That Man May Live, Earl Clement Davis
That Man May Live, Earl Clement Davis
Sermons, 1905-1919
The second of two December 1909 sermons ("Good Will Among Men" is the first) on the "real meaning of Christmas. Davis says to honor Jesus -- to really honor him -- is to recognize that he really believed in creating heaven on earth. We have to do the work now to strive for that ideal and not worship some past hero -- such as Jesus -- and hope that said past hero will save us today. Such focus on the past distracts from the hard work needed today to create the better future for tomorrow.

Good Will Among Men, Is It A Fact Or A Theory? (Incomplete), Earl Clement Davis
Good Will Among Men, Is It A Fact Or A Theory? (Incomplete), Earl Clement Davis
Sermons, 1905-1919
This is the first of two 1909 sermons (the second being on the 'That Man May Live') David gave about the "real meaning" of Christmas. Davis is concerned that the real meaning of Christ is submerged in a bunch of sentimental pseudo-history, "pure and unadulterated rot." He discusses the Roman god Saturnus and the annual Saturnalia festival and holiday. He discusses Jesus' early life and initially becoming aware of his faith. He also talks about his early disciples. This sermon is incomplete.
