“The Holy 8pirit"
Rev. Robert Bruce Smith.
The Rev. Robert Bruce Smith, pas-
tor of the First Baptist church, de-
livered another of his interesting se-
rial sermons on “The Holy Spirit”
at this edifice yesterday* morning at
11 o'clock. His subject for yester-
day morning's discourse was “The
Convicting Spirit." The text was
chosen from John xvi, 8-11. He said:
In this paragraph we have a clear
statement of the three-fold convic-
tion of the Holy Spirit, as promised
by our Lord.
First—The Spirit’s convicting sin—
“He will convict the world of sin be-
cause they believe not on Me.”
This is not society’s definition of
sin. which means vice or crime. It
is not the philosopher’s definition of
sin. which means mlsdlrertton or dis-
ease. It is not the definition of a
certain cult in onr midst which teach-
es that there is no such thing as sin.
It is Christ’s own definition of sin
which means unbelief in himself as
the Divine Savior of the world. The
quintcscence of sin, the damning sin
of all sins, is not to believe In Jesus
Christ. Of this sin the Holy Spirit
convicted the 3,000 on the day of Pen-
tecost who had refused to accept
Christ as their Savior.
The Holy Spirit Is the solo con-
victor of sin. Conscience can not
convict wile of this sin. Conscience
brings a legal conviction leading to
despair. The Holy Spirit brings an
evangelical conviction leading unto
hope. "Calvary, not Sinai, is the
Spirit's mightiest artillery."
"My oonseience felt and owned the
guilt.
And plunged me In despair;
1 saw my sins His blood had spilt
And helped to nail him there."
But of what avail Is It to be con-
victed of sin unless we are also
convicted that there is righteousness
which may be available for us. Hence
we come to the second function of
the Holy Spirit.
Second—"He will convict the world
of righteousness because I go to the
Father, and ye behold Me no more."
“Of righteousness." Whose right-
eousness? The world’s righteous-
ncls Is righteousness the goal of
life set before our American people?
Is not success money-making, in
fame or political seeking, the princi-
pal thing? And do we not laud right-
eousness as one of the conditions of
success? "Success is virtue, and
might makes right" is a common
teaching. The world crucified the
only absolutely righteous One who
ever trod this earth, and it would
crucify Him again were He to return.
It is a convicting Christ’s righteous-
ness, then, which the Holy Spirit Is
to tiling to a world convicted of sin.
In other words, the Spirit is to bring
to the world the conviction that there
is such a thing as righteousness and
(hat righteousness consists in Christ's
incarnate career as shown by Hla re-
turn to the Father, which He will
bestow upon all who believe on Him.
In a certain sense the world may ad-
mire and eulogise the character of
Christ, but the world must be made
to yearn and hunger for a Christ-like
character, for righteousness. Onty
the Holy Spirit can produce this
yearning after righteousness and
make it ours. ,
Third—And thirdly, we pass to the
Spirit's conviction of judgment. "He
will convict the world of Judgment,
because the prince of this world hath
been judged.”
‘Who is this prince of the world?
Is there a devil? Christ's words are
dear. Satan is a usurper, but he Ib
riot always to hold dominion. Here
is a glorious hope for the Christian,
for (he church, for this Bin cursed
world.
To this end was the Son of God
manifested that He might destroy the
works of the devil. But Satan’s power
was broken tiy Christ's death "The
hour is come ihnt the Son of Man
should lie glorified." Now is the
judgment of this world. Now shall
iiie prince of this world be east out.
Satan's bower has never been the
same since that time, and his final
overthrow is assured. The true Gold-
i n Age is the time when the reign
of Satan shall be supplanted by the
reign of Jesus. And the eonvirtion
that this shall be the* final issue can
lie wrought by no power but the Holy
Spirit, The God of peace shall bruise
Satan under one foot Shortly.
The first thing that wc sinners need
Is to be convicted of sin. No sense
of sin, no conscious need of a Savior.
Our second need is a conviction that
Christ's righteousness may become
ours.
And our third need is the conviction
in the certain victory of righteous-
ness qver sin, of Christ's victory over
Satan. And this three-fold conviction
wrought in us by the Holy Spirit is
the very essence of Christianity. May
the Holy Spirit bring conviction!
"Our Heavenly Home.”
Rev. Father Francis C. Roy. S. J.
Yesterday, both morning and even-
ing. services at the Catholic Church
of the Immaculate Conception were
largely attended.
The Rev. Francis C. Roy. S. J.. the
pastor, preached at high mass and
also at vespers. In the morning he
chose for the subject of his discourse
“Our Heavenly Home,” and in the
evening he spoke on the Bacrament
of matrimony. The former was the
chief sermon of the day.
'Blie reverend father chose his text
from the fifth chapter and twelfth
verse of the Gospel according to bt.
Matthew, which Is as follows:
“Rejoice, and be exceeding glad;
for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you."
The speaker dwelt at length on the
inexpressible happiness of man’s
heavenly reward. We have happi-
ness in this life—pure, true happi-
ness. but it can not lie compared with
(hat promised hereafter to those who
have fought a good fight and kept the
faith. Our earthly reward consists
in the peaceful thoughts and clear
conscience that follows noble and gen-
erous deeds done with a pure motive
and in a self-sacrificing spirit. We
lake comfort In the love and appre-
ciation of our relatives and friends,
and in the inspiration and bright
hopes that spring from all work that
lends to make mankind better and al-
leviates the cares and suffering of
daily life.
Hut there is a higher and .grander
reward for which we are told to be
exceeding glad. This reward will be
oestowed in onr heavenly home. The
example of the departed saints can
make life’s reward perfect. Their re-
ward should encourage us in our
daily strife, and It teaches us what
Is in store for those who follow In
their footsteps. The home of the
saints is our home, and it is described
and pictured to ns as a heaven of
rest, joy and glory forever more.
There will he no cruel words, no bit-
ter misunderstanding, no mistaken
visions, hut hymns that know no dis-
cord and eternal happiness and saint-
ly peace.
Father Roy in his peroration then
referred to the three subdivisions of
Ms sermon, namely, heavenly rest,
joy and glory, and briefly explained
what was embodied in these terms,
in heaven there would be absolute
rest from all the ills, cares and mis-
eries of this world. The Joy there
will consist in the sight of all the
goodness, purity and grandeur which
can only exist where sin is never
known. But our Idea of the joy of
heaven must necessarily be very Im-
perfect, very vague. With our poor
human vision it is like a blind man
looking at the sun. The glory of the
hereafter has been promised iib In
the words "He Ihnt glorifies Me on
earth, him shall I glorify in heaven.”
All the good that we do here, every
act of true kindness and love, every
deed that calls forth willing sacrifice
and righteous thoughts is preparing
.us for the glorification of our final
vinnif and lifting us high towards
heaven.
“Chriatianity and Education.”
Rev. 11. W. Moore at the Presbyterian
Church.
Text: “Wisdom is the principal
thing: therefore get wisdom, and with
all • thy getting, understanding."
Proverbs iv, 7.
Never has the demand for educated
men been so great as today. The
jack-of-all-trades is disappearing, ami
we are in an age of specialists. John
Wanamaker pays $9,000 a year for
a mad with an educated’ taste to dec-
orate hts store window*. A cynic
once aske<) a professor of Cambridge
university what they manufactured at
Cambridge. “Power,” replied the col-
lege professor. In one room he point-
ed1 out the portraits of Spencer, Dry-
den, Gray, Coleridge, Byron. Words-
worth. tn another room he pointed
out the portraits of Cromwell. Pitt.
Palmerston, Macauley, Thackeray,
Lytton, Romanes. Yes, “knowledge
is power,” Lord Roberts went to
South Africa with an educated brain
and did what heretofore 100,000 men

could not do. Knowledge la power.
John Hancock was rich and *u pres-
ident of the Continental congress, but
Those Jefferson was the educated
mind that was called upon to write
the Declaration of Independence,
which was to be the colonies' defense
before the world. “Knowledge is
power."
Do not be deceived, there are Isola-
ted examples of men and women who
have done great service, who have
not been highly educated. But every
one of them would have made more
of life with an education and have
done it easier. Do not be deceived!
The streams of civilisation take thetr
rise from enriched minds and hearts.
Moses built the Hebrew temple. Peri-
lcles fashions beauty for Athens,
Dante lay* the corner stone of Flor-
ence Corlo Zeno causes Venice to
rise out of the sands, Luther, Bacon,
Shakespeare are shelters under which
the thousands rest.
What Is an education? That which
makes the most of the whole man. A
business college can teach one short-
hand and typewriting—how to make
money. A person may be educated
in music or mechanics, but each of
these—a partial education. Unless
the whole man, intellectual, moral
and religious, is drawn out to com
plete education can not result. Hence
i here are educated scoundrels. Aaron
Burr had head knowledge, but Ills
moral nature was putrid. Oscar
Wilde was a brilliant man Intellectu-
ally. but corrupt in morals. The
brain la given too big a place In our
school curricula. Let the heart rule
the brain and you have the German
reformation: but let the brain rule
the heart and you have the Spanish
inquisition. An educated Intellect
without, Heart culture is ns cold as n
Quebec Ice palace. Neglect the edu-
cation of the moral nature and athe-
ism and immorality rule.
Think, too. of the effect education
has on a man's happiness. An un-
educated man looks out of hut one
or two sooty windows. Ha ha.; a nar-
row view of life. The educated man
lives In a bouse with a glass dome,
HI* view is entrancing and on nil
sides. The Mi educated man is a jack-
knife of twenty blades. Ho uses but
one or two blades, and by and by,
when In sickness or leisure, wishes
to use other blades he ran not be-
cause they have rusted from misuse.
How true it is that the educated man
can call on his knowledge of litera-
ture, music, geology, the languages,
lo give him pleasures. Mr. Charles
Schwab, lately broken In health, knew
hut little outside of the steel business
and when laid aside, not being edu-
cated. he had no resources within
himself to call on Ip sickness, hours
of leisure. While Nlebulor. the great
historian, was happy In his blindness
because of an educated memory, im-
agination, reason and faith In Ood.
Of all the institutions in the world
that have fostered education, the
Christian church stands first. Long
before the state fostered education
the church had her colleges, semina-
ries and academies. It Is said that
there are scarcely six great colleges
that had not their origin In the Chris-
tian concept. Christianity laid the
basal beams of Oxford, Cambridge.
Princeton, Yale, Harvard. Shakes-
peare borrowed much of his material
from the Bible, and John Muton was
suckled at the breast of Bethlehem.
Tennyson and Browning sung of
Christian hope, of the two million
hooks in the world’s lihTftrtc.c' over
one million are directly traceable to
the Christian concept. Before Christ
the stream of learning trickled for the
few; today It flows a broad river for
the many.
Lot It ever be remembered that the
educated man and woman owes more
to the community than the uneduca-
ted. The very fact that they are
trained in culture la an unanswer-
able argument that they should Berve.
City parks, good politics, city sanita-
tion, public health, clean amusements
for the people, etc., ail should he es-
pecially promoted by the educated.
“The strong ought to hear the in-
firmities of the weak," says Paul. In
•a government like ours, education Is
its very life. I believe the day will
yet come when the Bible will he re
storul to the public r'hools, not to
teach dcnominatlonalisin or any creed
but to teach morals, the sovereignty
of conscience, responsibility to God
Almighty.
Hducate! Educate! Education, In-
tellectual and moral, combined means
manhood, womanhood, a sound public
opinion, purer politics, better homo
life. Would that parents knew fully
its wortli to their children. Would
that young men and women realized
the possibilities of a sound, thorough
education. Wisdom is the principal
thing. “Get wisdom, and with all thy
getting, get understanding." “He
that, bath ears to hear, let him hear.”
