“cheap,” as implied by pretending to
offer any article of goods for less than

Nkw York Cm.—The Rev. Dr J. Wil
bur Chapman, America’s most famous pas
tor-evaagelist, v, no took charge of a mori*
bund chur. h in this city several years ago,
and is now preaching to an overflowing
congregation, has furnished the following
eloquent sermon to the press-. It was
preached from the text; I Kings, 19: 4,
’But he himself went a day's journey into
the wilderness, and came and sat down
under a juniper tree, and he requested fo:
himself that he might die.”
The history of Elijah begins with the
seventeenth chapter of 1 Kum* iud starts
wuth the word "and- The preceding
chapter tells us of the idolatry of the peo
ple. of the reign of lawlessness and •he
apparent triumph of iniquity.. It, seemed
as if the end of all thin* tViu come, and 1
suppose everybody living in that time
thought so, but if this was the impression,
the fatal mistake had been made bemuse
< od is left out of all eonp.Merft.tion. It is
well tor us to reinqmhtf that He is never
at a loss. The ISuul may he overrun with
iniquity, lira witnesses may be silenced,
out all the time He is preparing a man in
some quiet village as lie prepared Elijah,
and ut the right time He will stud him
forth with no uncertain testimony! There
is really no place for pessimism in the
kingdom of God. He has never made a
failure in the past, He never will in the
future, ”lf God be for us, who can be
against us.” It is literally true that when
the enemy comes in like a flood this spirit
of the Lord shall lift up a standard against
him.
The story of Elijah is most interesting,
and we trace him from his sudden appear
ance here flashing like a meteor upon the
scene of action, down to Cherith, where
he is fed by the ravens, ovfr to Zarepnatn,
where he relieves the distress of the wom
an who meets him, but the most remark
able scene in his life is on Mt. Carmel,
where, facing the prophets of Baal, after
their inability to call down fire from heav
en he produces the lire from the very
hand of God, which consumed the sacri
fice, licks up the water in the trenel-.es
and gives him victory of a most remarka
ble bind. The propnets of Baal are dis
tressed, end the news concerning their de
feat is carried to Jezebel. She is intensely
angry, and declares that Elijah shall be as
her prophets are at tt certain hour of the
day. Instead of looking up to God and
trii’annhing over this wicked woman Eli
jah does quite the opposite, and thus it is
that the text is written to describe his sad
fall.
How are the mighty fallen? It would
be difficult to imagine a man in whose life
there was more of real contrast; now he is
master in prayer and the pendulum which
swings one way toward glory swings in
his life In the other direction toward de
spair, and the prayer for victory becomes
a wail of distress; now he is locking up
the heavens and holding the key and ap
parently at his own will the rain tarries or
falls, and now utterly dismayed he is rush
ing to the wilderness and wishing that he
night die, but Elijah is not alone in this
desire. The most of men have at one time
or another wished that they might end all.
Mose-. did, “And if Thou 'deal thus with
me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I
have found favor in Thy sight, and let me
not seo my wretchedness.’ Numbers 11:
15. So also did Jonah, “Therefore now, O
Lord, take, I beseech Thee, my life from
me; for it is better for me to die than to
live.” Jonah 4: 3. And even the great
Apostle Paul said, “I am in a strait be
twixt two, having a desire to depart and to
be with Christ, but the trouble with the
most of us is we want to dig our own way.
Elijah was not willing to die at the hand
of Jezebel, but he was quite ready to sleep
himself away into insensibility under the
juniper tree in the desert. Elijah made a
gr at mistake in ruining away. If he had
stood his ground he might have saved his
country, prevented the captivity of the
people, for 1 doubt not the 7000 that had
not bowed the knee to Baal would have
come forth, and they would have rushed
forward conquering and to conquer, but
Elijah is a picture of ourselves, and we all
like him have been times without number
under the juniper tree. The object of this
sermon is to ask the question, “Why we
are thus discouraged,” and then to deter
mine if possible what the difficulty was
with Elijah.
Why are we? There are thousands of
people to-day who are utterly dissatisfied
with life because th y are living too artifi
cial an experience. We have very many
things that our ancestors did not possess.
The possession of these tilings ought to
bring to us g eat blessings i.i every way.
but a3 a matter of fact it is true that
neither happiness, nor brotherly love, nor
power nor good have been increased i.i
the least. We have indeed gone in the op
posite direction, and many of us arc of
al men most miserable. We are discon
tented because wc are trying to be some
thing that we arc not. The business man
thinks he must keep pace with his compet
itor whatever the cost to himself, and in a
little time lie finds himself out cf his lati
tude. In society thousands cf people arc
aping the customs aid mann-rs of those
ivho arc in an entirely different set from
the nelvcs, by whose side they can never
stand, and if they did they would be only
the mere unhappy, and there are thousands
of homes where instead of living a simpfe
life the members of the household arc hy
ing at a pace that is terrific, and all this
the business man, the society
woman, the parents and the children, and
instead of possessing joy and peacc_ we aie
under the juniper tree. The thirst for
pleasure in these days is so great that we
have become absolutely unscrupulous in our
attempts to gain the objects of our de
sires. We ought to be satisfied with just
what we are and in the most natural way.
We hove come into the world with differ
ent gifts, some one with gold, others with
silver, still others with marble and many
with only clay, and our task is to fashion
th'sc things into the strongest manhood
and the truest womanhood, and to do it
in the most simple raid unaffected man
ner. \\ e are too selfish in our living, wi
long to satisfy our appetites, our passions
and our desires. This longing has become
uppermost In our living, and the man who
makes it so makes his appetite stronger

P.9®sesiy. the Secret, not because he is
rithva |ioor or rich, but simply because he
knows how to be content. The mere fact
that we are Christians does not amount
to much in many eases; if our religion in

The difficulty is not in our surroundings.but
in ourselves. “Joy is not in things, it is
in us.”

was made out of all proportion to
the rest of the house in size and splen

quarters, where people and furniture in
commoded each other generally. Then,
having emptied his purse and upset hk
household by this stroke of genius, he
awaited the royal guest. Alas, he soon
saw the end of the empire arrive, but the
Emperor never. The folly of this poor
man is not so rare. As sottish as he are

11.
What was the difficulty with Elijah?
First his physical strength had been over
taxed. He had been laboring under the
highest tension, his nerves were unstrung,
and he was just in the position where
Satan could tempt him The worst. There
are many like him to-day. They are i.l
despair, and they need not so much a spir
itual physician as the presence of a doctor
who can tell them that their bodies must
have rest, their nerves must be built up,
and they themselves must remember that
their bodies are the temples of the Holy
Ghost, and that they may sin against Cod
just as truly when they break commands
touching the body as when they commit
sins touching the soul. Elijah needed rest,
and instead of taking it he prayed that he
might die.
Second, he looked away from Cod to hb
circumstances. Up to that time he en
dured as seeing Him who was invisible,
then like Peter when he saw the wind that
was boisterous he becaa to sink. I do not
think that any minister could preach to
day if he realized the iniquity that sur
rounded him, the hypocrisy in many
hearts, the awful sins in many lives; he
would grow faint and sick r.t heart, and
all because he looked down, while it is
possible, on the other hand, for anybody
to preach in the midst of all this desola
tion if he keeps his eyes turned up, and
the difficulty with you is not that your
power is dead, but that your eyes are fast
ened upon the ground instead of turned
upward to heaven, and the cause of your
distress is not that your mother has gone
away from your home, but that you are
standing like Mary looking in at the tomb,
when you ought to be standing with up
turned face looking by faith into the very
midst of the angel company in heaven.
What if the difficulties arc great, let us
look to God in it all.
The other day in roy mail came a little
piece of poetry from a friend in England,
which has been singing its way like a bird
cf paradise through my soul all the week.
“When the way seems dark and. dreary,
Think of Him.
Lest thy heart grow faint and w:ary,
Think of Him.
For He knowetl all the wag,
And His strength will be thy stay;
ITc can cheer thi darkest day,
Think of Him.
‘When come sorrow softly presses.
Think cf Him.
For through trial - oft lie blesses,
Think of Him.
He alone can ur derstand.
Leave it all in Ilis dear hand;
In Lis love for thee He planned,
Think of Him.
T/hcn some anxious care perplexes,
Think of Him.
Lest thy inmost soul it vexes,
Think of Him.
Bring thy care and thou shaL see,
He wii: bear it a’l for thee;
lie would have thee peaceful Le,
Think of Him.”
111.
But there was sti.l another difficulty
with Elijah. First, he was alone. In
verse 3 wc read that he left his servant
at Beersheb' 1 , and he himself went into
the wilderness. It is a great mistake to
be alone when trouble comes. “Bear ye
one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the
law of Cod,” gives us a picture of human
fellowship, while the verse, “lake my
yoke upon you and learn of Me,” gives us
an idea of that fellowship which we may
have with Him.
John McNeill, the great Scotch preacher,
has a fine illustration of this point in his
cermon based upon I Samuel, the 27th
chapter and the’first verse, “And David
said in his heart, I shall now perish one
day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing
better for rue than that L should speedily
escape into the land of the Philistines,
and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me
any more in any coast of Israel; so shall J
escape out of his band.” “David said it

ais heart,” and John McNeill says it
would have been well if instead of saying
it in his heart he would have said it out
loud. It is the thing we say in our heart
that grows to such great proportion and
leads Us to beli eve that we are on the
Verge of despair. Without question thft
passage,is trite; ilnu Air. McNeill fidggtsta

First—Why didn’t David say it ftlouq
to his servant and Jcjt his servant argue
hjn\ out of his pooior., fbr there lire many
tilings we think we would never dare t®
sav to our dearest friends.
Second—Why didn’t David pray it. He
was a master in prayer, and if he had but
fallen on his knees and said it to God. at
lefts!,hape tried to roy it, hit would Hftvfi
found .that h' very tongue would have
cleaved tip the roof of his mouth, for there
are things wc think that we would blush
if we dared to say them to God.
Third—Why didn’t he sing it. He wa
much of a singer, was David, and it he had
hut put it in a song h-s face would have
grown hot. and he would have ended with
staminoripg and stumbling; end then said
Mr. McNeill '•'Why ffiity we itttt.fallfiw

Fourth—He sat down. That was a great

in the church to-day who have done just
exactly what Kliiaß did, Thev hnve ftftt

day-school class is now doing nothing and
fast s'inniug awav from Christ. The mem
ber of the church who used to be faithful
at the nrayer meeting is now absent and .
sitting down in h-s hom rt he is of all men
most misernh’p. That man who was once
in the church and loved the church has
sat down in the world 1 and he questions
if he oyer knew Christ, so let, Us keep
going. Tt is when a mad Is idle that Satan

a good thing that Ood did not.take hijn at

Tilings That the World Needs.
There arc many things that the world
needs, and there is much work to be
done in many directions; but most of all
does the world need God, most of all
docs it need righteousness, faith, hope
and love! The world needs better con
ditions for its poor and wretched, better
tenements in which to house them; but
it needs also better lives for the tene
ments when built. It needs better oppor
tunities for its teeming multitudes; but
it needs also clearer vision to see the op
portunities and stronger wills to grasp
them. The world needs scientific knowl
edge, but it needs religious emotion as
well. It needs its thunderous industries,
but it needs the sense of kinship to God.
It needs its practical ideals; hut it needs
supremely the vision of the Highest. “As
the heart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after Thee. O God!
My soul tairsteth for God. for the Living
God!” From Him we came, and we are
disouieted until we rest in His bosom —
until we feel the ocean of His love flowing
about cur imperfections swallowed up in
Hb perfection, and our restlessness melt
ing into His everlasting peace.—ltev. Mr.

A Child Messenger oT God.
rT ’he ctill form of a little hov lay in a
coffin surrounded by mourning friends. A
mason came into the room and asked to
look at the lovely face. “You wonder
that I care so much,” he said, as the
tears rolled down hb cheeks, “hut your
boy was a messenger of God to me. One
time I was coming down by a long ladder
from a very high roof and found your
j little boy close behind me when l
I reached ihe ground. He looked up into
I my face with a childish wonder and
• asked frankly, “Weren’t you afraid of fall
| ing when you were up so high?” and,
before I had time to answer, he said:
1 ‘Ah! I know why you were not afraid—
you had said your prayers this morning
| before you wrtit to work.’ I had not
prayed, but I never forgot to pray from
, that day to this, and by God s blessing
1 never will.”
The Reward of Praj-er.
True prayer never fails fo bring its
reward. Prayer consists of supplication
and thanksgiving. Petition is but an in
cident of prayer, and it may well be
doubted whether that which consists of
petition alone is true prayer. Prayer is
i communion with God. Spending a large
Cortion of time in company with God, we
ecome more and more like God. Inti
j mate relations art established between
| our Heavenly Fatuer and the man of
j prayer.
Three Gifts to Mail.
God has given three gifts to man, faith,
hope, love. Without faith there could
! be no trust in anyone; without hope, life
j wr.ild be darkness, and without love it
j would he a living death. The three are
in daily exercise toward men. Their
highest exercise is godward.
