on the ground for the Queen to walk
on. His fellow soldiers then Joined
him and they Improvised a footway
over the muddy soil. . There were not
enough boards to complete the path
to the reviewing stand so, as the
Queen walked, the soldiers lifted the
boards behind her and ran to place
them In front. The Queen was greatly
pleased and held out her hand to the
man who placed the last board. The
oldier removing his cap kissed the
Queen's band.

IMMERSION IN WATER NOT CHRISTIANITY DECLARES PASTOR
Dhristless Philosophies Invariably Shattered and Rjligion of Jesus Christ Prevails; Church Alone Saves no Soul and Foundation of All Is the Saviour, Says Rev. Mr. Hinson.
"Christ and the Church."
0rraon by Dr. Walter B. Htnaon. at White
Temple. Text: Mattuew xl;is.
I WANT to say some words to you
this morning In exposition of the
faith we bold and I base them upon
the text I have read, which text de
clares Jesua Christ to be the Founder.
and the Builder, and the Defender of
the Christian Church. Emerson once
suggested that every great reform is
the lengthened shadow of an individual.
The T. M. C. A. being the lengthened
shadow of George Williams. Its
founder; the Society of Christian En
deavor being the lengthened shadow
of Francis Clark, who originated It:
the Salvation Army being the length
ened shadow of William Booth, present
leader. Ton will observe that these
great reforms would move along in all
their stately progress If the founders
were removed from them. For the T.
M. C. A- dies not with George Williams
and the Christian Endeavor Society
will not die with Francis Clark; nor
will the Salvation Army die with Wil
liam Booth.
But Christianity, dies with Christ!
And if Christ be not alive, your faith
Is vain; our preaching Is vain; ye are
yet In your sins; and they who have
fallen asleep in Jesus are perished. We
need the historical Christ; we need to
know that he was born of a woman,
and that ha lived his wonderful life,
and uttered bis marvelous teaching,
and died his substitutionary death.
But we also need the immanent Christ,
who died for our sins, but rose again
for our Justification. And you cannot
separate Christianity from Christ, as
you can separate Mohammedanism from
Mohammed. and Buddhism .from
Buddha. For when Christ dies. Chris
tianity dies. And we have no religion
today unless Jesus Christ, the once cru
cified, be now the risen and reigning
Lord. For he is the foundation upon
which Christianity rests this morning.
Aa he said himself. "I, tf I be lifted
up, will draw all men unto me." "He
that belleveth on the Son hath life; he
that belleveth not on the Son shall not
see life." He emphatically affirmed.
"No man cometh unto the Father but
by ise." And he declared of himself
that ho waa the Way. the Truth, and
the Life. And Peter understood clearly
enough that Jesus Christ was the
founder of the church.
Christ la the Foaaaatloa.
It never occurred to Simon Peter
to believe that Jesus was building the
church upon Simon. Hear him in one
of his own utterances, "By the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye
crucified, whom God raised from the
dead, even by him doth this man stand
here before you whole. This was the
stone which was set at naught by you
builders, which Is become the head of
the corner. Neither is there salvation
in any other, for there Is none other
name under heaven given among men
whereby we can be saved." There was
no thought (n the mind of Simon Peter
that he was the underlying foundation
of the Christian church. He affirms
Christ Is the foundation. And not only
so, but he also affirms that other foun
dation than Christ can no man lay. and
all his fellow apostles understood the
fact that Jesus is the foundation of the
church. Hear Paul as he says, "The
Son of God loved me, and gave him
self for me. Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou ahalt he saved." And
hear the apostle John as he asserts
that "The blood of Jesus Christ cleana
eth from all sin." And the Individual
Christian Is quite within the limits of
the New Testament teaching when he
sings:
On Chrltf the solid rock I stand
All other' (round Is sinking land.
And the church clearly la Justified In
singing:
Zlon stands with hills surrounded.
Zlon kept by power divine.
For Christ , Is the founder of the
Christian church.
But Christ Is also the builder of the
Christian church. Let it be affirmed
once more from this pulpit that we are
only saved as we come into contact
with Jesus Christ. I repeat his utter
ance, "He that belleveth on the Son
hath life." You are saved, my brethren,
when yon come Into personal touch
with the personal Saviour. Jesus Christ.
And you continue saved, as you con
tinue in contact with the Son of God.
"Abide in me. and ye shall bring forth
fruit. If a man abide not in me, he
is cast forth as a branch and is with
ered." Dtvlae Doctrlae Possesses.
We are in possession of the divine
nature by our relationship to Jesus
Christ; and thus the old life passes
away, and the new life approved of
God Is the life that we live. I know
conversion Is ' a change of state. I
know that the man before the conver
sion has to say, "Wretched man that I
am. who will deliver me from this con
demnation and doom?" And I know
that in conversion the state of the
man is so changed that he gladly cries,
"There is now no condemnation to
them that are In Christ Jesus." But I
also know conversion Is a change of
nature. The old nature receives its
death blow, and the new nature comes
Into existence. And just as the old
man Is declining, and diminishing day
by day; so the new man is coming into
the fullness of his strength and of
his power. And, Jesus pervades the In
dividual life of the Christian. r
Whfn you are seeking to solace your
soul In the midst of the clouds that
surround you, it la not to dogma that
you turn your eyes; nor Is it to a
statement to which you have given
your intellectual assent; but you turn
your eyes to the cross, and you see the
Christ, and you then say, "I know that
I am saved, because I know my life
Is hid with Christ in. God." And you
are not so foolish as to think you are
in a condition of salvation because you
were Immersed In water. You know
Dr. W. B. Hlaaoa, Pastor of the
White Temple.
that it is only to those who receive
Christ, that he communicates the au
thority to become the sons or God.
Now- just as Christ permeates the life
of the Christian, does he pervade the
Christian - church. That is why this
morning we uttered words of prayer
to God, that Christ placed upon our
lips, as we said the Lord's prayer. And
that Is why we sang:
Bock of ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in thee.
And that Is why for our lesson we
read the conclusion of Christ's ser
mon on the mount. And that is why
we give to him the homage of our
souls in prayer, and adoration, and
worship. Jesus Christ Is the builder
of the church, and he selects the ma
terial he sees fit to use. For it is not
of the will of the flesh, and it is not
of the will of man. but it la of the
will of God. that these living stones
are placed in the great temple of the
Christian church.
Church Falls to Save.
We are not being saved by the
church, for the church never saved a
soul yet. It Is not the province of
the church to save souls. It Is the
province of the church to turn the
eyes of men who are under the con
demnation of sin to the great Christ
who is the only atonement for the sin
of the world. It Is good for the church
to do all sorts of Christian work, but
it is well for the church to understand
that when it comes to the regeneration
of the soul, more Is required than the
church possesses. For that there is
required the divine energy of the holy
spirit, and the cleansing blood that
Jesus Christ spilt upon the cross. And
I tell you, my brethren of this church,
of any church, of all churches, I tell
you it is only in proportion as we re
main faithful to the cross, and faith
ful to the Christ who Is the hero of
the cross, that we can accomplish any
thing in this weary, wicked world. And
so we must be clear in - our under
standing, and our statement of the
fact that Jesus Christ is the builder
of the church.
And lastly he is also the defender of
the church. "The gates of the un
seen," he said, "cannot prevail against
the church." , While we were living
the carnal life, my friends, we thought
little of the gates of the unseen. But
when he were converted we came into
the apprehension of the fact that we
wrestle not against flesh and blood.
bet against principalities, and powers.
and spiritual wickedness in high
places. And the unseen then becomes
very real to us.
Devil Orlgimates Heresy.
But the unseen has never prevailed
against the church. O the devil has
originated many a deadly heresy, and
cast it out like a poisoned atmosphere
around the Church of Jesus Christ. But
the old Christless philosophies are dead.
and the religion of the Lord Jesus ob
tains still. Many a mighty error has
flung itself against the little bark of
the Christian Church, but always the
broken wave has fallen back with Its
power all gone ana tne ennstian
Church still endured. Yes, and the
church has prevailed against the seen
adversary also. O xou who hay read
your church history, know how great
empires have risen up in their wild
wrath, and have determined that they
would subdue and destroy the Christian
Church. You know how an Emperor
of Rome set up great pillars of stone,
on which was cut the statement that
he had destroyed the Christian religion.
and obliterated the very name of Christ.
And all the time the great hosts of the
church were calmly smiling at the
foolish utterance of the Roman Em
peror. You know how Julian used to
boast that he was making a coffin for
the Gallilean. and that In a little while
he would have Jesua Christ In that
coffin. " But you know how he caught
the rushing life blood as he lay wound
ed on the battle ground, and flinging
it skyward, he bowed down his hope
less head, and cried, "Thou hast con'
quered O Gallilean." The gates of.yie
unseen and the gates of the. seen have
alike been powerless to prevail against
the church. Aye, and there was a-tlme
too when this same Roman Catholic
Church rose up against the Church, that
is based on the simple acceptance of a
crucified Jesus, and that boldly asserts
that we have no priest save the great
high priest ofpur profession. And you
know how the fires were lighted, and
how the racks were placed In order,
and the aristocracy of God poured out
their blood.
Church Remains aad Prospers.
But still the church remains, and still
the church prospers. I was told how
once a great body of Christians met in
session in New York City, and an old
preacher etood up and said, "I under
stand there is another convention in
this cltv at the present time, and it is
a convention of free thinkers or Lib
erals as they call themselves." And he
said, "I move you that we send them
a message from our convention." "and."
said the old man. "I move you that that
this be the message:
O where are Kings and empires now
Ox old they, went sna came:
But Lord, the church is pnylnc ret.
flimply to thy cross I cllngr.
The gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. Oh; I . tell you, the church
Is like the aru God bade Moan nulla;
the deeper the flood the higher the
ark,' and the nearer to heaven. I tell
you it is like the burning bush that
Moses saw; it is ever on fire, but It
has never been consumed yet. It is like
the three Hebrew children in Nebuchad
nezzar's furnace; and the flames work
no harm to him who relies upon the
Immanent Jesus Christ. The church
has always had its enemies: but while
it has never wanted a foe; It has never
refused a challenge; and it never
bugled retreat. Pitiful in the. extreme
were it If we had any other founda
tion than Jesus. For there come times
In the experience of the most saintly
when they lay small stress upon their
attainments, and little emphasis upon
their achievements, but trustfully sing,
Two thousand years the same."
Nothing in my hand I bring.
And there alone Is a sufficient com
fort to be found. Sad indeed would It
have been had the building of the
Church of Jesus Christ been committed
unto man. And it would be a sad thing
if the church's defense rested .lilt the
arm of flesh'and blood, or in any kind
of force.. And it is a blessed thing that
Jesus Christ himself Is the defense of
the church as he is the defender of
every single member of the church.
Pertiaeat Questions Asked.
And the pertinent question for my
soul to answer Is this. Am I on that
foundation,' Jesus Christ? Can I say he
took me up out of the horrible pit
and miry clay and set me on a rock,
and established my goings?
Do you know what it Is to have a
personal experience of religion, my
hearers? If the dew on your brow be
comes cold ere the sun sets today,
would you be able to die in calm reli
ance on the Son of God as your Saviour
and your everlasting hope? Are you
being built up by cnrist on tnis sure
foundation? Are you as a revelation"
of Jesus Christ, so that aa men look at
you, they say, "Those people have been
with Jesus and have learned of htm?"
Are you being defended by this Christ
who is your Saviour? Are you able to
turn all the enemies of your soul over
to Jesus Christ? Do you realize that
between you and the. evil there stands
the glorious form of the great Christ
who is your substitute and your re
deemer? O, people of this communion,
or of any communion, have you re
ceived Christ into your hearts, the hope
of eternal glory? Then, no weapon
formed against you shall prosper; and
every tongue that rises up in judgment
against you shall be condemned. Do
you say, "Oh, that I had this faith?"
Why not receive it this morning? For
there has been opened a fountain in
the house of Israel for sin aad all un
cleanness. And the blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth from all sin. O, no,
it is not by the rites or the ordinances
of any church, or of all the churches,
that your name Is written In the Lamb's
book of life. But it is by the personal
acceptance of the finished work of the
atoning Lord. So let. us go forth this
morning from the sanctuary to show
by our consistent Christian lives that
we know the real living personal
Saviour; and that fe are In his grasp;
that we are living his life; and that we
are about his business. Christ con
strain us to thus live, so that we may
In our degree reflect his Image, and
bear his likeness, and so Increase his
glory.
