Rj Jearn first from this subject how danger it is tor the church of God to allow its scay in the Lands of its enemies. a supply of swords and weapons, as Hr instance when they took th j spoils of the ■anionites: bat these Israel te< seemed con have no swords, no spt aYs. no b.'a k- Hiith'. n > grindstones, no active iron mines Rtil it was too late for them to make any ■si tance.

We are too willing to give up our R&nrns to the enemy. The world coasts ! Kt it has gobbled up the schools and the Krges and the arts and the sciences, and ■eliterature and the printing-press.

Let any printing presses that we been captured by the enemy be re ap ired for God and the reporters and the type tters and the editors and publishers swear legiance to the Lord God of truth. Ah, y friends, that day must come, and if th e ■eat body of Christian men have not th 0 Ith nor the courage nor the consecration to &it. then let some Jonathan on his busy mds and on his praying knees climb up on ® rock of hindran e and in the name of ,e Lord God of Israel slash to pieces those terary Philistines. If these men will not 'converted to God.then they must be over- Again I learn from this subject what a hie amount of the church’s resources is tually hidden an I buried and undeveloped. “J Bib'e intimates that that was a very 'Lland, this land of Israel. It savs: ‘ The DbJ^a'eJron and out of the hills thou shalt ? brass, ’’and yet hundreds and thousands i dollars’ worth of this metal was kept ider the hills. Well, that is the difficulty im the church of God at this day. Its is not. developed.

And you stand j them iu draughts at funerals, a d you poison I them with Ia l air in churches. 111 I die before mv time it will be at the! hands of committees who want an address ! or a lecture. A man < nme to me the other ‘ day and wanted me to lecture, so as a remit ' of it. he c. uld ray for hi* wedding trip! 1 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 drew lion mot < to gall the Christian and the Jew. An infidel when well, but what xvhen sick? Oh, then a text would touch him to the quick.” Seized with hemorrhage of the lungs in 1 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. A Christian life is the only <h - r. ul life, while a life of wicked curre ideris remorse, ruin and d“ath. Its painted giej is e;ul.:hral S hastiness In the bn_hte?>t days of the | [exican empire, Montezuma said he felt gnawing at his heart something like a <• anker. ■ Sin. like a monster wild beast f the forest, sometimes licks all over its victim in order ; that the victim may be more easily swallowed, , but generally sin rasps and gnlls and tears and upbraides and files. Is it not so, Iler d? Is it not si. 11 Idebra id ’ Is if not so, R« be 'P;orr.‘,' Aye' ave! It isso.it is so. “T ie w iv of ti e wicked He turnetii upside down ” History tells us that when Rome xvas founded, on that day th to weie twelve vultures flying through the air: but when a trans g C'or di s ’.be sky is bla *k xvith x\ hole flocks of them. Vultures! vultures! vultures ' When I see sin robbing so many 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 warning b » I on Inchape rock, thinking that they would have a ( hauceto despoil vessels that xvere crushed on the rocks; but one night hi- oxvn ship crashed doxvnon this very r.»‘k. aud he xvent down with all his cargo. 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 hand findeth t> do, do it with ail thv might, for there is neither wis dom nor device in the grave whither we are all hastening.” (Ipportunities of use fulness gone forever; souls that might have been benefited three months ago. neveragain coming under our Christian influence.
