SERMON IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BY THE REV. FR. COUPE.


The Rev. Charles Coupe, S J., M.A., Professor


of Philosophy at Stonylmrst, resumed bis course of sermons at the Catholic Churcli, Clitiicroe, on Sun­ day morning last, after a lapse of two weeks, dur­ ing wliich period tlie eloquent praaclier liad been


non-Catliolics present. Tlie rev. preacher took for bis text: “ Which of yo;i slmll convince Me of sin ?” Jolm viii., 40, ftp said: We liavo already seen tluit Jesus of Nazareth publicly, empliatically, and repeatedly declared Iliiusclt Divine Was tliat declaration true or false? Say tliat it was true, ami you heiievo Clirist to he God. Say that it was false, and you brand Clirist ns eitlier a dupe or a deceiver. If being only man lie tliouKht lie was God He Was a dupe. I f proulainiiiig Himself God, rie knew He was only iuau He was a deceiver. Now, I want to press this dilemma against the sceptics, who deny Clirist’s Divinity. I f Christ was not God, He was either mentally deluded or morally depraved ; He iiad either a false mind or a false liciirt. Tliere is


'I'l— ..........— , , No otlier alternative.


The rationalist, indeed, maintains lliat Christ was hotli a great man and a good man ; but still only a man. J5ut we reply that if Clirist was only a man. He was oitlier not a great man, or not a gnoil man. Tlic unbeliever assures us tliat Jesus of Nazaretli was tlio great sage, tlie niiglity reformer, tlie un- speakablo boiicfactor of tho Imman race, the wisest ami holiest of mankind. For example, David ytrauss, the Gorman sceptic, denies Christ’s God- liend, yet declares that for Christ “ the first place is reserved in tlie temple of Genius and Humanity, as tlie unattainable Ideal of moral greatness never to bo excelled." M. Reiia.i, tlie Freiicli sceptic, denies Clirist’s Godliead, yet declares Him to bo “ tho moral Leaderdf Humanity, as the unattain­ able Ideal of Humanity, the one Man in wlioin is summed up nil that is best and noblest in liuiiiaii nature.” O lame and impotent conclusion I beep- tics, we answer you again tliat it Christ was not God, He was neither tlio “ Ideal of moral great­ ness,” nor “ tlieinor.tl Leader of lluinanity,” but either a foolish visionary’ or a wicked pretender. From that conclusion tliero is no escape. On one lioru of that dilemma tlie sceptic must impale liim- self. Which will ho liave. Let him take liis clioico. If Christ was not God, He was cither a fanatic or an imposter. Sceptics deny Ciirist’s Divinity, but exalt Humanity ; they


Deny His Godliead.


hut canonize His manhood. But wo retort that to deny Christ’s Divinity is to dishonour His Human­


ity, and to snatch from Him tlie crown of Godliead is to wrest from Him the glory of JIanliood. Now, tiiat Clirist was not self-dtceived we have


already proved. We have proved it from tlie character of His mind ; from His matchless origi­ nality of intellect to plan a world-wide .and never- ending spiritual kingdom • from His inflexible will to resolve on that plan; from His .supcrlmman power to carry tliat resolve into accomplisliment. If Clirist was not God, lie was assuredly tlio mo.st astounding genius tlio world has ever known. Then, at any rate, do not call liim a dupe. That charge, at least, is false. On the otiior liorn of the dilomiim tlien, tlie sceptic must transfix liiinself. I f Ulnipt was a mere man, and yet was not a crazy visionary, the unbeliever lias no choice left but to afflrm that Jesua was a down right imposter. He must admit tliat Clirist wan a groat iiiaii, hut deny tliat lie was a good man. Let us, tlien, devote this lecture to a study of that denial. Clirist was eitlier a mad man, or a bad man, or God. We liave sliown al­ ready tliat lie was not a mad man, but a siihiimc genius. Wo sliall now sliow tliat He was not a bad man, hut a sublime saint. Therefore. IIo is God,


The Heart of Jesus Christ.


.Studying the mind of Clirist, we saw that it was vast, original, profound. Wu now jiroceed lo study the heart of Clirist. For as it is tlie mind wliicli nmke.s a man intellectually groat, so it is the licart wbicli makes him morally good. Not, indeed, liiat


mental and moral quiilitits of necessity co e-xist. iirilliiint intellect may rule ii b.<id iieart. 'I’lie


mind may lie large, fertile, and acute, but tlie soul petty, mean, sellmli, and even criminal. Satan, for example, has a splendid intelleet, but an evil will. Napoleon Uonaparte had a vigouroiis mind, but a vicious lioart. On the other Imiid, a man may be dull of mind, nod yet a liero or a saint Why ? Heeiiiise be lias the heart of a liero or of a saint. Genius, indeed, dwells in the bead, but no­ bility has its lioiiio in tlio lienrt. 'riiereforo, it is tile lieart and not the head, tliat prnetise.s virtue and wins merit; and on tlie Great Reckoning Day it is the liiddeii things of the lieart, and not the secrets of the liead, that God, called thy Searcher of llcarls, will lay bare for tlio recompense or the retribution of heaven or of liell. Jesua Cliri.st, liowever, was not only perfect Cod, He was also perfect Mail, liis Manho.al was perfect in qiniii- ties hotli of liead and of heart. A study ot His mind lias already rovoaled tons liis intellectual gr'jatiics.s, A study of Ids Iieart will now reveal to us Jlis moral greatness. It is. liowever,

But iu the sliort time at om- disposal, what more cau wo do tluiu rouglily piece togetiior a few fragments of tho barest outliuos of hluit luminous and majes- tio personality. Let iis briefly, thou, coiisidor tho moral oliaraoter'of Clirist from a two-fold lioiiit of view; from its iiegativo side, and from its iiositivo side. On. its negative side, we con­ sider tho abseiico of ovil. On. its positive side, wo consider lilie presence of good. A cJiaracter neg­ atively perfect excludes all faults. A positively perfect includes all virtues, we deal witli tho ncgaiive aspect. The positive aspect wo reserve for our next lecture. What, then, was


Tho Negative Side of Ciirist’s Moral Character?


tVo caAi express it iu ono word; "Faultless.” I t was without <a Haw. Clu-ist was “ wilihout spot or blemish”—sinless. M’ liilo it may be asserted with truth of oil other niou that by nature they are sinful, 'of Clirist alone it can be said thah by nature Ho ivas sinless. St. John has told us that " i f wo sity wo have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and tlio truth is not in us.” But Christ was es- soiitially sinle.ss. We have that on many (lesti- nioiiics. Wo have it first of all on Christ’s own testimony. For the whole tenor of His lifo was one implicit claim to sinlcssucss. Ho was for ever preaching tlio neoessity for contrition, iu otliers, the need for iieuanca iu others; but in Himself never. Ho stamped upon tlie world a coiuieiousiiess of shi such ns men had never before dreamed of; but Ho liiiited at none iu Himself. "Repent,” Ho is for over erjung; "Repent, fot tlio Ningdom of Heaven is at: hand; ” but iu Him­ self Ho manifested no sign o f repentance. Jlore- over He proposed to mankind a siiblimo standard of moi-ality, a standard of absolute perfection. "B e yo perfect, even as your Heavenly Fatlior is perfect.” He bids men become sinless us the still's, pure ns the angels, holy with the Iioliiicsa of God. Surely that is a noble and lofty moral­ ity wliieh could proceed onij' from a truthfiii, a liuniblo, a saintly heart. Now it is a mark of tlio trutliful, it is the way with the luimblc, it is tlio cliaraclcristie of lllie saints to be keenly alive to tho least stain of peisonal sin, to feel tho sliglitest soil of moral imperfection in tlie soul like the smart of a bodily wound. 'I'licn Jesus of Nazaretli, “ meek and hmiihle lieart,”


Does Ho Exliibit Consciousness Of Personal Sin?


Never I Doc-sHe confess to personal imwortliiness ? Never! Do'es Ho petition for prayers that God


limy give Him grace to practice what He preac.li- os? Never! Ho draws no lino botwe'eu HLs words and His deeds. Ho makes no distinctlioii between His eondnet ns a Sfon and His counsel as a Preacher. Ho bids men become like God, but Ho draps mo sugg'estio that He Himself falls sliort of tliat standard. Ia Hini there is no solf-accu.5ation, no ignifcssioii. of guilt, no liruis- ing of tlie soul for sins coiiimittcd, no petition for paixlon, no quaking of heart at tiie possibility of iiionil fall. On tho con!(r.iry, meek and liuniblo of lieart, ns Christ nns, Ha declares Himself sinless. He declares tliat He does always tlio xvill of His Heavenly Fatlior. Face to face witli His bitterest enemies, Ho boldly flings dotm tlio gage of iiatlle and challenges them: “ Wliich of .you sliall convict mo of sin?” Sit Peter s.aid plainly: “ Christ did no sin. neitlier was guile found in His nioutli.” And St. Paul, tlie grc.-it prcaelier, inspired of God, said: " It was fitting that wo should liavo siicli a High Priest; holy,


innocent, undofiled, marked off from sinners, iiiado


Higher Tlian Tlio Ilcavens.’ ' Clirist was sinless. The Pharisees, indeed,


tried to ennvicti Him of sin. How? They cliargcd Him witli hlasphemy. Why? Hecniiso Ho called Himself God. But Ho was God, and, tlierefore. He hiid n rigiit to call Ilim.solf God. Timt was not blasphemy. Wliy? Because, like God, Ho forg.ive sins. But Ho was God, and Miereforo, Ho liad the jiower to foigive sins. 'J’hat win not lilnspliemy. Once again, tlicy cliarged Him witli blasphemy. 'Wliy? Because Ho wrnugli’-l cures on tlie Sabbatli. But once a'Miii tlio cliaTgo refutes itself.

But no man, except Clirist, claimed to be tho great God " seriously Claimed ” ; because, drunk witli pride, meu have sometimes posed us gods, though tliey deceived none, and meant to deceive none, uoe evou themselves. Canute, the Dane, once set up his regal chair on tiie seashore, oud, like a God, bade the ndvaiicing tide retire; but the iuooming waves drove tho mnu home, aud tho world did but laugh nt liim; nay, lie did but laugh nt him­ self. Herod ilgrippn, the Hebrew king, once as­ sumed tlio god. and, arrayed iiii purple and fine linen, he sat upon his throne, and made nu ora­ tion to tlie people, and tho folk cried aloud: “ I t is tho voice uot o f a man, but of a god.” But tills was rank flal.tery, and, therefore, none wondered when the angel of tho Lord smote the foolish king, aud being eaten up with worms his godsliip gave up the ghost. (Acts 12, 22). Tlie imperial Ciesars, too, posed ns gods, but tlio incense liurnt liefore tlieir sbriiics was lookeil on-as only a poetic formality, a slavisli reoogui- tioii ot imperial tyranny, a piece of sacrilegious buffoonery worth}- only of derision and contempt. But Jesus of Nazaretli claimed to be God, and claimed it seriously; not in private only, but repeatedly; uot for a brief season only, but for the whole iJlireo years of His public ministry: not in lifo only.

M'liat selfmssertion I Now i f Clirist was really God, this self-assertion was a glorious manifes­ tation ot tlio truth. But i f Christ was noli God, this Bolf-asser!’iou was utterly appalling. I f Clirist was not God, Bis egotism was too vast for words. For on every page of the Gospels, tlie customary phrase iu tho mouth of Christ is : “ I say unto y o u ” ; and again, more solemnly: " jtinen, Amen, I say unto you” ; and again: " Keep My Commnndmeuts.” Moreover, He clainis to bo, not merely a messenger .of truth, but 'rrutli itself.
