DELIGHT IN THE LOUD.
Mon’s Mistakes in Judging and
Condemning.
Many Would Forget God, While Other*
Dread and Dislike Him Wliat
It Is to Delight in th«
Almighty.
fFrom a Keren! Lennon by Rev. Charles Ti.
Spurgeon. 1
'* For then shalt thou have thy delight in
the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy taco unto
God.”— Job 22: 26.
THE MISTAKE OF ELIPHAZ.
1 Elipbaz and his friends had judged Job
from their own poiut of view, making
their own experience to be tho standard.
They themselves had prospered, and
therefore they inferred that if a man
ttrved God ho must necessarily prosper in
worldly things; and that if ho did not
succeed as they had done, he must have
been guilty of great crimes. Though they
could not discover any actual fault in Job,
they concluded, without further evidence,
that he must have been a hypocrite, and
have acted oppressively to his servants,
or have been unmindful of the claims of
the poor, or in some other way have
brought upon himself the wrath of God.
It never entered their mind that so terri
ble a sickness and such a list of dreadful
calamities could have befallen any man
except as a punishment for special sin.
They inferred virtue from prosperity,
and sin from adversity. Unrighteous
and cruel logic! Atonca false and brutal!
It renders them at once false wit
nesses and Pharisees; condemning the
innocent because of their sorrows, and
flattering themselves because of their ease.
To judge according to outward circum
stances has beeu the tendency of men in
all times; even David could not under
stand how it was that the wicked were so
free from troubles, while all the day long
he was himself plagued, and chastened
every morning. A right principle lay at
tho bottom of this wonder; for, indeed,
the Lord will reward tho good and punish
the wicked; but a great mistake is made
when we suppose that this life is the time
for meting out rewards and punishments.
We must not judge according to the sight
of the eyes, or according to present condi
tions, or we shall make gross mistakes.
The richest may be the most wicked, and
the poorest may be tho most gracious;
those who suffer least may deserve to
suffer most, ami those who are most afflict
ed in this life may havo the highest glory
in the life to come.
I suspect that Eliplmz and his friends
bad enjoyed smooth sailing. How should
they judge the man who had done business
amid tempests? Their mental life was not
disturbed by great conflicts; they had not
gone deeply into things, nor searched to
tho bottom of spiritual matters; they had
no knowledge of their own hidden corrup
tions, and had endured but little of the rod
of chastisement, and, consequently, they
had been at ease. Their mistake was that
they sat iu judgment upon another who
was more tried than themselves, and con
demned him for being in sore distress.
Their own serenity led them to judge the
troubled one very harshly. This ought
not to bo. If any of ns are inclined thus to
judge and condemn, it is time that we put
this mischievous spirit far from us. If we
Judge others, others will judge us. God’s
children always play the fool when they
play tbo judge; they aro never in order
when they act as if they were the head of
the family of grace. The Father knows
all Ills children. All who observe careful
ly will also know that while some are
strong in the Lord and in the power
of His might, others are weak iu faith
and mere babes in grace. Theso little
ones aro not one jot th* less precious in the
sight of the great Father than the more
fully grown ones. Let none of tho strong
cattle push the weak cattle with horn and
with shoulder; for when the weak ones
complain unto God Ho will regard them,
and will avorago them upoD the proud. If
thou be strong, God keep thee so, and
make thee stronger; but use not thy
strength for treading down the weak. If
tbou be weak, tho Lord strengthen thoe
and deliver thee from this malady; but do
not envy the strong, and begin to speak
lightly of those who excel thee. The more
of light, the more of joy, tho more of holy
confidence, the more of faith, the more
glory to God: therefore covet these things
earnestly as among the best gifts. May
the Holy Ghost help us to attain the
highest degree of grace; but may Ho ever
prevent us from judging our brethren.
Hero was the fault of Elipbaz. He was
right in many of his statements, but he
was wrong in his ungenerous application
of them to holy Job.
Many men forget God: He is no object
of delight to them, for they ignore His ex
istence, and they would even think it a
great relief if it could be proved that there
we-e no God—no God to observe them, no
God to record their misdeeds, no God to
call them to judgment, no God to punish
them for their iniquities. Let us pity the
multitudes who claim to be happy without
God; for it is tho last extreme of deprav
ity when, blotting out God from his soul, a
man obtains a wretched comfort as the
consequence of his folly. To bo without
God is to be without rest in the present
and without hope for the future.
Great numbers of men go a stage further:
they believe in God, they can not doubt
that there is a Most High God who judgeth
the children of men; but their only thought
towards Him is that of dread and dislike.
They do not want to hoar of him: if the
things of God are forced upon their atten
tion they are soon weary of such distaste
ful themes, for they only look upon God as
ajustand terrible Judge, who will cer
tainly punish them for their transgres
sions. It is woo to them even to think of
the great God. Though this dread of God,
and this neglect of God, can not deliver
them out of His hands, yet they find a
kind of comfort in it. As we are told of
the ostrich—l know not whether it be true
or not—that when it can not escape the
hunter it buries its head in the sand so ns
not to see its pursuer: so these foolish per
sons blind their own eyes, and thus pro
duce a foolish security of heart. They
think of God with dread, dismay, despond
ency and despair. I am grieved to add
that this principle even tinctures the
thoughts of true friends of God: for
when they bow down befofe God it
is not with the reverence of a loving child,
but with the tern r of a slave; they
wo afraid of Him who should be their ex
ceeding joy. Their view of God is incor
rect, for it is not such as the Spirit of
adoption would give them. They are
really trusting in Him and in the great
♦opitiation which He has aet forth, but
they have not come to know Him under
that blessed term which our Saviour puts
into our mouths when He bids us say:
“Our Father which art in Heaven.” Such
trembling oues are still under the spirit of
bondage, which causes them to fear, as
condemned persons dread the executioner.
They stand like Israel trembling at the foot
of Sinai; they have not come unto Mount
Zion and the blood of sprinkling, which
spoakoth better things than that of Abel.
God is still to them exceeding terrible, so
that they fear and quake. Even though
they are His ch ildren, they are notable to
lift up their faces uuto their own Father.
They haunt the outer courts of the sanct
uary, but into the most holy place they
do not dare to enter: they see the smoke of
the burnt-offering, but they have not
learned to feed upon it,and so to havo happy
communion with God. These people may
be safe, but tho\ r are not happy: they may
be saved from sin, blit not from sorrow.
Faith, if it were stronger, would effectual
ly slay and bury servile fear.
WHAT IT IS TO DELIGHT IN GOD.
Let us meditate a while upon what is
here*meant by delighting in the Almighty.
The man who experiences this delight is
glad that there is a God. That atheistic
philosophy which makes the whole world
to be a chance production which grew of
itself, or developed itself by some innate
force, is a very dreary pioee of fiction to
the man who delights himself in the Al
mighty. I tremble at any teaching, re
ligious or scientific, which seems to place
God further off than we have believed Him
to be. To draw Him nearer to me, and
myself nearer to Him, is the Innermost
longing of my soul. Do you not feel the
same? I know you do if you have a child
like spirit towards Him. We delight to see
God in the shadow of every passing cloud,
in the coloring of every opening flower, iu
the glitter of every dewdrop, in tho twink
ling of every star. Tho Lord is personally
at work in all the processes of nature, and
natural laws are simply the Lord’s usual
method of operation. Our God is so near
us that in Him we live, and move, and
have our being. Beloved, the thought of
God is to the souls of those who know and
love Him the most delightful that can cross
the mind. To put God away from us is
injury to our happiness, as well as trea
son to our duty:'but to get nearer and
clearer views of His omnipresence, His
omniscience, His omnipotence, i 8 to in
crease the joy of our hoart.
Practically put, this delight in the Al
mighty shows itself in the Christian when
nothing else remains to him. If he be
stripped of everything, he cries: “The
Lord is my portion.” When the cupboard
is bare, and the garments aro worn out,
and poverty stares the man in the face, he
says: “My God is such a satisfactory and
all-sufficient portion that I am rich and
increased iu goods while possessing noth
ing but my God.” The same is true when
such a man is surround d with every
earthly comfort, for ho still feels: “The
Lord is my portion.” The saint begs
vehemently of his God that he may not
have his portion in this life. If God were
to multiply his stores beyond his power to
count them, he would bo dissatisfied unless
in all these he saw his Father’s covenant
love. One saint, who suddenly became
poor, was still as happy as ever, for ho
said: “When I had abundance, I saw God
iu all things, and now that I have lost my
property I see all things in GoJ.” These
are equally blessed •abates of mind. It
were well to combine them, and see God in
all things, and all things in God, at the
same time! So it should bo with tho be
liever. “Why,” saitli ho, “theso earthly
comforts never we.o my delights;
these were not my daily manna, but only
little stav-bys for the time; sips of sweet
ness while 1 jmss through tho barren
wilderness.” The Lord was and 13 my
chief portion, my well of comfort, the rock
of my salvation. If we make props of our
outward joys, we shall fall when they are
taken away; but if we rest wholly, upon
the foundation of Diviuo love, altogether
apart from external things, we shall never
be moved. Happy is Die Christian who
can practically enjoy delight in the Al
mighty by making Him to bo his all iu all,
all tbo day, and every day.
“Delight thyself in the Lord.” This will
give you pleasure in the midst of pain. Do
you know what it is to have many aches
and sufferings, and perhaps a throbbing
head, and yet to feel that you have anoth
er self which has no pains, because it
dwells in God, where all is calm and quiet?
You felt that it would be a great mercy to
be released from this painful life; and yet
you have not raised the question with your
God, but have waited His good pleasure.
Faith has made you foel: “Wherever I
am, whatever I feel, so long as God is near
me, and His sweet love fills my bosom, I
will greatly rejoice and triumph in the God
of my salvation.”
This will show itself in your life, for it
will bo a ploasure to do anything to exalt
the name of God. It will gild your ordi
nary conversation with Heavenly splen
dor, if in it you adorn the doctrine of God
your Saviour in all things. You will march
to Heaven beneath the spell of celestial
music, and the bliss of the glorifled will
stimulate your spirits, when you can feel
that all is for God, and. that God is all in
all to you. This is to delight yourself in
the Almighty. God give us to get into that
state, and to keep there till we leap to
Heaven, aud are in that state.
THE NAME ALMIGHTY.
I call your attention to the special name
by which Elipliaz describes Die ever
blessed God; he says: “Delight thyself in
the Almighty.” Is it not singular4RKat he
should choose a term descriptive of om
nipotence as the paramount cause of the
believer’s delight? God is love, and I can
readily understand how one might delight
himself in God under that aspect; but the
believer is taught lo delight himself iu
God as strong and mighty. What a mercy
it is that there is a power that makes for
righteousness!—that at the back of all
theso wars and confusions, and behiud ah
sin and false doctrine, there is an infimte
ly powerful God! During the last few
weeks you have felt an intense joy in the
omnipotence of God. You have whispered
to your forebodings: “It is all right. The
Almighty is not paralyzed, His arm is not
shortened, the Lord reignolh.’’ Brethren,
the pendulum swings to and fro, advanc
ing and retroating, but yet there is a real
progress made; you can not see it by
watching the pendulum; but up higher ou
the face of the clock there is evidence of
an onward march and of a coming hour.
The Kingdom of God is comin ;; righteous
ness shall prevail. Delight also in the fact
that Jehovah is almighty in mercy—mighty
to save. He can forgivo the greatest sin;
He can change the hardest heart: He can
help us to fight out unto victory the stern
est of our battles against umightec usness;
He is stronger than sin and Satan; for all
power dwells with him. Surely, when
you see omnipotence linked with right
eousness ami mercy, you will delight your*,
self in the Almighty.
Think of the Lord’s almightiness in the
matter of the keeping, preserving, defend
ing and perfecting of all His oeople. The
sheep of His pasture shall not perish; fa?
the good Shepherd is omnipotent to smite
the roaring lion who would devour them.
None that trust in Him shall ever be
ashamed or confounded, world without
end.
THE UPLIFTED FACB.
Now, let us turn with intense satisfac
tion to the other expression used by Eli
pliaz: “Thou shalt lift up thy face unto
God.” What does it moan? Does it not
mean, firs , joy in God? When a man
hangs his head down he is unhappy; it is
the attitude of misery; but oh, when our
thoughts of God are changed, and our rela
tionship to God is different, we lift up our
faces and sun our countenances in the light
of God’s favor. The face of God in His
Anointed is toward the believer, and there
fore the believer’s face is toward the Most
High. He hath said: “Seek ye my face,”
and how can we seek His face but with our
own faces? “Look uuto Me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth,” is the
divine cal!; and the believer looks to God
with intense joy, knowing that in Him is
his salvation.
Does not our text indicate fearlessness?
Fear covers her face, and would fain hide
herself altogether, even though to accom
plish concealment the rocks must fall upon
her. That sacred bravery which the Holy
Spirit breathes into the child of God makes
him cry: “Abba, Father,” and in the spirit
of adoption he lifts up his face uuto God.
May it not also signify expectation? “I
will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh my help.’’ “My expecta
tion is from him,” says David. Oh, to lift
one’s face toward God, looking for deliver
ance, safety aud rest, and expecting both
grace and glory from his right hand 1
Brethren, I am talking very simply of
things well known to me, anil yet I can not
convey to you a sense of the joy of a face
uplifted uuto God. You must feel it for
yourselves, by liftiug up your own faces.
Some of you poor creatures can not lift up
j r our faces unto God by reason of despond
ency; but we pray that you may yet do
so. As for you who are God’s own people,
and yet go through the world in bondage
I charge you, cry uuto the Lord to change
your condition, and fill you with His joy,
for then your faces will shine in the light
of His face.
When you delight in the Lord, nothing
can disturb the unbroken current of your
joy! The sublime Serenity of the heaven*
which arch above your head enters into
your own spirit when tbe Lord who mud*
the heavens dwells in your heart. Strive
after this sacred peace: delight in the Al
mighty, and lift up your faces unto UcA
TEMPTATION.
How It May lie Met and Successfully Rs
sisted.
I Sun day-School Thnes.l
The serpent has found its way into ah
tbe Edens of this world. Never, until tht
mortal puts on immortality, does it put oil
finally the possibility of sinning. Nowhere
can a man go that temptation will nip;
find him. Temptation possesses a free pasu*
o.i all the railroads, a free berth on all th
boats, a free entrance to school-rooms, au>»
business offices, and playgrounds— and
even to the churches. Little escape, for
example, does the reforming drunkard
find in boarding tbe express train that,
with every moment, puts another mile
between himself and his old saloon haunts.
Old evil associations he indeed leave*
behind, but not tho old evil thirst, the old
fierce temptation. That shares his seat ii
the train, his state-room on the boat ant
halts only when he halts. Temptation
finds the hermit in his ascetic retirement
as readily as though he mingled with tho
crowd. Temptation climbs the high and
bare and guafced wall of the convent a.i
th.' latticed arbor of the pleasure
seeker. Temptation pays no heed to warn
ings of “no admittance,” be such warnings
moral, legal or ecclesiastical. Tempta
tion’s very power for evil is in tßis con
stant presence which leaves not an un
guarded moment or movement of the soul
unnoticed. Then what? Then we must be
vigilant. If temptation insists, we must
resist, and must persist in dating. If
the evil is watchful in we must bs
watchful in defense. And, above fil, if
temptation tempts us with that subtfjst of
temptations—discouragement in the I,Tug
gle—let us lean hard on tha |Diviue prom
ise that our temptations will never be be
yond what we are able to bear. Gol’s
help would havo made Canaan the Land
of Rest to the Israelites if they had had
faith, even while they found it a land of
conflicts. God's love will give us rest
amidst our inevitable struggles—if we will
rest upon that love.
Sinful Lamenting;.
(Sunday School Times.!
No man to whom is grauted the full illu
mination of the sunlight need lament if,
during the bright day, his means or hiu
circumstances forbid him the added light
of a candle. Possessing the light of tho
sun, he possesses all the light that ho
needs. There is comfort in this though i
for those who, rich toward God, are rich
in no other sense. Perhaps the light
of a desired knowledge, or of a fuller ex
perience, is denied to them; and perhaps
tho lack is to them a cause of constant
self-torturing. This self-torment is sin
ful as well as foolish. God withholds
no light that He does not with
hold wisely. And when Ho has given
the full sunlight of Christian truth, is it
right—is it grateful—to spend one’s days !
lamenting the lack of a minor light whose
beams seem darkness itself in contrast
with the strong shining of the sun?
Experience.
rExchang-e.l ,
It is a popular maxim that experience i*
the best teacher. This is true —and false
Did you ever know a moth that had been
singed by the flame fail to dash directly
to the flame the moment that it could use
its wings again? How large a proportion
of those who have learned by bitter per
sonal experience what the vice of drunken
ness (or any otner vice) is, cur us from that
sin on account of that experience? There
are, in fact, many teachers concerning evil
better than experience of evil. Tbe warn
ings of a father, the gentle leadings of a
mother, the holy precepts of a Sunday
school teacher, if heeded, are better far
than the lessons of experience, in the di
rection of those warnings; for these teach
through defending and preserving, whilst
experience teaches too often through lot
aud destruction.
BARTHOLDI’S BIG GIRL.
The Prejudices Met By a Canvasser for the
Pedestal Fund.
The Bartholdi pedestal fund is nearly
complete. The statue has arrived and
soon New York harbor will bo graced
by the most magnificent colossal
statue tho world has ever seen.
Liberty Enlightening the World!”
What a priceless blessing personal liberty
is. It is the shrine at which people, ground
under the heel of tyranny in the older
worlds, worship with a fervency that
Americans can scarcely realize; it is a
principle for which .Nihilists willingly die
the death of dogs; and fit and proper it is
that at the very entrance of the Bay of
New York this emblematic statue should
flash a welcome to the world.
The press is entitled to the credit of this
achievement. Mr. Philip Beers, who has
been making a circuit of the country on
behalf of the Pedestal fund, says that the
fund will certainly be raised, as the World
does not know the word fail.
Mr. Beers says that he has found the
most pronounced generosity among those
of foreign birth. They seem more appreci
ative of liberty than do our native born.
Moreover, among some a strange prejudice
seems to exist.
“Prejudice? In what particular?”
“1 have ever found that however merito
rious a thing may be, thousands of people
will inevitably be prejudiced against it. I
have spent most of my life on the road and
I know the American people ‘like a book,’
In 1879 a personal misfortune illustrated
this prevailing prejudiae. I was very
ill, had suffered for several years
with headache, fickle appetite, dread
ful back ache, cramps, hot head, cold
hands and feet and a general break down
of the system. I dragged myself back to
New York, seeking tbe best professional
treatment. It so happens that among my
relatives is a distinguished physician who
upbraided mo roundly for preaching
so much about my own case. Finally,
with some spirit, I remarked to him:
“ ‘Sir, you know that much of your pro
fessional wisdom is pretense. You are
controlled by prejudice. You can not
reach a case like mine and you know it,
can yop?’ ”
“I had him; and he finally conceded the
point, for it was bright’s disease of the
kidneys which had prostrated me, and the
schoolmen admit they can not cure it.
Having cured myself, however, in 1879,
and not having seen a sick day since, my
relative finally admitted that Warner’s
safe cure, which accomplished this result,
was really a wonderful preparation. Had
President Rutter, of the Central Hudson,
used it, I am certain that he would be alive
to-day? for he could not have been in a
worse condition than I was.”
“ I have found similar prejudices among
all classes concerning even so laudable a
scheme as this pedestal fund.”
Mr. Beers’s experience and the recent
neAtk <vf President Rutter, of the Central-
Hudsen railroad, of an extreme kidney
disorder, proves that the physicians have
no real power over such diseases, and in
dicates the only course one should pursue
is, as the late Dr. Willard Parker says,
headache, sickness of the stomach, dropsi
cal swellings, back aohe,ilarkand offensive
fluids, prematurely impaired eyesight,loss
of strength and energy occur, for they un
mistakably indicate a fatal result, if not
promptly urrested.
“Yes, sir-ee, every cent needed for the
pedestal will be raised. Of course it will
be a great triumph for the World, but
would it not have been an eternal disgrace
had our people failed to provide for this
pedestal?”
A Large Vessel.
The largest sailing ship but one ever
built in America is nearing completion
iu Camden, Me. She is 26:3 feet keel, 285
feet over all, and 45 feet beam, with 28$
feet total depth of hold, 8$ feet of this
being ’tween decks. These dimensions
indicate that she will measure over 2,600
tons, net register. A good idea of the
vessel’s size and of the spread she will
carry may be had from the fact that it is
185 feet from the deck to the main truck,
while her lower yards are about 90 feet
long. The ship is built on the owners’
account, but they are negotiating with a
man who will probably become one
fourth owner and master, and as to her
name—they have a scheme for naming
vessels nowadays which kills two birds
with one stone. Some wealthy man is
invited to take up a part of the vessel,
generally a sixteenth, eighth or quarter,
and tho vessel named after him. Carle
ton, Norwood & Co., the builders, have
constructed fifty-four vessels since 1854.

the cop.
“That sort of thing will never do.
Discipline must be preserved. Hereaf

Cuban Brutality.
A lady writing from Cuba says that
mercy to dumb brutes is unknown on
the island. Tho horses and oxen are
poor, half-dead things. How could
it be otherwise in a community where
the very highest class can exact happi
ness from a bull-tight? Spanish ladies
wave their parasols or handkerchiefs
with wild delight when a poor dumb
brute without weapons aud without any
sin on its life must suffer torture from
the weapons invented by man. Cuba
has not yet learned that a man is not
only a possible angel but a possible devil.
Thus a brute may become a man’s su
perior. What a good thing if a Spanish
bull or cab-horse could carry a pistol for
self-defense! The Spanish bull-tight
recalls the the saying of a Pagan:
“Death of brutes may be a necessity, it
never can be a pleasure.”— Current.
Every Woman Knows Them.
The human body is much like a good
clack or watch in its movements; if one
goes too slow or too fast, so follow all the
others, aud bad time results; if one organ
or set of organs works imperfectly, per
version of functional effort of all the or
gans is sure to follow. Hence it is that the
numerous ailments which make woman’s
life miserable are the direct issue of the
abnormal action of the uterine system. For
all that numerous class of symptoms —
and every woman knows them —there is
one unfailing remedy, Dr. Pierce’s “Favor
ite Prescription,” tho favorite of the sex.

Gen. BenJ. F. Butler, says: “It is the most timely
hook that lias been published, and as a piece of bookj
making its execution is very remarkable. He a 180
sent the book to'’resident Arthur to be read, and In*
letter accompanying, said: “1 think it will do th*
same service to the country in regard to the misuse of
our Land System that ’Uncle Torn s Cabin did witu
regard to slavery. ’ . (nl
Hon. B. F. Shively, of Indiana, says: “It i? im

“The author writes to correct great wrongs ans
fortifies his statements by facts within the knowledge
of intelligent readers. Since the day that Mrs. SUowo
wrote the doom of the slave-driver In ‘Uncle Tom B
Cabin' uo more vigorous blow has been struck iu favor
of the rights of the laborer.” — ChicciQ) Inter Ocean*
