Dr. Ahcd gave a splendid talk this morning at Chautauqua park on the apparently true significance of Christ's meaning vvhen He Incorporated Incorporat-ed the words "Give us this day our daily broad." He said that eminent theologians, o.xposltors, philosophers and deep thinkers have been at variance vari-ance onthemeauing Christ intended to convey in tho word "daily" 'but so far no one has been able to convey the exact and complete meaning of this word, which he stated was not known in Greek literature or used by the lanclent educated Greeks. Hte claimed It was a coined word, used by the evangelist who wrote of the occurrence and reported tho prayer Quoting Origon, ono of the earliest Christian writers, Dr. Akcd said that ho had searched for the word "daily" in the language of the Greek scholars and had studied the conversation of tho educated and had been unable to find it. Jerome, another Christian father, in tho spirit of sarcasm, would have had the people of his day say "Give us this day our 'supersubstantial' bread." B. Tertulllan, Augustine and Atha-naslus Atha-naslus taught that Christ "ftieant the "spiritual" necessities of life and not tho "temporal." They also claimed that Christ really meant that the people peo-ple should receive Him as 'Uieir spiritual spir-itual food dally, and to make their assertion stronger, quoted the Master Mas-ter as saying, "I am tho Bread of Life " Dr. Aked quoted Erasmus as saying say-ing that Christ really and truly meant the necessities "of life as well as those of the soul; and Luko, who put the words in his evangel as "day by day" bread, meaning that we should ask God for the present day necessities and not for those of tomorrow to-morrow or tho next. Recalling Thos Carlyle's quotation, quota-tion, "The Hell of the English is their pursuit after the goddess of money," Dr. Aked. said that the reason for the decadence in the home prayers and homo exercises of a religious nature was becauso of the hell of the American Ameri-can people was the pursuit after gain, money and position. Again tho learned gentleman recalled Gladstone's Glad-stone's admonition to his son at college; col-lege; "I would have you know that it Is not difficult, and it is very iro-fltable iro-fltable to lurn your thoughts to God at Intervals during the affairs of a busy day." Dr. Aked said that we ought to ask God to bless all our enterprises and life, not only daily, but several times a day, and that we should carry with uh the spirit of God always and In our temporal affairs. i He closed with a comprehensive talk lull of explanations of the words "daUy" and "calling," the latter being, he explained, the old English word meaning avocation In life. Dr. Akcd a PrO-Bocr. Few people know that a few years ago during the Anglo-Boer war Dr. Aked, then a minister of a prominent Liverpool, incurred the bitter hatred of his fellow Englishmen by his publicly pub-licly pronounced views on the war. Ho fought the Idea of England going to war with two small republics. He said he could see no reason for It and that it was a stain on British honor, no openly espoused the cause of the Boers and thereby engendered a bitter bit-ter feeling Qt hatred against hfmsolf. Mobs attempted to destroy him and his church. His private residence was taken by assault and policemen, reinforced re-inforced by troops, had a hard time saving him from the rands of tho infuriated in-furiated mob. This morning, when questioned as to the aboe incident, Dr. Akcd said It was true and that his solo reason for taking stand he did was bcause he loved liberty and thought the Boers should have had theirs. Dr. Goshen Lectures. A largo crowd listened td Dr. Elmer I. Goshen of Saljt Lake City deliver a stirring lecture on the "Cost of Liberty." Lib-erty." He said that the price of this great boon to mankind was the greatest great-est of all that could bo paid human life. "Liberty has been infused in the minds and hearts of men from time immemorial," said Dr. Goshen. "From the days of old Egypt down to our present day liberty has been fought for at the cost of the grave and will no doubt always until the end of time " Age by age, nation by nation, through the history of each Dr. Goshen Gosh-en took his audience, showing tho price paid and conditions that prevailed pre-vailed when liberty was won. "Truth." said he, "has been always one of the basic foundations ofliberty, but unfortunately un-fortunately has been alwajs in the hands of a few, who dole their knowledge knowl-edge (when they feel like it) out to the masses." The histories of Egypt, Greece. Rome, America and England were dissected for examples when the people fought for liberty and the enormous price they paid for it. Dr Goshen's speech was one of the best heard at Chautauqua and receded reced-ed many flattering commendations from those who hoard him talk. |
