THE EIDER BROTHER

OR. MADISON C. PETERS SPEAKS OF THE LOVELESS SON.

He Stands For Those Who Do Not Recognize Humanity as a Precious Thing:—Why the Church Does Not Win the Masses.

The Prodigal Son.

On Sunday evening, Dec. 1, at the Bloomingdale Reformed church, New York, Dr. Madison C. Peters took "The Elder Brother" as his subject. His text was, "And he was angry and he would not go in."—Luke xv, 27. Following is an outline of his discourse:

The fatted calf was killed. They had begun to be merry. Bounding feet followed the strain of the harpstrings when a noise of altercation came from without. The coming home of the prodigal brother was gall and wormwood to the mercenary elder brother. There he stands outside the door storming and scolding until his angry words disturbed everybody and brought out the father. The elder brother goes to bed that night disgusted and slams the door after him. The elder brother still lives. He stands for the Pharisee in his day, and, like all Pharisees, ancient and modern, he was a merciless critic. He was oue of your holy men, who are always going about telling people how good they are. Keep an eye on men who make a business of proclaiming their superior goodness. "Stillest waters run deepest, and the bird that flutters least is longest on the wing."

His elder brother stands for the jealous man he groaned when his brother shouted. To see others happy made him uncomfortable. The Pharisee standing at the door refusing to welcome his brother stands for the people who have little or no faith in prodigals returning to God. Kid gloved sinners are ushered to the best pew, but for prodigals there is no room. But, glory be to his holy name: God's thoughts arc not as ours we gird our breast

With the cold iron of complacent pride: Our charities and kindnesses are compressed With earth's hard bands, that check our life's •soft tide, And wo to sinners say with scornful brow, "Stand off, for I am holier tliu.il thou."

Oil, 'tis not thus with God. His arms of love Yearn for the thankless prodigal's enibrace. Ho sees liini yet afar he longs to prove

His love and pity and forgiving grace. -.- The holy dove spreads soft his wings And joy in heaven tunes high the seraph's strings.

This elder brother has long been serving his father for profit. He had done all the things, and what is the not result? A fatted calf for the prodigal but not a kid for me. All the years he had the home blessings. To his indulgent father he was petulant. There he stands a loveless son, talking to his father like a master to his servant. You see the elder brother had expected the whole of the estate, and the prodigal's sudden return made him think of a division. He didn't do a thing to keep his brother at home. He would have driven him away. He also stands for those who do not recognize humanity as a precious thing. He lacked love for humanity. People often wonder why the clinrch don't win the masses. We lack the blessed Christianity of Christ, which loves all mankind.: Let us have humanity along with our divinity, and the prayer put into the disciples' lips by the Master himself, "Thy kingdom come," will be rapidly and gloriously answered. Leigh Hunt's little poem beautifully illustrates the humanity of the gospel: Abou Ben Adheri (may his tribe increase) Awoke o::o ni^lit from a deep dream of peace And saw within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a, book of gold. Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room lie said, "What writcst thou?" The vision raised its head And with a look, made all of sweet accord, Answered, "The names of those who love the

Lord."

"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so," Replied the angel. Abou spake more low But cheerily still and said, "I pray theo, then, Write me as one that loves his fellow men." The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again with a great awakening light And showed the names whom love of God had blessed And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

His elder brother was also a slanderer. He charged his brother with having devoured "his living with harlots," most probably only a presumption on the elder brother's part. It was a terrible thing for a brother to say about his brother to their father. This eider brother knew that that was just wln.t he would have done if he had once gotten away from home. The prodigal had wasted his substance, but it was not his father's. According to the law of the land the son was entitled to so much, and the father gave him just what belonged to him.

Tbo father's treatment of his two sons shows us the gentleness of God, which we should echo forth again in our lives. There was nothing rigorous in the father, there was no severity in his religion. He was full of tenderness and love. Had the prodigal met the elder brother first he would have driven him back to his iniquity from the very gate of his father's house. The father in the parable stands for God. God is a loving father. So called Christians may hold themselves aloof from sinners, but ho who talked with the woman of Samaria at the well and allowed the guilty woman to wash his feet with her tears and wipe them with the hairs of her head will in no wise cast out the sincerely repentant sinner. God is every man's father he falls upon the neck of the prodigal and kisses and welcomes him and he even forgives the self righteous, self complacent, slanderous, pouting elder brother. Oh, how wonderfully kind is the heart of the Eternal.
