“Relation between Ethics and Re- 
ligion in Christ’s Teaching” was 
the subject of an able sermon by 
Rey. C. Arthur Lincoln at the Con- 
gregational church in Manchester, 
last Sunday morning. 
“Tt must be recognized,” he said, 
“that Christ formulated no system 
of ethics. While his mind was ca- 
pable of doing such work, and we 
have abundant evidence of his 
unique conception of the relations 
of morality and religion, it was 
plainly not his plan to formulate 
systems and lay down rules in the 
abstract. The instructions that he 
gave arose out of the ordinary hap- 
penings of life and were dictated by 
the exigencies of the moment. 
“Tesus apparently omitted to give 
instruction on such ethical ques- 
tions as patriotism, bravery in the 
defense of one’s country or institu- 
tions, loyalty to the sovereign power 
of the land, etc. 
“He clearly recognized the prev- 
alent distinction between ethics and 
religion. Men believed they could 
serve both God and Mammon with- 
out any conflict in the camp, even 
according to the method of a pres- 
ent day trust builder, not to call 
names. 
“There were at least incipient busi- 
ness sharks with sanctimonious 
coat-tails in those days and they 
were bold enough to turn the temple 
into a stock exchange and work up 
a monopoly on doves. There have 
always been men who believed that 
a little money judiciously spent 
would land them safe on Abraham's 
bosom, no matter if their deeds 
would logically land them beside 
Dives in the place of torment. Jesus 
undoubtedly recognized the distinc- 
tion between ethics and religion. 
“The source of men’s difficulty 
lies in the human heart. Selfishness 
is the core of man’s lost condition. 
Man is disposed to give personal 
consideration and interests the first 
place. 
“Christ taught that immorality 
produced irreligion. His heaviest 
guns were fired against inhumanity 
and He is aroused to the hottest in- 
dignation by inhumanity dressed in 
sheep’s clothing of religion. 
“Many men claim today to be able 
to get along without religion and 
at the same time be moral. When 
men love darkness rather than 
light, it is because their deeds are 
evil and their very rejection of the 
light is their condemnation. 
“When a man once permits the 
almighty power of divine love to 
take hold of the springs of his con- 
duct he is then on the road toward 
the fulfillment of that all inclusive 
command with which Christ in one 
sentence summed up the ethical and 
21 
religious teachings of His Sermon 
on the Mount: “Be ye therefore per- 
fect, even as your father which is in 
heaven is perfect.’ ”
