ATIVE ASSOCIATION,

a ii,

A special meeting of the above assucia tion was held at Dundas on the 23rd Janu a*y,inst. The large number of lead ny Liberal Conservatives present showed that the interest in Dominivn politics is con- tinuing unabated among the supporters of the Government.

Eon. D. Gordon, President of the Asso- ciation, opened the proceedings by a few well choses remarks.

Owing to the redistribuiion of the elec- i Province, the posi- the Association had b- come vacant, and on motion of Geo. F. Owen, Esq., Cardigan, seconded by Samuel McDonald, Esq., Dundas, Michael McCormack, E-q., Souris, was unanimous- ly chrosen to fill the office formerty held by A. J. Melonis, Esq., Murray River.

Cyrus Shaw, Esq., M. L. A., Secretary of the Association, then called atteatiou to the necessity of looking over the list of chairmen for the several polling districts in order to make any necessary clange~ and fill any vacancies. A chairman and secretary for each polling district were then named, and the secretary was in- structed to notify the several persous ap- pointed, and toask them to have deleyate~ chosen to attend @ genera: convention of the riding to nominate a caadidate for the next Dominion election.

On motion it was resolved that the co.- vention should be beld at the hall at Car- digan Bridge.

Aftera discu son respecting the in- teresta of the Liberal Conservative cause, in which A. C. Macdonald, Esq., M. P., dchn McLean, Esq.. M. P., Cyrus Shaw, M.L.g\., Join N. Macdonald, Whim R al, and others took part, measures were taken for providing funds for the work of the association.

A unanimous vote of thanks was ten- éered A.J. McInnis, Exq., for his services

toral; divisions in this

as Vice-President of the as-ociation dur- ing the past nine years, which Mr. Mce- Innis acknowledged in his usual hearty

manner.

The President having intimated his desire to retire from office in order that a younzer man should be eleciel. The meeting unanimously pressed him to con- tinue to fill the position, and all who spoke testified to the very great services llon Mr. Gordon nad rendered the Liberal- Couservative Party.

Mr. Gorden acceded to the frequest of the meeting, an! testified to his willing- ness to do all in his power to promote the success of the Party at the next Dominion election.

With the large majority of new electors obta n:d at the revixion of the voters’ list, with efficient organization, such a« the Liberal-Conservative party has, and with the excellent record of the present Dom- inion Govir ment, there can be no doubt that the victory secured in 1891 will be oqualled, if not surpassed, at the next gen- eral election for the House of Commons, All that is necessary is unanimity in choosing a candidate and hearty co-opera- tion in getting him elected by a large ma- jority.

It is evident, then, than we -cannot ap- peal to the Christian Scriptures. as- infall- ible or inspired in arguing with men who lo not believe in Christianity since they would refuse to accept the testimony offered by them. If we are to make use of Ser pture to all in these lectures, we must only do s9 in @ Manner that cannot be d's puted by our opponents. And what do they concede to us here? You are aware, per- haps, that the strenurous efforts have been made by the enemies of Christianity, to reject and cast aside’as unreliable the history of Jesus Christ as found in the four gospels. They prove that the fir-t three gospels were copied from some original docament—that trustworthy enthusiast-; that they were forgeries; that they were written. so

to St. John is to be altogether discreitited And what is the result of these efforts ?

amined as no other book in the world has ever been, and yet thev have come ont of the furnace glowing with the brilliance of verified truth. It is now generally a/- mitted by the most lear:.ed sceptics, such as John Stuart Mill, Ewald, and others, who have studied the matter most critically and with declared intent to prove them false, that (i.) the first three gospels. were composed between the last ten years of the century and the first twenty- five vears of the seeond century. The great French philosopher, Renan, con- cedes thatthey must have been written be- fore the destruction of Jerusalem, i. e., A.D 77. (ii) These gospels were written by four different persons, writing entirely “inde- pendently of each other. (iii) That the first ‘three gospels are genuine, and two at least were written by eve witnésses of the events therein related, or at their dicta- tion. (Renan.) (iv.) That the © fourth gospel is also genuine. Ewald, the great German nationalist say: that “no man who does not will, knowingly, to choose error and to reject truth, can dare to say that the fourth gospel is not the work of the apostle John” (v.) That in the earliest times the authority of these Gos. pels was not questioned by those who at- tacked Christianity. (vi.) .That the ac- count of Jesus Christ contained in these gospels may be accepted as lristorica!,so far

firat

as it does not touch on the miraculous. (John S. Mill.) Since the writers were not separated from the events they re-

corded by a period greater than 650 veara or about as far as we are from the acces- sion of Queen Victoria, and such an inter- val is too brief to have allowed of the fal- sification of the chief events in the history of Him on whom the life of the Church was based. And all that we are really concerned with is, the truth of the chief facis. Minor variations are unimportant for the great purposes of history.

In referring tothe gospels then in these lectures, we simply do so as we would to any other credited ancient history, suci: as Livy, Tacitus, Thucydites and Herodotus. We accept them in common with sceptics who have looked into the matter carefully, as giving a generally reliable account cf the events therein recorded; but we do not ask you, for the present, to believe in the miracles contained in these accounts, any more than we ask you to believe in those miraculous circumstances related by other ancient writers,whether Christian, Jewish or heathen.

I would point out to yon in passing,that Christianity differs from every other relig- ious system in this important particular. Its entire system, its inner life and its sole principle of cohesion are based on the per- sonal history of its founder, If the life of Jesus Christ be removed out of Cliristian ity itwould remove the keystone out of its

arch, and the whole woud col- lapse into @& mass of shapeless ruins. This is not the case with any other institution, whether religious, poli-

tical, philanthropical, or social. Three great religions exist in the world, which protably number among their votaries be- tween six or seven hundred millions of thehuman family—Brahmanism, Buddh- i-m aud Mahomedanism. Two of these have known founders, yet the essential principle of all three consists in a body of dogmatic teaching, not in a personal his- tory. The persons of their founders might be removed out of them without damage to their entire systems. The same is true of all the religions that have ever existed among mankind But to re- move the Person of the,Founder of Chris- tianity out of His religion would be its destruction. It is quite true that the New Testament containsa considerable amount of doctrinal and moral teaching, bnt neither of these constitutes its inner life, Che Person of Jesus Christ our Lord alone imparts to it vitality and cohesion. The Church, the greatest of all visible institu- t:ons, is founded on Him alone. Remove His Per-onality from it and the who’e edifice crumbles to the ground.

We will new proceed te examine the character of this Christ as it is portrayed by His biographers. We have four separate accounts of the life of Jesus, written by four different persone, yet in all the great features of character they are in complete harmony. New in writing. 8 th-y did these men, ( whoever they, were it matters not) either gave a true portrait ofa real person, as they knew Him or else they drew a picture which was noth- ing more than an ideal delineation created by their own imaginations. This latter alternative we may dismiss, I think on the authority of that learned unbeliever Jolin Stuart Miil—He says in the last of

all other writers of fiction thatever lived?’ Let me call your attention to another pe- culiarity of Giese four portraitures of Jesus. say four, because the independence of he writers is now generaHy admitted, tet hese accounts been written by four men acting in concert they would never have left such apparent discrepancies lying inthe surface as in the Gospels. The peculiar feature is this. The writers do not des- cribe Jesus. They make no comment on His sayings or His acts. They do not draw the likeness of the man whoze mem oira they preserve; there is no formal del.n- eation of the character of Jesus in the Gos- pels. They do nut praise bim, they do not hold him up as an object of adoration or of imitation. They narrate his miracles without any expressions of surprise or of admiration. They tell the story of His wondrous life absolutely without feeling. His marvellous self-sacrifice, His divine patience, his deep humility, His God-like calmness, His forgiveness of His enemies, His maj satic silence aud dignity under in- sult, are all related without comment, as who had absolutely no interest in Him, or in the scenes they des- cribe. Even the story of the Crucifixion is told without any sign of condemnation of a-tonishment at the events described, and with no effort after effect.

And yet their narrative is admitted by friends and foes to be the mo-t majestic ever penned, and the man of whom they character the world

any effort, without any attempt at char- acter painting, they have delineated a character and a life which stands before us iu unapproachable grandeur. Withont aiming at pathos or dramatic effect, they have set before us scenes whieh in these very features have never been equalled by

any creations of the mightiest geuin ; and even such notable infidels as Lecky,

tenan, Mill and the author of “Supernat- ural Religion” have vielded their testi- mony to the beauty and the power of the power of the life and character of the Jesus of the gospels.

W hat is the explanation of these strange literary phenomena? There can be bat One—those evangelists are simply putting

Their work is as unconscious as the work of the sun’s rays in producing a puo'o- graph The narratives-is -so - wonderful beeause the scenes it describes were so unique and unexampled. “Phe character their simple story delineates is so sublime and of such moral grandeur because the original was so. (McKim).

What now were some of the features of the character of Jesus? Iwill give yon them for the most part in the words of a recent American writer on this subject (McKim.) His childhood was absolutely pure. The Evangelists tell us very little of His early years, but in those few delicate touches there is delineated “a holy thing,” a child without guile, with- out weakness -without sin. No other great cnaracter of history is so described. Here is a feature of absolute oriyinality.

I next call attention to His innocence.

From beginning’ to end of those three short years, the record .ot which, as Mr. Leaky, the learned

agnostic confesses “has dore more to re- generate manhood than the disquisitions of philosophers and all the precepts of mo- ralists,” He was without guile, a man of spotless innocence. “The Lamb of God” is one of the most characteristic of [is titles, and yet this innocence was Conjoined with matchless force, unflinching courage, unconquerable purpose. He was at once the strongest and the gentlest of men, the most ma-terful yet the most innocent. Now we associate weakness with innocence and the association is so powerful that no hu- man writer would undertake to sketch a great character on the basis of innocence, o: would think it possibile.

Another remarkable feature of the cha- racter of Jesus is the absence in Him. of any consciousness of sin. It has been re- marked that human piety begins with re pentance, but there is no sign or expression or hint of Jesus having ever repented or even regretted any act or thought or word

of His. All other good men have felt and confessed their shortcomings, their failures, their sins; and as _ they

have become better and holier they have had a deeper sense of their sinfulwess. But Jesus, though His words and acts and verv presence are like a pure perfume of holi- nexs, never for one moment teels or confes- ses any sense of sin or imperfection. -Nay, He claims to be sinless. = “Which of you convicteth me of sin ?” was His challenge uttered eighteen centuries ago, and never successfully met. Here is a feature of character not only unexampled, but abso- lutely different from the fundamental experience of mankind—so different that it forbids us to classify Jesus with men, notwithetanding the beauty and perfection of his manhood. “Piety without one dash of repentance, one ingenious confession of wrong, one tear, one look of contrition, one request to Heaven for pardon—-let any one of mankind try this sort.of piety god se how long it will be ere Kighh claus rere will prove itself to be the mést impudent conceit.” “Now, Jesus wageither si. less

Cou'd there be a wider deviation from all we know of mere human development ? Yet another unique feature in the cnarac- ter of Jesus was His perfect humility, conjoined with His amazing pretensions. Let me recall one or two of His utterances: “Tam the light of the world”; “Iam the resurrection and the life’; “I and the Father are one”; “Before Alriham was | am”; “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth”; “Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” There has never been any human being, unless he were a md-

His spirit is seen to be so celestial, His worth so great, His au- thority so high, that instead of being of- fended by His pretensions, we take the im pression of one in whom it iseven a con- descension to breathe our air. I say not dnlv His friends and followers take” this impression; it is received as~ naturally and irresistibly by unbelievers. Here is indeed an argument fur his superhumanity that-cannot be resisted. Let me_ brietly recapitulate it.

“Tt is an undoubted fact that there is

no character, whether real or fictitious,

that can bear the smallest comparison in point of ideal perfection with that of Jesus. It stands out in solitary and un approachable gratifenr ‘in its pyre chad hool—its spotless innocence Conjoined with matchess purity— its uNncONscioUshess if any sin—its perfect humility conjoined with amazing pretentions. Whence comes this ?. If itus that of a mere man, Ifo comes it that no other man has made a near appreach io it? Ifit bea fictitious creation, whence is it that no fictions character of the anciemt world cc mes-any- where near to its perfections? F.ctitious characters are abundant enough in anciert literature, aud the genius of ancient poet is unquestionable; How is it then. that the “creations ‘of ancient genie have utterly failed to portray a character which

even approximates ta tbat ef the Chri-t of

the Gospels? After eighteen long centuries the character of Jesus inapires the hearts of men with an impassioned love. No other character of the ancient world, rea! or fictitious, does so, But there is one more point’ pre-eminently ” remarkable, to which [ask your earnest attention. Dar- ing the last eighteen centuries fiction has been busily at work with its creation-; yet Jesus still reigns wit! out a rival. Agath, weask, what does this mean? What is the evidence it bears to the momentous questicn we are considering. Prof Gold- win Smith tells us in never-to-be-forgotten words, *°The essencé of man’s moral nat- ure, clothed -with a personality so vivid and intense as to excite in all ages the most reyérent affection, yet divested of all peculiar characteristic®, the accidents of time and place, by which human person- alities are marked. What other notion than this can philosophers form of divin- ity manifest on earth ? There is one key, and only ove, whieh will unlock the mys- tery. It is this,“*Thou art the Christ, the Son ef the living God.” Apply tliis key aud all is clear.

TheChrist is Divine, therefore He is per- fect for perfection is supernatural.

The Christ is Divine, therefore He is sin- less, for God is holy,

The Christ is Divine, therefore He is humble, for He thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation and humbled Himself even unto the death upon the cross.

The Christ is Divine, therefore He is truthful aye, He is the truth and in the de- fence of the truth of His Divinity He laid down His life.

Such is the witness of the claracter of Christ.

I ask you to take that charaster and study it for yourselves as it is portrayed by loving hearts and hands in the gospels. As you study it you mustadlmire its beauty, even as non-Christians have boldly owned they have admired it. Admire itand you must learn to reverence it for its consist- ency and truth. Reverence it and you must go on to love it, . How can you help it?

And if you admire, reverence, love it you will not be able to stop there, but there will come to you sooner or Jater, that faith which, linked to reason, worships and adores and you too will be forced to cry “Lord I believe that Thon art the Christ the Son of the Living God.”
