THE LAST JUDGMENT
By WILLIAM JENNI.NliS BIsrAN
V
While our text for today deals with
a subject of Bupreme importance, the
Wessons which it teaches are on tho
surface and easily understood. They
are intensely practical, also, so that
evervone can apply them in his daily
' I life.
'f First, there is to be a judgment
.'A day.
'A A final day of accounting is neceB
. t-ary if there is to be anything among
!(mon worthy of the name of justice
It is impossible for either rewards or
' punishments to be decreed intelli
gently in this world. ,
While the laws of God, the reveal
d laws and the laws of nature, are
enforced to some extent by immediate
benefits or chastisements, equity can
''Bot be administered in every case or
4n most oases immedintely; -especially
this true where the offense is
committed 1 against a fellow ? being.
Many criminals arc not caught and,
; therefore, escape human penalties
entirely. It is inconceivable that a
i just God should permit the guilty
A to escape merely because they are
able to elude court officials.
A Necessary Restraint
Such matters cannot be left entire
S Jv to conscience because the con
science may become scared and lose
its power to inflict anguish upon the
') guilty. The books must be balanced
' nftcr the career is completed, and by
a Judge who is fully informed and
.: jncnpable of showing partiality or
V prejudice.
Then, too, belief in a judgment day
' is necessary for he restraint of man
.' in hours of temptation. He is weak
enough even when he knows that he
cannot escape punishment for wrong
-; doing; what would man be im he dia-
(urded all thought of God and, with
it, nit thought of a future life with
its adjustments and the final account-
. f ing for deeds done iu the flesh?
One of the alarming features of the
present day situation is that the put-
h ting of God far away and the raising
f of questions as to tho existence of
a personal God are making inen in-
j different; life is no longer deemed
precious.
I Many act as if they recognized no
accountability beyond the wholly in
i adequate penalties that human law
1 prescribes. The world is sorely in
ji need of n quickened sense of respon-
sibility; it is the only sure and per-
innnent cure for the evils that thrive
in spite of our civilisation.
k The Groat Judge
t Second, Christ is to be the Judge.
He shall come in his glory, and all
s the angels with him . . . and before
. him shall be gathered all nations,
v Josus leaves no doubt as to His
u dii-ty; Ho is the equal of the Father
- and has authority to administer judg-
; innt.
Our court roonii are often crowded
with curious spectators drawn by
,v liiierest felt in an important trial.
J Tlic parties to the suit are present;
.i. tlx1" witnesses are eallrd and exam
v med and, finally, the verdict of
'guilty' or "not guilty" is pronounc-
j rd. Hut these court room scenes.
- f a miliar to all, bear but little re-
semblance to the session of tjie
World Court over which our Lord
i and Saviour will preside.
1 Every human being will be there,
; rot to hear what is said about otb
' er, but to answer for himself. Each
will be too deeply absorbed in his
on case to pay attention to the
(hmges filed against others. There
will be no lawyers objecting to ques
. turns as "immaterial, irrelevant and
? i ot proper cau-e of examination."
The books will be opened and each
thought and word and deed, recorded
v !rt.r by day, will testify for us or
; ivrtinst us, and our conviction or
Remittal will be decreed by One who
t uumt err.
t Christ Ever Present
Tii: Bible text declares that Christ
is potentially present In every life; their selfishness they were withhold

eaeh lost in the multitude. They could
expect no return from them why
should they wnste time or money
or even sympathy? What mattered
it if. they were hungry or thirsty or
strangers or naked or in need of corn-
all the wrongs done to all His people,
and as conferred upon Himself all the
kindnesses done to His people: t
We have proof here that the indi
vidual will be judged by his conduct
toward his follow men. Faith and
works cannot be separated.' Faith fort?

tion; he says that the spring does not i in our present dnv civilization, the
ask who is benefitted by its waters, unrighteous are guiltv not only of

but, as a matter of fact, the great I in olderi times there were instru
philosopher ndds, the water sinks j ments of torture which inflicted un-
into and sntisfjes the first thirsty
ground that it finds.
How the Righteous Give
And so to apply the illustration;
the righteous simply pour forth, in
tent upon giving rather than upon
knowing who it is that receives. And
another thought mny be added; what
matters it whether the thirsty land
gives expression to its thanks? The
virtue of the spring cannot be lessen
ed by the failure of the soil to express
gratitude.
So with the righteous;, they have
done their duty when they bestow;
they should not be distressed if those
whom they oid are as ungrateful as
the nine lepers of whom we are told
in the Bible.
Here again we are reminded that
the really fruitful seed is that which
is cast upon the waters without cal
culation of return, and the explana
tion is, very Riniplc. Those who do
nothing until they are sure of a re
turn spend time figuring that they
should spend acting' and, therefore,
cannot sow much send. -They labor
in a very limited field ar.d rnnont ex
pet a generous return. But those
who have a passion for service and
give because giving is a pleasure sow
such a quantity of seed that the crop
is necessarily large.
Unconscious of Merit
In our text the righteous were un
conscious of their merit; they had
given without inquiring about the re
ward. When Christ invited them to in
herit the kingdom prepared for them
"from the foundation of the world,"
and told them that they had given
Him food to eat when He was hung
ry, water when Ho was thirsty, and
had provided shelter when He wbh a
stranger; that they had clothed Him
when Jle was nnked, visited Him
when He was sirk, and comforted
Him in prison. they were surprised
j and inquired when they had rendered
the service described. They were in
formed that they had ministered unlo
'Christ when,Lhey hud ministered unlo
the last of Jin brethren.
What more inspiring message conld
Christ have left to the ages on the
eve of His departure to heaven by
way of the cross and the tomb?
It would transform humanv rela
tionship if fn each of our fellowmen
we could visualize the suffering of
our Saviour if we could look upon
each as one for whom Christ died. If
the least of the children of men was
worth so much in the yes of the
Heavenly Father and His only be
gotten Son, how can we be indifferent
to enrh other?
The Astonished Unrighteous
AM the unrighteous- they, too,
were surprised.
It never occurred to them that in
berable pains on the body; todav
public sentiment has banished physi
cal torture, but new methods have
been devised which are scarcely less
cruel and hardly less criminal. It has
been necessary for tho government
to resort to nil sorts of verbal re
finements to reach those guilty of
doing injury upon n large scale.
An Offense Against God
Note, for instance, the pure food
laws, made necessary by conscience
less adulteration of food ; an anti
option law which seeks to protect
producers from those who by specu
lation suspend the natural laws of
supply and demand; and the anti
trust laws which make lt-unlnwful to
create and operate private monopo
lies. .Suchjnws as those above re
ferred to would be unnecessary if ev
ery man iu business -even every
Christian in business recognized
that an injustice to the poorest and
least influential of his customers in
an offense against the Saviour Him
self. In conclusion, a word in regard to
the duration of the punishment
There is no reason why punishment
should not be as eternal as reward.
The choice is freely made and the
effect of sin in as lasting as the ef
fects of righteousness. When one 1b
guilty of wrong doing, he sets fn mo
tion influences thot continue through
out time. For instance, the killing
of a father or mother or sister or
brother or child reacts upon many
who shall number or estimate the
consequences of such an net?
No Rehearing
Christ, who is to be the Judge,
warns us that there will be no re
hearing n,frer He has pronounced
judgment. Who will impeach His
sense of Justice? Why incur the risk
involved in a rejectiou of His coun
sel and a repudiation of His author
ity? The path, though narrow, Is
all and works are within the power
straight. Faith is within the reach of
of all. "The Lord ... is not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance."
FATRMOUNT PRESBYTERIAN i
E. L. Wiuterberger. minister. The
attendance nt the Sunday school and
church services have been very good
even in the coldest and stormiest
weather. We are trying to give the
children of Fairmount the best pos
sible in Bible instruction and church
services. Our growing school bos
made necessary the construction of a
new building to house the primary.
This will soon be ready for occu
pancy. Wc are already assured that
the parents of the little children ap
preciate this move. Strangers find
here a church home and delightful
fellowship in the Master's service.
We have one objective, one aim. That
aim is big enough to occupy all our
power. Namely to exalt the Christ.
We would appreciate your help to
this end.
