HUMAN NATTRK AND .'
KKUGIOUS TRCTH.
"MAN A RELIGIOUS BEING."
The elm In thie and following- ar
ticles, ia to ehow that human nature
aa constituted manifestly demand re
ligion for It proper development
and that religious truth find It con
firmation by It meeting the deepest
requirement of human' nature. ,.
These article of necessity most be
very condensed, but It 1 hoped that In
thi form they will meet with! a
wider reception than they would if
expanded and delivered as addresses
In church. The writer' earnest de
sire is that they may be the means of
indicating the fact that the great fun
damental teachings of the Christian
religion rest on the profoundest and
most rational of grounds. .
Every intelligent man must recog
nize that ho Is not self-existent or an
Independent being. In some way or
other he trace back his origin to the
beginning of the race of mankind.
Whence originated this race? Through
the result of accident or chance? The
work of blind force which by some
strange chain of circumstances caused
the universe to be created with it In
habitant? The idea Is unthinkable.
Creation only too surely testifies to
the worKiiigs oi uu o v.-cr-U!,
and Intelligent mind. Such a mind
cannbt exist without personality. An
absolute necessity of thought demands
a personal Creator who i that "Wis
dom who reacheth from one end to
another mightily and sweetly ordereth
all thing."
Given such a Creator, creation 1
not the result of a whim on HI part,
but of a definite purpose. A purpose
which must be not only for the wisest
but also the most beneficent ends, the
highest good of all creation. Man be
ing a creature, the work of a Creator,
he is under a law. That law Is the will
of his Creator and la not arbi
trary but represent the highest wis
dom and goodness. Is it not folly to
think that man' welfare can be at
tained by any other means than by
obeying hi Creator?
A watch 1 designed by it maker to
keep accurate time. In accordance aa
It does this, it usefulness and excel
lence a a watch 1 estimated. Unless
it keep accurate time, aa a watch it
la worthless, no matter how valuable
It case may be.
Thus It is with man unless he is
accomplishing the intention of hi
Creator he become a failure a a
man. It 1 very necessary then that he
should find out what purpose he I in
tended to serve. Here is where re
ligion come in, because it 1 the tie
which exist between and binds man
to his Creator.
It Involves, moreover, a personal
surrender on the part of man because
he Is a free will and Intelligent being
and not like the stars which yield a
mechanical, unconslcoua and unintelli
gent obedience. Man stands out as a
religious being by the fact that he can
recognize his Creator and learn of Him
and can personally acknowledge His
authority by freely, consciously and in
telligently obeying his commands. In
so doing man show he is a religious
being. . .
Again, when comparing man to the
animals; we find that while they have
much in common, there Is a radical
difference between them, and of such
a nature that no matter how highly
an animal may be developed. It cannot
reach 'the plane on which man stand.
This difference consists in the endow
ment of man with a moral nature,
whereby he is held responsible for his
action. All hi thought, word and
deed possess a moral quality because
by virtue of a moral nature he can
know the distinction between right
and wrong. . -
Man being on a moral level teaches
out beyond the present. He is ever
haunted by the thought of a future
which Is to come after death. He Is
continually directing hi course in life
with this in view. Often abstaining
from present advantage because he
fears it will prove Injurious to his wel
fare In that future. What is the cause
of this? But that his moral nature
make him acquainted with and de
mands that future a absolutely neces
sary aa the ground and explanation of
Itself. Because the present is not suf
ficient for Its complete development a
it deals with end which are beyond
thi world and time. Thu it compel
the man to reach out and take eternity
into the range of hi comprehension,
Take for Instance the five Ideas which
some consider a making np the cen
tral Idea of morality, benevolence, jus
tice, truth, honesty and order. These
ideas aa seen In this world are tmper
feet a exhibited In the life and con
duct of men. But we have the notion
of perfect standard In our mind by
which we test the action which come
under thee head. , How do w ac
count for thia notion? But that such
a perfect standard exists. Through In
tuition or perception we have caught
glimpse of It Where can such a
perfect standard be found? But In a
Being whose nature manlfeets a true
and perfect' morality for we cannot
think of such a standard of moral per
fection except in connection with a
personal being;. Such a being w do
not find amongst our fellow men, yet
there must ' be such, otherwise the
promptings, goading and effort of
our moral nature toward perfection
aa Its evident goal are unaccountable
and unintelligible. Thus our moral
nature is like a compass whose needle
points infallibly to the pole outside of
Itself. That pole to which the moral
nature points, is God.
Let a rniin then examine carefully
his moral nature and he will assuredly
discover that It Impel him to seek
after and find God.- Because that
moral nature certifies that he Is the
offspring of God, designed to resem
ble God in character, and In God he
live and moves and has his being.
