Kclg ao Is Superior to the Cryslal la . Exactness. . ICorrrlsW, inn.) , WAKTTisnTrm, 1). C The charm of art exalted relipion is by )r. Talmae in this discourse illustrated and commended; text, .lob jtxviii, 17, "The crystal cannot equal it." Many of the precious stones of the Bihie have come to prompt recognition, but for the present I take up the less valuable (crystal. Job, in my text, com pares saving wisdom with a specimen of topas. An infidel chemist or mineralogist would pronounce the latter worth more than the former, but .lob maltcs an intel ligent comparison, looks at religion and then looks at the crystal and pronounces the former as of far superior value to tho latter, exclaiming in the words of roy text. The crystal cannot equal it." Now, it is not a pnrt of my aermonie de sign to depreciate the crystal, whether it be found in Cornish mine or Harz Mount ain or Mammoth Cave or tinkling among the pendants of the chandeliers of a pal ace. The crystal is the star of the mount ain; it is the queen of the cave; it is the eardrop of the hills; it finds its heaven in the diamond. Among all the pages of nnt tiral history there is no page more inter esting to me than the page rryetnllogm phic. Hut I want to show you' that Job was right when, taking religion in ono hand and the crystal in the other, he de clared that tho former ia of far nioro value and beauty than the latter, recommending it to all the people and to all the ages, declaring, "The crystal cannot equal it. In the firat place I remark that religion is superior to the crystal in exactness. That shapeless mass of crystal, against which you accidentally dashed your foot is laid out with more exactness than any earthly city. There are six styles of crys tallisation and all of them divinely or dained. Every crystal has mathematical precision. Uod's geometry reaches through it, and it is a rhomboid or in some way it has a mathematical figure. Now, religion beats that in the simple fact that spiritual accuracy is more beautiful than material accuracy. God's attributes arc exact, God's law exact, Gods decrees exact, God's management of the world exact. Never counting wrong, though Ho counts tho grass blades and the stars and the sands and tho cycles. His providence never dealing with us perpendicularly when those providences ought to be oblique, nor laterally when they ought to be vertical. Everything in our life arranged without any porsibility of mistake. Each life a six-headed prism. Born at the right time, dying at the right time. There are no "happen so's" in our theology. If I thought this was a slipshod universe 1 would be in despair. God is not an An archist. Law, order, symmetry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect rectangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edge of God's robe ot government never fraya out. There are no loose screws in the world's machinery. It did not just happen that Napoleon was attacked with indigestion at Borodino so that he bccrmio incompetent for one day. It did not just happen that John Thomas, tho mission ary, on a heathen island, waiting for an outfit and orders for another missionary tour, received that outfit and those or ders in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and the crew that carried the box were never heard of. I believe in a partic ular providence. I believe God'a geometry may be seen in all our life more beauti fully than in crystallography. Job was right. "The crystal cannot equal it." Again, 1 remark that religion ia supe rior to the crystal in transparency. We know not when or by whom glass was first discovered. Bcada of it have been found in the tomb of Alexander Severus. Vases of it are brought up from the mini of Herculancum. There were female adorn ments made out of it 3000 years ncro thoso adornments found now attuched to the mummies of Egypt. A great many commentators believe that my text means glass. What would wo do without the crystal the crystal in the window to keep out the atorm and let in tho day, the crys tal over tho watch, defending its delicate machinery, yet allowing us to hce the hour; tho crystal of the telescope, by which the astronomer brings distant worlds so near he can inspect them? Oh, the triumphs of the crystals in the. celebrated windows of itoucn and Salis bury! Ilut there is nothing so transpar ent in a crystal as in our holy religion. It is a transparent religion. ou put it to your eye, and you see man his sin, his soul, his destiny. You look at God, and you see something of the grandeur ot Ilia character. It is a transparent reli gion. Inlidc'.a tell us it is opaque. l)n you know why they tell us it is opaque? It is because they are blind. "The nat ural man receive tli not the things of God because they are (spiritually discerned.", There is no trouble with the crystal; the trouble ia with the eyes which try to look through it. We pray for vision, Lord,, that our eyes might be opened! When the eye salve cures our blindness then we find that reliition is transparent. It is a transparent Bible. All the mount ains of the Bible comoout .Sinai, the mountain of the law; Pisgah, the mount ain of prospect; Olivet, the mountain of instruction; Calvary, the mountain of sac rifice. All the rivers of the Bible come out tlidckel, or the river of paradisaical' beauty; .Ionian, or the river of holy; chrism; Cherith, or the river of prophetic supply; Nile, or the river of palaces, and the pure river of life from under the throne, clear as crystal. While reading this Bible, after our eyes have been touched by grace, we find it ell transpar ent, and iho earth' rocks, now with cru cifixion agony and now with judgment ter ror, and Christ appears in some of J is 258 titles, as far as I can count them the Bread, the ltnck, the Contain, the Com mander, the Conqueror, the Star, and on and beyond any capacity of mine to re hearse. Transparent religion! The providence that seemed dark before becomes pellucid. Now you find God s not trying to put you down. Now you understand why you lost that child and why you lost your property. It was to prepure you tor eternal treasures. And wn.v sickness came, it being the precursor of ininioitnl juvenescenee. And now you understand why they lied about you and tried to drive you hither and thither. It was to put ypu in the glorious company of such men as Ignatius, who when he went out to be destroyed by the lions said, "I, am the wheat, and the teeth of the wild beasts must first pnnd mo before I can become pure bread for Jesus Christ," or the company of such men as "that an' cicnt Christian martjr" who, standing in the midnt of tho amphitheatre wait ing for the lions to come out of their cave and destroy him, and the people in the fralleries jeerinr and shouting, "The ions!" replied ' 11 them come on!" and then, stooping down toward the cave where the wild bcusts were roaring to get c t, again cried, "Let them come on!" Ah, yes, it is persecution to put. you in glorious company, and, while there are many things that you will have to post- 5 one to the future world for explanation; tell you that it ia the whole tendency of your religion to unravel and explain and interpret and illumine and irradiate Job was right. It ia a glorioua transpar ency. "The erystal cannot equal it." I remark again that religion surpasses the crystal in its beauty. Tha lump of crystal ia put under the magnifying files of the crystallographer, and he aees in it indescribable exquisitenesa snowdrift and splinters of hoarfrost and corals and wreaths and stars and crowns and constel lations of conspicuous beauty. The fact is that crystal is so beautiful that I can think of but one thing in all tha universe that ia as beautiful, and that is the reli gion of the Bible. No wonder this Bible represents that religion as the daybreak, as the apple blossoms, as tha glitter of a king's banquet. . It ia tha joy of the whole earth. i People talk too much about their erosi and not enough about their crown. Do you kuow that the Bible mentions a cross but twenty-seven times, while it mention! a crown eighty times? Ask that old man what he thinks of religion, lie haa been a close observer. He has been cultivating an aesthetio taste. He has seen the sun rises of half a century. lie has been an esriv riser. He hue heen en admirer at ramcis and corals and afl kinds of beauti ful things. 'Ask him what he thinks of re ligion, and he will tell you: "It is the most beautiful thing I ever saw. The crystal cannot trm it." v-wi.',r . f Beautiful in its symmelry. When it presents God's character, it docs not pre sent Him as having love like a great pro tuberance on one side of His nature, hut makes that love in harmony with His jus ticea love that will accept all those who eome to Him and a justice that will by no means clear the guilty. Beautiful reli- fion in the sentiment it implants! Beau iful religion in tho hope it kindles! Beau tiful religion in the fact that it proposes to garlnud and enthrone and cmparadiso an immortal spirit! -fioloinon save it is a lily. I'aul snys it is a crown. The Apo calypse snya it is a fountain kissed of the sun. Kzekiel ssya it is a foliagcd cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom coma to fetch home a bride. While Job in the text takes up a wholo vase of precious stones the topnn and tho sapphire and the rhrysoprasua he takes out of this beautiful vane just one crystal and holds it up until it irlcams in the warm light of the eastern sky, end he exclaims, "Tho crystal cannot equal it!" Oh, it is not a stale religion, it is not a stupid religion, it is not a toothless ling, as some seem to have represented it; it is not a Meg Morrilir with shriveled arm come to scare the world. Tt is the fairest daughter of God, heiress of all His wealth, her checks the morning sky, her voice the music of tha south wind, her step the dance of the sea. Come and woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will let him come. Da you ngrec with Solomon and sr.y it is n lily? Then pluck it and wear it over your heart. Do you ncrcc with Paul and it is a crown? Then let this hour he your coro nation. Do you agree with the Apoca lypse and say it is a rpringing fountain? Then come and nlako the thirst of your soul. Do you believe with Kackirl and say it is a foliaged cedar? Then come un der its shadow. Do you believe with Christ nnd say it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride? Then strike hands with your Lord and King while I pro nounce you everlastingly one. Or if you think with Job that it is a jewel, then put it, on your hand like a rinft. on your neck like a bend, on your forehead like a star, while, looking into the mirror of God's word, you acknowledge "The crystal can not equal it." "What." say you. "will God wear jew elry?" If He wanted it He could make the stars of heaven His helt. and have tho evening cloud for the sandnla of His feet, lint fie does not want that adornment. He will not have that jewelry. When God wants jewelry lie conifs down and digs it out of the depths and darkness of sin. These souls are all crystallizations of mercy. He puts them on. nnd He wears them in the presence of the whole uni verse. He wears them on the hnnd that was nailed, over the heart that was riierced. on the temples that were stung. "They shall be Mine," saith the Lord, "in the day when I make up Mv jewels." Wonderful transformation! Where sin abounded grace shall much more ubound. The carbon becomes the solitaire. "The crystal cannot equal it." Three crystals! John says crystal at mosphere. That means health. Balm of eternal June. What weather after ihe world's east wind! No rack of storm clouds. One breath of that air will cure the worst tubercle. Crystal lipht on nil the leaves; crystal light shimmering on tho topar, of the temples; crystal licrht tossing in the plumes of the equestrians of heaven on white horses. ' But "tho crystal cannot equal it." John says crys tal river. That means joy. Deep and ever rolling. Not one drop of the Potomac or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil it; not one tear of human sorrow to Imbitter it. Crystal, the rain out of which it was made: crystal, the bed over which it ahall roll and ripple; crystal, its infinite surface. But "the crystal cannot equal it." John says erystal ten. That means multitudi nouly vast, vast In rapture, rapture vast as the sen, deep aa the sea, strong as the sea, ever changing ns the sea; billows of light, billows of beauty, blue with skies that were never clouded and green with depths that were never fathomed; Arctics and Antarctica and Mediterraneans and Atlantica and Pacifies in crystalline mag nificence. Three crystnls crystal light falling on a crystal river, crystal river rolling into a crystal sea. But "the crys tal cannot equal it." "Oh," says some one, putting his hand over his eyes, "can it be that I who have been in so much sin and trouble will ever come to those crystals?" Yes, it may he it will be. Heaven we must have, what ever we have or have not, and we come here to get it. "How much must I Bay for it?" you say. You will pay for it just as much as the coal pays to become the diamond. In other words, nothing. The same Almichtv power that makes the crys tal in the mountain will change your heart, which is harder than atone, for the prom ise is, "I will take away your stony heart, and I will give you a heart of flesh. "Oh," says some one, "it is just th . doctrine I want. God is to do everything, and I am to do nothing." My brother, it is not the doctrine you want. The coal makes no resistance. It hears the resur rection voice in the mountain, and it cornea to crystallization, but your heart re sists. . The trouble with you. my brother, ia the coal wants to stay coal. I do not ask you to throw open the door and let Christ in. I only ask that you atop bolting it and barring it. My friends, we will have to get rid of our sins. I will have to get rid of my sins, and you will have to get rid of your sins. What will we do with our sins among the threa i crystals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be befouled with our touch. Trans formation must take place now or no transformation at all. Give sin full chance in your heart, and the transformation will be downward instead of upward. Instead of a crystal it will be a cinder. In the days of Carthage a Christian girl waa condemned to die for her faith, and a boat was bedaubed with tar and pitch and tilled with combustibles and set on fire, and the Christian girl was placed in the boat, and the wind was offshore, and the boat floated away with its precious treas ure. No one ran doubt that boat landed at the shore of heaven. Sin wants to put you in a fiery boat and shove you off in an 'opposite direction off from peace, off from God, off from heaven, everlastingly .off, and the port toward which you would sail would be a port of darkness, and the guns that would greet you would be the guns of despair, and tlie flnga that woul4 wave at your arrival would be the black , flairs of death. Oh, tj- brother, you must , either kill sin or sin will kill y'i. It is no exaggeration when I say that any u:-n or j woman that wants to be saved may be .saved. Tremendous choice I A thousand I people are choosing this moment between salvation and destruction, between light and darkness, between charred ruin and glorious crystallization. A Novelty a Ilrltlegronnis.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL International Lesson Comments October !3. For Subject: Joseph In Prison, flcn. xxtlx., 20 to xL, 15 Golden Text, Oen. xxxlx., 21 Memory Verses, 21-23 Commentary on tit Day's Lesson. Introduction. The history of .Toerh, is recorded in the Bible, is of inimitable beauty. So simple that a child may un derstand it, yet, in its simplicity, so beau tiful that no uninspired hand can embel lish it. Modern writers would fill a vol ume in recording what Moses puts within the compass of a few chapters. No blem ish npnecrs in the life of Joseph.. 20. "Into the prison." This probably implies an edifice, or portion of the ofh cial mansion, mostly subterranean, of which the roof or vault, rising immediate ly from the surface of the ground, was round, or shaped like an inverted bowl. In chapter 41: 14 it is called "".he dun peon." Such dungeons see still, under similar circumstances, used in the East, His imprisonment must have been very severe at lirst. In Psalm 105: 17, IS wo read that they hurt his feet with fetters; he was Inid in iron. But God grcnt'.y blessed him, and it was not long brforo he had many favors shown him. "He was there." Joseph was in prison three years. 21. "The Lord was with Joseph." "This is an example of the strength of God's consolations in the worst trials." Joseph hnd power within him, which en abled him to press forwnrd, even though it was very dark before him. Tho disci pline seemed severe; he was sufTtrinn; ns a martyr. But he learned to trust God, and with gladness of heart he goes to slavery, persecution nnd imprisonment. God's eye was upon him. and no weapon formed naainRt him prospered. He always did light and made the best of everything. 22. "Keeper of the prison." An inferior officer who was charged with the actual discipline of the prison. "Committed to Joseph's hand." We sec here the real na'urc of human influence. It is not the influence of rank, hut of character. Make all men equal in rank tn-dny. nnd to-morrow there will be found those who have acquired influence over tho others. These prisoners were all in the same poiition. but very soon Joseph's character gained him influence. 23. "Becnuo the Lord," etc. The rea son of his influence was the God within him. Just so far ns a man is Chrisllike will he have influence. Wisdom and vir tue will shine in the narrowest spheres. A good man will do irood wherever bp it 1 and will be a blessing even in bonds nnd hnnishments, for the Stunt of the Lord ir not bound or banished. 1. "The butler." The cupbearer and overseer of the wine making nnd nt"ing and serving; an important officer of the king. "Baker." This was another officer in trust of the king's bread nnd its mak ing, and his post was one of high trust, because they who had charge of the food of the king mipht easily poison him. "Had offended." High places are slippery places. 3. "In the house." The state prisoi was in connection with Potiphar's resi dence. Sec on verse 20. 4. "Charged Joseph," etc. The captain of the guard himself, who was Potiphar, charged Joseph with them, which inti mates that he began now to be reconciled to him, and perhaps to be convinced of his innocence. "lie served them." Joseph waited upon them. So long ns God is with him Joseph will nhinc even in the dun geon. Pharaoh's officers are sent to wit ness his graces, which he is not permitted to come forth to show. 5. "Each man in one night." Tin's sjV?s that the dreams were of the Lord. While, our ordinary dreams have no spe- significance, yet it can not be doubted that God has in many eases, especially in early times, spoken in dreams. "Accord ing to the interpretation." This expres sion is intended to Hhow that the dreams were not meaningless, but suited to each man a case nnd capable of a sound inter pretation. 6. "Sad." They were sure their dreams had more than an ordinary menninr-. , '.'Wherefore so sadly." Joseph spoke kindlv to them: he, too. was a common, sufferer with them, and under stood their feelings. x 8' , ''ntcnjreter." One thing that troubled thcrn was that thev were not in a position to submit their drenms to the magicians of Egypt, who were supposed to be ntne to interpret dreams. But Jocnh pointed them to his God as the fine who could reveal difficult things. "Tell me them. Thus had God at last brought Joseph i nromipcntly before these olhrers. ,''' Pressed them."
