Charity Distinguishes Good Man From

The Christian

Attitude Towards Sin

Preaching at St. John's Cathedral yesterday morning, the Rev. H.W. Baines" stated that that which distinguished a good man from the Christian was not moral rectitude but charity, and spoke of the attitude of the Christian individual and the Chris- tian Church towards sin.

"It is not for us to judre, far less to contemn. It is to beal and make whole again." remarked the preacher..

Taking as his text, "And He said, with which this story is concerned. unto her. Thy sins are forgiven.and to take from it the principle. (St Luke. Chap. 7. V. 481 the which it contains, the attitude of 'preacher said:

People often ask whether there is any difference between a good man and a Christian. That which distinguishes a good man from the not moral rectitude Christian 15 but charity. Mere rectitude is im- potent to heal a wounded spirit to make up a quarrel with a friend. to set a man on his feet again when life has nothing more to offer him than the gas-pipe. Only hollar to with-hold friendship on ac- ness which is loving and love which Le holy, that is to say only Christ and Christ's men, can heal. That

INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIANS

For us as individual Christians when we are faced by sinful actions by friends or by acquaintances in matters to do with marriage or drink or business morality we have got to do two things which cost a lot. We have got to make plain that our friend's conduct hurts us and that we cannot approve of it; and also that we are still ready to be of any service to him that friendship demands. If you can do that and not be a prig you have advanced some way on your Chris- tian pilgrimage. Remember then that so far as our individual at- titude is concerned it is not to wrap ourselves up in "swathes of protective conventional cotton- wool nor to disinfect the atmos- phere that we breathe from all mor- al poison which might injure our righteous health. It is "that lives should be so close to Christ's that righteousness and fine living shall be our birth-right, and at the same time that we shall never ignore the claim of anybody in to upon us, to do our best
