DUL

NIADISONPjC. PETERS ANSWER

A. QUESTION.

It Is the Dull Souls of the Listeners That Make the Preacher Prose Ministers Preach Too Much—Sermons Need Not

Be Great to Be Effective—Plain Truths.

In his sormou at the Bloomingdalo Reformed church, New York, Sunday, June 16, Rev. Madison C. Peters spoke in answer to a question propounded by a newspaper man, "Why Are Sermons Generally Dull?" Tlio text was Matthew xi, 7, "We have piped to you, and ye have not danced.'' The preacher replied to the newspaper man as follows:

I want to speak tonight iu answer to a question a newspaper man recently asked, "Why Are Sermons Generally Dull?" Candidly I do not think that this question underrates the ministry. The most attentive and regular churchgoers do not fall behind this man of the world in speaking freely of the dullness, the sameness and the inconsequence of the average sermon. A preacher of any but the highest powers who ventures to detain his hearers beyond half an hour is regarded as a sort of social criminal. The impatience of preaching may well demand the attention of the public press. Of course some people come to church for nothing and go away with nothing, and the nothingness is their own. Their own dull souls make the preachers prose. A Beecher would be dull to a dull soul. Eyes kept long in the dark go blind, and long disuse of the soil's power to think of divine things throws it

But still the fact remains that sermons as sermons go are dull—many preachers are like the Irish sportsman who aimed at nothing and hit it every time. Good old Andrew Fuller once exclaimed, Oh, the holiness of their living and the painfulness of their preaching!"

We have to preach too much. Garrick and Foote agreed that Whi telle Id's oratory "was not at its height until he had repeated a discourse 40 times.'' In a revised sermon there should be a pleasure much the same as that received from an excellent piece of music. Our congregations now demand of us two sermons each Sabbath, a midweek lecture and other addresses as occasion may demand. Our congregations demand too much in the way of pastoral visitation.

A sermon need not be great, eloquent, magnificent. But instead of glittering generalities and pious platitudes pr.t something in the sermon to glow, brighten, convince, subdue—"thoughts that breathe and words that burn." The themes which cluster around the pulpit are the grandest the human mind can contemplato and may well inspire the loftiest efforts of genuine eloquence. I Sermons are generally dull because people very often do not know what the I preacher is talking abcr-f. Oar Lqrd's

Will

discourses are wonderfully rfyjJ,1. 'They I should be our models of style. !$,learned teacher published a commentary on

Matthew. The text was pviure^' in largo type and his notes it in small. Pie presented a copy .1. an uneducated woman in his congregation. Some time afterward he asked her' hovr she liked Iris book. "Indeed," she answered, "docI tor, I am snre it. is all good, but somehow or other the line print is not so I plain to my mind as the coarse print on the top of the pages. I can understand

Matthew very well, but I can't get any meaning out of ^jour comments. Are not- a good many sermons like that? I The people are tired of set terms and

theological phrases. Instead of telling a Christian congregation every Sunday to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, thus telling them to do what they are already doing, let the gospel be applied practically to society and the affairs of men. Let us have ministers of the present and not mere mouthpieces of the past— voices and not simply echoes. The great need of the pulpit today is that broad conception cf a mission which is involved in the. petition of tht Lord's Prayer, '"Thy kingdom come." If the popular notion that religion concerns the relation in which the soul stands to God is the only true idea, then much of Christ's life and teaching was not religious, and tho iinal judgment will not I b« a religious court. Christ's life was as much secular as sacred, and he came to the sacred through the secular. Tho gospel of Christ comprehends not only the salvation of the soul, but the establishment of a kingdom here and now, the laws of which express God's will.

The work of tlie church should be as farreaching as human activity. We are not only to fit men to do tlie will of God in heaven, but hasten tlie answer to the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And, if the preachers had always in their sermons grasped Christ's idea of the kingdom and recognized its relations to the world, the world's history would read differently. The church ought always to have been the first to right the world's wrongs, but with a narrow conception of her mission she has sat with hands in her lap while other great organizations have dono the work, and although these organizations drew their inspiration largely from church members, yet the success of these reform movements and benevolent enterprises are not the church's success. Christianity is broader than the church because tho church has separated herself from the spirit of Chr ist. Make Christ not merely the center of a mere theology or the patron of an ecclesiasticism, bnt let us preach Christ as the Saviour of man, Christ as the brother of man, Christ as the hope in every discouragement, Christ as tho reform for every wrong. If the pulpits by their silence on the great public questions divorce Christianity from the forward movements of our civilization, they must bo content to occupy a little place in the world's thought. If tho preachers would hold their grip on the masses, they must not withdraw themselves from tho world, but get off their stilts and como down among the people, and be tho people's men, for Christ was the people's Chri3t!
