But in all these holy voices men -find

Some read this book and find only
myths, parables and songs, surpass

sounding brass and tinkling cymbals,
and have no message of light and

the kidneys and bladder are re

Those torturing, enervating sick

John 12:29. “The people that stood
by and heard it, said that it thun
dered: others said that an angel spake
unto Him.”
The Master was near the close of
His ministry. He was under the shad
ow of the cross; the cup was about
to be pressed to His lips. He cries
out to His Father, “Father, glorify
thy name in this hour.” "Then came
there-a voice from heaven, saying, I
have both glorified it and will glorify
it again.” The people who stood by
heard this strange sound, and some
said it was “thunder,” others said it
was an “angel’s voice.”
Possibly we could not imagine two
more variant sounds than that of the
sound of thunder and of an angel’s
voice, yet there were people here on
this occasion who heard the same
sound and attributed it to as widely
different sources as the thunder’s roll
and an angel’s voice. This serves to
illustrate to us the dual effects of
divine manifestations, and this double
effect is always due to the angle of
vision from which a man views the
manifestations of God.
The pillar and cloud that guided
Israel out of Egypt was “a cloud and
darkness to the Egyptians, but gave
light by night to Israel." To the mem
bers of Moses’ band it is light, but to
those in the Egyptian camp the same
object produces darkness. In all ages
God has been manifesting Himself to
men. From burning bush and smok
ing mount; through providential deal
ings, now of mercy, now of wrath;
through prophets and voices from hea
ven; through inspired truth and;'the
person of His Son we have received
divine Manifestations. Yet there have
ever been different effects upon men,
produced by these manifestations.
And this difference has always been
due to the condition of man’s heart
and life. In the camp of Israel it has
always been light. In the camp of
Egypt it has always been dark.
To the man whose heart and life
are right the voice is always soft,
with the accent of an angel. To the
man whose heart and life are not ad
justed to God’s will and ways the
voice is always as terrible as the roll
of the thunder.
Necessity of Adjustment.
There is a natural man and there is
a spiritual man, but the_glory of the
natural is one and the glory of the
spiritual is another. There is a nat
ural world and there is a spiritual
world, but between these there is a
great gulf fixed. Before the natural
man can understand the things of the
spiritual world he must become a spir
itual man. “For the natural man re-
ceiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God, for they are foolishness unto him,
neither can he know them, for they
are spiritually discerned.”
About men everywhere God has
manifested Himself. In nature, prov
idence, scripture, Jesus and the Holy
Spirit, God has been speaking to men,
And yet men have failed to see Him
and to hear Him because they have
not adjusted their hearts and lives to
Him. There has not been that har
mony with God’s will and God’s ways
which is the condition of all under
standing of divine manifestations.
This principle has abundant illus
tration in the material world. If you
bring here two tuning forks, and they
are keyed to the same pitch, you strike
one and the other will vibrate, but
if they are not keyed to the same
pitch there will be no response. The
principle of adjustment is the basic
fact in wireless telegraphy. The* trans
mitting and receiving instruments
must be adjusted^to give and to re
ceive the same number of ether vibra
tions per second before a message can
be- transmitted through space. A cer
tain scientist suggests that a beam of
light is simply an electric message,
and that it can only register its mes
sage upon some object attuned to wel
come it. He supposes a beam of light
sent out by the sun is intended to con
vey the. color of red. It comes forth
representing a Certain number of ether
vibrations per second. It speeds on
through space until it reaches the
earth, and here it goes through forest,
meadow and garden to find something
adjusted to receive it. It passes over
the blades of grass, over the violet,
the daisy and the buttercup, because it
finds no sympathy among them. At
last it comes into our garden and lights
upon a rose and finds a welcome there,
and- there registers its message, be
cause the rose has been precisely at
tuned jto . receive it
Now we may carry this law we find
in nature into a higher sphere and
find that it prevails there. I stood not
long since at a little grave and tried
as best I could to speak words of com
fort to two broken-hearted parents who
were laying away all that was mortal
of a dearly loved child. But all my
words seemed vain, and try as best
could, I could not cheer those sad
hearts. As we turned away from the
lowly mound I saw a man step for
ward, and with but a grasp of the
hand and a look of his eye bring a
ray of sunshine into the faces of those
sorrowing parents. Not one word had
been spoken and yet he had so easily
done that .which I had labored and
longed to do but failed. I wondered
why. And then I learned that he
was fresh;from a little mound where
he himself was planting sweet flowers
of memory for the darling of his home.
Then I knew. God had keyed their
hearts to the same pitch by suffering,
and there was mutual sympathy that
leaped from one heart to the other.
Now let us carry this principle we
have discovered into the spiritual
world. God is the great transmitter
of truth and bears the same relation
to the spiritual world as the sun does
to the natural world. Assume, if you
will, that there is a God; that we have
been created by Him in His image.
It follows then as an inevitable con
clusion that He will sometime, some
how and somewhere speak to His
children and h£ld converse with them.
.And here comes in our principle of
harmony. The man who will hear and
understand these messages of God
must himself be adjusted to the na
ture and character of God.
Nature.
Nature is the universal medium
through which God speaks to men.
“It was the first book issued by the
Divine author from the press of eter
nity.” God’s {lower, thoughts and glory
are visible in all the facts and forces
of the outward world. The heavenly
bodies moving with precision through
“heaven’s homeless way” teach men
punctuality. The bended heads of the
waving fields of grain speak of rever
ence. The winds driving our sails;
the earth giving up its substance to
feed the plants; the mountain giving
up. its ore, all teach man to be useful,
helpful and generous. To the rever
ent student the whole of the natural
world is full of God. The botanist
goes forth to search for its flowers,
and there stands the “Rose of Sharon”
and “The Lily of the Valley” in the
garden of the Lord. The- geologist
digs into the bosom of the earth and
he can go not far till he finds “The
Rock of Ages.” vfThe astronomer
searches the heavens with his tele- ;
scope and there above him shines the
“Bright and Morning Star.” The min
eralogist seeks out the precious gems,
but before his quest is done there
may be for him “The Pearl of Great
Price.”
And yet in this great wonder world;
in this garden paradise of the Lord
there, are two great classes of people.
There are those who look out upon
the world about them and every bush
is aflame with the presence of God.
For them “the heavens declare His
glory and the firmament showeth His
handiwork.” And there are others
who walk through these marvels .of
His handiwork, and monuments of His
presence and see not God anywhere,
and hear not his voice in anything.
The reason for this is not far to seek.
Some souls are in harmony with God
and some are not. Some hearts are
attuned to His and others are out of
harmony. It is a fearful thing to have
only five senses. To be “cribbed, cab
ined and confined” to what we can
see, hear, touch, taste and smell. O,
to have no second sight, no faith!
You pity the poor African who spends
his days .in dark dungeons where dis
eases lurk and serpents hiss, and bows
down to stocks and stones. Pity far
more the man who lives in our land
and day, under the countless manifes
tations of an all-protecting Father’s
care, and finds no God anywhere. It
is a calamity to five in a world just
vibrating with the messages of God
and hear not His voice in anything
and see Him not aiiywhere.

Him. Why do men estimate Him so
differently? “To some He is the chief-
est among ten thousand, and one al
together lovely. To others He is only
a root out of dry ground, that hath
no form or comeliness, that when they
see Him they should desire Him.” To
some “He is the stone of stumbling
and the rock of offense.” To others
“He is the corner stone, elect and
precious.” To some “He is the wis
dom and power of God unto salvation.”
To others “the preaching of Him is
foolishness.” Why all this difference
among men regarding the Christ? It
is only a difference of receptivity.
Some hearts are prepared to receive
Him, and are feeling the need of Him;
others are full -of doubt and are ask
ing: Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth?” Before we can know the
Christ and understand His message
of hope and life to us; before we can
receive Him and find Him a savior we
must bring our hearts and lives into
harmony with the will and nature of
God.
The Holy Spirit.
God speaks to men today through
His Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit’s
dispensation. He is the executive of
God’s kingdom. He has specially to
do with us today in revealing God’s
will, interpreting God’s truth and mov
ing our hearts with noble impulses.
But here our principle also holds good.
It is possible to grieve the Holy Spirit
away or to receive and follow His
guidance. To receive God’s Spirit we
must adjust our lives to receive Him.
We must bring our hearts and wills
into accord with His great plans and
purposes. We must hearken to the
still small voice and move on as He
bids us. The reason we do not have
more of the power of the Spirit is
because Our lives and hearts are not
adjusted to receive Him; we are out
of sympathy with His plans and pur
poses. We are still natural men in
sin, and not wholly spiritual men in
Christ Jesus.
Jesus stood at .the close of his min
istry, and after He had proclaimed a
message of life to a great congrega
tion in the temple court, cried: “He
that hath ears to hear let him hear.”
Standing today in the congregation
of this people my message to you is:
“He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear what all the voices of God in
nature, in scripture, in Christ and in
the Holy Spirit is proclaiming—mes
sages, calling us to the higher and
better life.
There was an orchestra that was
practicing for a reception to he given
in a home across the city. The ques
tion arose if the instruments were
tuned to the pitch of the piano in
that home. The leader stepped to the
phone and calling up the hostess in
that home, asked her to strike the
notes on the piano. Softly and dis
tinctly the tone came over the wire;
the pitch was taken and the instru
ments were tuned. And that evening
as they entered that home the band
was ready to flood it with glorious
music.
From yonder home in heaven God
has sent us the keynote of the life
to be lived .there in the person of His
Son. Here upon earth we are but
practicing, rehearsing. By and by
when His words have become our
words, His thoughts our thoughts, His
deeds our deeds, His love our love,
and His character our character, then,
shall we join the choir invisible and
enter into the harmonies of the re
deemed.
