Preaching the Gospel.

By H. F. Phelps

“Why don’t you preach the gospel?” “Why don’t you preach Christ?” These questions are often asked by our opponents, who thus insinuate that we do not preach Christ and the gospel, and their insinuations have an effect upon the minds of some. These questions are often asked with great emphasis upon the words “gospel” and “Christ,” as though our preaching was entirely void of the teachings of Christ. They would have it appear that we do not expect to be saved through Christ, but by our own works. All who have had the honesty to examine the reasons of our faith know that we do believe in Christ, that we expect to be saved through Christ or not at all, and that those who are saved at last will ascribe their salvation to God and the Lamb forever and ever.

We might ask this question of our opponents and with reason too—for they do not preach the whole gospel—What does the gospel embrace? The word gospel means good news. The gospel of the kingdom means good news concerning the kingdom. The gospel embraces the promise to the woman. This was the first gospel sermon to man. Its fulfillment must cover the entire plan of salvation, all of which a man must preach or preach only a part of the gospel. The gospel plan embraces, 1. The first coming of Christ. 2. His resurrection. 3. His Ascension. 4. His ministration in the first apartment of the sanctuary above. 5. His ministration in the most holy place—a work of especial interest to the church of God. This work is the atonement for the sins of God’s people. And as “sin is the transgression of the law,” it follows that he is to atone for the violation of the commandments, including the Sabbath precept. 6. His second coming in the clouds of heaven, to take vengeance on the ungodly, and to resurrect the righteous dead and change the righteous living; in short, to save his people in the everlasting kingdom of God.

All these great truths are plainly taught in the Bible. They constitute the gospel. Those who preach them are emphatically preaching the gospel, preaching Christ. Those who preach the gospel must preach the law also; for Christ is to save his people from their sins, not in them. No promise is given to save people in violation of any one of God’s holy precepts. Hence it is very easy to see that those who preach Christ and the gospel must preach also the law.

We do preach Christ, Christian friend. We preach him crucified, buried, risen again, and ascended up to Heaven. And we do not stop here; but we preach him ministering there over a broken law, and finally coming to save his people and punish those who persist in disobedience. Be they high or low, rich or poor, priest or people, they will soon be convinced that God’s righteousness (or law) is not abolished.

We do preach the gospel. We preach the everlasting gospel; and it is going to peoples, nations, tongues, and kings. Who will join in the glorious work? H. F. PHELPS.

THE SACRIFICE.

The morning sun rose bright and clear, On Abraham's tent it gaily shone, And all was bright and cheerful there— All, save the patriarch's heart alone.

While God's command arose to mind, It forced into his eye the tear; For though his soul was all resigned, Yet nature fondly lingered there.

The simple morning feast was spread, And Sarah at the banquet smiled; Joy o'er her face its luster shed, For near her sat her only child.

The charms that pleased a monarch's eye Upon her cheeks had left their trace; His highly augured destiny Was written in his heavenly face.

The groaning father turned away, And walked the inner tent apart; He felt his fortitude decay, While nature whispered in his heart:

“Oh! must this son, to whom was given The promise of a blessed land, Heir to the choicest gifts of Heaven, Be slain by a fond father's hand?

“This son, for whom my eldest born Was sent an outcast from his home, And in some wilderness, forlorn, A savage exile doomed to roam!

“But shall a feeble worm rebel, And murmur at a Father's rod? Shall he be backward to fulfill The known and certain will of God?

“Arise, my son, the cruel hill, And store the scrip with due supplies; For we must seek Moriah's hill, And offer there a sacrifice.”

The mother raised her speaking eye, And all a mother's soul was there; She feared the desert drear and dry! She feared the savage lurking there!

Abraham beheld and made reply: “On Him, from whom our blessings flow, My sister, we with faith rely, 'Tis his command, and we must go.”

The duteous son in haste obeyed! The scrip was filled, the mules prepared; And with the third day's twilight shade Moriah's lofty hill appeared.

The menials, then, at distance wait; Alone ascend the son and sire; The wood is on his shoulder laid— The wood—to build his funeral pyre.

No passion swayed the father's mind, He felt a calm, a deathlike chill— His soul all chastened, all resigned, Bowed meekly—though he shuddered still.

While on the mountain's brow they stood, With smiling wonder, Isaac cries, “My father, lo, the fire and wood! But where's the lamb for sacrifice?”

The Holy Spirit staid his mind, While Abraham answered low and calm, With steady voice and look resigned, “God will provide himself a lamb.”

But let no pen profane, like mine, On holiest themes too rashly dare; Turn to the Book of books divine, And read the blessed promise there.

Ages on ages rolled away— At length the hour appointed came, And on the mount of Calvary, God did indeed provide a Lamb.

A Learned Judge on Avoiding Lawsuits

A VERY learned judge was once asked what he would do if a man owed him ten pounds and refused to pay. His reply was worth remembering by those who are quick to take offense and begin a quarrel. He said, “Rather than bring an action against him, with its costs and uncertainty, I would give him a receipt in full of all demands; yes, and I would give him five pounds over to cover all possible expenses.” That was his conclusion after extensive observation on the matter of going to law.

Afflictions Weighed Against God's Mercies

LET afflictions be ever so many, yet they are not more than thy mercies, nor so many as they might have been had God consulted with thy sins, with thy deserts, or with his own justice.

Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”

Died, of inflammation of the stomach, at Monroe Center, Mich., Sept. 4, 1875, Arthur E. Lloyd, aged about 16 yrs. He kept the Sabbath with his parents and was an obedient son. His friends greatly mourn their loss. The writer attended the funeral Sept. 5, at the Green School-house which was filled with attentive hearers. Text, by request, Matt. 24:44: “Therefore be ye also ready.” J. B. Frisbie.

Died, of consumption, at Pleasantville, Mason Co., Iowa, Sept. 9, 1875, my beloved companion, Charity Smith, aged sixty-nine years and eight months. She embraced the Sabbath about fourteen years ago, and has faithfully kept it. She was patient during her sickness, and spoke often of her hope of immortality through Christ our great Redeemer. She often spoke words of comfort to her companion and children, entreating them to prepare to meet her. She leaves many friends to mourn their great loss. Charles Smith.

Died, of spinal fever, at Clyde, Ohio, July 25, 1875, our little Bertie, aged two years and five months. With sorrow and aching hearts we laid him away to rest in the silent grave. We mourn, yet not without hope; for we believe that angels have marked his grave, and that he will live again. A. A. & S. M. Hutchins.

Died, of cholera infantum, at Smithland, Woodbury Co., Iowa, Sept. 4, 1875, our little Nellie, aged eleven months. She was a lovely child, and although so young is greatly missed from the family circle. But we have laid her away in hope of meeting her again in the morning of the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by Bro. M. V. Landon, leader of the Smithland Church, from Rom. 8:25. J. L. & H. E. Jordan.

Cyclone Devastates Indianola and Galveston, Texas

The N. Y. Sun of Sept. 22 gives a terrific account of the devastating work of a cyclone in Texas, by which the town of Indianola was laid in ruins. About one hundred and fifty lives were lost, and the village with a population numbering some twelve hundred is nearly swept away. Only three houses remain free from damage. The corpses were strewed for twenty miles on the beach of Matagorda Bay. The same storm completely submerged Galveston Island with the loss of many lives and a great amount of property.

To the Brethren in Western N. Y.

By R. F. Cottrell

MANY of you know Bro. Warren of Cattaraugus Co., a hard-working and whole-hearted man. He has a small property which he has earned at the forge and anvil. He has recently had the misfortune to have his barn burned, a little motherless boy he had taken into his family kindling the fire. He barely saved his horses from being burned, his hay and grain and other things being lost. We all of course pity him. But the Irish have a proverb that “a little help is worth a world of pity.”

To illustrate: In the north of England there lived a poor man who made a scanty subsistence for his family by drawing coal with a single horse. One day his horse fell dead in the street. His friends and neighbors gathered around expressing much sympathy for his misfortune; some said they pitied him so much they didn’t know what to do. At length an old Quaker came along, with a little more grace in his heart than noise in his head, and hearing their expressions of pity he took from his pocket a three pound note, and laying it in his broad-brimmed hat, he said, “I pity him so much.” The hint was taken, and in a few minutes enough was raised to buy the man a horse.

Now I pity Bro. Warren $5.00. How much do you, brethren? You are at liberty to respond to me, or to him. His address is B. B. Warren, Cottage, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y.

I want to furnish all with Conference blanks, so far as I have not done so, and then I want all to be faithful in the matter of reporting. Let us see if we cannot make a record for this year that will do us credit. We must be faithful in little things if we expect the Lord to do great things for us, and here is one good point on which to commence. Send your money to the treasurer, Chas. E. Green, Sacket's Harbor, Jeff. Co., N. Y., and then report the amount to me. My P. O. address is Litchfield, Herkimer Co., N. Y. Please use the blanks instead of inserting your report in the body of a business or friendly letter. S. B. WHITNEY, Sec.

Would like to see all the directors at this meeting. Pledges should be paid as we need the means to get more books.

A Note.

By A. S. Hutchins

To the number of licensed preachers in our Conference should be added the names of Brn. C. W. Stone and C. F. Worthen. There are also other young men among us who would doubtless receive the approval of the Holy Spirit and of the brethren should they move out in love and devotion to the work of God, and act the part they might in the salvation of souls. Great is the field of labor; many are anxious to hear the tidings of salvation, and there are humble, devoted souls who will receive the truth, and rejoice in it.
