But these admissions do not contradict what I have already as- serted, that each one of us knows to do good. The knowledge may be in- complete ; it may need reinforce- ment, but it is there if, in any sense, we can claim to be.Christi‘ans, and I am speaking only to those who profess to have some knowledge of the truth. You and I accept Christ as God’s supreme revelation to man as to what we ought to be and do. We believe in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to plead, us into truth. and to build us up in character. Most of us have been subject all our lives to spiritual in- fluences. and we recognize ‘the voice of God within ;.conscicnce the clear witness of duty. (We have been taught to pray; for divine guidance, and in every timeof doubt. the way can be made clear to us. So that if} The personal concession :â€"I know to do good. This is not a general platitu-de to the effect that it is alâ€" ways right to do good. It is spec- ificâ€"I. know what is good or. right 'for me to do. . 1. Must. we not, however, admit ' that even in a land of Bible privilâ€" eges, there are many who do not / know and who need to be enlight- 'vvvvvv em-d‘? There are, to he sure. here in our own country] great throngs 01‘ people who should have Christian in- struction. Many have come from lands where the system of religion to which they were accustomed. has degraded, rather than developed them, and they have practically no religious life at all, and stand in desperate need of the gospel. “ith‘ ceived in their youth ; ‘the tfiorts of the Church on their behalf, have ap- parently failed, and they are living in darkness. They do not use the light the}r have to get more light, and we may say that they know to do some good, which, hOWever, is not done. In most of our congregaâ€" tions it would surprise us to disâ€" cover “hat a' small amount of real vital, energizing knowledge,there is, and this because so many of us have a convenient way of deflecting the knowledge which does not please us. There are Christians whose charac- ter and conduct may be commendâ€" able;in many respects, but who have strangely perverted notions as to some specific virtues or given lines of duty. Goethe has said if a great man has a dark place in his mind, it is very dark. Even in the minds of good people, there may be dark ipl-aces into which the truth has not fibeen allowed to enter. Whitfield maintained that the rum trade was essential to the prosperity of Amer- ica. John Newton testified that he enjoyed sweet seasons with God whilst he was engaged in the slave trade. But a man's partial know- ledge does not eliminate sin. because it is due to sin that he does not have more knowledge. In a country such as this. in the midst of associ- ations such as we enjoy, what is it that prevents people from knowing what is the good for them ? Pride, for it is impossiblq for us to see the whole truth, if we allow the warpin-gs and obscurations of vanity, self-sufficiency and prejudice to enter in. Insincerity, whereby selfish and unworthy aims which contradict the glory of God injure our faculty of .vision, and lead us astray. Disobed- ience. whereby the apprehension of things that are true is forfeited by repeated practical denials of ‘ what has been seen. lmany others, the training they re- Education alone will not make a man a saint. There may be as much evil connected with inertia as with ignorance. It is not necessary to be a Christian to believe that there is ,sin in the world. That the man who. transgresses the law of God is a sinner is the truest thing we can say about him. But how a person of understanding who has been well educated; who knows the difl‘erence between right and wrong, and is generally respect-g ed, can be a sinner, is not so evi- dent- We know, 'however, .that sin is not confined to the lower strata of society. Take Christ’s spiritual ‘ interpretation of the Ten Command- ments; take His obedience to the law as our standard of conduct. and we can see that there is not a single commandment which we ourselves have not broken. But if a. man still doubts his sinfulness, let him conâ€" template his failures. He knows what he. ought to do, but he does not do it. What follows? That he is no worse than most people '? Than ‘m-ay be admitted. That if he had his life to live over again, he might do better 2’ That may be ques- tioned. James, the practical man of plain speech, tells us that such a one is a sinner. According to the test which he applies. each one of us is brought under condemnation. The assertion of our text is very specific. It does not contemplate mankind en masse, but as individuals. To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin; Let us each one take these words to himself. and ii We do, I believe that we shall find here a personal concession. a personal confession and a personal conviction. ' "To him that knoweth to do good. and doeth it not, to him it is sin." â€"James IV . 1'7. Preached March 18, 1906, in Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York, by the Pastor, J. ROSS STEVENSON, D.D. “Knowing and Not Doing" good, and wish to good is, it c be incd.

This is_ what the ma that is what the one-talent man said to his Lord : “I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth." He did not missapply it, nor employ it. for illegitimate speculation, nor squander it ; he simply did nothing. What did Jesus say ? “Thou wicked and slothful servant g!" There are men to-day who stand aside from an active canteen, either on the plea that they have already done what can be expected of them, or they have no gifts ; no calling. no opportunities.

It might surprise us to find how Jesus severely condemned some of our excuses. A man my gay: I come'up to it. Scripture calls this sin, and James reminds us that any omission of duty is charged against us as sin. It is just as really diso- bedience to God as when a man trans‘gresses the law. When an op- portunity to do evil presents itselfi we must at any cost shun- it. But many imagine that when an oppor- tunity to do good is ofiered, we are at liberty to do as we please. But them is no more liberty in‘onc case than in the other. - _ L been set aside for the inferior; the | subordinate has thrust out the su- preme. James is speaking of the relation of humility and entire deâ€" pendence in which the creature should stand to the Creator. “Go to now ye that say to-day or to- morrow, we will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain. whereas ye know not what shall be on the inor- row. Ye ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall live. and do this or that." In other words. 'we ought to spend each day as in the light of eternity, knowing that our time on earth is slfort. We believe that : are We doing it ‘3 It has been remarkedl “that ‘all men are mortal.‘ is u; proposition which each man bclien-sl to be. true of everyone except him-l self." Not that anyone seriously he- lieves that he himself will be ex- empt from death; but each of us habitually thinks and acts as if in his case. death were suchan inde- finite distance away that practically there is no need to take account of it, at any rate, at present. llence, knowing to do good. we do it, not“ because in our self-confidence and inâ€" dependance we have a mistaken View of life: a wrong perspective. James also intimates in a negative way what our attitude should be to those about us: We are to avoid all-harsh ‘ judgments; all censorious speech, and fulfill the law of love. In ev- ery instance in so far as our con- duct relates to others, we are to do the unselfish, the Christ-like thing. We concede that ; but can any man claim that he is as charitable, as gentle, as patient towards others as he ought to be, and will always wish that he. had been 1’ We- -may gloss over these omissions with such mild terms as expediency. modesty. forgetfulncss, over-occupation, or. at 1 the worst, failure, whereas we know ' that they may be traced to sloth, selfishness, cowardice, sinâ€"I know to do good ;LI do it not. What follows? : I am a sinner in the sightof God.‘ I This is a personal conviction which I must fasten itself upon each one of ‘ us : I am a sinner. ‘ 1. The word Which James uses . for! sin here means. literally, to miss I the mark; to come short of the . standard. God sets before us a cer- 1 tain standard of conduct : a stand- ard which.wc reCanize as right, and I adopt for ourselves. But we do not I .10, 3. Therefore, to say nothing of the actual transgressions of the law of God‘which we can discern in our hearts and lives, you and I can see as no one else can see, the good that has bren left undone. E'wn a man like A:::!-'n-'.\‘ .\. Punar was com- pelled to say as he concluded one fear in his life: “This ,\ear's omis- sions have distressed me more than anything." All of us must adopt -the confession of the Prayer Book: “We have left undone those things which we ought to have done." We think of the gentle words we might; have spoken ;' of the Service \vei might have rendered. We have notl done to others what‘ “'0 would have! others to do to us. Someone has said : “The real ghosts of human life are unwritten letters and unpaid visits." Not without reason the Lord's Prayer says, "Forgive us our debts"â€"t'or these constitute the largest proportion' of our sins.

Nobody lives with chilâ€" dren, he said. except peoplevwho are obliged to do so, and it would be well that places of refuge should be provided, so that children might be ‘rescued from the demoralizing in- fluence of home.’ “In brief. Mr. Shaw's purpose is to attract nttmtion. and this purpose he has. in a.measure, accomplished, by paradox of speech and by a top- sy-tun'y morality that. seems to mean something to 'qualified old .maids and disappointed widows’ -to dis- satisfied, dmcontented women in’ gen- eral." 'unother of his plays. now current. ‘Man and Superman‘ by name, Is one long rigmarolc of jaundiced satire.- flam'boyant paradox and cheap cyni- cusm. ".Mr Shaw‘s aim is to turn every- thing upside down and inside out; to exploit paradox ; to shine in pert epigram. In this latter particular he is sometimes fortunateâ€"just as, oc- casionally, a blind hog will root up a goon acorn. because he cannot help it.’ But throughout his plays. therer is’a persuasive. spirit of insincerity. and in some of them (notably in ‘Candida') there is a subtle taint of diseaseâ€"1a kind of miasma-flhat can scarcely be distinguished from downa right immorality. Few persons 50' intrinsically disgusting as the sickly, sexless, hysterical thing that he calls ‘a poet' {:1 ‘Canoida’ have ever made their way on the stage; while the woman ‘Candida' herself, who listens to this snipe and allows his'pnesence. ‘ is a gross libel upon decent, sell-res-l poeting womanhood. 3 1 "Mr. Shaw is a Clt'Vt‘)‘ Irishman. and like most Irishmen. revolutionary in spirit. and happy in a grievance against society.

Does this not teach us the great danger thene is in trifling with duty; the great necessity there is of promptly obey- ing each dictate oi conscience? That we should always be even what good .people urge upon us. no one will maintain, but. that we should invariably do what conscience dic- tates. no man can dispute. The lesson of life when read aright lis: that we imperatively need ‘Christ. The great Apostle Paul, when he would do good, found evil. present with him. When he discovâ€" ered the law in his inc-timers warring against the law of his mind, bring- ing him into captivity to the law of sin ; when he contemplated all the struggle and defeat of the conflict, he cried out: ‘|0h. wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death ‘2" Who shall deliver me ?
