, and the consequeace Is that we have a system of belief constructed soverely from the divine standpont. spiritual fathers took their piace in fancy be- side the whrone of God and tried to look at all things as God looks at them, Hen he position of our confession on the sovereignty of God. the inability of man, effectual call- ing, election and_the perseverance of the saints. No objection > made 0 our confession that does not equally apply to the thirty-nine articles of the Church of Eng- land and the creeds of all orthodox Congre- gational churches. These as well as the creeds of the Baptist churches are all Cal- vanistic, i e.: the divine standpoint. *'Now, you may go out into the flelds in autumn, and you may say, ‘God elected to give this harvest,’ or you may say, *This hurvest is the result of the toil’ of the hus- bundmun.’ In one case you would be speak- ing Calvanistically u in the other from the Arminian pomt of vi Both statements rue, So L believe that you may say of a saved sinner, *God hath chosen him out of the worla and made him an heir of heaven;’ or you may say, ‘By the exercise of his freo will that man has accepted Christ anu now he is redeemed.’” Both statements are true. Some men by the constitution of their minds are inclined to the Calvanistic way of putting things and some to the Arminian ways in otner words, some are loftily log- ical and some are concretely practical, and 80 one becomes a Presbyterian and the other a Metkodist, Well, then, for the changes fn our faith in the last few years. It is common for the daily papers 1o say that we Presbyterians do not beheve at all us our fathers did. This charge js partly true and partly fulse. As with the Catholics, we have not departed from the fundawentals of our faith, but we haye given up some of its foolisn resultants and corollaries. A majority of our ministers ieve in Calvanism just as strongly as the leaders of the church ever did, but we no longer think that we should give such prowm- inence to the philosophical side of the truth,- or the divine sido as I have called it. While we are here on earth we have zo business to worry ourselves over God's side of things. The mind always gets into trouble when it busies itself with explanations of the things reserved from us. We Presbyteria come to believe with Sam Jones can be elected until be is a candidate. it is the cundidaje side of things that prac- tically concerns us here on earth. Carlyle used to advocate “the divine average,” and that is what we of the modern Presbyterian church are trying to strike. “Consequently with our members wo are the most liberal denomination in the world, We do not require them to subscribe to our confession, Lot because we are ashamed of it or because we do not pelieve it for our- selves, but because we have progressed be- yond the position that an assent to a phil- osophlcal creed is necessary 10 salvation. If @ wau believes in the Lord Jesus and is con- vinced that he has passed from death uato life through the regenerating power of the Holy Gho: we gladly receive him 1nto our church withouv asking him to subscribe to any creed or promise, not to dance or play cards., Simply faith in Christ and a godly walk and conversation are our only requisites to membership “Now [ adwit that the farmers of our con- fession put in an ambiguous clause in regard to ‘elect infants dying in infancy.” It was inserted to head off the Roman Catholic doc- trine of Baptismal regencration. We have always believed that infants dying in nfancy are saved whether they are baptised or not, That is what the phrase means; but I would have no objections to revising it 8o that it should be perfectly plaiu. And [ admit that our sturdy old fathers put it rather strong in using tha word _predestination in connection with the lost, 0 respectable Presbyterian ever taught that God has predestinated a single man to perdition in the sense of mak- ng 1t impossible for him to be saved if he wanted to be. Every Christian believes that *God desireth not the death of any sinner.” He wants all men to turn and have life; and I should not object to the revising of our book 80 that this would more plainly appear as our teaching, *On the whole [ say, let the grand old confession stund just as it is, or with the slight changes L have mentioned. Lot it stand as man's severest statement of the- ology from the divine side. It 18 easy to criticise 1t from the stanapoint of the emo- tions, or from that of mere human sentimen- tality; but I defy ary man to disprove it from the bible. However, let vs leave it at one side. We are concerned here with the human hemisphere of truth. It is enough for us that we may preach *Whosoever,” witibout troubling ourselves about the doc~ trine of election. God will tuke care of that, as Ho will of the harvest if man sows the sced, If you take a little hyarogen and a little chloride into a dark room and try to mix them you will fail. They will not come together, Butopen the shutter and let in a single ray of light, and they will spring to- gether with a loud report. So in our dark earthly labratory we try to unite divine sov- eignty and buman freedoimn, but they will not come into humonx. But when a ray of heaven bus dawned upon us we will seo them coalesciug amid the songs of the redecmed. conceived from Immanuel Baptist Church, Immanuel Baptist church, at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Bionoy streets, was formally dedicated yesterday afternoon, ‘The church has just been completed and 18 » model of neatness aud good arrangement.

The dedicatory services were opened with congregational -msiux. invocation, seripture reading, prayer and a soprano solo by Mrs, 5. E, Clavp, after which the pastor of the church, Rev, Frank W. Foster, introduced Rev. H. C. Woods, D.D., of Lincoln, who de- livered the dedicatory addreas. Rev. Woods' address was lengthy and of great interest, He dwelt principally upon the advantage of small congregations over large ones, in that they usually do some more effecuve work and not so liable to be led away from the work of Christ by the tempta- tions of worldly thin, ‘Ollurod buldlags Were good thisgs sud hould be built if possible, but they sh not be made tha sole aim of tho people.

Chrisiexists on earth today, and without the church would fail to accomplish nis mission. The speaker admonished the members not to be led away from thewr duty by any ox- cess of zeal, but to be careful that their ef- forts be put forth in the rigit direction and then tho church would be a power in the community. The study of the members should be to render the church and services as attractive as possible. Congregational singing was recommended as the best hossi- ble thing. Every legitimate means should be used to gather in the people, but let them feel that God and His glory are the objects of the church and not the tickling of their own fancy The Rev. & W speaker, und addres a fow minutes. e congratulated the membership of the new church on behnlf of the members of his egation, and said he was glad to see a new church in tho city and hoped thero would soon be more. The mission of the church is to speed the kingdom of Christ, and this is best accomplished by establishing branches. The speaker then advised the new coagrewation as to the vest methods to be pursued to increase in membership and power for doing good, by attending church regularly and upolding their church 1 the oyes of the world. In this way they would induce others to join them and take an nc- tive part in the work, Mr. J. W. Harris, chairman of the building committee, was next introduced, and re- quested contributions from the members for the purpose of meeting the first payment on the church, He succeeded in raising §1 ashort time, This, with the amount aire pledged, will mako a total of about $2, which will leave a balance outstan #1500, no part of which is duo for another year, when a #500 payment falls due.
