Noted Pastor-Evangelist.
Most People Dissatisfied Because They Lead
Too Artificial a Life.
[The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D., is
now the most distinguished and best
known evangelist in the country. He was
second only to Dr. Talmage, but since the
death of that famous preacher Dr. Chap-
man has the undisputed possession of the
Pulpit as the preacher to influence the
plain people. His services as an evangel-
18st are in constant demand. His sermons
have stirred the hearts of men and women
to a degree unapproached by any latter.
day divine. J Wilbur Chapman was born
in Richmond, Ind., June 17, 1858. His
mother died when he was but twelve
vears of age, and his father died seven
vears afterward Consequently he was
not only deprived of a mother's care at
the formative age of boyhood, but he was
thrown upon his own resources before he
had reached early manhood. He was edu-
cated at Obveriin College and Lake Forest
University, and graduated for the ministry
from the Lane Theological Neminary, Cin-
cinnati, Ohio, in 1882 While there he

Elijah was not willing to die at the hand
of Jezebel, but he was quite ready to sleep
himself away into insensibility under the
juniper tree in the desert. Elijah made a
great mistake in running away. 1f he had
stood his ground he might have saved his
country, prevented the captivity of the
people, for I doubt not the 7000 that had
not bowed the knee to Baal would have
come forth, and they would have rushed
forward conquering and to conquer, but
Elijah is a picture of ourselves, and we all
like him have been times without number
under the juniper tree. The object of this
sermon 9 to ask the question, “Why we
are thus discouraged,” and then to deter
mine if possible what the difficulty was
with Elijah y
Why are we? There are thousands of
people to-day who are utterly dissatisfied
with life because they are living too artifi-
cial an experience, We have very many
things that our ancestors did not possces
The possession of these things ought to
bring to us great blessings in every way,
but as a matter of fact it is true that
neither happiness, nor brotherly love, nor
power nor good have been increased in
the least. We have indeed gone in the op
posite direction, and many of us are of
all men most miserable. {ve are discon
tented because we are trving to be some
thing that we are not. The business man
thinks he must keep pace with his compet.
itor whatever the cost to himself, and in a
little time he finds himself out of his lati:

the more unhappy, and there are thonssn
of homes where instead of living a sim
life the members of the household are liv
ing at a pace that is terrific, and all this
is killing the business man, the societ
woman, parents and the children, an
instead of possessing joy and peace we are
under the juniper tree. The thirst for
re in these days is so great that we
ve become absolutely unserupulous in our
attempts to gain the objects our de-
sires. We ought to be satisfied with just
what we are and in the most natural way.

ent gifts, some one with gold, others with
silver, still others with marble and many
with only clay, and our task is to fashion
these th into the strongest manhood
and the truest womanhood, and to do it
in the most simple and unaffected man
ner. We are too selfish in our living, we
long to satisfy our appetites, our passions
and our desires. This longing has become
uppermost in our living, and the man who
makes it so makes his appetite stronger
than himself, and his need is dreadful, for
he who lives simply to eat, to drink, to
sleep and to dress, whether he be pauper
or prince, is on the downward grade to de-
spair,
Contentment is one
blessings in the world. It is not a question
of the possession of either poverty or
riches. He who knows how to be content
possesses the secret, not because he is
either poor or rich, but simply because he
knows how to be content. The mere fact
that we are Christians does not

creases our confidence, our hope, ous love, |
it is good, but if it gives us the spirit that
we are better than other people, if we seek

But there was still another difficulty
with Elijah. First, he was alone. In
verse 3 we read that he left his servant
at Beersheba, and he himself went into
the wilderness. It is a great mistake to
be alone when trouble comes. “Bear
one another's b , and so falfill t
law of God,” fives us a picture of human
fellowship, while the verse, “Take my
yoke upon you and learn of Me.” gives us
an idea of that fellowship which we may
eI ICIS. the great Scotch Drescher
John McNeill, great Scotch preacher,
has a fine illustration of thie nt in his
sermon upon I Samuel, the 27t
chapter and the t verse, “And David
said in his heart, I shall now perish one
day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing
Are ie Oo ang ol, hvuld speedily

and jo shall despair of me, to seek me
any more in coast of lerael; 1
ore out i hand.” “David al in
his heart,” and John MeNeill says it
would have been well if instead of saying
it in his heart he would have said it out
loud, It is the thing we say in our heart
that grows to such great proportion and
leads us to believe that w# are on the
verge of despair. Without question the
passage is true, and Mr. McNeill suggests
three cures,
First—Why didn't David say it aloud
to his servant and let his servant argue
him out of his position, for there are many
things we think we would never dare to
sav to our dearest friends
Beecond-—-Why didn't David pray it. He
was a master in prayer, and if he had but
on his knees and said it to God, at
«t have tried to it, he would have
found that his very tongue would have
cleaved to the roof of his mouth, for there
are things we think that we would blush
if we dared to say them to God.

A Child Messenger of God,
The still form of a little boy lay in a
coffin surrounded by mourning friends. A
mason came into the room and asked to
look at the lovely face. “You
that I care s0 much”
tears rolled down his cheeks, “but your
boy was a messenger of God to me. One
time 1 was coming down by a long ladder
from a very high roof and found your
little boy close behind me when
reached the ground. He looked up into
my face with a childish wonder and
asked frankly, “Weren't you afraid of fall
ing when vou were up so high?” and.
hore I had time to answer, he said:
‘Ab! 1 know why you were not afraid—
{ had said your prayers this morning
sfore you went to work.’ I had not
prayed, but I never forgot to pray from
that day to this, and by God's blessing
never will.”
The Reward of Prayer,
True prayer never fails to bring its
reward. yer consists of supplication
and thanksgiving. Petition is but an in.
cident of prayer, and it may well be
dou whether that which consists of
petition alone is true prayer. Prayer is
communion with God. Spending a large
