Yet there ! i much haphazard building. With he greatest variety of plans there is ittlo attention to standards, and an afiiiite variety of results, because the pattern is not selected with the care m architect draws liis designs upon lis trestle board.

Moses did not rear it i.pon the cloud-encircled mount, but in the plain, that you and I might be encour aged to realize the purpose of God for us in the field of common daily re lations and amid what will otherwise be the drudgery of daily living. He leaves us the same task. Merchant and teacher, sailor and soldier, farm er and workman, author and editor housewife and clerk, mistress and maid, lawyer and preacher, however humble and obscure our lives seem, we are to be fellow workmen with God in bringing things divine into these seemingly common and un meaning activities and relations. After the clouds and glory had with drawn from Sinai, the humblest Is raelite could point to the tabernacle and say: “The glory of God still fol lows us all through our wilderness wanderings in that tabernacle yonder, and without me it would never have been complete.” Your life, where it is, is needed for the rearing of some thing greater and better than the tabernacle in the world of to-day, and without it the kingdom ©f God will never oome in its fullness. Before this all other needs of our time sink into insignificance; for the truest tabernacle for the showing forth of God to the world is not a pattern hidden in the majesty of unapproach able heights, nor is it temple ©r cathedral, helpful as these may be, but a life simple outwardly, though with luxuriant and divine furnishings within; a life spent on the levels where our fellow men live theirs, filled not with such consecrated fur nishings as adorned the tabernacle Moses fashioned, but with the graces and kindly deeds men need to see and feel near at hand. This is our work, as divinely appointed to us as it was to Moses. It is the greater building, in which all our common tasks and humblest efforts may have an honored place as truly as did the altar and laver in the ancient tabernacle. But for this successful building of our lives into God’s purpose we, too, must seek our pattern in the mount. God Himself builds according to plan. Even a casual glance at His wonderful world this morning w r ill disclose that. Purpose and plan are everywhere. Not one grain of send is a law unto itself. Not one flower blooms, or withers, unbidden. Not one. leaf drops before its time. Not a bird note is unrelated; its music is born from present conditions and wakes its own echo. All things fall into their place and carry out the di vine purpose. This is the method f the divine building, whether in nature or in hu man lives. And it may be so in your life and mine. We may know God’s purpose for us and follow it as truly a3 the grain of sand, the flower, the bird of the air. “If any man willeth to do His will,” said the Master, “he shall know.” God doe* not withhold His plan from any maa. The mount is ever ready for the revealing of the pattern, but men must take the time to learn, to withdraw to its retreat. The pattern came not te Moses till he had twice spent forty days and forty nights in the mount alo*e with God. After many years’ tuition in the wilderness came John the Baptist, herald of Christ. The wilderness was his mount of vision. Handel had a spiritual ear, and gave the world th* oratorio of the Messiah, and when %e hear it we must not forget the long period of preparation. Michael Ae gelo had the spiritual eye and hand and painted the frescoes of the Paul ine Chapel with the representations of the martyrdom of St. Peter and the conversion of St. Paul, and carvad the statues of “David” and “Moses.” If Paul spent three years in Arabia to meditate upon the vision he had had of the Christ, who had met him on his way to Damascus; if Christ Himself retired to solitary places for quiet and prayer, you and I need time for such a disclosure of God’s will for us as He is waiting to give. Before we can rightly rear the tabernacle of our lives in the plain of daily ser vice we must seek the pattern in the mount, not Sinai, but the heaven reaching life of Christ. The divine pattern has come near men in Jesus Christ. We have net to seek it amid the perils, darkness and difficulties of Sinai; it is here with us, built in all its divine perfection on the levels of our daily needs; supplying us with all desirable inspirations, helps and satisfying fellowship, opening the very vail by which we enter into the most holy place itself. It is not a mount distant and removed, but a presence near at hand, familiar with our needs, to which we may with draw in moments of discouragement or temptation, full of divine comfort and solace for the hours of sorrow, full of divine strength and vitality in our days of weakness when all other help seems far away, full of gracious warning when we are careless and wayward. We need ever to be with drawing into this mount, Jesus Christ, if we are to realize the pattern in the plain of our earthly living. Be cause it is so accessible, so complete in its ministry. “See, therefore, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was shewed thee in the mount.” Why? Is there not something minutely pathetic in the continual going back of one generation after another to the old, sad mystery of pain? There is, I suppose, says the Rev. George Jack son, nothing new to be said about it; there is no fresh light to be cast upon it; yet still men wait and watch with hope, still the poor brain busies itself and the torn heart cries aloud, “My God, my God, why—?” Other questions we answer, or they answer themselves, or we are content that they should remain unanswered; but this question is always with us. And, indeed, how should it be otherwise, since on every man, soon or late, the dark mystery thrusts itself? “Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble.” The words are very old, they are never obsolete. The generations come and go, but sorrow and pain and death abide. -i,, - - •* The Reason.
