Lenten PastoralPIeads For
Personal Service In Lent
Ten times ha Upton H. Gibbs, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal church in
this city, written Lenten! pastorals to his congregaUon and tomorrow his
parlshoners will be presented with this the 10th annual message from the
rector. ;."'. , ' i's '.' ';'X.,'-i;;,':'V?v'-S''i
; "Old-fashioned religion'Ms. the theme of the pastoral this year, and
in it Rev. Gibb remarks:.,"
, MY DEAR PARISHIONERS:
, . It ha bean my custom to address you, at the ap-
proach of Lent in a pastoral letter. For the ten ,
years, I have been with you, I have thus done. This -
year it was in my mind, not to do so, as I had
doubts, whether the letter attracted sufficient at-
tention to pay for tha expense of printing, let alone ."
the work involved. ' However, I find I have -a mes
sage for you, which I am prompted to deliver, . .
whether you will hear or whether you will forbear.
' In one of the church papers recently appeared a
letter from a .theological professor advocating the .
, ' . founding of a new- type of seminary, which should ' ...
deal with religion, pure and. simple, and let alone
matters of criticism. He thought that the students' '
faith was upset and disturbed by having so much .
attention and- time devoted to critical problems. A . . .
: mild storm of protest arose in consequence, but it
set me to thinking that what we need in our spir
itual life, either individual or parochial, is a revival '
of old fashioned religion, which accepting with a '
whole heart, the old fashoned truths of God'a love
, manifested in the Incarnation and Atoning work of
Jesus Christ, whereby forgiveness and remission of .' -'
sins are obtained,' went about its work, in full as
surance of this faith, without the aid of any compli-
cated machinery," which seems so necessary, now-- -.
, adays. The old fashioned religion was noted for its
: fervor, its simplicity and absence of fuss. It could
- ' always be relied on, and when the call came for vol- . :
. unteers, there -was always an immediate response,
"Here am I, send me." , "..'.-' 1
: ' The old fashioned religion is that of the apostolic
. and post-apostolic age, yea, it is older, for its char
acteristics were those of the saints of God in all agos. -
It is the religion of the patriarchs and prophets of
the old dispensation, as well as of the apostles, mar- - -. .
, tyrs and confessors of the new. Perhaps its best
. definition, in its outward manifestation, is that of
St James. "Pure religion," he states; "and unde
filed before our God and Father is this, "To visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep ' '
himself unspotted from the world." As he was writ
ing to Christians, the fundamentals of the Christian
faith are understood. What he is describing is the
conduct of those who' are doers of the word and not
hearers only. This text divorced from- Its context '
is quoted by some to prove that faith is of minor im-
- portance This is very far from either St James' -mind
or intention. And in urging you to adopt this
definition, it is that your Christian faith, may have ,
.. it right manifestation. .
' Let us ses what Jt involves: 3
I. "To visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction." That is, to oersonally relieve the
helpless and distressed, not merely to give out a
dole or send a check to a charitable fund, but to .
visit. Here is the call to personal service, to giv A
of yourself as well as of your substance, to extend
sympathy as well aa alms. What a difference it
would make in ourselves and in our parish life, if
' we did this, showing that the tie which binds us to- .
gether, is a living one. A clergyman in the East,
revived a moribund parish, simply by getting his'
people to call on one another. In a short time, the
result was surprising from this personal contact and
association. The parish throbbed with new life, a
its members grew to know each other as belonging
. . to the same household of faith, , The church became
the common center, where rich and poor met together - -on
an equality to worship God. The old hymn "Blesf -'.'". '
be the tie which binds,"-expressed new and deep
meaning,. especially, the. lines: , . ,
- f ' "We anare our mutual woes,
. .. Qur mutual burdens bear;
Krr :, ; And often for each other flows - i
The sympathizing tear." . V ....'' ,
How simply and easily this change was effected,
without any. special committees or new guilds being -appointed
and organised. Only, each week a request
to certain ones to call on others whose names were :
furnished, and the following week sending out a .
reBh list, until there was general interchange of .
. visits. -" ' , .. :-l'..".';
My dear people, I call on you this coming Lent
to personal service, to visit those in affliction and to
seek out those of the parish, whom you do not or
-...'only, slightly know.- They may be in need of your
sympathy and company, if nothing else. - And in .
order that you may have time and strength for this,
will you not forego during this season of only six
weeks, your social entertainments 7 Believe me, if
you do, you will be amply repaid for. the sacrifice of
your pleasure. -r'. -
II "To keep himself unspotted from the world."
What is the world ? One of our bishops on being
asked this question, replied, "Anything which comes -between
me and God." This may be something sin
ful or it may be something good in itself, but when
it makes us forget our duty to God or one another, '
then it becomes a snare and temptation. The world
'stands for lower ideals than those of God. It is
self-centered and its spirit which is called world
liness, is opposed to that self denial which is of the .:
essence of the Christian religion. Worldliness loves
to parade itsulf and exalts the superficial things,
such as drebti, wealth, position; pleasure. It has
. no idea of the meaning of duty, except to better
one's material condition. " It has no moral concep
tions, if it advocate honesty, it is because this is the
best paying policy, not because it is, right.' World-
liness makes a man gross, sensual, selfish and lose
all spiritual insight and vision. It is from this -
; worldliness that those who desire pure religion and
undefiled, . must keep themselves unspotted, for :
worldliness scoffs at visiting the 'fatherless and . .
widows in their afflictions as labor and. time lost
Look out then, how you are being led by world
: liness. Try this Lent to live "other worldly," as be
comes those whose citizenship is in heaven, and who
"look for the city which hath the foundations, who
builder and maker is God." Thus you will redeem
v the time, while there is yet opportunity. The bene- .
flcial effect will moreover, be far reaching, not only - --
will you yourselves be blessed but also those around "
you. For it is this old fashioned religion which de-
velops those old fashioned qualities, now so sadly
lacking, courtesy, reverence, love of truth and the
fear of God.
Affectionately yours.
