We have among our helpers one whose sermons, in their clear insight into the very heart and spirit of the Gospel, in their depth of thought, in their originality of expression and their logical connection, would do credit to a graduate of a theological seminary. Indeed, many a graduate has written worse sermons. One of our class has a sparkling vivacity of expression; his points are pointed, and his illustrations are frequently apt and telling. One of our helpers some time since was highly educated in Chinese. He had a great reverence for Confucius, having carefully studied his writings, committing large portions of them to memory, as is the custom among Chinese scholars. He once made this comparison between Confucius and Jesus. He said: "They are like two bridges. They are both noble structures. You admire the strength of the timbers and the way in which they are framed together, forming the solid foundation and the graceful arch rising above it. You walk on the bridge of Confucius; it is all right till you come to the river of death; then you see the black waters rolling before you--and there is no plank on which you may cross to the shore beyond. Jesus Christ is a completed bridge, over which you may safely pass to the Heavenly home, and to the mansion He has prepared for your eternal habitation." We do not attempt to teach them any abstruse system of theology; we bring before their minds Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Saviour of men. This text comes up more frequently than any other in their sermons: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!" We tell them of his pure sinless life; how He went about healing and helping the bodies and the souls of men; how He willingly, gladly died upon the cross that He might bring salvation near, and how He rose from the dead in victory over death and hell; that He now lives in Heaven; that He hears even our whispered prayers, and that He will give His spirit to them whose hearts are open to receive it; that if we would be His disciples we must have His spirit--we must be like Him.
