OLD SAYING, “ He is my friend who grinds at my mill.” That is to say, friendship shows itself in doing; helpful acts, which prove sincerity. Fine words are mere wind, and go for nothing if not backed up with substantial deeds of kindness. Friendship cannot live an windy talk, it needs the bread of matterof fact. The inspired word says, AAA. once. notice that. Abstinence from evil is a great part of rightemsness, but it is not enough for friendship. If a. man can say, “ I am not a drunkard. I am not dishonest, I am not unchaste, I am not a. Violator of the Sabbath, I am not a liar;” so far so good, but such righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, and they cannot enter the kingdom. It is well if you do not wilfully transgress. but if you are to be Christ’s friends there must be far more than this. It would be a. poor friendship which only said, " I am your friend, and to prove it, I don’t insult you, I don’t rob you, I don’t ml‘ OBBDIENCE EB REQUESTS fIQm those who call themselves his friends. 'Ime friends are eager to know what they can do to please the objects of their love; let us gladly hem-ken to what our adorable Lord now speaks to the select circle of his chosen. He asks of one and all obedience. It must be active obedi- I. Let us come to the subject more dflsely. and notice first, that our Lord half tells us Jesus values his friends, not by what ‘ey have. or what they wear, but by what they do. That is the pomt by which your friendship shall be tested : “If you are obedient you are my friends.” lot, as to whether Christ has pity on us or not; the question is about our being;r friends to him, and such we must be made if, indeed, there is to be any in- timacy of mutual friendship. THE HIGHEST HONOR. Beloved, it is the highest honor in the world to be called the friend of Christ. 'There is no title surely that excels in «dignity that which was Won by Abraham, who was called "The friend of Gad.” Lord Brooke was so delighted with the friendship of Sir Philip Sydney that he ordered to be engraved upon his tomb nothing but this: “Here lies the friend of Sir Philip Sydney." There is a beauty in such a feeling, but yet it. is a small mat- ter compared with being able to say, “Here lies a friend of Christ.”0 wondrous nondescension that he should call me “friend.” If I am indeed a. true belieVer not ourly is he my friend, whithout which I Could have no hope here or hereafter, but he hath in the aboundings of his grace been pleased to regard me as his friend, and write me down in his honored : list of intimates who are permitted to speak familiarly with him. as those do between whom there are no secrets, for their hearts are told out to him whilst he hides nothing from them, but saith, “If it were not so I would have told you.” Our Lord does not, I rrhiuk, in this text Speak to us about his being our friend, but about our being his friends. He is “the friend of sinners”; but. sinners are not his friends till their hearts are chang- 0d. “Ye are my friends, if you do what- Ioever I command you”; we are not his friends till then. His lnve to us is entire- ly of himself, but friendship needs some- thing from us. Friendshit) cannot be all on one side; one-siled friendship is more fitly called mercy, grace benevolence; hiendsip in its full sense is mutual. Hence. we have not before us the ques- tion as to whe:her Christ loves us or “ Ye. are my friends, if ya do whatsoever I command you."â€"Iohu 15 : 14 0ft in hours of pain and conflict.

Our third observation is : those who best obey Christ are 0N THE BEST TERMS with him. ‘Ye are my friends,’ he seems to say, ‘and live to me, enjoying practical personal friendship. and daily intercourse with me, when you prumptlv obey.’ Some of you know by pPl‘S'HHLi experience. brotheis and sisters, that ynn Cannot milk in holy converse with Chri <3, unless you keep his comumndumnts.

The title uf “friends of Jesus" goes with a certain character, and cannot be otherwise ob- tained. Those are his friends who obey himzâ€"“If ye love me keep my command- ments.’ l-Ie grants this patent of nobility to all believers who lovingly follow him, but on his list of friends he enters none beside. Do you not see that his honor requires this? Would you have our Lord stand up and say, ‘The drunkard is my friend?’ Would you hear him say, ‘Th‘i" fraudulent bankrupt is my intimate companion !‘ Would you have Jesus claim friendly companionship with the vicious and profane? A man is known by his Company; what would be thought of Jesus if his intimate associates were men of loose morals and 'unrighteous principles? To gr) among them for their good in one. thing, to make them his friends is another. would compromise your name and char- acter. We say this even weeping. that Jesus Christ’s name is compromised, Ind his honor is tarnished among men by many who wear the name of Christian without having the spirit of Christ : such cannot be his dear companions. ' . r ,, ”'7. knowing a, long WP. perseypr, He who obeys not Christ cannot be Christ’s friend, though he may profess to be. He may be a very high and loud pro- fessor, and for that reason he may be all the more an enemy of the Cross; for when men see this man walkingr accord- ing to his own lusts they cry out, “ Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth," and they attribute all his faults to his reli- gion, and straightway begin to blas- pheme the name of Christ. Through the inconsistent conduct of our Lord’s pro- ‘ fessed friends his cause is more hindered ‘ than by anything else. Suppose you and I had some very intimate associate who1 was found drunk in the street. or comit- J ting burglary or theft, should we not feel disgraced by his conduct 3 When he was brought before too magistrate would you like to have it said. " This person is the bosom friend of So-and-so 3" Oh. you would cover your face and beg your neighbors never to mention it. For such a follow to be II. Having thus set forth what kind of obedience Christ requests, I now notice, in the second place. that our Lord leads us to gather from this sentence that those who do not obey him are NO FRIENDS OF HIS. He who does not do his command- ments cannot be Christ’s friend, because he is not of one mind with Christ: that is evident. Can two walk together except they be agreed? True friendship exists not between those who differ upon first principles, and there can be no points of agreement between Jesus Christ and the man who Wlll not obey him. They are not of one mind: Christ is for holiness, this man is for sin; Christ is for spiritual- mindedness, this man is carnal-minded ; Christ is for love, this man is for self; how can there be any friendship when they are diametrically opposed in design. object, and spirit? It is not possible. he bids yuu remuvo i;. Hue is che pool of your luve. Will you ~10 the smaller thing fur Jesus as well as the more weiglzi) matter? Too many say, “I dr um See any use in it, I can be saved withuuz it; men: are a great mmy :iitficreut upiuiuzls on the puiut,” and 80 on. All this unuelh Hf mil, and is not C(mblsteht with the spirit of friendship with Christ, for lung pleatsee even in tri‘fles. To cloSe this first point, it appears that our Lord would have us obey him out of friendly spirit. Obedience to Christ as if we were forced to do it un- der pains and penalties would be of no worth a: a proof of friendship; every one can see that. He speak»: not of slsves, but of friends; he would not have us perform duties from rear of punishment or love of reward ; than which he can accept of bin friends must be the fruit of love. Hit: will must be our law because his person is our delight. Some professors need to be whipped to their duties; they must hear stirring sermons, and attend excit- ing meetings. and live under pressure: but those who are Christ’s trienda need no spur but love. “The love of Christ constnineth us.” When duty becomes delight and precepts are as sweet a: promise. then are we Christ’s friends. and not till then. Note well, that. this obedience is to be rendered as to Christ himself.

I do not think thot the kind Lord Jesus counts these things to be friendly ecu. Ask my hlmnu person whether he would be ”stifled by knowing that a friend were u heir shirt for his sake, and he would answer, “Pray let the poor creature wear whatever is most comfortable to him, and that will tlease me best.” The loving Jesus takes no delight in pain and discomfort: the maceration of the body is no doctrine of his. When we hear of the hum of St. Ann sleeping bolt upright in their coffins, we take no particular satisfaction in their doing so ; a. kind heart would beg them to‘ go to bed. I went over a monastery some 1 time ago, and over each bed was a. little: cut-o'mine tails, which I sincerely hope was used to the satisfaction of the pos- sessm‘, but I did Lot copy the idea. Olll'l Lord canm t be gratified by self-inflicted, l self-invented tortures. Jesus Christ hasl not demanded this as thu gauge of friend- ship, neither will he regard us as his; friends for this. He says, “Ye are llly‘ friends, if ye do whatswver I Command you.’ Some thlnk it a very friendly act tu- wards Christ to attend many religium services in a. consecrated building. They are at matins, and Vespers, and . Others have imagined that, they could show their friendliness to Christ by some remarkable action of self-mortification. Among Romanists. especially in the old times, it was believed that misery and merit went together, and so men tortured themselves that they might please God. They went for many a day without wash- ing themselves or their clothes. and fancied that they thus acquired the odor of sanctity. I do not believe that Jesus thinks a man any more his friend because he is dirty. Some have put on s hair shirt, or have worn I should have to leave a poet of great use- fulness, and therefore I rennin where I am, and quiet my Conscience as well as I cm.

IV. By our text we are taught that THE MOST FRIENDLY ACTION n man can do for Jesus is to obey him "Ye are my friends, it ye do whatsoever I command you,” ' lich men have thought to do the most friendly not possible to- w: rd Christ by giving an immense sum to build a church, or to found an zilms- house or Schools. If they are believers, and have done this thing as an act of obe- dience to Christ's low of stewardship, they have well done, and the more of such mun- iticence the better, but where splendid benefactions rue given out of (,stentation, or from the idea that some merit will be gained by the consecration of a. large‘ amount of wealth, the whole business is; uimcceptable. Jesus not asks luvisli ex-l penditure. but ourselves. He has made this the token ot true love: ‘1 ye do what- soever I command you.’ To bring our wealth and not to yield our heart is to give the casket and steal the jewel. no any happy friendship between us and our Saviour If conscience has told you dcul‘ br ither, that such and such a thing uught {u be given up. and you continue 11: 1t, the next time you are on your knees ynu will feel yourself greatly hampered, and when you sit, down before your open Bxble and hope to have Communion with Cluisbas you have formerly enjoyed it, you will find that he has withdrawn him- self, and will not be found by you.
