Change in E t h i c s : Vindication of the

Cross. SERMGM BY THE BfcV. A. G. HEAOLAM,

D.B.

In the Chapel of King's College. London.

Preach1; s on " The Meaning o( Li te ," in the chapel of King's College, London, Dr. Headlam, of Whorlton Hall, said onr whole scheme ot things put before us wh&t we may describe as an industrial morality £S representing the highest type of human excellence. We asked'u.r. to be orderly aoi r»gnlar in their li?es, to be industrious, stead;, c i .o ia i , sober in their coa^uot. Wo were always t ry ing to shut up the spirit within the i imus of a somewhat cccficed i n r t . l Eciieme. Wo desi red system rather than iccpuation. We were always asking whether any p m i c u l x r conduct w o n l d pioctuce wealth. We r>sked vhat i ts Talue W S B . But cow suddenly oar Ideal is again changed, ssd we fit»i a wtnlo Sories of Ti r tnes of which we nad thought but l i t t l e , suddenly e:mj hcj'.,;o us n r-eseiy?g tho highest typo of i;utz -.nity- euui«f.', sttoip:th, seif-rt-4.iiioe, ('au p o w , of sclf-sscriiicc, t h e iD6pira t io : i of eosuadeaU^ Hsa gifts of leadersfeip—ail tfasa« ia quite a r;ifK.r<>ni way from before, wc are ask ug for. We find that Che rata who found U very diflieutt Lited. to oonturm to onr narrow academic life, who seemed always demanding something which we eonld not give him, has sprung forward as a hero, and mado our old judgmects seem very poor and l^cignifioant. We n:a beginning, perhaps, to know why, in spite ot al l that be did, David was tbo man altar God's own heart, ai.d to realise that there is in the espsoi ty for service a power acd a charm which the ord ina ry routine of oomr&erci&iised lite cannot present to us. Bat. perUaps, li is' i n our interpretation and presentment ot Christianity that we may leara more. To how mauy people has the cross ot Ccrist bsen, as i t was to the Corinthian's of old, a stumbling-block? We have contrasted—yon have constantly heard the con t r a ; mado—the religion of self-sacrifice wita the religion of self-development. Hava we not again and again been t t l d that we hbvo to c-iimiuako this heathen, this ascetic idea of sacrifice from life t People havo talked u t the Heiltciu ides' - < c r iaiy a very vain parody of tho uld rie!lc.,ibm. They would have as substitute fuc this religion ot seif-sao/ifice a religion ot iutellectual culture, a religion i f pcr-c^al deveiepmenb They wculd ignore t t e exieteace ut sis. In fact, s in , they woUiu te i i us, meraiy aBSSa from ignoruuue. They wuuiti banish from our education everything that str&inetl the miud. Life, whether tcr the young at old, was cu be >ee from every thirig tuat was disagreeable. Strict discipline we were iu i - kiug ot less and less. Anii now suddenly we find that i f we are cot prepared to *ubmit to a s tr ict discipline, i f nc zt.v net prepared ab a nation to sacrifice ali , v;e may lose al l . We;.: »c iLe alternative before aS of being tesdy to give ap every thing, even oar life, or boeii u ..veiything that makes lite worth l i w r g. barely in the most complete, in the mcst facdamental • a •, due lesson ot the Cross is beiag vindic >. _u. For in al l alike, simple and clever, rich and poor, noble and peasant, who are. prepAred cheerfully n Laste danger una readily to give up their lives, who show the courage, the devouoa of the true comrade, and the anrsaumiug heroism of the patriot, there hau been exhibited real spiritual etrei'gtn wMeh In a puit*eusicn ct the huauui raoe.
