g- 1r- the sor in- vill ive nd 'he nd "eV E ee TT war - . in it God came awfully - i Ww Gibson's Drug tore, Thedlogians id ' ' Rev. Ernest Thomas, of Lachute, Que., delivered an able and profound address at the weekly Sunday service in Convoeation hall, yesterday aiter- noon. The subject of the address was found in the relation of religious life to its changing forms of expression. Joseph's coat was brought to his father soiled and torn and the old man jumped to the conclusion, "It is my son's coat. Joseph is, doubtless, torn in pieces." In this mode of rea- soning he ig . fpllowed by manv shrill voices to-day.fden, in the spirit of Mark Antony, inflame passion and cause pain by a similar suggestion, that a torn garment of religion proves a lost life. Religious life cannot remain unex- pressed, nor ig its form a separate thing. The form is in n real sense the religion. Some men take the teachin, of Paul and of John, and of Peter an picking out the common features, say that this is the common faith. But so far from being the common faith it is a faith which never had anv exis tence. Indefiniteness of expression may exist for a time, but the faith will coon nssume definite shape or be lost. To form an image of God at the outset of religious life is to arrest progress later on, and, therefore, it was forbidden to Israel at Sinai. The Greeks imposed silent observation of the mystery so that each man should get as much as his developing spirit could find in the ritual. The cate chism reverses this method. Many have had to pass through the pain of sceing the torn coat in two ways. The old Bible was very dear, | we failed to find interest. | came and said, This have we found=4 the Bible was written by men like ourselves who saw God in events such as he to all.

But a rumor came, and then a voice that there was corn in Egypt, and the rumor proved true. We saw color in what had seemed photographs and we saw the process by which the colors had been added at different times. Words. which headed unread | pages became names of friends.

The Bible stood like Joseph in new robes, dis- pensing life and reconciliation to a new age. The only persons who bear other testimony are those who have never gone through the experience, or who like Bunyan's Pliable turned back at the hog of Discouragement, not see: ing that only on the far side was one standing whose name was Help. Then some who were not disturbed by that false alarm took fright at a more deadly suggestion. The dear old gospel happened to come to us in the garments of history. But the history by which the gospel came to mem is one thing, the gospel is another. Ro Mark Antony was heard again. Thus have we found the garment of his- tory with tears in it. Cassius' dagger went through the story of the birth of Jesus, and Brutus struck at the re surrection. We were told that such stabs affected not only the garment, md our grief was great, till 'we found that we thought of good struggling with evil saw the good transforming the evil |¢ from within, and that the work of not merely jew of the reconciliation ing us that the cross of Thrist refonciles us to & God who is already at work within show- Yelieves that an evil beast was de- | Fourinz the gospel, but we came to Hiscovered the fraud. The gospel is presented to-dey more sften 'in the garment aewal than in the garment of century history. It is no Tesus stood outside Jerusalem, it must enter into our experience. Tt is aecessary so to interpret life, that men may see the cross inviting them n the laboratory, the study, the of i Goce, the caucus room and even the | wipit and college where, men must | face honest but fatal prejudice. these places the cross stands and lacks not occupants. The gospel of re- demption for the lost is preached as never before, but it is preached not only in the language of religion. Re- demption is frequently as much em- phasized in economic organization, so- cial amelioration, and eriminal reform as it is in the theology. And this evening.
