WHAT SHALL THE END BE?
By REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN,
PASTOR NORTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
S ERMON, by Rev. 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.
