Sermon by
Walters.
the Rev. Mr,
Sunday a large congregation a'ssc.nbled
at the M. E. churdi to hear the Rev,
Mt. . Walters. One of the notable feat'
urea of the service was the hearty con
gregational singing iwihldh all seemed to
enjoy and. In iw'hldhl all took part.
The mlrtlster took for his text, '"Only
in 'the throne (will I be greater than
ithou" Genesis xv:40, the subject being
'The Tower and Influence of the Chris
flam Oharacter." Me said1 an part:
The literature of all the centuries fal'e
to give us a (more Interesting, entertain.
Ing ankl Irs:ruct1ve narraltlve than the
Hebrew story of Joseph hi Egypt.
It contains all the dharms of romance,
coupled iwitif the inspiration and Instruc
tion of fact. ' It Is strange enough for
notion and grand enougti In its moral
effect to leave Its Impress upon all sue-
ceedlng generations. The Btory of such
fidelity to God's moral law and Its glori
ous rewiartls cannot too often be repeated
in t'he ears of the youth of our times.
HurrJan nature 1s 'tihe same 1n every age.
The sniatres placed In the path of purity
mapped out before that Egyptian elave
are found everyiwfhere In tihe path of
America's young (freemen, and the same
reasons for rebalance 'that ex'leted on the
banks of 'the Nile 3,500 years ago obtain
today on the Wanks of the Columbia, In
the state of Oregon. Yea, more. The
The experience of 3,500 years only makes
more plain the .wisdom of the Hebrew
youth in choosing the pathi of social
purity iwMdh became tihe highway to that
renown culminating on the throne of the
Old W'orld's sdhooimasters.
Our eubiect,' therefore, furnishes us an
Illustration of the elevating Influence of
a Christian dhiaracter.
The word character is a generic term
and, like many words, may be variously
used, either with or without any thought
of any ntoral concept.
But wdien I prefix 'dhe word character
wlthi the word Christian, I mean to lm
part to that 'word a definite meaning a
meamitnff iflhaf transcends all, Includes ail
and permeates all 'these various charac
teristics of national, mental ond eoclal
life of tihe wWole race.
For the Ohttiotlan character is at home
In all the walki of life aniong all the
races of mankind. Moses may be
Jew, Socrates may be a Greek, Con
ifuelus a Cihlniiman, Zoroaster a Pers'an,
but Christ is a man with love and sym
pathy and salvation for ail mankind.
The Christian cihlaracter Is what the
world Us ispuillng for. It gioaned for
4,000 yeiaim for .what It at last found in
Bethltiheim's ba'be. Fortunately for ois,
we have on this coast the followers of
two great leaders of (human character,
Moses and Confucius, and I am sure 1
need but to mention these to convince
any (Intelligent audience that neither of
these Is the character that the iworld
wants.
The one be'.levlng in a 'hialf truth soon
cfhl&niges It Into a iwthole lie, and that
strange fate pronounced in the divine
oracles saying "I will make you a hiss
ing and a byword," In all nations lhas
not only been true; but all nations in
the civilized world has taken up the by
word of Eugene Sue, and commanded the
race to "move on." Wlhlle, what shall
we say of tihe-othter. You need not go
to China to see China China unmiti
gated, debased, Idolatrous, nnmoved as
a rock in 'tihe ocean, 'with the surges of
Chrlstaln civilization washing the walls
of their dwelling places. Here 1s a
otiaraoter that while tiiaveKng one way
ihos been looking In tihe opposite direc
tion for 2,300 yeara really ihe lhas been
looking backward eo long that he does
everything toaclowaiU. 'He is the danl
fin of mankind. 'He is a human obli
quity. 'He imlgiht have attended a, school
for crabs land graduate!1 iwlth' High honor.
He i.-epresents a religion tiin.it runs back
ward to prehistoric times, and at the
eyllub'.ets Kung-fu-'t.-te his eye brightens,
for It means the author c-f a faith tiiat
(was as old as the world, goes centuries
before Christ iwas boin. Time was
when civilized infldels lauded to the
heavens the Chinese character. Thai
was when ih was on t'he other side of
the wall. 'Nearer vkw ban broken the
enobantment. --
But a O.irJstlan tiiaaracter Is what we
ai-e talking about. (Who does not know
ami admire a Christian character when
they see It ami feel Ms Influence over
them.
Character in a moral sense M what a
man really Is and not wimt a man may
think himself to be..
Character is the real condition, and not
iwihat a man may be reputed to be by
b''s associate.
Reputation mty be l.'kened to the pin
nacles, cornices ami scrolls, while char
acter ls the foundation, the corner posts,
the wills and girders of a man's life.
Evidently, then the character of which
we are talking Is not the natural char
acter. What are the mark and evidences ot
the Chirlftlan character?
First The OhrMani character is a
gentle character.
Has not the svord gentleman degener
ated eomeiwihat in our day!) Does it re
quire a tailor and a )ewe'er to bestow
the marks of the true gentlemunt May
not a true gentleman be found In home
spun and fustian as well as broadcloth
ami ftne linen? Lett me remind you that
Jesus Christ was a true gentleman, not
of leisure, but ot toll. In this old book
somesfvere is written a (wonderful svn
etnee, 'Thy gentlenesa tiatdt made me
great,", and It n mikes all 'His disciples
great In the proportion that they possess
Christ's gerttlexKvs.
Second 'A Christian character is a pure
character.
HJ Jcwerih yteMed to the -solicitations
of the tempter this sublime lefttn would
never tvasre come down to us that temptation-
Is no excuse or apology for commit
ting sin. Sin Is a voluntary act cf a
free moral agent. 'There ara not bad In
fluences enouKhi on earth, or. devils
enough In hell to compel a free moral
agent to commit sin. p
What are the rewaiMs of - Christian
character?
First Consciousness of self-mastery.
It Is no smell Item for a man to b
master of. himself. it Is a power that ls
often boasted ajkl claimed, but under
stooJ by few and pomessed by less.
Joseph fleeing hatless and coatles from
the presence of .the .waaiton U nus'r of
himself and (be Mtostton. and in spite oT
(he ljlng accuaataons) tbat sent Mm Into
the king' prison he Is en the royal road
success, and sooner or later dod' win
xalt him to the bosltlon for whlon his
loyalty to 00a s .iaw tnimes ntra. . ;
Second-Christian, chiaracter elevate
' The tejipi lmpl'lej';i. previous -condition
"ot lowliness. To be elevated to ,ithe
the place occupied by Joseph might well
Inspire a prince heir to the throne.
Christian oharacter elevates by remov
ing those things that keep tmeii down.
Sin ls the cause of all the degradation
under whldh the world has groaned from
Adaim to this hour. Remove sin, strike
the shackles from Its captives, take away
its dominion, and man must rise as
surely as cork floats. If 1 had but one
proposition to make to this audience to
night it would be ithls: Christ removes
sin "Behold the LamlU of God that
takethi awiay the am of the world."
Christian character elevates by con
ferrlng tnoee xmngs upon us tnat are
elevating.
First A love for that which ls pure,
Men live as they love, and love must be
born.
Second duties whilch elevato.
The exercises of religious devotion are
elevating.
Thlrd-'By Imparting aspiration that
are noble and lift the soul out of the ruts
or sordid and eemsh alms.
But we find, however, many false Ideas
of elevation.
That only ls exalted wMch has truth
for Its foundation, the laws of God for
Its pillars, grace for its adornment and
the cross for its Insignia. Such and
such alone ls the Christian character.
Joseph ruled Egypt because he first
ruled himself. AW the 'world's great
masters worthy of fhrtltaitlon first became
master of self; and (this gives you power
to affect the uestnnies or men and so
clety. And 'then 'beyonni, in the land
where kings have lafd down Uielr
scepters, where empire's are forever
iwlped from the map of the universe,
wnere an auonoruy na yreiaea 10 ttlm
that slttciflh upon the throne after the
beads of death have been wtlped from
the cold brow of (midnight, when all the
greatness and pomp of all the ages
wouid gladly yield their baubles for
what you possess, then will appear In
priceless value the eternal elevation of
the Christian character.
