The Calendar 177God's Work as Man's /deal*BY THE REVEREND CHARLES CUTHBERT HALL, D.D.,President of Union Theological Seminary, New York City.St. John's Gospel, 5:17. — But Jesus answered them:My Father worketh even until now, and I work.St. John's Gospel, 6 : 28-29. — They said therefore untoHim : What must we do that we may work the works ofGod ? Jesus answered and said unto them : This is thework of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.My theme is the result of placing in relation to eachother these two exalted and eager verses of theScripture, God's work as man's ideal. On theone hand God's work — Christ declares it to be thelaw of his Father's life and of his own life — "MyFather worketh even until now, and I work." On theother hand man's ideal to become a godlike worker,to do work so fine, so flawless, so enduring, sobeneficent, that it is indeed divine. " What must wedo that we may work the works of God." It is, I say,God's work as man's ideal.*The Convocation Sermon delivered before the University ofChicago, Sunday, October 2, 1898. A distinguished member of this university to whomwe owe " The Modern Reader's Bible "* points out inhis recent introduction to the writings of St. Johnthat in the fourth gospel (from which the texts fortoday are taken) the miracles of Jesus are representedas signs, or credentials, of his divine commission;that he executes them not as mere wonders, nor,primarily, for the immediate physical benefiting of theperson or the persons involved, but that " the miraculous should be valued only for the spiritual revelation underlying it." "St. John selects only suchwonders as are spiritual signs." He records only themighty acts that Christ executed with the direct purpose of opening the way thereby to some superlativelysplendid revelation or of stimulating the minds of thebeholders thereby with some unusually intense aspiration for spiritual knowledge and power.Both of the texts today bear witness to the truthof this very discerning opinion concerning themiracles of the fourth gospel. Christ's magnificentcharacterization of his Father and himself as " workers " is preceded and prepared for by the sign at thepool of Bethesda ; and that great thought of a mandoing Godlike work, a thought so much greater initself than was known by those who uttered it, isstimulated by the sign of the loaves and fishes. Consider for a moment each of these signs.The sign of the pool of Bethesda. It was the Sabbathday, a day that once was full of the breadth and peaceof God ; a day that once had stood for the " widenessof God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea ; " a daythat had grown narrow and formal and oppressive beneath the teasing trivialities of rabbinical martinets.* Moulton's St. John ; Introduction.172 UNIVERSITY RECORDIt was the Sabbath day, and Jesus Christ, with the unfettered forces of eternity in his glorious person, stoodlooking at a cripple, whose world had narrowed to thestreak of stone between his bed and the brink of thepool. What a contrast between the energy of Christand the apathy of the cripple ! Yet, is it greater thanbetween the souls that have learned from Christ towork the works of God and the crippled natures thathave never known life's larger liberties ? " Wouldstthou be made whole ? " he asks. Must not he, as hesaid it, have seen, with his larger sight, the Jewishnation lying, like that helpless man, paralyzed by theunreality of its religion ; must not he, in gladsomestrength, have rejoiced not only in his power to makeone man walk, but to lift up a fallen world ! And whenthey taxed him with Sabbath-breaking because hecured the man on the Sabbath, his buoyant thoughtsoars above their pettiness, like a royal eagle cleavingthe sunny air a thousand yards above the littlefences of the valley, " My Father worketh even untilnow, and I work."The sign of the loaves and fishes. A host ofhungry men, spread on the mountain [side as sheepwithout a shepherd; he, in the infiniteness of hisdivine resource, giving prompt, adequate, abundantrelief, bread beyond the eating ! At first the meresense of having had enough to eat from stores provided in a way so strange made them merely marvelat the sign which he did, and say, " This is of a truththe prophet that cometh into the world." And then,later on, they slowly thought their way from him andthemselves, they felt the contrast between him andthem ; he so princely in his doing, so grand in his giving, his life counting for so much to so many ; they,amounting to so little, accomplishing so little, doingso little to multiply the bread, to increase the sum ofgood on earth ; and, like Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration, "stung with the splendor of a suddenthought," and not knowing what they said, a newaspiration stirred within them and broke into wordswhose vast significance they could not measure :" What, what must we do that we may work the worksof God ! "My Father worketh even until now! It is Christ'sdeclaration that work is the eternal law of God's existence. What awakening, gladdening, solemnizing,sanctifying thoughts are bound up in that singledeclaration, "My Father worketh!" Compare thattheistic conception, of God as a worker, with thatwhich must b© present to the average idolater, when,bearing propitiatory offerings of food or money, heprostrates himself before the grotesque, silent, impassive idol. Who can think of the contrast without recalling that splendid Hebraic outburst of Ps. 110 :" Our God is in the heavens. He hath done whatsoeverhe pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the workof men's hands. They have mouths, but they speaknot; eyes have they, but they see not; noses have they,but they smell not; they have hands, but they handlenot; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speakthey through their throat. They that make themshall be like unto them. Yea, every one that trustethin them. O, Israel, trust thou in the Lord. He istheir help and their shield." I am not forgetting thehigh philosophical and ethical elements often found,as every student of the oriental religions knows, in atheism impregnated with idolatry. But I cannot persuade myself that the common mind of the idolatersees far beyond the idol itself ; and this for me is thepathos of heathenism and the passion of missions thatthe one knows not, and that the other may unveil, aGod who is a Father working for his children.My Father worketh! Compare this thought, full ofpersonality, full of volition, full of continuous purpose,separated by personality from the world and workingfor the world ; compare it with the resolution of theinfinite life into abstract and impersonal force ; compare it with Pantheism, which has been the faithof many a brilliant university man, and which (to usethe careful language of Professor Andrew Seth)* is"the denial of a distinction between God and theworld, either identifying God with the world of menand things, or, in the emphasis it lays upon the divineas the only reality, reducing the facts of finite existence to a mere show or appearance." My Fatherworketh ! It is a thought without which we cannottruly realize the personality of God. To invest himwith the passive attributes is not enough ; to ascribeto him self-knowledge, wisdom, goodness, truth, isnot enough. We must have action. The mind demands it. We must believe in God at work. It is notenough for me to say, "My Father lives." I am notreally grasping the personality of God until I say," My Father works."My Father worketh even until now ! So Christ himself by these words brings God into touch with ourpresent life ; so he discloses the immanence and theaction of God in his world today. " Even until now."So he opens our eyes to see, to feel, to respond to thepresence and power of God immediately around us, inthe splendid intricacy of natural processes, in the superb and incomparable mechanism of natural objects,in the providential movements of history, in the spiritual movements of the souls of men. God at work —*Seth's Princeton Lectures on Theism.UNIVERSITY RECORD 173here — today — everyday. Not far from everyone ofus, the working Father, in whom we live and moveand have our being.My Father worketh even until now, and I work.I find the significance of these words of the Lord JesusChrist, " and I work," in the thought that Christ is, ashe claims to be, the visible revelation of the Father,the incarnate disclosure upon earth of the unseenGod. " No man hath seen God at any time, the onlyBegotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father,he hath declared him. He that hath seen me hathseen the Father." With what mingled emotions thenof awe, delight, and love does one turn to study theactive side of Christ's life, his life work, when onebelieves, as I believe in my deepest soul, that in attempting to catch the spirit in which Christ did hiswork, I am, in so far as I succeed, comprehending thevery temper and quality of God's work in the world.It is a great subject ; far too great to be treated inthese few and numbered moments. But I would if Imight compress in a sentence or two the essence ofthat devotion of soul, that waking dream of perfection,that sympathetic insight, that, constructive purposeand end which appeared in all the work that Christever did from the day when, with the dew of youthon his delightful boyhood, he said : " I must be aboutmy Father's business," to the hour when, with thedew of death upon his holy brow, he proclaimedfrom the cross : " It is finished! " Consider the devotion of soul that upheld all his work. " I must workthe works of Him that sent me while it is day, for thenight cometh when no man can work." Consider thewaking dream of perfection that was ever before hiseyes. " I came not to do mine own will, but the willof Him that sent me, and He that sent me is with me.The Father hath not left me alone, for I do alwaysthose things that please him." Consider the sympathetic insight that animated him. " The spirit of theLord is upon me, because he hath anointed me topreach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me toheal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to thecaptives, and recovering of sight to the blind ; to setat liberty those that are bruised." Consider the constructive purpose and end toward which he workedin absolute self -f orgetf ulness. " For even the Son ofman is come, not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many." Suchwere the ideals of work that lived in the soul of theLord Jesus Christ, here upon earth ; devotion of self,the waking dream of perfection, sympathetic insight,constructive purpose. And in all that he did,through all those crowded hours of glorious life, theever-present consciousness was with him, that his work was not a self-chosen task, but a divine appointment to produce on earth the visible revelation of aninvisible God. "My meat is to do the will of Himthat sent me, and to finish His work."What must we do that we may work the works ofGodf As I ask this question, translating it from theblind way in which it was asked by those who saw thesign of the loaves and fishes, into the clear intensitywith which it may be asked by men of training andeducation today, I have two convictions about thequestion : one, that it is the highest question that cansuggest itself to the mind ; the other, that no otherplace on earth so well befits the question as the chapelof a university. I say : It is the highest question thatcan suggest itself to the mind. The questions thatbreak from the depths of a man's soul are the landmarks of his development. Particularly is this true inreligion. The measure of a man's spiritual growth is themeasure of the questions into which he throws hissoul. There is the question of an unbelief that thrustsfrom itself, almost with anger, the spiritual problem :"What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son ofGod? I adjure thee that thou torment me not."There is the question of an awakened conscience, terrified by the sight of sin and of its consequences: "Whatmust I do to be saved?" There is the question of aself -centered spirituality, of a soul but half awake tothe meaning of existence : " What shall I do, that Imay inherit eternal life ? " And there is this questionwhich I have called the highest that can suggest itselfto the mind : " What must I do that I may work theworks of God ? " No place in the world so well befitsthis question as the chapel of a university, for no training in the world so fits one to see the many-sidedness oflife and opportunity as the academic training ; no manin the world is brought into such continuous contactwith the higher ideals as the liberally educated man,and of no man in the world may it be more justly presumed than of the university man, that he at least willknow the meaning of Godlike work ; and of none mayit be more surely declared : " Unto him much hasbeen given and of him much shall be required."Now, as I have said that the questions which breakfrom a man are the landmarks of his development, soalso may one say that the conception of the workingvalue of a human life which a man entertains is a standard by which the growth of his soul can be measured.A man may state the working value of his own life inthe terms of drudgery and serfdom, seeing in worknothing but bread winning under the lash of necessity. So do millions of the world's workers think ofwork today. To them — pallid, underfed, poverty-stricken, in factories and mines and stoke-holes and174 UNIVERSITY RECORDquarries — work is nothing but the curse of thornsand thistles on the stubborn earth; nothing butserving out in the great penitentiary of universal toil,a life sentence of sorrow. "In the sweat of thy faceshalt thou eat bread till thou return unto theground, for out of it wast thou taken."A m an may state the working value of his own lifein the terms of technical excellence. Beautiful workbeautifully done. The pride of workmanship. It isa noble conception. It is the inspiration of the highest arts and the incalculable emancipation from theserfdom of mere bread-winning. This is to rejoice inwork for its own sake ; to make toil its own compensation, by doing perfectly the thing to be done.This is to be called by name as was Bezalel of thetribe of Judah, of whom God said : " I have filled himwith the Spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving ofwood, to work in all manner of workmanship."A man may state the working value of his own lifein the terms of intellectual progress. To him bread-winning and money are means to a higher end, theacquisition and advancement of knowledge. To hima man's life consists not in the abundance of thethings that he possesses, but in the greatness of themind's wealth and in the application of materialriches to the furtherance of intellectual and socialprogress. It is here that great scholarship and greatwealth may meet on common ground and perfect analtruistic alliance, and men of the same flesh andblood as the mere bread-winner may rise so far abovehim in the scope of their undertakings and in thesweep of their vision that they shall seem like beingsof a higher race.But the greatest and the best that is open to aman in this world, or in any world, is to state theworking value of his own life in the terms of thedivine life. What shall I do that I may work theworks of God! It is an epoch in a man's life to havethat ideal established in his mind even before he knowshow that ideal may be approached. We have takenthe first step toward the greatest and best that isopen to us in the world, in the hour when, scarceknowing what we say, the ardent wish glows like firein one's soul : " I would state the working value of mylife in the terms of the divine life : I would have mywork divine; I would be a Godlike worker; I wouldwork the works of God." For then the answer is notfar off, breaking upon one like a new revelation of whatit may mean for a man to live on earth a Godlike life." This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." For a moment we wonder that beliefin Christ should be made the way for men to work theworks of God. Then we see how and why it is. Christis the God Man. In his adorable and unique personhe reveals the divine life in the terms of the humanlife. " He that hath seen me hath seen the Father."In the same person he idealizes human life by revealing it in the terms of the divine life. "He that believ-eth on me the works that I do shall he do also, andgreater works than these shall he do, because I gounto the Father." What then, dear brothers, for youand for me is there to do, if we would work the worksof God? This : Let our life be hid with Christ in God,by an absorbing belief in Him whom God hath sent.Then slowly and surely we shall learn to state theworking value of our life in terms of the divine life.We shall learn Christ's secret. We shall grow intomystical union with Christ's spirit ; we shall, perhaps,some day show a faint impression of Christ's image ;of his devotion of soul, eager to be at our Father'sbusiness so long as the day lasts ; of his wakingdream of perfection, offering up every work as inGod's sight, and seeking to do only those things thatplease him ; of his sympathetic insight, anointed ofthe Spirit to be the helpers, the deliverers, the in-spirers of our human brothers ; of his constructivepurpose and end, believing that we have been sentinto this world, and have been endowed with thesesplendid privileges, not for luxury but for service, notto destroy but to build up, not to be ministered untobut to minister and to give our lives a ransom formany.

Eighty-twochildren are in attendance, while the accommodations are limited to ninety. The new building is agreat improvement over that occupied last year inhaving a separate building (connected with the mainbuilding by a covered passage-way) in which areplaced the Gymnasium and the Manual Training,thus removing from the recitation rooms the noisenecessarily connected with such departments.The Domestic Science has larger rooms : a kitchen,large enough for two groups to work together, adining room for those who bring their luncheons, and a " state " dining room where the luncheon cooked bythe groups assigned for the day is eaten. This roomis furnished with two dining tables, a sideboard andset of dishes, so that the giving of a dinner is a matterof thought and management as well as skill in cooking. The sewing branch has larger rooms and will domore work. Miss Althea Harmer is director of Domestic Science, as last year, and is assisted this yearMiss Mary Tough.The Science Department, with Miss KatherineCamp as director, and Miss Katherine Andrews andMiss Mary Hill as assistants, has three laboratories :one for Physics, one for Chemistry, one for Botany,each better equipped than last year.A special room is devoted to Art under the directionof Miss Lillian Cushman, and one to Music under thecharge of Mrs. P. O. Kern.The History Department, under the direction ofthe principal, Miss Georgia Bacon, assisted by MissLaura L. Runyon, has three rooms. Miss Bacon alsohas charge of the instruction in English and numberwork.The Manual Training under Mr. Ball has the upperroom of the rear building, the lower part being devotedto the Gymnasium, under the direction of Miss IdaFurness.Two of the larger front rooms of the main buildinghave been set apart for the use of children betweenthe ages of four and a half and six. There is stillroom in this department for twelve more children.The instruction is under the charge of Miss La Victoire,an experienced kindergartner.The children above the kindergarten age are dividedinto nine groups, each, except the older, being limitedto ten members. The average age of Group IX istwelve years, and this group is entering on the secondperiod of work, in which more formal tasks are assigned.French is taught by Mademoiselle Lorley Ashleman,and Latin by Miss Marion Shipsby.Beside the directors of departments and regularassistants mentioned, three students from the University are giving a portion of their time regularly, making the total teaching force of the school sixteen.The Forum.The Forum Literary Society began its work for theAutumn Quarter Tuesday evening, October 11.
