Saul drives tho shoe)' and oxen down toward home. He bus no Idea that Samuel, the prophet, will find out that he lifts saved these sheep and oxen for himself. Samuel comes and asks Saul the news from the battle. Saul puts on n solemn face for there Is no one who can look more Soli >nin tlmn ”f bat'd your fulfilled genuine hypocrite, i:he Command and lib.says, of the Lord.” Samuel listens, niul lie hears the idea drove that of sheep a prophet's little way off.

No, no! He says tho army not himself, nf course, but the sacrilleo, a :■ mv—had saved the sheep and oxen for and then they thought It would be too bad anyhow to kill Agag, tlieAmalo- kftish king. Samuel takes the sword, and takes be slashes the Agag of his L> ■pieces, coat In mid then oriental he skirt true style and rends R in twain, as much ns to say, ‘‘You, Haul, just Jlkn that, shall bo torn away from your empire and torn nwny from your throne.’’ In other words, let till tile tuitions of tilt) earth lieitv tht' story that SlUil, by disobeying, God; Won it llocic bf I sliohp, learn but lost a kingdom. from tills subject that God will bus oxposo fulfilled hypocrisy. divine Here Haul pretends he tho commission by slay¬ ing all the beasts belonging to the Anutle- kites, and yet at the very moment he is telling tho story and practicing the delu¬ sion the secret comes out, and tho sheep bleat and the oxen bellow. A hypocrite is one who pretends to be tvhat lie is not or to do what lie does not. Haul was only a type, of a class. Tho mod- era hypoerito looks and awfully solemn, whines When ho prays during Ills public de¬ votion shows a great deal of the White of Ills eyes. Ho never laughs, or, If lie does laugh, lie seems sorry for It afterward, as though he had committed some great in¬ discretion. The, first time, he gets a chance ho prays twenty minutes in public, and when he exhorts ho seems to imply that all the race are sinners, with one exception, his modesty forbidding the stating who that one is. There are a great many churches that have two or three ecclesiasti¬ cal Uriah Hoops. When tho fox begins to pray, look out for your chickens. The more genuine re¬ ligion a man has tho more comfortable lie will be, but you may know a religious Im¬ postor by the fact that he prides himself on being uncomfortable. A man of that kind is of immense damage to tho church of Christ. A ship may outride a hundred storms, and yet a handful of worms in the church planks nmy sink it to the bottom. in The of God is not so much danger of tin* cyclones of trouble and persecution that come upon it as of tho vermin of hypocrisy danger to that the fold infest it. Wolves unless are of no of God they look like sheep. Arnold was of more damage to the army than Cornwallis and Ids hosts. certillcate! Oil, wo cannot deceive behind God with a church He sees tho curtain as well as before tho curtain. He sees every¬ thing inside out. A man may through policy hide his rood character, but God will after awlillo tear open the whited sepulcher and expose the putrefaction. Sunday faces cannot save him. Long prayers cannot save him. Psalm singing and churchgoing cannot save him. God will expose him just ns thoroughly as though He branded upon Ids forehead the word successful “Hypocrite.” lie may think he lias been in tho deception, hut at the most unfortunate moment the sheep will bleat and the oxen will bellow. One of the cruel bishops of olden time was going to excommunicate one of the martyrs, and he began In the usual form—“In Hie name of God, amen.” "Htop,” says the martyr. “Don’t say‘In the name of God!”’ Yet bow many outrages are practiced un¬ der the garb of religion and sanctity. When in synods and conferences something ministers of the gospel erly end are unkind about to abput say member, unbroth- they a almost tho always begin by being assault tremendously pious, ponding venom of their flavor of the corres¬ to the heavenly pre¬ lude. Standing there, you would think they were ready to go right up Into glory and that nothing kept them down but the weight of their boots and overcoat, when suddenly the sheep bleat and the oxen bel¬ low. Ob, my -dear friends, let us cultivate simplicity of Christian character! Jesus Christ said: “Unless you become as this little child you cannot enter tho kingdom of God.” We may play hypocrite success¬ fully now, but tho Lord God will after awhile expose your true character. You must know tho incident mentioned In tin- history of Ottaoas, Handoiphus who was asked to kneel in the presence of i., and a when before him he refused to do it, but after a while he agreed to come in private when there was nobody in the king’s tent, and then br> would kneel down before him arid had worship, arranged but the servants drawing .of the cord king it so that by a the tent would suddenly and drop. Ottacas after a while came in, supposing lie was in entire privacy knelt before Jiaudol- ptius.
