— “A GREAT VICTORY.” Sunday Disc arse by Dr. Chapman, the Noted Pastor Evasgelist. The Soul's Deep Longing After God Faith Will Conquer in the Ead. God is Our Strength and Life NEW York Crry.—The Rev. Dr.J. Wil” bur Chapman has furnished to the press a most striking and popular sermon which 18 intended for all thems who would rise to better things. It is entitled “A Great Victory, ' and is preached from the texts: As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.” Psalm 42: 1. “Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance.” Psalm 43: 5. ‘he first verse is a lamentation in the wilderness, the second is a shout of re- Joicing when victory is won. The terri tory stretching out from the wilderness in the one text to the presence of God in the other is not only the story of the expe- rience of David, but of the most of Chris- tians. My message last week was to those who occasionally fall under juniper trees and want to die; here it is to all who would rise to better things The Psalms are divided into five books, and the ancient Rabbins say in these five books in the Psalter we have the imaze of the five books of the law, or in other words a kind of a second pentateuch, the echo of the first. In the first God speaks and in the second the voice of the people i8 heard. God presents Israel with the law, and grateful Israel responds with a shout of praise. These two Psalms form the first division of the second book. They are dedicated to the master musi- cians or the sons of Horah. They were the celebrated musicians and singers of the day; they were in David's time the keepers of the threshold of the tabernacle, and still earlier in the time of Moses they were watchmen at the entrance of the camp of the Levites; they were a part of .that band t acknowledged David as leader at Ziklag: they were warriors with faces like lions, and who for speed were ke gazelles on the mountains. Mr. Spurgeon says that although David is not mentioned as the author of these psaims they must be his, for the truth is go like him. It has the character of his style and the work of his experience in every letter sooner tion the nyan’s second part of a Viewed in anoth Strea thre fas ¢ of } fall meet above ) comp.ant the health There ing in t gay soul’ : x psalmist RAYE it dumps is oiten verse R does come ag rience a of God. ar you will ne ourselves come to ent way and address mg term There is of this than these two I airred think of no better psalms, “0 God” Debs ship David iz he ng ease, he nee comfort, but like bottle is empty anc dry, go he 1 When it God as for with our from public wor.

We shall be satisfied only when we find Him. i 1 “The Living God.” My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God. This is an advance upon the first expression, and this 18 Jehovah's name of power. Ancient Isracl "was accustomed to use it before every victory, since it is higher than “0 God.” In the first cry we naturally find it followed with a shout of victory, “I shall yet praise Him.” Hunger and.thirst are God's instruments to call us to Him- peli. When the prodigal was an hun. gered he said, “1 will arise.” 1t is a pic. ture of one who bas tried other things in the world, pleasure, wealth. honor and then cries out, “O for the living God.” But thirst is better than hunger: you may’ palliate hunger, but thirst is a perpetual appetite. The next best thing to being in the light of God's love is to be unhappy antil you have it. He is the living God because He has life in Himself and because He bestows that life to others, Il. “O my God.” Appropriation comes next, and once it is taken it is never dropped. Hé says, “God of m; life, and God my rock.” ‘There are five “mys” n the forty-third psalm, “my cause,” “my strength " “my joy, “my soul,” “mn God.” You niver really appreciate God until you begin to apply Him to your life, and He will be to you just what you wish. e ig like a locked casket filled with jew. ele. You may have such a casket in your on. Only the koy unlocking it ean reveal to you the precicusness of your ion.

You will notice that the two preceding expressions are thus put together. One who 1s learning of God 1s like a child learning his.alphabet. He knows his letters, but who is there that knows all the words into which the letters may be shaped, and who has read all the books which they can make up. It is with God, He is the God of my life. What 8a if I am comfartless, He i= ike my mother; what if I am cast down, He 1s my re- storer; what if 1 am hopeless and undone, He is my hope v David vas de fi nse enemies, mountains and “God mv rock.” and bad little means continually pursued hy his since the country is full of Caves of refuge are on every side 01 him they become to him the picture of God. He calls Him my rock. The names of God are suited to every circumstance in life. Nothing is more fitting for us than fo get hold of this expressicn of David's. You will be tempted on every side, the enemy 1% too strong for you, but literally David’ expression 18, “God is my cliff.” That 1s, He rises above the things of this world. and He wants His children to understand that wherever there is a heart big with sorrow, wherever there i= an eve filled with tears or a lip quivering with agony His ear is wide-open to all their cries He marks down every necessity in His memory; He will not forsake His own. AA | “God my strength.” This meant my strength belongs to God, and 1 must use it only for His glory. He is taking note af all that I do, and one day I shall be called to an account. God might if He pleased wrap Himself about with night as a gar- ment. He might dwell alone far above this world, and look down with indiffer ence upon the dogs of His creat We might look up into the heavens and behold the say, “1 am nothing compared and God does care .

The day may be one of calamity. Dark clouds may be over us and a terrible storm about to break upon us. Where shall we find safety? The providence of God may fill us with alarm, and we may feel our selves left destitute and helpless. Where may we hide ourselves from the impending evii? Or, while all is peace about us, while others are rejoicing because of great good, we are depressed in spirit, and in the thought of ourselves see only sin and indgment. How shai we escape? The spirit of God has given us the answer: “God 1s our refuge; a help in trouble most readily to be found.” He is at hand and His ear is open to every cry of distress. care we are safe.

Every Day's Blessing. All that God gives to us day by day ie, as it were, a new creation. We never re ceived it before. It never was our need until now. We may have received some- thing like it before, but that was not thie, nor could that have filled the place of this. Every day's blessing are to each of us as a special miracle from the hands of the ever. loving and the Almighty God, As John Bunyan says, “Things that we receive at God's hand come to us as things from the minting honwsethough old in themselves, et new to us.” What should we do if our ather failed to give us current coin of his minting dayby day *—Sunday- School Times, Divine and Spirituai.
