Rev. James D. Corby Speaks Today on "A Letter Sent to the Wrong Man" Spreading of Faith Is Termed Service to Mankind and Duty Imposed.
"A Letter Sent to the Wronir Man." Ser
mon by Rev. Dr. James Dimond Corby,
pastor First Universally Church.
Text I wil send a letter to the King of
Israel. That he may recover 2aaman o.
Ills leprosy. II Kings v:6.
You recall mc story mc -
girl working In Naaman's home
speaks to her mistress of a
prophet In her country who could heal.
Word Is carried to the Kin(r, who pre
pares a letter to the Kins' of Israel,
sending It with generous gifts. But
though the Kins; had much material
power, he was impotent before the
need of Naaman. The real power was
with the humble prophet. Ellsha. a
man of God most folks considered poor
and helpless. lie bade ruaanian go
wash in Jordan seven times, and doing.
so he was healed.
Power such as is represented by
slaves, soldiers, mines and physical
force on sea and land is not the
greatest power. Who that visited Je
rusalem when the Roman eagles were
everywhere in view, when soldiers and
Covrrnors compelled obedience, would
think to Dick out the Carpenter of
.Nazareth as the supreme figure in
that population? Yet Jesus repre
sented the real power of his age.
It I mention Athens you are thrilled
at memory of that classic land. It was
like a university town, witn pro
fessors, tutors, lecturers, with its many
statues and altars to an unknown god
Who. measuring greatness, would say
the little Jew. whom we call the Apos
tle Paul, towers far above others who
gave fame to that city?
F.nglinh HUtory Cited.
Read the history of England, and
know that the real dynamic of her
best civilization were those mission
laries of the Christian Church who en
tered the rude hall of King Ethelbert.
Here in the Northwest heroic figures
like Lee. Whitman and our own Dr.
Shinn. who founded this church, Ira
parted more power than most com
mercial clubs.

most miserable folks are those who

differ from an old cart horse, forced to
carry its load for a few oats and some
hay? But if love sends its vibration
over the wireless from shop to home.
It puts power into your arm and lifts
you above the mere machine and ani

Memory Holds Treasures.
Tou cannot live for youth regardless
of old age. it is all life. The now is
only the last of tho long column of
days that have marched with us up the
years. All the yesterdays are crowded
into this moment by memory. What

What books have you read? What

derstanding of religion. This is living
for this and every other life. If I had
material wealth I should use it to build

world is looking to us for light. In the
early days our church protested against
the unchristian doctrine or endless pun

out of most of the preaching. We're
good deal more interested in keeping
hell out of men now than spending so
much effort to keep them out of a lu

and lives. There is war, hatred, ig
norance, disease, prejudice and petti
ness. The powerful still steal the
rights of the weak. Our Universalist
Church is called of God to work right
here, to clear away these hells and help
humanity grow to the stature of the
fullness of Christ.
There have been some terrible reac
tions. Men have lapsed into barbarism,
but the Universalist believes with the
psalmist that 'God made man but a
little lower than God and crowned him
with glory and honor." We believe man
began low down and is on his way up,
and we feel called of God to help him
up. If ever a faith was needed amid
the wreck and ruin it is this blessed
faith of ours.
Some say. you've done a good work.
zour gospel has leavened the message
in all the churches, so that they are
more liberal. Don't be deluded. Only
two ministers in eight years have ex
changed pulpits with the Universalist
pastor. Others say, your work is done.
Every church preaches more Christian
truth today because you Universalists
are here. Is that a reason for stop
ping? Is it not rather a reason for
going forward?
Does the scientific man at Johns
Hopkins University stop his chemical
researches when other schools adopt
his findings and methods? No, cries the
world. Don't stop. Continue your
good work. Try for greater things.
Last week at a funeral a Christian
Science leader said to me: "You have
voiced our message against the fear of
death." I answered: "Universalism
voiced its protest against the fear of
death a century before your leader
wrote a line.

that has taken away the fear of God's
wrath from children and adults and
proclaimed the good tidings that Jesus
Christ is to be the Saviour of all froni

Just as the nurses and physicians in
the Red Cross feel called of God to give
themselves, their training, their skill
to every country that meets disaster,
to every battlefield, with its awful hu
man misery and wreckage, that it may
find. heal, restore, give sympathy and
help to those suffering, regardless of
color or language, helping them to live
and be better, so it is our divine obli
gation as Universalist Christians to
touch with tender healing, with blessed
ministry, every need of life, and help
men live more like Christ.
Many thoughtful people say, as they
study our Universalist faith, it is the
most reasonable, Christian thought
ever given to man. But many walk in
darkness and fear because yju are too
polite to tell others of this inspiring
faith. If it is selfish and wicked for
the nurse and healer to withhold relief
until someone comes and begs for it,
how much worse it is to keep our faith
concealed.
The best things should generate en
thusiasm. Because we have the best
faith you and I should be enthusiastic
over it. Talk it up, in season and out

FROM the Himalayas to Cape Com
crin messages of loyalty and
proffers of assistance have been
pouring in on the Viceroy of India.
These letters and messages came from
Princes representing millions of India
natives. Millions of dollars were sent
by these Princes to help swell the
British exchequer.
Great Britain accepted the Indian
offer because it could not be refused.
To have declined it would have been
of season. Today you are called of
God tq carry this truth to someone.
Carry our literature, carry our love and
help and cheer, so men will say that
man's religion agrees with him. It
makes him a better man, a nobler man.
husband, father and citizen.
In the last analysis, the strength of
a community or nation rests upon char
acter. Righteousness exalts a nation.
And the new civilization must be built
upon a religion that makes men good
here and now, that presents heaven as
the result of what a man is and not
where he is, that proves discipleship by
love, love to God shown by love and
service to all men.
