Again I learn from this subject what a

could not do the work of this church if there
xvere fifty I ours a day and I toiled forty <4
them. Neither can any minister or ministers
do the work that seems opening 1 efore them.
Ministers are overworked more than any I
other cla-s of men, in my opinion, and it is ■
absurd for you to suppose tl at this xvorld is !
going to be saved by ministers. You have
the responsibility in the pew a<
well as we have it in the pul-
pit, and if men los? their souls the blood
of their souk will no more be found on my |
skirts than on yours. We want the mom
borship aroused. Oh for two or three hundred
consecrated men and wo nen in every church. |
In most of the churches all the work is
done by fifty people, or by forty, or by thirty, I
or by twenty, or by ten, or bv five, or by one
person: so that in many of the prayer meat- ;
ings o f the church it is almost impossible if
the minister be absent to keep up the ser
vices, when there ought to be so much pent I
up energy breaking forth in the service of i
God that the absence of the minister would
hardly be noticed. We want the men
are doing nothing for God to enlist. Wo
want not only the ministry, but tbo laity
xvitha new baptism of the Holy Glio t. ami ;
then it xyill be a work of but very few '
to take this whole world for God. Before
the sod shall press your evelids and mine, wo '
will decide un ler God whether our children ;
shall come up under vicious influences, or
whether they shall come up amid righteous I
and Christian surroundings.
Again I learn from this subject that we j
sometimes do well to take advantage of tho
world’s sharpening instruments. These
Israelites were reduced to a tile, and so they !
went over to tho garrison of tho Philistines (
to get their axes, and their goads, and their '
ploughs sharpened. Tho Bible distinctly I
stites it—in the text which 1 road at tho be-1
ginning of the service—that they had no
other instruments now with which to do
this work, and the Israelites did right when j
they xvent over to tho Philistines to use their
grindstones. My friends, is it not right for 1
us to employ the world's grindstones? If I
there bo art. if there bo logic, if there be
business faculty on tho other side, let us go
over and smnloy it for Christ’s sake. Tho ;
fact is, wo fight with too dull weapons and
we work with too dull implements. We
hack and we maul when we ought to make a
keen stroke. Let us go over among sharp
business men and among sharp literary men
and find out what their tact is, and then
transfer it to the cause of Christ. If they |
have t cience and art it will do us good to rub i
against it.
In other words, let us employ the world's I
grindstones. We will listen to their music i
and we will watch their acumen and w r e will |
use their grindstones; and we will borrow
their philosophical apparatus to make our
exoeriments and xve will borrow their print- !
ing presses to publish our Bibles, and we ;
will borrow their rail-trains to carry our
Christian literature, and we will borrow
their ships to trans ort our missionaries.
That was what made Paul such a master in
his day. He not only got all the !
learning he ecu <1 get from Doctor
Gamaliel, but afterwurd, standing on
Mars Hill, and in crowded thoroughfare,
quoted their poetry and grasped their logic
and wielded their eloquence and employed
t leir mythology until Dionysius the Areopa
gite, 1 arned in the schools of Athens and
Heliopolis, went down under his tremendous
powers. That was what gave Thomas Chal
mers his power in his day. He conquered
the world’s astronomy and compelled it to ring
out the wisdom aud greatness of the Lord
until for the second time, the morning stars
sang together and all the sons of God shouted
for joy. That was what gave to Jonathan
Edwards his influence in his day. He con
quered the world's metaphysics and forced it
into the service of God until not only the old
meeting-house at Northampton, Massachu
setts, but all Christendom foit thrilled by his
Christian power. Well, now, my friends, we
all have tools of Christian usefulness. Do
not let them 10-e their edges. We want no
rusty blades in this light. We want no
coulter that cannot rip up the glebe. We
want no axe that cannot fell tho trees. We
want no goad tiiat cannot start the lazy
team. Let us get the very best grindstones
we can find, tl.o.igh they be in possession of
the Philistines, < ompelling the n to turn tho
crank while we Lear down withall our might
on tbe swift revolving wheel until all our
energies and faculties shall be brought up to
a bright, keen, sharp, glittering edge.
Again, my subject teaches us on what a
small allowance Philistine iniquity puts a
man. Yes: these Philistines shut up tho
mines and then they took the spears aud tho
swords, then th y took the blacksmiths, then
they took the grindstones and they took
everything but a file. Oh, that is the way
sin works: it grabs everything. It begins
with robbery an lit ends with robbery. It
despoils this faculty and that faculty and
keeps on until tho whole nature is gone.
Was the man eloquent before, it generally
thickens his t-mgue. Was he fine in pers< nal
appearance, it marks his vbage. Was ho
ailment, it sends the sheriff to .-ell him out.
Was ho influential, it destroys his popularity.
Was he pla id and genial and loving, it n akes
him splentic and cross, and so utterly is he
changed th it you can see he is sarcastic mid
rasping, and that the Philistines have left
him nothing but a file.
Oh, •‘the way of the Iran gressor is hard.”
His <up is bitter. His night is dark. His
pangs are deep. His en lis terrific, i'hilist
tine iniquity says to that man: “Now. sur
render to me and I will give you all you
want —music for the dance, swift steeds for
the race, imperial couch to slumber on, and I
you shall be rel're hod with the rarest fruits
in baskets of golden filagree.” He lies. The i
music turns oit to be u groan. The fruits j
burst the rind with rank ] ui-on. The filagree !
is made up of twisted reptiles Iho couch is !
a grace. Small allowan eof rest; small al- ,
lowan eof peace; small allowance of corn- !
fort. Cold, hard, rough—nothing but n
file. So it was xvith Voltaire, the most ap
plauded man of his day.
‘ The Scripture was his jest book, whence he

An infidel when well, but what xvhen sick?

Paris, where he had gone to be crowned as <
the idol of all France, be sends a messenger j
to get a priest that he may be rs on iled to
the Church before ho dies. A great terror •
falls upon him. He makes the place all round j
about him so dismal that the nurse declared
that she would not for all she wealth of Eu
rope see another infidel die. Philis
tine ini juity had promised him all
the world’s garlands, but in the last hour
of his life, when he needed a sola-ing. sent
teaming across his coiw ien e an 1 his nerves
a file, a file. So it was with Lord Byron, j
His uncleanness in England o ily surpassed ’
by h s umdeanness in Venice, then going on ,
to end his brilliant mis ry at Missolonghi,
fretting at bis nurse Pletcher, fretting at
himself, f re‘ting at the world, fretting at
God: and He who gave*the worldChilde
Harold and Sardanapalus and The Pris
oner of Chi Lon and The Siege ot Corinth,
redu ed to nothing but a file. Oh. sin has a
great la ility for ma .ing promises, but it
has just as great facility tor breaking them.

Sin. like a monster wild beast f the forest,

of my hearers, and 1 them going down
day by day, and week by week, 1 must
give a plain xvarning. 1 dare not keep it
back lest 1 risk tho salvation of my own
soul. Rover ami 1 irats pulled down the

they would have a ( hauceto despoil vessels
that xvere crushed on the rocks; but one
night hi- oxvn ship crashed doxvnon this very

God de .dares: “When I say to the wicked
thou shalt surely die, and thou give<t him
not warning that *ame man shall die in his
iniquity: but his blood will I repiire at thy
hands "
I learn from this subject what a sad thing
it is xvhen tho church of God loses its metal.
These Philistines saw’that if they could only
get al! the metallic xveauons out of tho hands
of the Israelites all xvould lie well, and there
fore they took tho sxvords and tho spears.
They did not want them to have a single
metallic weapon. When the metal of the
Israelites was gone their strong® was gone.
This is tho trouble xvith the church of God
to-day. It is surrendering its courage. It
has not got euo’.igh metal. Hdw seldom it is
that you see a man taking his position in poxv
ot in pulpit or in a religious society and linki
ng that position against all oppression and
all trial and all persecution ami all criticism.
The church us God to-day wants more
backbone, more consecrate I bravery, more
metal. Hoxv oft?n you see a man start out
in some good enterprise, and at the first blast
of opposition he has collapsed and all his
courage gone, forgetting tho fact that if a
man bo right, all the opposition of the earth
pounding away at him cannot do him any
permanent damage. It is only xvhen a man
is xvr ng that he can.be damaged. Why. God
is going to vindicate His truth, and Ho is
going to stand by you, my friends, in every
effort yon make for Christ’s cause and the
salvation of men.
Go forth in the service of Christ and do
your whole duty. You have one sphere. I
have another -phero. “The lx>rd of Hosts is
with us and the God of J a ob is our refuge.
Selah. ” We want more of the determination
of Jonathan. Ido notsuppose he xvas a very
wonderful man, but he got on bis knees and
clambere I up th-’ ro k and xvith tbe help of
his armor-bearer ho hexved doxvn the Philis
tines: and a man of very ordinary intellec
tual attainments on his knees cau storm any
thing for God anti for the truth. We xvant
something of the determination of the gen
eral who xvent into the war and as he entered
his first battle his knees knocked together,
his physical courage not quite up to his
moral courage; and he looked down at his
knees and said: “Oh, if you knew where I
was going to tike you, you would shake
worse than that!”
There is only one question for you to ask
and for me to ask—what does God want mo
to do? Where is the field? Where is tho
work? Where is the anvil? Where is the
praver-meeting? Where is the pulpit.' And,
finding out what God wants us to do, go
ahead and do it—all th? energies of our »oI y,
mind and soul en.isted in the undertaking.
Oh, my brethren, we have but little time in
which to fight for God. you w.'ll be dead
soon. Put in the Christian cause every en
ergy that God gives you. “What thy
