If Christ Came To
Sermon By
i Rev. H. L. Ford, pastor of the
I First Christian church, preached Sun
day the following sermon on the sub
ject "'If Christ Came to La Grande:"
I The coming of a person to our city
need not bo of any importance, all
.will depend upon .who that person is
and what is his mission; people come
end go and it is a question if the city
is any wiser or better for their com
jing. But not so of the one who
represents a great cause, und is fully
alive to his responsibilities. The For-
eign commission that recently came
to our shores, was intensely import
' ant not only to tho countries they
left but to ours. The samo is true
of the advent of human life, for each
life has its own mission for an uplift
j or the converse. It may be said,
; "This child is set for the rising and
falling of many." How true it was
jof the phophets and apostles and es
pecially so of the "Man of Galilee."
Shall we bo indifferent as to the
coming of representative people to
'our city? Not unless wo are human
mummies. If a man of wealth and
enterprise came here seeking a site
for a factory, that would mean a
.large payroll there is not a business
house in town, but would be very
much interested in the coming of that
man, and why? Do I hear you say
"Temporal gain." Well naturally so.
I There is not a man or woman in
this town who are in their normal
state of mind but aro alive and inter
ested in temporal matters, which per
( tain to this life; this is not objectional
: in itself but whsn it becomes the rul
ing passion and concern of life it is
i decidedly harmful, for the highest
authority has said "For a man's life
consistcth not in the abundance of the
i things he possesseth." Ingersol one?
said "One world at a time" and of
course that world to him was the
present one, but a higher and more
i noble nuthority said "Godliness is
profitable for all things, having he
! promise 'of the life that now is and
; that which is to come." Even our
leading legislators believe this great
truth. As it is true of this world, it
is fundamentally true of the spiritual
one. During the Chicago World's
Fair, a noted literary genius of Eng
land came to the "White City" and
being a man of spiritual character
was invited by the church folk to dc
: liver a speech and he chose as his
'subject, "If Christ Came to Chicago."
In this sermon he complimented the
citizens upon their progress in science
and art also other things but did not
fail to inform them that their spir
' itiml progress was not commensurate
with that of temporal things. Mr. W.
T. Stead was assuredly wise in his
presentation of the message; for he
was a competent and faithful judge.
It is often beneficial for us to bo
able to take observation from the
other fellow's standpoint, to see our
selves as others see us. The Scottish
bard is right when he says:
"O wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see ourselves as others see us,
It wad frao monie a blunder free us,
An foolish notion."
I do not think La Grande is the
worst city in Oregon but I am con
vinced that it is not tho best, there
is room for improvement in many
ways. A good spring cleaning up
would be n mighty blersing, for there
are many immoral rubbish piles that
would relieve the city if they were
carted off and dumped in some dark
deep gulf, or moloch of oblivion.
If Josus Came.
Suppose Jesus did come to our city
in this beautiful spring-time while na
ture is arrayed in her best attire,
what signs of promise He would see
in tho valley and on the hill-sides I
think the trees would festoon His
pathway. He might lock at the wel
come arch at the passenger depot and
credit its significance. As the Lord
of glory soueht .nn abiding place, who
would say "Abide with us?" Who
would consider themselves worthy to
accommodate Him? I do not think you
would have to worry about a stylish
meal, just a little bread nnd fish, or
common fare would do. Our master
was never fastidious. You would not
have to provide a bod of down, for
Ho often had the hill-side for a Bil

low, the sky for a covering, His com
panions the beasts of the field and
the birds of the air. The thing that
would most interest the Master would
be the fruits of the spirit, that finds
expression in real service. A fine il
lustration of this is found in Matthew
25:34-45.
Suppose Jesus did come to be your
guest, would he find anything on the
"Shelf behind the door," that you did
not intend for common inspection,
something that you in your better self
said is of doubtful use; and again
could you with confidence and ease
ask the. Savior to accompany you to
your various social and amusement
circles? Jesus was interested in the
social side of life when on earth', go
ing to feasts and even a wedding but
I mean the modern, fashionable kind
II have no doubt or censure for any
pastime or pleasure that is really ele
vating, 'but the so-called pleasures
that cool ardour and stifle the
Christian conscience I despise.
What would Jesus think of tho or
dinary church service, with its robed
minister, its ritualistic forms; would
He care about the cross-marking
without the cross-bearing, the spec
tacular display without the adorn
ment of a "meek and lowly spirit?
