There is much sight in the world, but very little insight. There are many eyes which are no eyes; there is mtttfh light, but great blindness. There are twelve hours in the day, yet few walk without.stumbling. The great failures and blunders of life are largely due to lack of insight. At some time or other we must have it, or we die. Where there is no vision, says the inspired proverb, the people perish. The busi ness man must have insight into the currents of trade and into his own affairs, or he fails. The physician must have insight into the malady and constitution of the pa tient, or he loses him. The parent must have insight into the nature of his children, or they will be ruined. The statesman must have insight into the condition, wants, and relations of his country, or it will decline and fall. The general of an army must have insight foguicle him in the choice of subordinates; to discern the strength or weakness of positions, the proper moments of attack or retreat; without these qualities he must expect defeat ahd ruin. The hills around Gettysburg are an object of interest to the ordinary observer, because of the softness and beauty of their outline and the opportunity for picturesque views which thoy afford. Otherwise they seem to such an observer little more than a confused mass of irregularities on the earth’s surface. Scientific men, geologists, engineers, &c., will go a step further and observe that they belonged to a system, both in their outward form and their internal structure. But it was the insight of General Howard, which, in the hour of imminent peril to the nation al life, discovered their admirable fitness for defence, saw how ProVidbhc’e had raised them up for just such an occasion of liu spcakablo need as that, and changed them fi om a mere amphi-theatreof charming views into a grand impregnable citadel of liberty, made their green slopes and their rocky walls forever memorable as the breakwater of treason; immortalized a common-place scene of mingled rocks and bushes as “the highwater 'mark of rebellion.” Without that insight into the military capacities of the position, the Army of the Potomac might have been annihilated, and the whole cur rent of our history disastrously changed. Man must have insight just as much into his spiritual nature, needs, and relations, or he will surely die. He must not be content with first impressions, but mast use his higher powers of vision. He mast penetrate beneath the shell of his own pride and see himself a sinner; he must see the frailty of his hold on life and the vanity of earthly things through all their glitter; he must see his destiny not bounded by the present, but inwoven with the judgment with heaven, hell, and eternity. Above all, he must have insight into the character of Christ, whom he is, of all beings, likely to misjudge, to overlook and to disbelieve, and yet whom, of all otl&rs, he must see and know in His true character. Without insight into Christ's person and work, he must perish beyond all hope. In Jesus Christ, he must “ behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” There are those who cryLo hore! and Lo there ! Ecoe Homo! and Ecce Ecus I who seem to have remarkable gifts of insight into philosophy and esthetics and his tory and nature, wNio seem to understand all mysteries and all knowledge, who yet fail to apprehend Christ, as John the Baptist, and many humble Christians, since, have done —as the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. What is necessary to the exercise of this indispensable spiritual attribute? (1.) Candor, teachableness, the child-li|ce spirit; the absence of preconceived notions of what Christ and Christianity must be. Men claiming unusual powers of insight are found approaching the Gospels with the axi om—as they would like to have it consider ed-—that a miracle is an impossibility. How can such penetrate beyond the mere exter nal shell, bare grammatical meaning of this history, whose beginning and whose end-were,,ehieffg&rgplesj^j^ghiph,it be not a miracle truth! ward - dfvinit-y, us a the world ? Men learn nothing if they coupti then^lvsa,^p9a^.ea*p.eh^|§ U^feili#eiij •>a ■’ .■•■ my > zd au'ib iffifius.am c.j nchihhs iii i • m •/iuciichlSfiunh'ioK-.d: I shut themselves put from the greatest facts, of all, if they deny .perfectly credible evi dence to save a theory of their own. Some sort of Christ, men sometimes think they have, when they deny miracles; a teacher, a martyr, perhaps, but never the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of-the world. The bitterly, prejudiced Pharisees of Christ’s; own time, beholding Him through the dis torted medium of theirown worldly opinion of what Messiah must be, are the most stri king example of the blinding power of pre judice. And they and their nation whom they controlled, perished for lack of vision; and “until this day remaineth the same vail, untaken away” from their minds. Our Saviour, over and over again, requir ed. the spirit of the child, in ; His disciples. Ancient Pharisees and modern philosophers lose the knowledge of the true Messiah, be cause, before Him and before; the great themes of which He treats and the facts of His martyrdom, they choose to bear them selves, as men with education in morals and religion so complete that they can be taught nothing farther. And they will be taught nothing farther, but shall die in their, eon-* ceit and thbir sin.' ‘ •' 2d. Element of insight: af£enl&m.'‘ Men fail to see from want of steady looking. In truth, they do not give their faculties A chance.' There is an immense amount of carelessness in the world. Even men ! who want or who consciously need to see, fail because they look so ill, so hastily. Insight is gained' by patient contemplation. We must not lot our sorrows, our sense of pre sent loss, so overwhelm Our powers of vision as to miss succor close at hand. Hagar, doubtless, was so blinded with de spair that she could not See the plentiful fountain bubbling up amid the desert. The miracle was to open the eyes of the weeper, not to create-the fountain. This Prodigal Son “ came to himself.” By dint of recol lec’tion he assured himself of‘the deliverance which had long been within reach, but which, in his thoughtlessness, he had overlooked, until he was ready to perish with hunger. So Blmyan’s Pilgrim, shut up in the dungeon of Giant Despair, allowed himself for. a long time to he blinded to’ the fact that the key of hope, the means of easy escape, lay in'his bosom all the time. We need to look at attentively, carefully, patiently, or perhaps its most im portant aspects will escape ns. The plan of God is a trial to the mind -of man. Truth must bo sought. The’spirits must be tried. There are even false miracles, ,tb be distin guished' from the true. Would a momen tary glance have persuaded John and ,his followers that Jesus of Nazareth was the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world? Not at all. Aside from inspi ration, it needed-study of the Old Testament; careful observation of the character and work of Christ; a followinghim through every stage of His brief and’rapidly unfolding mission ; to the solemn institution of the Lord’s sup per; to the agony in the gardento the shame before Jews and Gentiles; before Pi late and Herod; before the soldiers and the multitude; to the cross and the tomb; to the resurrection and the ascension. Then shall We know, if we follow on to know the Lord. “ Search-the Scriptures,’’.says Christ, “for they are they which testify of me.” This is to-day the best guide to an insight into Christ’s true character as the siu-bearer, the Redeemer of the world. (3) Finally, to insight faith is necessary. This is not contrary to the first requirement of candor. Faith is the truest and most candid expression of ourselves. Faith to the exercise of an instinctive sense of wank or of affinity toward an object beyond l or above us, as fitted to supply our want - and to correspond to our sense* of relationship.; Faith reaches out to an object as adapted to satisfy the innate craving of the 1 Spul. Faith is the torch-bearer to the mind, which; must otherwise grope in darkness." without; any profound insight into spiritual truth.; It was faith in the overruling providence -of; God in forming our earth and iVs surface and configuration to tIW deyelop-, ment of man, that has geography with its most beautifuPahct ligni-i ficant facts. Faith gave Carl fitter his ip sight and led the way to his brightest dis-; covery.
