SUNDAY MORNING.
A SERMON FOR SUNDAY
AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED
“A GREAT VICTORY.”
The Bct. J, Wilbur Chapman Preaches
Upon the Soul's Deep Longing After
r God—Faith Will Conquer in the End
/ —God is Our Strength and Life.
, New York City.— The Rev. Dr. J. Wil
bur Chapman has furnished to the press a
xnost striking and popular sermon which
is intended for all those who would rise to
better things. It is entitled “A Great
•victory, and is preached from the texts:
As the hart panteth after the water
crooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O
kod.” Psalm 42: 1. “Hope in God, for T
shall yet praise Him who is the health of
iny countenance.” Psalm 43: 5.
The first verse is a lamentation in the
wilderness, the second is a shout of re
joicing when victory is won. The terri
toif stretching out from the wilderness in
the one text to the presence of God in the
other is not only the story of the expe
rience of David, out of the most of ChrU
tians. My message last week was to those
who occasionally fall under juniper trees
and ivar.t to <hc; ho? it is to all who
.would rise to Letter thine?,
r The Psalms are divided into five books,
and the ancient Rabbins say in these five
books in the Psalter we have the image of
the five books of t-he law. or in other
a kind of a second pentatench, the
echo of the first. In the first God speaks
and in the second the voice of the people
is heard. God presents with ttie
law, and grateful Israel resends with a
shout of praise. These two Psalms form
-the firil division of the second book.
They ahe dedicated towho master mu>i
ejans or the £CT3 of flotab. They were
the celeb.ated musicians and singers of
the day; they were in David's time the
keepers of the threshold of the tabernacle,
and still earlier in the time of Moses they
were -watchmen at the entrance of the
camp of the Levites; they were a part of
that band that acknowledged David as
leader at Ziklug; they were warriors with
faces like lions, and who for speed were
like gazelles on the mountains.
Mr. Spurgeon says that although David
is not mentioned as the author of these
psalms they must be his, for the truth is
eo him. It has the character of his
style and the work of his experience in
every letter. 1 had sooner question the
authorship of Runyan’s second part of the
“Pilgrim’s Progress” than to question Da
vid's right to these psalms. Whoever
wrote them has given a name to the soul’s
deep longing after God and made a sigh a
melodious thing.
There are three divisions in the psalm,
each closing with the refrain, “Why art
thou cast down, O my soul?” The whole
psalm is the picture of a soul climbing
Godward, not without backward slips,
but climbing nevertheless, until the sigh
of the first text gives way to the shout of
the second. Perhaps the singer during his
exile on the eastern side of .lordan had
seen some gentle creature with open mouth
and heaving flanks eagerlv seeking water
in the dry river bed, and be saw in this a
picture of liimsolf. The whole psalm is
like what we lrive seen on some early
spring day. when the sun was warm, the
skv blue, the trees ready to burst into bud
and the birds were singing, but only for
a day, then the clouds returned, the at
mosphere was chilled, the birds are all
stilled and the sun was under a cloud.
nViewed in one way it is a psalm of gloom,
in another way it is a psalm of glory.
Streaks of biightncßH are ever Hashing
•through the gloom. First there is a sigh
as of a breaking heart, then conies a word
of hope like a rainbow spanning the water
fall; once again the contending enemies
meet as in verses 0 and 10. but finally
above it all comes the refrain without a
complaint, “I shall yet praise Him who is
the health of my countenance.”
There are certain expressions most strik
ing in the psalm. Three times docs David
say “Why art thou cast down, O my
60111?” as tbotfgh he were two men. The
psalmist talks to himself. John Trapp
says it is David chiding David out of the
dumps. To search for the cause of sorrow
is often the best surgery for grief. In
verse 8 notice the words. '‘The Lord will
command llis loving kindness in the day
time.” No day has ever dawned in which
an heir of grace could be utterly forsaken.
In the same verse we read “hi the night
His song shall be with me.” Affliction
may put out. our light at times, but if it
does not silence our song the light will
come again. Verse 3. psalm 42, “Send out
Thy light and truth.” These are like an
gels to guide him to the object of his af
fections. hut finally above all sounds the
note of victory. “Hope thou in God.” This
is like the singing of Paul and Silas, it
looses chains, shakes the prison walls and
sets the prisoner free. Two graces men
tioned in this psalm were used frequently
by Christ, hope and faith. Faith tells ns
what Christ has done: hope tells us what
He will do. and hope is like the sun as wo
journey toward )t; our burden is cast
pack of us. Faith may have many a
f'truggle with fear, but it. will conquer in
the end. These two psalms arc really one;
there is n constant unfolding of expe
rience and rising to a higher appreciation
of God. and as faith acquires more strength
you will notice that not only David but
ourselves come to think of God in a differ
ent way and address Him in more endear
ing terms. There ia no better illustration
of this than these two psalms.
!■ i.
1 “O God.” Debarred from public wor
ship David is heart sick. He is not seek
ing ease, he needs God. lie is not alter
comfort, but like & traveler whose water
bottle is empty and who finds the well
dry, so he must have God cr he will faint.
When it is as natural for us to long for
God as for an animal to thirst, it is well
with our souls. "O God,” we hear him
paying. It is as if he can scarcely breathe
for th rst. He does not know just what
he is needing or just how God re
veal Himself to him, but he must have God.
All unrest or thirst or outgoing of desire
are but the reaching out of the soul after
God. We shall be satisfied only when we
find Him.
11.
“The Living God.” My soul thirsteth
for God, for the living God. This :i
advance upon the first expression, and this
is Jehovah’s name of power. Ancient
Israel was accustomed to use it before
every victory, since it is higher than “O
God!” In the first cry we naturally find
it followed with a shout, of victory. “1
shall yet praise Him.” Hunger and thir-t
are God’s instruments to call us to Him
self. When the prodigal was an hun
gered he said. *T will arise.” it i:> a pic
ture of one who has tried other things in
tho world, pleasure, wealth, and
then cries out, “O for the living God.
But thirst is better than hunger; you may
pa-liate hunger, but thirst is? a perpetual
appetite. The next best thing to being m
the light of God’s love is to be unhappy
until you have it. He is the living God
because He has life in Himself and because
He bestows that life to others.
, in.
; “0 mv Goil.” Appropriation comes
next, and once it is taken it is never
dropped. He says. "God of mj- nte, and
God mv rock.” there are five ‘nip m
the forty-third psaim. "my cause, my
strength.” “my joy,’ “mv son., my
God. You n. ver real.y appreciate God
until vou begin to apply Him to your lire,
and He will be to you just what you wish.
He is like a looked cesket Piled with jew
els. You mav have such a casket in your
possession. Only the key unlocking it
can reveal to vou the preciousness of j our
possession. This possessive pronoun is the
icev ia this case, “my God, and when
once yen have gaasped it nothing can
stand agaitist you. David speaks of Jor
dan, the Hermonites and Mizar. At Jor
dan th* water rolled back on the iler-
monites. the kings were defeated near to
Mizar, the law was given, and he may
have meant to say difficulties as great as
Jordan, enemies as strong as the kings,
none of these things shall move me, He is
my God; or it may mean that since these j
places are farthest from the tabernacle |
David is saying, “What if I am afar off,
no trial can be too severe for me.”
IV.
“God of my life.” This is further on in
the line of truth. You will notice that
the two preceding expressions are thus put
together. One who is learning of God is
like a child learning his alphabet. He
knows his letters, but who is there that
knows all the words into which the letters
may bo shaped, and who has read all the
books which they can make up. It is so
with God. lie is the God of my life. What
if I am forsaken. He is my Father; what
if I am comfortless. He is like my mother;
what if I am cast down. lie is my re
storer; what if 1 am hopeless and undone,
He is mv hone.
V.
“God mv rock.” David was a fugitive '
and had little means of defense. He is
continually pursued bv his enemies, and
since the country is full of mountains and
caves of refuge are on every side of him
they become to him the picture of God.
He calls Him my rock. The names of God
are suited to every circumstance in life.
Nothing is more fitting for us than to cet
hold of this expression of David's. You
will be tempted on every side, the enemy
is too strong for you, but literally David’s
expression is. “God is my cliff.” That is.
He rises above the tilings of this world,
and He wants His children to understand
tHat wherever there is a heart big with
sorrow, wherever there is an eye filled
with tears or a lip quivering with agony
His ear is wide open to all their cries.
He marks down every necessity in His
j memory; He will not forsake His own.
vi.
“God my strength. ’ This means my
strength belongs to God. and 1 must use
it only for His gloiy. He is taking note of
all that I do. and one day 1 shall be called
to an account. God might if lie pleased
wrap Himself about with night as a gar
ment. He might dwell alone far above
this world, and look down with indiffer
ence upon the doings of II is creatures.
We might look up into the heavens and
behold the stars and say. “I am nothing
compared with these, and God does not
cage 4 or me.” but not so. He notices
every one of ws. He knows our names,
has numbered the hairs of our head, ami
not a sparrow falls to the ground except
beneath the gaze of llis eye. Whatever
we do or bear or suffer the eye of God is
upon us.
One of the most interesting pictures in
the. Jxmvre is that of Christ with eyes so
wonderful that walk which wav you will
the gaze is upon you. and so God is the
God of my strength and one day 1 must
answer to Him for it.
VII.
“God. my exceeding joy.” This includes
all that has gone before, and it exceeds all
others-, first, in its nature, for it is not
happiness, that depends unon circum
stances. It is joy of which David speaks
which may he ours, though the night is
upon us and the burden is really too heavy
for us to bear. It exceeds all others in its
duration, for it never ends. This can be
said of no other experience, all others have
their boundaries, hut this is an illimitable
sen reaching beyond the bonds of time and
lasting through eternity. “O God.” this
is a soul's cry, “the living God.” no one
else can satisfy. “My God.” He is mine,
and nothing can separate me from Him.
“God of my life ” He -will be whatever f
long to have Him be. “God my rock.”
He is mv defense in every time of need.
“God my strength.” All that I have is
His. “God. my exceeding joy.” He is be
yond all that the world can give, and
when that joy fills the soul earth is
changed to heaven.
Cave Cp All Tor Christ.
There is a most impressive story related
of the conversion ol an old lady of seventy
years, in a little town in Western China
through the. instrumentality of a Bible
woman. One market day, as she was sell
ing her v“s she heard a Bible woman
talking about a God who loved and eared
for people of every race and land. Becom
ing rnlicit interested in this message the
old lady began attending the Sunday serv
ices conducted by the missionaries, walk
ing four miles each way in order to do it.
At last she was converted to Christ, a
step which meant much to her, for in sur
rendering herself to the Master she must
give up her idol worship, which she real
ized fully would bring upon her persecu
tion and hatred.
After destroying all of her idolatrous
pictures on the walls and her many other
idols chore yet remained in the centre
room of her house a tablet to “Heaven
and Earth,” which she dared not touch,
for it belonged partly to a nephew whom
sir' feared to offend.
One night she had a wondeful dream.
She thought she saw .1 cs.uk Christ coming
across the valley to her house, and she
cried our, “Saviour of the people, 1 am a
sinner; come arid save me. ’ But though
He drew near Her house it was only to
look sadly in and pass sorrowfully by. On
awakening she could not forget her dream,
and every time she looked at the idola
trous tablet she felt that perhaps this was
keeping .Jesus out of her h'*usc. !S< she
determined, at whatever cost, to get rid
of it. and accordingly wrote her nephew
to that effect, and was given permission
to do with it what she felt inclined. But
this wa £ s not all. So earnest was she in
the new faith that she insisted that her
house be whitewashed throughout that the
Lord might not smell any trace of the in
cense.
Thus was born into the kingdom what
proved 1o lie one of the most devout of
Christ's followers.
A Safe Uefnge.
The day may be one of calamity. Dark
clouds mav be over u:s and a terrible storm
about to break upon us. Where shall we
find safety? The providence of God may
fill us with alarm, and v.e may iecl our
selves left destitute and helpless. Where
mav we hide our.-eives from the impending
evil? Or. while all is peace about us, while
others are rejoicing because of great good,
wc are depressed in spirit, and in trie
thought oi ourselves see only r.iu and
judgment. llow sh.tii we escape? The
7Li:t of God has given us the answer:
• God is our refuge; a help in trouble mo t
readily to be found.” He is at hand and
His ear is open to every cry of distress.
]Je is the Almighty, and within His loving
care we are sate. He is the faithful, un
changing One. and. therefore, will not for
sake us. Hasten to the open door and
to the outstretched arms of Him v/ho.-e
love infolds you, and whose arm will guard
from every harm.—United Presbyterian.
Kvery Day's Bleiiinj.
All that God gives to us day by day is,
as it were, anew creation. We never re
ceived it oefore. It never was our need
until row. We may have received some
thing like it before, but that was not this,
nor could that have filled the place of this.
Every day's blessing are to each of U3 as a
special miracle froi.* the hands of the ever
loving and the Almighty God, As John
Banyan says, “Things that we receive at
God's hand come to us a.s things from the
minting house—though old in themselves,
yet new to us.” What should we do if our
Father failed'to give us current coin of his
minting day by day?—Sunday-School Times.
Divine and Spiritual.
Our Lord speaks of things divine and
spiritual just as if He tv ere speaking of
things human and material. When danger
lias passed over joy arises, nay, even
greater joy than if the danger had never
been.—The Rev. J. J. O’Neill, R. C.,
Brooklyn, N. Y.

THE CLUMSY MAN.
You Can Never Be Sure of What His
Next Break Will Be.
The great virtue about the really
clumsy man is that, he never exhausts
his capabilities. When you think
that the bedrock is reached, there is
still a lower depth. If a detrimental
relative should exist, the clumsy man
asks after his health with great par
ticularity and will not he satisfied un
til he receives a full and detailed re
ply. Should there be any incident
in your past which everybody has
generously agreed to forget it is the
clumsy man who seizes the one, tho
inevitable opportunity, when the club
is at its fullest, and says loudly:
‘Somebody was talking the other day
about that unfortunate little affair
of yours in ‘35. Now toil me!”
When on meeting him you say casu
ally and with no desire for informa
tion, “How are you?” he insists upon
giving you a complete data, and he is
as full of small complaints as a re
fractory pauper. It is only fair to add
that he will ask affectionately after
the colds of yesteryear, and his fav
orite locale for this is at the corner
of a drafty street. He might be sub
sidized by influenza or he might get a
commission on sore throats from his
eagerness to pin you into the most
dangerous position that can be dis
covered, says the Philadelphia Ledg
er. ‘
One desires an adequate amount of
sympathy in distress, but our man al
ways goes a little beyond this point.
You are growing thin, and he says
that you are wasting away to a shad
ow. You are growing stout, and he
telis an unamusing anecdote about
apoplexy. He can be more critical
that; a hairdresser if occasion gives
the least excuse.

I have been using Ripans
Tabules for over two years
as a medicine for general
ills. 1 always keep a sup
ply on hand, and find they
come in handy for everyday
use in case of headache,
constipation or a bilious
attack.
At druggists.
The Five-Gent packet is enough for an
