Richard Orme Fllnn. pastor of North Avenue Presbyterian church. Test, Ps. 39:4. “Lord, make me to know mftte end. and the measure of my days, what It Is: that I may know how frail I am." All Hilnff* save those eternal have an end. a time till which they shall en dure and then shall cease to be. Day has an end when the sunbeams are fad ing and the night shadows fall. The sweetest music has nn end when the fingers tire and the last note faints Into silence. Summer has an end when tho chill breaths of autumn blow and blight the llnwers. Man has an end when his Inn* Journey brings him to the brink, and with faltering footstep* he sinks into the tomb. It was for a realisation of this fact that the Psalmist prayed; it Is for a realization of tills fart that we aval! may jirny today.' Today we live, but tomorrow we die! Tea. this we know—ah! do we? Do we realize that we. who are at present so rnernssed In endless detail of temporal affairs, must soon pass forever from there scenes and fold our hands and He down In a long, last sleep? That you and I. In whose cheek there Is today the glow of health. In whose eye there Is to day the gleam of life. In whoso voice there is the ting of gladness, must soon have our cheeks to pale, our eyes to glazn, our folce to hush, our days to herlsh? Lord, make us to know our end Hint we may not live as though the things of earth were all. nor live on as though this life were endless, but os we live may we be mindful of life’s closa and prepare ourselves to meet its Is sues, What Shall Our End De? This thought of cessation Is not all that Is embodied in this petition, how ever. An end Is not only « time of ■tullilng work, but a time of completing work. An end Is not merely the reach ing of a limit, but the Ailing of a Anal measure, the achievement, the outcome, the grand result of all the forces that have been at work from the beginning until the time that limit Is attained. It Is ihat toward which a thing has been lending till at last the *oal Is reached. Here Is a great quantity of material, brhk. mortar, stone, timbers, steel, ready to be put together Into a building. The work begins, the ground Is cleared, the foundations are laid, the rafters reared and gradually the structure rises. Days, weeks, months, speed past while the. ring of the hammer and the din of work proceeds, but at last there Is sllsnes—the work Is over, the build ing Is done. Until this time It ha* been constantly changing and growing, now the scantling Is stripped away, the debris removed, not another brick la laid, not another hammer stroke Is heard, for the end has come. Here Is a young child Just starting In life with a character ns yet plastic and unformed—day by day as It passes stamps upon hint Its Impress. Gradual ly his character grows as Into It are bullded each thought and word and deed—at Isst the time of building Is over. Death comes and tear* away the covering of clay; the end ha* come; the grand result of all the forces that have been at work Is apparent; the state to ward which that character had" been tending has been attained, life’s time of preparation Is past; the character ae formed Is launched forth Into eternity. Like the marble that growe gradually beneath the chisel of the sculptor, so our characters grow gradually beneath the chisel of habit until at last the form is complete. Not eno of us but Is bet ter or worse from having lived the week that Is closing, for each of Its days has brought out more clearly the form that we are gradually assuming and which we shall bear when life Is over. Hence the need to pray, that this end toward which we hasten may be revealed. God alone can tell u*. for He only knows what the future holds nnd to all save His eye tt Is hidden. Dut God can make us know our end, at least enough iW It to enable us In the present to Judge aright and to art accordingly. The Secret of th# Future, All life Is a growth from something Into something. What we were has de termined what we are. and what we are Is determining what w# shall be. The direction In which we start as we begin Indicates the place where we will stop when we have reached the end. As we begin a day so are.we apt to close It; and thus the weeks, the months, the years and life Itself are determined. If we are poor It Is doubtless because we, or those upon whom we ore dependent, hnvc been careless. Indifferent or prod igal. If we are rich. It Is but the fruit of past diligence nnd toll, and though today we be poor, If with earnestness and frugality ive apply ourselves, we shall be enriched even as by prodigality we may change a present stats of plen ty Into Impoverishment and need. If we are virtuous we will bo honored; If we are vicious we will be diseased and d|s. graced. If wo are studloua we will be 'strengthened, whereas If we trlflo w< shall be dwarfed and distanced In the race. All this Is evident and yet many of us need to make this prayer, that God would quicken us to a realisation of what bur end will bs, because we are thoughtlessly drifting through life, thinking not of the responsibility or living or of Its result. 9Vc drifted through last week, we are In danger of drifting through this coming week, of drifting on to the end. Lord, open our eyes to what Is the certain end of nn aimless life. No mariner need hope to reach a happy haven by simply drift ing with the tide and wind nor need we hope to reach a hippy des tiny or attain a noble character with out a deflnlte aim and nn earnest strife. Men are not good and great by acci dent. If you are to be anything worth while you must llrst aspire and then . chleve else you will be doomed to loss and final failure. History records the namss of men who had an aim In life— It consigns thoss who did not to obliv ion. May God grant us w ho ore living without aim to know that our end must be base and Ignominious. Again, there are some of us who need know nur end, because though we have a deflnlte aim In life that aim Is unworthy; nay. It ma ybe. It Is worse than this. The aim may bo evil and attainment fatal. If we are striving for this world’s honor and glory. If we arc placing Ita treasures above those of heaven, though we may gain our ambi tion It will be but to And at Inst Us worthlessness. Our present lire Is not for ploy or pleasure, but It Is a time for serious preparation for a life beyond that is far more worth whlls—abound ing and enduring. The vast Importance of this present life thus bsenmes appar ent ns we realize that the tvny we live It determines the way we shall end It. and the way we shall end It determines the manner and th# place of our begin ning the other Ilfs that lies ahead and, that lasts forever.’ As one has sold, 1 KEY. RICHARD ORME FUNN. ’’This setting sun will have taken one Irrevocably from the alloted ilnye of our probation. The earth Is our place of probation ami It la all—literally, uh. solutely all. In tlmt probation. If ever, you and I are to bo prepared for that vast eternity of which In a few days we enter. If not prepared then we arc nev er to b» prepared.” Whatever then our slrn may be. nnd In the estimate of the worldly minded, however worthy and valuable It may be. unless It be that which Is of value ac cording to the estimates of that other life toward which we hasten, Its at tainment will be fruitless. "We brought nothing Into this world and It Is certain we can take nothing out.” Nothing save that which we our selves have become In character and In spiritual attainment. The Measure of Our Days. In the second place, the Psalmist prays far a knowledge of the measure of his dnya. "Lord, make me to know mine end and the measure of my days what It Is.” ’ A measure la a stated quantity or limited amount. The measure of a life Is the tlm* betwixt the cradle and the tomb. This meas ure the Psalmist prays to know, and tills measure God seeks to give a knowledge of through the messages of the Brlrptures. Again and again, by varied symbolism, does H* Impress upon us that the quantity of life Is not much, the measure of life Is not long. Life Is but as “a span,” "the sweep of a pendulum, the beat of a pulse. *he Might of a second." “Man Is like the grass. 10 the morning It groweth up, In the evening It Is cut down and wLh- ercth," "Like a watch In the night,” "like a flood” that soon Is past “Our days, our weeks, our months, our years Fly swiftly as the whirling spheres Around the steady pole. Time, like the tide. Its motion keeps Till we shall launch through vastiest deeps, While endless ages roll. "The grove te near the cradle seen. Th* momenta swiftly past between. And whisper as they fly: ’Immortal man. remember this. Though fond of subllmary bliss. Thou soon must gasp and die.”' Ye*, this life at heat Is brief, nnd, furthermore, many of us have already lived out u greater part of It. Already we may see In oureelvea If w# but dare to pause and consider, that there are signs betokening decay and the speedy coming of the drama’s e.lose. There are signs that warn us that our days are woll-nlgh numbered, and that the curtain soon will full. The sliver strand among the darker locks, the lengthening and deepening of facial furrows, the steadier and less elastic step, the quieter and less buoyant spir it. the growing tendency to retrospec tion. tho lessening Interests In affairs that qnee engrossed us. all proclaim that we are approaching the time when the measure of our day* shall be com plete. Well may we. therefore, ask of God to waken us fully to a realiza tion of Ilf*’* brevity In order (hat we may be roused to a noble activity. No Time te Trifle. There Is much that needs to be done In life, and there Is llttlo time In which to do It. There Is enough llm*,, by God's grace, to accomplish His plan for us, but there is no time, according to His plan, that can he wasted. Some have, peradventure. been postponing, attempting that which they know Is vital and must be attended to before tho end shall come, but It Is a folly that will prove filial unless repented of ut once. God, In Hla plan, makes no provision fgr such trilling ur postpone ment. nnd every year's, or month's, or week's, or dny’s, or hour's delay means loss that Is Irreparable. We need not. however, because of this and the real ization qf It, atand repining over time lhat ha* been misspent. The opportu nities that tve have lost while we have been sleeping (as F. W. Robinson In his wonderful sermon on Mark 14:11-4: makes plain), are beyond our reach, but. though this be so, a reali zation of the Irreparable loss of the past that Is gone may wake us to the Importance of making the most of the available future. You have made mis takes. You have failed. You have wavered. You have been defeated. Well, so 1st It be. Confess It unto God nnd repent, and then, In faith, accept the grace He gives pnd go forward. "For noble souls through dust and heat Rise from dlaartir and defeat The stronger. And conscious still of the divine Within them. He on earth supine No longer." "The mill will never grind again with the water that Is past." but let not this thought lead to n wasting of further time in hopeless regret. Instead let us reuse to embrace life's pre cious opportunity and that wo may, let us pray to God In the language of our text that Ha make ua to know our end and the measure of our life, what It Is. Our Frailty. But there Is still one other petition In tide prayer, and nt Oral It seemetb strango indeed. "Lord make me to know mine end and the measure of my days what It Is. that I may know how frail 1 am.” What con be the benefit of such a saddening sense of weakness? Do not our broken resolutions which Indicate moral defeat Impress us suf ficiently with a sens* of nur human frailty? Is not this vary consciousness of weakness a thing we need to over come In order that w* may dare again and strive with more successful effort'.’ Nay—our troubles Has not In this enn- sclousnesa, but In Ha lack. It la nut a greater spirit of Independence but of humility that we need. Our self-reli ance has been the secret of our failure. A deep, pervading, overwhelming con sciousness of Impotence, bom of a re alization of omnipotence Is what n need. W* need to look on God anil aee what He Is that we may know what we are and cease our foolish effort so marked and marred by a stubbornness and self-will. We need with the apost il*, to realise that tve light not against "flesh nnd blood, but against princi palities. Against powers, against the rulers of the darkness at this world, against spiritual wickedness In high places," and that'we dare not. as. alas, too often In the past we have dared— undertake auch warfare without putting on the entire panoply of God. When a. full appreciation of our own (lreperate weakness la realized, then may we, pre vail as we turn with penitential trust to Him who offers the grace that Is sufficient, and Whose power Is made perfect In weakness. Then may wo with Joy hear Isaiah's declaration (40:39). “He glveth power to the faint; nnd to them that have'no might He Increaseth atrength.” And with faith look up and claim Its fulfilment. Our great trouble has been that we have not been faint. We have heen too Con scious of our might. We have nut been such a* God could deal ivlth.and could keep. It I* weak thing* - that (log chooseth to confound the mighty. It Is marred men whom He of ton lays His hand upon for service, and he who ffOSS not quench the* smoking flax or east away tho bruised reed, whan we aro weak enough, wilt strengthen us and through us manifest Hla power. . "We rise by things that are 'neath bur feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain: • By pride debesed nnd passion slain. And the vanquished ill* wo hourly meet.” Yes, he alons, who knowing his own weakness dares lay hold on God's om nipotence, may thus surmount obsta cles, and press onward and upward to ward an er.d worth while.
