A SATURDAY SERMON.

 

The Material Ohrist.

A great many worshipers, good
Christian people, who go» to church reg-
ularly, pay tithes of “mini, aniee and
cummin” and keep as many Of the com-
mandments as they can without inter-
fering with business, regard Christ as.
simply a supernatural being, who will
be content with voluble adoration and
songs of praise and thanksgiving. They
are very anxious to serve Him and to
carry out His work so far as is con-
tained in words alone. They are ever
ready with a psalm or a precept, a tract
or an admonition. 1n the intense
goodness of their hearts and the right-
eousness that is without guile they per-
mit the mind to become so sublimated
that it can recognize Christ only as a
sublime spirit, so far removed from the
grosser elements of life as to have no
part in them whatever. They place
Him upon a pedestal, before which they
fall down and worship regardless of the
greater needs for which He is incessant-
ly making demand. They forget that
there is a material Christ as well as a
spiritual Christ, and that to properly
follow one they must not entirely ne-
‘ gleet the other. ,

Is there anything sacriligious about
the assertion that there is a material
Christ? Let us see what the Redeemer
of mankind himself says in regard to
this matter: “Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these,
my own brethren, ye have done it unto
me.” This was in reply to the inquiry
of the righteous, in the parable of the
sheep and the goats, as to when they
had ministered unto the necessities of
the King. I

The material Christ must be regarded
as well as the spiritual Christ, or else
age fail to iu‘fill the law and will have
as much trouble as the rich man in en:
tering; into the kingdom of heaven.
There is more religion in a good hot
breakfast than there is in a tract upon
the sanctity of the Sabbath, and the
smile of the eternal God rests brighter
upon the head of one who is binding up
the wounds of another than it does up-
on the black robed Christian walking
along the street in gloomy adoration,
seeing nothing to “the right or to the
left, nothing but the temple which he
is approaching.

The material Christ has wants that
i must not be denied, that must be at-
tended to when first made manifest.
He is hungry at times, even for the
toodv that perishetb,and:out of your own
store you must give to Him through
the poor beggar who approaches your
gate With fear and trembling and, with
wan face and haggard eyes, implores
your charity for the dear Christ’s sake.

He-is'thirsty at times, though the
parched lips of the stranger, who is al-
most. fainting inhis thirst and who ap-
peals to you for a cup of cold water
from the well that glitters from the
cooling shade of your own vine and fig
tree, and if you turn away in scorn and
brital denial this dying stranger, you
ha re turned away the livuig Christ,
your Saviour, the only begotten Son of
the eternal God. \

He wanders over the earth homeless,
friendless and without shelter ior his
Wear-y head, and He appeals Ii) you
through the homeless brother, who

stands a suppliantbefore you, for ref-

ugefrom the storm. It you .deny that
brot 1er, yourdeny your-Christ.

Naked He appears before you, and if
your. clothe not the image through
which He speaks, when it is in your
power to do so,» you have refused not a
fellow man, but the man who died for
you on Calv’ary. .

He is sick and diseased, fainting. dy—
ing in sorrow and, distress.~ Through
the feeble, wretched, stricken ones of
girth He appeals to you for help. If
you pass by on the other side you are
worsethan the priest or the Levite, for

1 you have abandoned the Son of Man.
He is in'prison and if you visit Him
~ notyou are one of His followers onlyin

AN EMPHATIC “YES.”

 

That is the Answer Norwaik Gives.

 

Not long ago we inquired the condi-
tion of Norwalk’ 5 citizens. We asked
if thev were troubled with bad breath,
hawking, hemming, gagging, nausea,
husky voice, dropping into the throat,
bad taste in the mouth, loss of the sen-
ses of taste, smell or hearing, slime in
the throat, weak eyes, matter collect-
ing in the ey es, sounds in the ears, ex-
cessive sneezing, scabs in the nose, or

‘ pain across the eyes; we asked if they

were subject to frequent colds, head-
aches, backaches, side aches, neuralgia,
itching and burning of the nose, visions
of spots floating before the eyes, and
slaeplessness caused by stuffed head, or
by throat filling on lying down; if they
were troubled with catarrh in any or
all of its forms. And from hundreds of
throats came the answer, “Yes. In
Norwalk more than any other city in
the country, do people sufier from this
humilating disease.”

And it can be cured. Five hundred
people in Norwalk are to day rejoicing
in the discovery of the fact that Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure is the kind that
cures catarrh. And not only from Nor-
walk, but from all New England come
words Of praise. Hear what Charles
Genereaux, manager Of the City lum-

ber company of Woonsocket, R I, re- '

centlv said: -

“I had catarrh for 25 years and spent
probablv $1, 000 for treatment. with no
relief. I sufl'ered much from constantly
recurring severe frontal headaches. A
few months ago I began to use Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure, and have not hada
headache since; and as a reliever and
cure Of chronic nasal catarrh I believe
California Catarrh Cure has no equal.”

California Catarrh cure is sold at R.
H. Plaisted’ s, South Norwalk. A great
big bottle for 40 cents, and one three
times as large for one dollar.
