SAM P. JONES. HIS SERMON AT THE TABERNACLE YESTERDAY. Jesus the Life, the .Truth and the War An Impressive Discourse that was . Listened. . to toy a Iiarge Congrega tion, v. Mr. Jones seemed in one of his most earnest moods yesterday, and his ser mon, impressive, tender and appealing,- awoke in many hearts a desire to know Jesus "The Life the Truth, the Way." He used as his text Romans ,8: 1 "There is therefore, now, no condemna tion to them that are "in Christ Tesus. who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." . ,. .. .C ' .'.'That was a wise preacher," he said, who, said to his congregation, it we don't hurry and get out of the seventh chapter of Romans into the eighth the devil will get us all. Paul tells some terrible experiences , in the seventh chapter 'When I woiild do good evil ' is ; present with " me; what I ought to do I do not, and what I should not do, . I do,' and winds up by saying 'Who shall deliver me from the body of this death ?' Then, in the 1st verse of the eighth chapter, he says the words of the text. In the preceding chapter Paul seems to have gone into a sort of psychological analysis of the law Of v?od and its bearing on the con- scences and conduct of His people. Lawis simply a straight line we roust walk, with no power to help us walk straight. A mirror reflects your soiled face, but it has.no power to cleanse it , Thlawof God reveals your, imperfec tions ; nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse your soul. . - "There arethree questions I would ask : Who is Christ? Where is Christ? What is Christ? And it is in answering these questions we shall most honor Christ and most certainly save our souls. r"There are more learned men, more wise men, dissecting, probing, thinking writing on these questions to-day than ever .before. Our lives are largely made up under the ideal we have of Christ. : "Some study Christ in His works. It must have been a wonderful thing to have Jieard Him command the palsied, man to rise, or to have seen the poor woman healed who touched the hem of. His garment, with scarcely His pwn knowledge, speaking on the human side; or raising the dead Lazarus these all seem wonderful; but go , up higher; and study His. words. In the Sermon on the Mount, about twenty minutes long. He announced and discussed one hundred and twenty principles. . "When I read Trench on the works of Christ, and Rudolph Stear on the words of Christ, I say His works and words ace magnified and we need a 'book on the thoughts of Christ, and the world needs to be led to think like Christ, and when it does, it will be as natural for the world to talk and work like Christ as for the Mississippi to flow into, the Gulf. "A knowledge ot Christ imparts sym pathypurity. We see the highest con dition in life in the men-who are most like Christ. To my mind the finest picture of heaven in God's word is not the description of the jasper wall, the golden streets, the pearly gates and crowns of glory, but it is the picture drawn by John when he says, 'We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as. . He is.' Likeness to Jesus is heaven any where and everywhere. If we would know Jesus we must go to the fountain head. A painter conceived the idea that he would put on canvas his con ception of Jesus, and after much labor he finished it, and covering it over he called a little girl and drawing ihe cover aside he asked 'Who is that ?' The child gazed awhile and replied, 'I don't know It is some great man,' and walked out. The painter said, 'I have made a supreme failure, I do not know Christ,' and he studied God's word and prayed until through faith and sanctification he knew Christ; then he painted another picture and calling the same little girl, he asked, 'Who is that?' Andthe child said, .'Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not.' -n "We can know Christ. I have had illiterate old colored men to tell me more of Christ thah;learnei D. D.'s It is" noi what ; we read or- hear about Christ, but what we know! Who is He? The world has for six thousand years been . . anxious, to know . along these lines. Four, thousand years ago the world groped in darkness, and for years had not heard their Father's voice till one supreme day they gathered together and said, 'Father dost thou reign? It so speak to us.' And the answer .came. 'I AM.': One thou sand years passed ; by. and again, bend ing their ears they said, 'Art thou still above us? and the answer came, I Am that I Am They were, satisfied until they gathered around the Son of God and He said, 'I am the Way? and the gladdest day in this world's history was the day when it found its way out of the wilderness of sin. v- -' "If I try to run a wheelbarrow on a railroad track f see it is not adapted to it, but when I see a locomotive running on it I see the track was made for the engine and the engine for the track. The WHOLE NO. 7,733 way out of sin is adapted to my. moral nature. If you try the dirt road of profanity, infidelity," intemperance., you will mier at every point. Jesus Christ furnishes the only practical way. God has opened up the way right at the feet of every man, and the way is so broad that all can walk abreast.but there is not room enough for you to try to carry a single sin. ..." : . " 'I am the Truth. . Four thousand years the world groped in error; now it can walk but into the light of truth and the truth can make us free. Call this a land of the free ! If the liquor traffic hhd bef n bought, the purchase money paid, and the goods delivered, the TJ, S.' Congress could not seemingly play more into -: their hands. And not only ..is it boss . in the U. S. Congresstmt it is boss in Wilmington! If I was a Commissioner I'd go to jail and lay there before I'd sign a license for any damnable saloon in town. I have been : informed by a gentleman of intelligence ; that your Supreme Court .has decided' that the Commissioners can absolutely refuse license and put an end to the business. Go to your Commis sioners and push them.. Preachers, preach on this point for the next, six months 'by way of parenthesis, as the old darkey said. - 'The truth can make you free. They tried to make a prisoner of John Bun- yan, but the lxra sent mm paper to write on and put wings to it and Bun- van has been flyine around the world from pole to' pole for the last hundred years. John the Baptist, imprisoned, beheaded, still lives in the heart of every Christian and is' the inspiration of eyery preacher to-day.' Let truth cut the shackles if .you would be free. ; "I am the Life.' Not only the Way to the souL the - Truth to quicken, but the Life to save. In this world of shrouds and coffins, what an announce ment. Right there is the grandest tri umph and manifestation of God. , . Do I believe in eternal life? Yes. Why?! do not have to make very deep researches. I have only to look at a bird's wing and a fishe's fin. God never made the bird's wing until he made the atmosphere for it to fly in, nor the fishe's fins until he made the water for it to swim in ; and God never made me with instincts' of immortality and aspirations for heaven until He made a heaven to put me in. Why I know I will live forever,, is because I want to live forever. God never put instincts in my soul that can be burnt out like a candle in its socket. Dr. McFerrin on his death-bed told bis son to go on and preach to his people in the country " 'and if,' he said, 'your old father slips away you'll know where to find him; you know where he has been going for the last fifty years. Bishop Hay good said as he sat by the dying bed of Bishop Pierce and it seems as if he did not die, he could almost see his soul as it swept out into glory: 'Asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep!l' . Do I believe in the , resurrection of the body? Yes. How about a man whose arm is buried in Virginia and .his body in North Carolina. Or one buried at sea, or burned to a handful of ashe? A noted chemist, in Germany, had a sil ver cup;which he prized very highly, it having beengiven him for some meri torious discovery, showing 11 to some friends in his labratory, jpe of 'them accidently dropped it into a jar of acid and it . melted like snow in water, 'Oh. what a mis-1-take !' he said, but the chemist said 'that is all rteht.' and takine from a lar a piece of mineral he dropped it into the acid and the silver all fettled . to the bottom. 'Now,' he said, 'I will send it to the manufacturer and have it engrav ed more beautiful than before.' The Lord God has a mineral in , his great labratorv wherebv he will gather h:s own and stamp his own in his own im age and likeness. " "We have had more sorrow m our home this year than - ever before and it has made -me a better" man driven me closer to God. I sat one day .just as the last soft rays of the evening sun fell on the face of my wife and I saw that the strain had been too much or her. When I married her, twenty-four years ago, 1 tnougnt 1 : never saw a more queenly woman; but as I looked and saw every vestige of beauty gone, her Sunken face and seemingly dull eye, loved her more . than ever, ' and I said 'some day we will shake hands where I will see the same roses on her. cheeks and the same light in her eye never again to fade away.'-" : - "I am the Bread the Water of Life the Door that means home, welcome hospitality. No wonder the poet sang. Thou, oh Christ," are all I want I Wil come in and sup with him and he with me.'- T shall never forget how ashamed I was of everything I bad to offer Him when I was the host and He came to sup with me, but when He was the host I enjoyed heaven's food and angels breads v., . ;'?l ' -:J.. ;If I had a thousand hearts I'd give them ' to Christ; a thousands tongues, I'd use them in His service; and a tbou sand friends, Id comoass them all in the arms of this Divine Christ.". -' Pungent Hits by the Preacher.
