This text in its setting in the New
Testament warns us a-anist the
iquarnderlng of. our time and talent
here. It . gives us the picture of the
jower scattering broadcast the seed
and sowing from ' his own reources
Wa do the same thing, and we do it
in the same way. God has given us
a mind, and with that mind we think
of impure things instead of the pure.
He has given us a" heart, and In that
heart we cherish that which is wrong
instead of encouraging love. ie nas
given us a will, and with that will
we choose the sinful rather than the
way which leads along the paths nf
righteousness. tie nas given us a
body, and we yield that body to the
sway of passion instead of placing it
upon the altar, a living sacrifice lor
Him. We are all the time ; sowing
and it is well for us to know what
God is saying in His Word: "Whatso
ever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap." It is well, also, to keep in
mind the thought that the emphasis
Is on the word "whatsoever."
There is a general principle in this
whole matter of Judgment It ap
plies, of course, in part to those of us
ho are Christians. It is true that
ire shall never stand before the great
white throne if we have not accepted
Christ. Do not for a moment lmag
Ine that this will ever be possible for
you, for it could not be. God would
be manifestly unfair should He Judge
my substitute and then Judge, me
too; but it must be remembered that
or the way we use our time and tal
ents we shall render an account unto
Him.
In first Corinthians, third chapter,
13th, 14th and Hth verses, we read:
"Every man's work ' shall be made
manifest; for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by Are;
and the fire shall try every man's
work of what sort it is. If any man's
work abide which he hath built there
upon, he shall receive a reward. If
any man's work shall be burnel, he
shall suffer loss; but he himself shall
be saved: yet so as by Are." The
foundation is all right In every case.
It is laid in the good providence of
God by His own hands, but the super
structure depends upon the builder.
If upon the good foundation we
build wood, hay and stubble, the test'
ing day is coming when not only our
service, but the motives back ot the
service shall be tried; when not only
our sermons, but the thought that
inspired them shall feel the touch
of fire, when all our gifts and offerings
hall be counted worth while or worth
less just In proportion as we have had
the right motive, in beBtowing them. It
Is a sad thing to make a failure of
life just for time, .but to fail in the fu
ture and to have Him say that in
pite of time and talent we have been
faithless to Him would be sad in
deed.
There are certain great facts which
.we must remember, if this text is to
make any impression upon us, the
first of which is that we shall reap If

Sod pity you if in the face of all His

Ronnnrl. W shall rfean what we sow.
So many times we haer men (speak
ing ot young men wno are living a
nr. nf ain and shame) say; "Let them
sow their wild oats; they will get over
them in a little while." But mat is
nt true if sow wild oats, we

thing is that we hurt otners as wen as
ourselves. No man sinneth unto him
self alone. .
Tntarwnvan with the hlatorv of those
semi-tropic isles are many tragic sto-
ies which do not appear in print. An
old resident of Thursday Island told
me the following sad history. A moth
ed living on Hammond Island became
nwar that her two children were suf
fering from leprosy in its inital Stag

boy and girl, she concealed the fact
ot their fell disease, and in this she
was aided by the friendly doctor who
and the husband and
father who guarded the dread secret
with his wealth. But secreta or sucn a

Sunday Afternoon
i On the subject, "Dealing Fairly With
Christ," Dr. Chapman, yesterday after
noon, spoke as follows:
Text: "And now, if ye will deal
kindly and truly with my Master, tell
me, and if not, tell me, that I ,may
turn to the right hand or to the left"
Genisis- 24:48.
This is a striking story in which the
text is found. vThe whole of the Bible
is not only interesting but profitable.
the only reason why men do not be
lieve it is because they do not study
it in the proper way. I believe every
word of it I have tested it in all
lands and under all circumstances and
conditions, and have never known it
to fall.
In this particular story Abraham is
choosing n, bride for his son, Isaac,
and he is sending his aged servant to
his own people in a distant land, and
is giving him the strongest commls
slon which must be fulfilled. With a
magnificent camel train, which was in
every way In keeping with his posi
tion as the servant of a great man,
he sets forth. As he comes to the
end of the day he prays that when
he reaches the well and gives, his
camels to drink, that she who comes
forth to assist him might be the bride
for Isaac; and It is written "Before
I had done speaking, Rebekah ap
peared.' What an illustration ot
prayer. God says: "Before you call,
I will answer."
Prayer can solve every problem, lift
every burden, open every closed door,
make every dark pathway bright and
make earth like heaven. Abraham's
servant makes his way from the well
into the home of the father of Re
bekah. They set food before him, and
ask him to eat, but he said, "I will
not eat until I have told you mine
errand." What a magnificent spirit
What loyalty to his commission. It
is the spirit which we must have to
day as tha servants of Jesus Christ
Because we do not have It we fall.
Too many things prevent our serv
ing Christ faithfully. Wa are too
tired w say, and we stay at home
from church. We have a theater en
gagement and we miss the prayer
meeting; an Invitation to a dance, and
we turn away from' Important duties
which might make life better for us
and for othera We are selfish and
sinful, and all the time men are drift
ing to perdition, while we who have
had the commission to tell them of
Christ have sealed lips, and allow
them to drift without' a warning.
When the old servant began to tell
his story, he started In this way:"! am
Abraham's servant" 1 -can Imagine
the pride with which he said It I can
detect even In the Biblical story, the
thrill that took possession of him.
It Is never until we feel the Import
ance nf being servants of Jeeus Christ,
the dlanlty which has been ronfrd
upon us, the importance of the work
to which, he has called us, that we
kail a faikkiMi. ta tOa and those
who are around about us.
Men count it an honor to serve the
government, but they are slip-shod
and full of faults In too many in
stances when it come to serving the
King of Kings. When the old ser
vant had finished his story he asked
for Rebekah as the bride of his mas
ter's son and they said to her: "Wilt
thou go with this man?" And she
said: "I will go." What a story.
Abraham is like God; seeking a
bride for Christ. The. old servant is
like the Holy Spirit; endeavoring to
turn men towards Christ. Isaac is
like Jesus; waiting for his bride, and
the bride Is the church. I have come
to Ashevllle to present this. Master and
I say in the words of the text: "And
now, if ye will deai kindly and truly
with my Master, tell me; and if not,
tell me; that I may turn to the right
hand, or to the left."
- I only ask for fair treatment to be
given to Christ. We have not been
fair to him in many1 instances. Cer
tainly not to his Word. We say we
do not believe It when we have not
studied It. We have not tested its
promises. We have not used It as a
weapon.
I challenge any man in Ashevllle to
take this Bible as God's Word and
build upon it; to lay hold upon It as
the sword of the spirit and wield it
properly; to trust its promises or to
follow Its Instructions, without ne
coming a better ciUren, a better poli
tician, a, bettei- husband, a better
friend, a better man. We have not
dealt fairly with Him. This has al
wavs been true. When he was on
earth they stoned him with stones
without giving him a chance to de
fend himself, or permitting others to
OUCH! Lit BACK
RUB LUMBAGO OR
BACKACHE AWAY
speak for Him. .
We have been quite as unfair. We
have not taken Him at His word.
Whatever your doubts, your sin.your
hypocrisy, your meanness disposi
tion or temperment, because of which
you may have sinned against others,
if you will but sincerely and honestly
repent, your sins will be blotted out
and your nature changed. Why not
give him a fair chance in your life,
and why not start now? ,
There are two reasons why you
should deal fairly with Him. The
first is you need Him.
It is said that there is a certain
bridge spanning a river which flows
through an Austrain city, and on this
bridge there are 12 statues of Christ.
One represents Htm as a Sower, an
other the Carpenter, while another the
Physician, and still another one the
Pilot and when the peasants pass
over this bridge they stop before the
Sower, the tollers before the Carpen
ter, the sick before the Physician, and
the sailor before the Pilot. Each finds
the represenatlve of Christ which
does htm good and it is true today
that everything we need we find in
Him, forgiveness of sins and His in
dwelling which enables us to over
come sin.
The reason why men fall is found
not in their Inherited tendency to evil,
nor because of passion or lust, but
the fact that they do not allow Christ
to enter into their Uvea displacing
their weakness with His might. The
worst sinner in Ashevllle, or the most
respectable wanderer from Christ, will
find Him the way to escape from
sin.
He needs you. Christ Is never ap
preciated by the man on the street
until he Is seen shining forth in a hu
man life. When men see In us His
patience. His spirit of fnrglveness.Hls
gentleness, they will want to know
Him. '

I was once In the Slstene Chapel in
Rome doing my best to study the
work of the masters on the ceiling.
It pained me to look up. Suddenly a
gentleman approached me and said,
"Look in this and you can see the
paintings easily," and he handed me
a mirrow In which was reflected all
the work of the master, and we must
reflect him in business and social life,
and until we do. we are not worthy
of Him.
I ask you to deal fairly with Christ.
First, because He is the revelation of
God to man. You cannot understand
God until you see Him in Christ;
watch Him forgive the sinful and see
God's mercy. Study Him blessing lit
tle children and see His tenderness.
Stand beside Him as He heals the
leper and take note of His love. Sec
ond, because of what lie has done.
We were lost and He saved us. He
died to pay the penalty for our sins.
He lives to present us in the presence
of God. Third, because of what He
will do. He is our advocate, our com
forted in time of trouble, and stands
by us in the hour of death.
While we were in Austrlalla they
told me of a young farmer. 30 years
of age. who became almost completely
paralyzed. By the lifting of his eye
brows he could call attention to his
needs, and by the moving of one fin
ger, using a child's tin plate on which
raised letters were found, he could
spell out his wishes. When they told
him that he was dying, his ' mother
bent over him saying, "Henry. It Is
all right, are you quite safe?" Pain
fully by the motion of his brow he
indicated that he wanted this little
plate, and then with more pain he
pointed at the letters with which he
would spell his thought The letters
were these: "I-have-nothlng-to-fear.
He-ls-wlth-me."
When they were dedicating the spe
cial monument at Gettysburg. Abra
ham Lincoln, with Governor Todd bj
his side, entered th8 building where
his famous address was to be deliv
ered. An old soldier with tattered
uniform attempted to follow him, and
a guard stopped him. Abraham Lin.
coin immediately spoke to the guard,
saying: "Officer, let this man go in;
he is my man; he stood for the gov
ernment at Gettysburg, and I stand
for him here." This Is an illustra
tion of what Christ will do for us. If
you are true to Him there are three
things you will do for Him. You will
confess Him. i. e., you will acknowl
edge Him as your Saviour. You will
folow Him, i. e., you will seek to walk
In his footsteps, doing only the thing
that would please Hm. You will
stand for Him in the presence of His
enemies, and in the face of a sinful
world. '
Not long ago on the street ot Liver
pool in England an infidel orator was
seeking to demolish Christ, and to rid
icule faith In Hm. -When he had fin
ished he said: "Now if any one has
a word to say for this Chrsit I will
give him a chance to speak nowr" No
one spoke for a moment, there was a
death-like hush, when two girls stepp
ed forward and one of them said,
with trembling tone, "Please, sir, we
can't speak for Him, we are too timid.
but we should like to sing for Him."
and while the crowd broke Into a
cheer they sung "Stand Up, Stand Up
for Jesus, Ye Soldiers of the Cross."
I call the people of Ashevllle to be
faithful to this Master of mine. I
ank them to confess and forsake their
sins, and I plead with them to do it
now.
