“ *£<1* T* gilding swiftly by-
And I, a pilgrim stranger,
Would not detain them as they fly,
Thoee hours of toil and danger.’’
His text was Genesis, chapter 47, verse 8:
How old a t thou Y The preacher said::
The Egyptian capital was tho focus of the
World’s wealth. In ships and barges there
had been brought to it from India frank-
encense, and cinnamon, and ivory, and dia
monds ; from the north, marble and iron; from
Syria, nurple and ailk; from Greece, some of
the finest horses of the world, and some of
the most brilliant chariots; and from • all tho
earth that which could best please the eye,
and charm the ear and gratify the taste. There
were temples aflame with red sandstone, en
tered by the gateways that were guarded by
pillars bewildering with hieroglyphics, and
wound with braxen serpents, and adorned with
winged creature*—their eyes, and beaks, and
with precious stones.
_ — auras blooming into
flower-beds; there were stone pillars, at the top
nto a** 1 ® •hapo of the lotus when in
full bloom. Along the avenues, lined with
sphinx, and fane, snd obelisk, there wore
princes who came in gorgeously-upholstered
palanquin, carried ' by servants in scar
let, or elsewhere drawn by vehicles,
Hie snow-white horses, goldcn-bitted and
alx abreast’dashing at full run. There wore
fountains from stone-wreathed vases climbing
the ladders of the light You would hear a
bolt shove, end e door of bran would open like
* uuAn of the tun. The surrounding garden!
were ntunted with odora that mounted the
terrace, and dripped from the arbor., and
burned their incense in tho Egyptian noon.
On floori of mosaic tho gloriea of Pharaoh were
spelled ont in letters of porphyry, and beryl,
and flame. There were ornament, twisted
from the wood of tamarisk, embossed with sil
ver breaking into foam. There were footstools
made out of a single precious atone. There
were bods fashioned out of a crouched lion in
bronze. There were chain spotted with the
sleek hides of leoptrds. There were sofas
footed with the claws of wild beasts, and
armed with the beaks of birds. Aa
you stand on tho level beach of tho sea on a
summer day, and look either way, and there
are miles of breakers, white with tho ocean
foam, dashing shoreward; so it seemd as if tho
sea of tho world's pomp and wealth in tho
Egyptian capital for miles and miles flung it
self np into breakers of marble templo, mau
soleum and obelisk.
It was to this capital and the palace of Pha
raoh that Jacob, the plain shepherd, camo to
meet bis son Joseph, who bad become prime
minister in the royal apartment. Pharaoh and
Jacob meet, dignity and rusticity, the grace-
lhlness of tho court and the plain manners of
the field. The king, wanting to make tho old
countryman at eaae, and seeing how white his
beard is and how feeble his stop, looks famil
iarly into his taco and saya to the old man:
“How old art thou?"
M ight before last the gate of eternity opened
to let in, amid the great throng of departed
centuries, the soul of tho dying yoar. Undor
the twelfth stroke of the brazen hammer of the
city clock, the patriarch fell dead, and the
stars of the night were the funeral torches. It
is most fortunate thaton this road of life there
are to many milestone!, on which we can read
just how fast wo are going towards the jour
ney’s end. I feel that it is not an inappropri
ate question that I ask, today, when! look
into yoar bees, and say, aa Pharaoh did to Ja
cob, the patriarch; “How old art thou?”
People who are truthful on ovary other sub
ject, lie about their ages, so that I do not so
licit from you any literal response to tho ques
tion 1 have asked. I wonld put no one under
temptation; bnt I simply want, this morning,
to see by what rod it la wo are measuring onr
earthly existence. There it a right way and a
wrong way ol measuring a door, or a wall, or
tui arch, or a tower, and ao there is a right
way and a wrong way of measuring onr earth
ly existence. It is with reference to this high
er meaning that I confront yon, this morning,
with tho stupendous question of the toxt, and
atk, “How old art thou?”
. There are many who eetlmato their life by
mere worldly gratification. When Lord Dun
dee was wished a happy New Year, ho aald:
“It will have to be a happier year than the
past, for I hadn’t one happy moment in all the
twelve months that have gone.” But that has
not been the experience of most of ns. We
have found that, thaogh the wnrld It blasted
with sin, it is a vary bright and beautifial
place to reside in. We have had jays Inna
mcrable. There is no hostility between thi
gospel and the merriments ana the feetlvitla
cf life. I do not think that we ftally enough
appreciate the worldly pleasures God gives us.
When yon recount yoar enjoyments, yon do
not go tar enough back. Why do yon
not go back to the time when yon
were an infant in your mother’s arms, look
ing un Into the heaven of her smile; to
those days when yon filled the honae with the
uproar of boisterous merriment; when yon
cheated as yon pitched the ball on the play-
gronnd; when, on the cold, eharp, winter
night, muffled up. on elutes yon shot out over
tho resounding ice of tho pond? Have yon
forgotten ail those good days that the Lord
gave yon? Were you never a boy? Were you
never a girl? Between those times and tala,
how many mercies, how many kindnesses the
Lord has bf stowed upon yon. How many Joys
have breathed up to you from tho flowers, and
sbono down to yon from the stars, and chanted
to yon with the voice of aoaring
bird, and tumbling cascade and boom*
lug sea, and tbnndere that with bay
onets of fire charged down the mountain side!
Joy! Joy! Joyl If then is anyone who haa
a right to the enjoyments of the world it b the
Christian, for God haa given him a lease to
everything in tho promise: “All are yours.”
Bnt 1 have to tell yon, that a man who esti
mates his life on earth by mere worldly grati
fication Is a moat unwise man. Our life is not
to be a came of chess. It is not a dance in
ligbtedhall, to quick music. It is not the both
of an ale pitcher. It is not the settlings of a
wine cnp. It la not a banquet with intoxication
end royatering. It is tho lint step on a ladder
that mounts into the skies, or the first
- rrible
■X
And standing before yoo
today, with life on the one side and death on
tho other, song on the one aids and groaning
on tho other, mansions on the ono aide ana
dungeons on the other, heaven on the one aide
and hell on the other—I pat to yon the ques
tion of tho text; “How old art thon?” Towards
what destiny are yon tending, and how bat
are yon getting on towards it?
Again: I remark that there are many who
estimate their life on earth by their sorrows
and their misfortunes. Through a great many
of yoar lives tbs plough-share hath gone very
deep, taming np a terrible furrow. Yon have
huen betrayed and misrepresented, and set
upon, and slapped of impertinence, and pound
ed of misfortune. The brightest life must have
its shadows, and the smoothest path its thorns.
On the happiest brood the hawk ponneas. No
ear ape from trouble of some kind. While glo
rious John Milton was losing his aye-sight, he
heard that fialmaalea was glad or it. While
Sheridan's comedy was bring enacted in Drary
abyss. So that i
■ world ws are only
log up the harp of a rapture, or
chain of a bondage.
Lane theater. Cumberland, his enemy, ait
growling at it in the ataga box. While
Bishop Cooper wae surrounded by
the favor of learned men . hta
wife took Us lexicon manuscript, the result of
along lib of anxiety and toil, and threw it
into the fire. Misfortune, trial, relation for
almost evermore. Pope, applauded of all the
world, haa a stoop in tho shoaldor that aoaoya
him ao mack that ha has a tunnel dog, ao that
ha may go, unobserved, from garden to grotto,
and from grotto to garden. Cano, the famous
disgusted with* the crucifix
tfiat tho priest holds before him, because it is
such spoor specimen of sculpture. And so,
sometimes through taste, snd sometimes
through learned menace, and sometimes
through physical distresses, aye, in ton thou-
«na ways, troubles come to harass aad annoy.
Ana yet it is unfair to measure a man’s
JU ® b F his misfortunes, because
w h®*e there is one stalk of
niffhtshode, there are fifty marigolds and hare
bells; where there is one cloud thunder chargol
there are hundreds that stray across the
heavens, tho glory of land and sky asleep In
their bosom. Because death camo and took
your child away did you immediately forget
all the five years, or the ten years, or the fif
teen years in which she came every night for a
kiss, all the tones of your heart pealing forth
at the sound of her voice or the soft touch of
her hand? Because in some financial eurocly-
don your fortune went into tho breakers, did
you forget all these years in which the luxuries
and extravagances of life showered on your
pathway? Alas! that is an unwise man. an un
grateful man, an unfair man, bn unphilosophic
man, and. most of all, an unchristian man, who
hIa on earth by groans, and tears,
and dyspeptic fit, and abase, and scorn, and
terror, and neuralgic throst.
Again: I remark that thore are manypeoplo
who estimate their life on earth by tho amount
ofmoney they have accumulated. They say:
‘•The year 1866, or 1876, or 1886 was wasted.”
>>hy? Made no money. Now, it is all cant
ana insincerity to talk against money os though
it had no value. It is refinement, and educa
tion, and ten thousand blessed surroundings.
It is the spreading of the table that feeds your
children’s hanger. It is the lighting of the
farnace that keeps yon warm. It is the mak
ing of the bed on which you rest from care aad
anxiety. It is the carrying out at last of you
to decent sepulture, and the putting up of tho
slab on which is chiselled the story of your
Christian hope. It is simply hypocrisy, this
tiisde in pulpit and lecture-hall, against mom y,
as though it had no uses. It is hands, and
feet, and sails, and ten thousand grand
and glorious enterprises. But while
all this Is so, lie who uses money, or thinks of
money as anything but a means to an end, will
find ont his mistake, when the flittering t:
oat of his nerveless grasp, and no
is world without a shilling of money
rrasp, and.
_ jbilling of r
or a certificate of stock. He might better have
been the Christian porter that opened his gate,
or the begrimmed workman, who last night
heaved the coal into his cellar. Bonds and
mortgages, and leases havo their uses, bat they
make a poor yard stick with which to measure
life. They that boast themselves in their
wealth, and trust on the multitude of their
riches, none of them can, by any means, re
deem bis brother, nor give to God a ransom for
him, that be should not seo corruption. “ Wire
men die, likewise the fool and the brutish per
son perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
Bnt I remark: There are many—I wish there
were more—who estimate their lifo by thoir
moral and spiritual development It is not sin
ful egotism for a Christian man to say, ”1 am
purer than I used to be; I am more consecrated
to Christ than I used to be; I have got over a great
many bad habits in which I used to indulge; I
am a great deal better man than I used to bo.”
There is no slnfol egotism in that. It is not
base egotism for a soldier to say, "I know more
about military tactics than I used to, bofore I
took a musket in my hand and learned to
‘present arms,* and when I was a pest to the drill
officer.” It is not base egotism for a sailor to say,
“I know how better to clew down tho mizzen
And there is no sinful egotism when a
Christian man, fighting the battles of the
Lord, or, if you wifi have it, voyaging towards
a haven of eternal rest, says: “I know more
abont spiritual tactics, and about voyaging to
wards heaven, than I used to.” Why, there
are those In this presence who have measured
lances with many a foe, and unhorsed it.
There are Christian men here, who have be
come swarthy by hammering at the forgo of
calamity. They stand on an ontiraly dif
ferent plane of character from that which
they once occupied, They are measuring
their life on earth
by golden-
on Sinai and heard it thunder. Thoy havo
stood on Flsgah and looked over Into the prom
ised land. They have stood on Calvary and
seen the cross bleed. They can, like Paul tho
apostle, write on their heaviest troubles
"light,” and "but fora moment.” The darkest
night their soul is irradiated, os was tho night
over Bethlehem, by the faces of thoso who
remark again: There are many (and I wish
there were more) who are estimating life by
the amount of good they can do. John Brad
ford said he counted that day nothing at all in
which he had not, by pen or tongue, done somo
good. If a man begins right, I cannot tell how
many tears he may wipe away, how many
burdens he may lift, how many orphans he
may comfort, how many outcasts he may re
claim. There have been men who havo given
their whole life in the right direction, concen
trating all their wit and ingenuity and mental
acumen and physical force and
enthusiasm for Christ. They
climbed the monntain and delved
into the mine, and crossed the sea, and trudged
nakedness, by the miles they travelled to alle
viate every kind of suffering. They felt in the
thrill of every nerve, in tho motloa of every
muscle, in every throb of their heart, In every
respiration of their longs, tho magnificent
troth: "No man liveth for himself.” They
went through cold and through heat, foot-blis
tered, cheek-smitten, back-scourged, tempest-
lashed to do their whole duty. That is the
way they measured lifo—by the amount of
E ood they could do. Do you want to know
ow old Luther was; how old Bichard Baxter
was, how old Pnillip Doddridge wasT Why,
you cannot calculate the length of their lives
by any human arithmetic. Add to their lives
ten thousand times ten th in sand years, and
you have not expressed it—whst they havo
lived or will live. O. what a standard that is
to measure a man’s lire by! There are those in
this house who think they havo only llvod
thirty years. They will have lived a thousand
—thoy have lived a thousand. There are those
who think they are eighty years of age. They
have not even entered upon their Infancy, for

tact or talent Is; Ido not know what may be
the fascination of your nlanners or the repul*
siveness of them, but I know this: there is for
yon, my hearer, a field to culture, a harvest to
reap, a tear to wipe away, a soul to save. If
yon have worldly means, consecrate them to
Christ If yon have eloquence, use it on the
sido that Paul and Wilberforce used theirs. If
yoa have learning, pat it all into the poor-box
of the world’s buffering. Bat if you have noae
of these—neither wealth, nor eloquence, nor
learning—you, at any rato, have a smile with
which you can encoarage the disheartened; a
frown with which yoa may blast injustice; a
voice with which you may call the wandorer
back to God. "O,” you say, “that
is a very sanctimonious view of lire!” It Is
not. It is the only bright view of life, add it
is the only bright view of death. Contrast the
death scene of a man who has measured life
by the worldly standard, with the death
scene of a man who has measured life by the
Christian standard. Guinn, tho actor, in his
last moment said: “I hope this tragic scene
will soon bo over, and I hope to keep my dig
nity to the last.” Malherbe said in his last
moments to the confessor: “Hold yoar tongue!
uts me out of conceit
Chesterfield, in his last
moments, when he ought to have been pray
ing for his soul, bothered himself about the
proprieties of the sick room, aad said: "Give
Dnybolcsa chair.”- Godfrey Kneller his last
hours on earth in drawing a diagram of
his own monument. Compare the silly
and horrible departure of such men
with the seraphic glow on tho face of Edward
Psyson, as he said in his last moment: "The
breezes of heaven fan me. I float in a sea of
glory.” Or, with Paul, the apostle, who said
in bis last hour: "1 am now ready to be offered
up, and the time of my departure is at hand.
1 have fought the good fight, I havo kopt the
faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness which the Lord, tho
rempare it
you wit*

rid is a false god! It will consume you
flees, while the righteous
lasting remembrance; and when tho thrones
have fallen, and tho monumonts have crum
bled, and the world has perished, thoy shall
banquet with tho conquerors of earth and tho
hierarchs of heaven.
This is a good day in which to begin a new
style of measurement. How old art thou?
You see the Christian way of measuring life,
and the worldly way of measuring it. Ileave
it to you to say which is tho wisest aud host
way. The wheel of timo has turned very
swiftly, and it hns hurled us on; Tho old year
has gono. Tho now year lias come. For what
you and I liavo bcou lauuched upon it, God
only knows.
how let me ask you all: Have you made any
preparation for the future? Yoa have made
preparation for timo, my dear brother, havo
you made any preparation for eternity? Do
you wonder that when that man on the Hud
son river, in indignation, tore np the tract
which was handed to him, and Just one wor t
landed on his coat sleeve—tho rest of tho tract
being pitched into tho river—that one
word aroused his soul? It was that ono word,
so long, so broad, so high, so deop, eternity! A
dying woman, in her last momouts, said: “Call
it back!” Thoy said: “What do you want?”
"Time,” she said: “call It back!” On, it cannot
bo called back! Wo might loso our fortunes
and call them back, we might lose our health
and perhaps recover it; wo might lose onr
good name and get that back; but time gouo is
gono forever.
> you really, os to tbo matter of safety,
wnciner you go now or go sorao othor yoar—
whether this year or tho next year, Both your
feet on the rock, fire waves may dash around
yo.n Yon can say: “God is our refuge and
strength—a very present help.” "'You are on
the rock, and you may defy all earth and holl
to overthrow you. 1 congratulate you. I give
you great joy. It is a happy Now Year to yoa.
I can see no sorrow at all in tho foot that oar
years are going. You hear some people say:
“1 wish I could go back to boyhood.” I would
not want to go bock again to boyhood. I am
afraid I might mako a worse Hfe out of it than
1 have made. You could not afford to go book
to boyhood if It were possible. You might do
a great deal worso than yon havo done. Tho
past is gono! Look out for tho future!
To all Christians it is a time of gladness. I
am glad tho years are going. You are coming
on nearer homo. Lot your countenance light
up with the thought. Nearer homo.
Now, when one can sooner get to the centre
of things. Is he not to bo congratulated? Who
wants to be always in tho freshman class? Wo
study God in this world by the biblical photo
graph of Him, but we all know wo can tu five
minutes of intervlow with a friend get more
accurate idea of him than wo can by studying
him fifty years through pictures or words. Tho
little child that died at six months of age
knows more of God than all Andover, and all
Princeton, and all New Brunswick, and all
Edinburgh, and all the theological institu
tions in Christendom. It is not bettor to go up
to the very headquarters of knowlodgo?
Does not onr common sense teach us that it
Is better to bo at tho center than to be clear
out on tbe rim of the wheel, holding nervous
ly fast to the tire lest wo Ire suddenly hurled
Into light and eternal felicity? Through all
kinds of optical instruments trying to peer in
through the cracks and the keyholes of heaven
—afraid that both doors of tno celestial man
sion will be swung wido open before our en
tranced vision—rushing about among the
apothecary shopa of this worid, wondering if
this is good for rheumatism, and that is good
for neuralgia, and sometning else is good for a
bad cough, lest we suddenly Ire ushered into a
land of everlasting health, where the inhabit
ant never says, “1 am sick.”
What fools wo all are to prefer tho circua*
fercncc to the center. What a dreadful thing
it wonld be If we Hhould be suddenly ushered
from this wintry worid into the Maytime
orchards of heaven, and if our pauperism of sin
and sorrow should be suddenly broken up bv a
E resentation of an emperor's castle, surrounded
y parks with springling fountains and paths,
up and down which angels of God walk.
We are like persons standing on tbe cold
stem of tbe National picture gallery in London,
under umbrellas iu tho ruin, afraid to
go in amid the Tumors, and
the Titians and the Raphaels. I
come to them and say: “Why don’t you go In-
sido tbo gallery?” "U,” they say, "we don’t
know whether we can get iu!” 1 sar: ‘Mion’t
yon see the door is open?” “Yes,” they say,
• but we havo been so long on these cold steps,
we are so attached to them we don't like to
leave.” "But,” I soy, “it is so much brighter
and beautiful in the gallery, you hod better go
in.” "No,” they say, “we know exactly how
it is out here, but we don’t know how it is In
there.” O, let us be glad that we are one rear
nearer the nceuo that explains all, and irra
diate* all!
In 1H35 the French resolved that at Ghent
they would have a kind of musical demointra*
tion that had never been heard of. It would
be made up of tho chimes of bells and
tlic discharge of cannon. The experiment was
a perfect sucres*. What witlv the ringing of
the hclis and the report of tho ordnance, the
city trembled, and the hills shrek with
tbe triumphal march that wu as
strange as it was overwhelming!
With a more glorious accompaniment,
will God’s dear children go into their high
tbe towers, and of the lighthouse*,
and of the cities, will strike their sweotuaas
into a last chime that shall ring into the hciv*
ena and float off upon the sea, joined b** the
boom of bnrftting mine and magazine, aug
mented by all the cathedral tow
ers of heaven—the harmonies of
earth and the symphonies of the
celestUI realm making up one great triumphal
march, fit to celebrate the ascent of tho re
deemed to where they shall shine as thasUrs
forever and forever. With such anticipation*
we ran look back without a single regret upon
tbe flying years, and forward with exalt ttion
to tho timo when the archaagsl, with one foot
on the ora and tho other foot ow the land, shill
