MORNING SERMON
BY REV.MOARVEY

Avenue Baptist Pulpit.
UNFINISHED TEMPLES OP THE HEART
Xilkoncd to Ono of Dnvld's Disap
pointments, Ills Unfinished Mn
tcrlnl Temple, Hut Which Wnt
Lnter Unlit to Cod In His Heart,
l'lnns Executed for God's Glory nnd
AInn's Good Iloccivo Their Com
pensation. Hev. Hansom Harvey, of Gorman
town, Pn., a minister whose sermons
havo on several occasions been received
with much favor In this city, preached
yesterday, morning and evening, In tho
Penn Avenue Baptist church. Ills
morning theme was "The Unmaterlal
Izcd Temples of the Heart." ,
Mr. Harvey's text was from I Kings.
viii:17-19, especially the eighteenth
verse, "Whereas it was in thine heart
to build a house for my name, thou
didst well, it was In thine heart." He
said:
I suppose this passago Introduces us
to one of tho bitterest disappointments
of David's life that ho was prevented
from building a temple In Jerusalem for
tho worship of God and the honor of Uis
name. With him seems to havo origl
nntnl thn contention and nlan ot such a
splendid and permanent structure to bo
devoted to this sacred use. Before his
tlmo no such structure had ever been
erected or attempted, nor so far ns ap
pears from tho biblical records even pro
jected. Altars had been built from tho
beginning.
And then tho tabernacle and tho ark
of tho covenant had been tho center of
worship during the wilderness wandering
and during tho flvo or six hundred years
following tho Israclltlsh occupation of Ca
naan, down to David's time. David, how
over, conceived tho Idea of a parma
nent structure, now that tho people wero
permanently established and wero no
longer going from place to place, and
transferring their headquarters and cap
Itol of something more benefiting tho
permanency of their religion and tho
grandeur of Jehovah than that frail
moveable tent with its curtains. At dif
ferent times he turned to the scheme In
his thought and made somo preparation
for it. accumulating something toward a
building fund, In gold and silver and tho
spoils of war.
THE TEMPLD ON MOIUAII.
And finally the tlmo camo when
determined to set about the erec
tion of the templo on Mount Moriah. It
was a tlmo of peace In national life for
Israel. A time of prosperity for tho pco
plo and of personal prosperity for David.
He had Justcompleted a magnificent house
for his own habitation. An-i as ho sat In
that new house of cedar and looked out
upon tho shabby tent, sheltering tho
sacred ark of tho covenant, where God
dwelt among men, tho purpose to build a
houso for God sometime, ripened Into
the purposo to build now Immediately.
Seo II Sam., 7. Ho spoke to tho Prophet
Nathan about It and Nathan quickly gavo
consent and told him to do what was In
his heart and tho Lord would bo with
him.
Hut Nathan was hasty In this matter
too hasty as tho event proved, for God
sent Nathan to forbid David from build
ing tho temple, assigning as the reason,
In general that the tlmo was not fully
como for a change so radical as this, and
particularly end personally, that David
was an unfit man for such a work, that
ho had been too much a man of war and
had shed too much blood. (I Chron. xxll,
8). Ho tells Daid that he has done well
to plan It and that his work thus far Is
accepted and God's blessing shall be upon
htm and his seed after him and Ills son
shall succeed him upon thu throne of
Israel and shall build tho temple But
not David.
And so it was. David built the templo
to God In his heart. It was there not only
In vagruo purpose, but in definite plan and
form. Just as tho houso you hope to
build somo tlmo Is all laid out in your
mind and you can close your eyes and
see it standing In all its beauty and com
pleteness beforo you. We find that "Ho
gavo to Solomon the pattern of all that
he had by the spirit." (I Chron. xxvll,
31). And that pattern was completo oven
to minute details, and comprehensive of
tho whole magnificent structure. And
David made vast preparation for the erec
tion of the material structure, In gath
ering together sliver and gold and other
metals, and stone and building material.
Dut ho never actually built any templo
except that one In his heart. Ho never
built the templo that was in his heart,
outside tho heart upon tho hill of God,
In Jerusalem. It was reserved for Solo
mon to materialize his father's thought
and purpose and cause to rlso In massive
proportions of stono and metal, the tem
ple on Mount Moriah.
THE EXPERIENCE OF DAVID.
I havo often thought upon this experi
ence of David and of Its typical charac
ter, matching as It does so often tho ex
perience of God's servants today. And
especially of those comforting words to
David, "Whereas it was in thine heart to-.
build a house for My name, thou didst
well that it was in thine heart." When
God evidently takes the will for tho deed,
and pronounces His benediction upon
that unmaterlallzed heart-structuro of
David's, let us learn a lesson of comfort
for our own lives from this, about the
unmaterlallzed temples of tho heart the
temples that aro formed In purposo but
never actualized In fact the good wo
plan to do, would so much like to do, but
fall to accomplish, through some Divine
limitation or hindrance.
It Is the sad fortune of many, to build
temples In tho heart which they never
are permitted to build outside tho heart
which they never succeed In material
izing. They are llko David and his
temple. How many beautiful structures
we all build for God and humanity, In
our thought and desire. How many
gifts and good dfeds we conceive. And
how full tho world would bo of blessings
nnd benefactions and kindnesses, If
thoughts wero things. When wo wero
children they told us that 'if wishes were
horses then beggars would ride." And
If wishes were dollars and sermons and
houses and hospitals and asylums and
alms and visits and food nnd medicine
tender ministry to tho unfortunate and
sick and sorrowing, there would bo no
beggars nnd no lack of human service
to humankind or to the church of Christ
or to God. No homeless worshippers. No
mortgages! No empty treasuries of
churches or missionary societies! No need
or want anywhere unmet! Our hearts are
like tho sci.
Mr. Harvey here related the legend
of tho submerged city off the Brittany
coast where spires are said to have
been seen and church bells heard. It
is only a myth of the sea but real as
to tho heart. Ho told also of David
Smith's house at Cortland where only
tho rear wing was built and a found
ation for tho main part. Man gener
ally bulds only the porch or wing of
tho temple he wishes to erect. Contin
uing he said:
APPROVED OF GOD.
Somo of these unmaterlallzed temples
are accepted and approved of God. And
God takes the will for tho deed. God can
see the beauties that lie hidden in the
depths of the sea. And He can read the
secret wishes and see the hidden purpose
of our Inmost souls. There Is not a tree
In that forest, so deep down In your
heart, not a flower In that garden, not a
spire In that forest of churches, not a
note from the muslo of the bells but God
knows and sees and hears. Often his
benedictions rests down upon ths builder
and his work and He cays to us as He did
to David, "Whereaa it was in thine heart
SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, 1897.
thou didst well that it was In thine
heart." And Ho takes tho will for tho
deed.
AnJ does Ho always take tho will for
the deed? Thtro are pcoplo whose re
ligion Is merely nnd only sentimental.
They nre full of good wishes nnd plans.
Always telling what they would llko to
do but never doing anything. Their pur
poses for good are llko the momentary
Hashes of heat-llghtnlng at tho close of
a summer day, just an Instant darting
across tho clouds and then gone. Does
God say of theao well done? Does Ho
take tho will for tho deed. Nol wo must
not stretch tho blanket of consolation so
far as this. It will not cover nil these
temples. Wo must apply this consola
tion only to similar cases.
A neighbor Is full of professions of
great things be would like to do, yet un
willing to do the llttlo things he could
you do not take tho will for deed. A boy
who has nn apple nearly eaten, meets
another boy and says, "I wish you had
a nlco big apple, but I havo no more,
take a bite of this one, take It all" you
tako tho will for deed. But if ho says,
"I wish you had a whole" and does not
offer oven a 'bite, tho other boy will say
his talk about wishing Is sham and ho 1
mean and stingy Do not tell'Uod nbout
the big red applo you would llko to give
Him and then not offer Him any ot tho
little you have.
ALL SWEPT AWAY.
So with a slnslo breath of Indignation
at ourselves, of sorrow and shame for
tho sham pretentions to good deeds, that
we have cherished, tho barren scntlment
allsm that docs nothing to provo itself
fruitful nnd genuine with a slnglp
breath sweep all these away, and look
down Into the heart upon thoso temples
ot a more mbstantlal sort. Temples
bullded of eolldest rock of deep and ar
dent desires, affectionately reared and
garnish ed In gold and silver and pre
cious stone. Tnko to your heart tho con
solation as you look, that God takes tho
will for the deed. God says "Whereas
thou hast built them In tho heart only it
it well, thou hast well done."
Though David was denied tho privilege
of building tho temple, God permitted
him to make preparation for building It,
let him do part of what ho had planned;
God took tho will for tho deed ns to
what ho was hindered from doing and ac
cepted tho perfect temple of tho heart;
God permitted David's son to materialize
tho temple in the stead of his father;
and God promised to build a house for
David, to bring special blessing upon him
and his children after him.
;In II Samuel, the 7th chapter, Is record
ed a promise to David, given at tho tlmo
when David disclosed his plan to build
tho temple, In consideration of that pious
wish and purpose, "Tho Lord telleth
theo that Ho will make thee a house,"
thai Is as Ho explains, "I will set up thy
seed after thee and will establish his
kingdom," ono of tho chief desires of
David's heart, connected with himself
nnd his own family.
Similar compensations God often per
mits His builders, disappointed In their
execution of their plans for God's glory
and man's good today.
God lets us do part of the work. It wo
cannot give a million dollars, He lets us
glvo $1,000 or $100 or $10. If wo cannot
glvo all our time to Christian work He
lets us give a little.
WILL FOR THE DEED.
God takes tho will for tho deed b.
regards tho balance, which wo aro provi
dentially hindered from doing. He looks
not only outside us but within.
God sometimes materializes our temples
for us at tho hands of others. Sometimes
our children finish the work we have be
gun or planned or wished to do.
God will build a houso for us He will
bring special blessings upon us and our
children after us.
My child expresses dcslro to do some
thing for mo and there Is at onco awak
ened a desire and purpose to do some
thing for my child so with my heavenly
Father and His dear children. You plan
to build a houso for God, nnd God will
surely build a houso for you.
Let us build then these temples In the
heart. Let us then do tho best we can
to build our temples outsldo the heart,
In the deeds of life. Let us leave tho rest
cheerfully with God. Ho will surely ap
preciate and accept. He will bless. Ho Is
not unrighteous to forget your work of
faith nnd labor of love. For the present
It may seem to bo n case of love's labor
lost. By and by it shall prove a case of
love's labor found and rewarded.

The Traders' Mutual Life association,

equity suit Saturday by its former sec

Mr. Hanley avers that ho was an in

chosen its secretary. He was to re
celvo $50 a month for four months nnd
$60 a menth thereafter. Last March,
after being connected with the com

deposed from his position nnd fraudu
lently deprived of all the books and
papers pertaining to tho office of sec
retary. The loss of the position and
his books and papers he does not com
plain of so much, but when he was
ousted the company owed him all the

took hold of tho office, and this he now
desires to collect.
Ho declares that he has grounds for

AN ENCYCLICAL
LETTER READ
Prepared By the Bishops ot the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
AN
IMPORTANT
UTTERANCE
AInnv Questions of Absorbing Inter
est Aro Touched Upon nnd the
Attitude of tho Church to Them
is lcflncd--Tcmpcrnnco, Purity,
Sanctity ot AInrrlncc, Industrial
Problems, International Arbitra
tion, Kcligious Communities nnd
Other .Matters nro Considered.
An encyclical letter from the bishops
of the Protestant Episcopal church
was read in St. Mark's Episcopal
church, Dunmore, yesterday by Rev.
E. J. Haughton. The letter will be
read In every Protestant Episcopal
church throughout tho world. In part
it Is ns follows:
Intemperance still continues to be ono
of tho chief hindrances to religion In tho
great mass of our people. ' Thcro nro
many excellent societies engaged In tho
conflict with It, but they need steady
and resolute perseverance to effect any
serious Improvement. It Is Important to
lay stress on tho essential condition of
permanent success In this work, namely,
that It should bo taken up In n religious
spirit ns part of Christian devotion to tho
Lord.
Wo dcslro to repeat with tho most
earnest emphasis what was said on tho
subject of purity by tho last conference,
and wo reprint herewith tho report which
that conference unanimously adopted.
Wo know the deadly nature of tho sin
of impurity, tho fearful hold it has on
thoso who havo once yielded, and tho
fearful strength of the temptation. The
need for calling nttentlon to this Is great
ly Increased at present by the difficulties
that hamper all attempts to deal with
tho frightful diseases which everywhere
attend It. Wo recognize tho duty ot
checking tho spread of such diseases, but
wo recognize also the tcrrlblo possibility
that tho means used for this purposo may
lower the moral standard, and so, In the
end, foster the evil In the very endeavor
to uproot It. We nre convinced that tho
root ot all such evil Is In tho sin Itself,
and that nothing will in tho end provo
effectual against It which does not from
the very llrst teach tho Christian law
that tho sin is a degradation to thoso
who fall Into It, whether men or women,
nnd that purity Is within reach of every
Christian who, trusting In the graco of
God, fights the battle of his baptismal
vow.
SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.
Tho maintenance of tho dignity nnd
sanctity of marriage lies at the root of
social purity, and therefore of the safety
and sacrcdness of tho family and tho
home. Tho foundation of Its noly secur
ity and honor Is the precept of our Lord,
"What, therefore, God hath Joined to
gether let no man put asunder." Wo
utter our most enrnest words ot warning
against tho lightness with which tho
lifelong vow of marriage Is often taken;
against the looseness with which thoso
who enter Into Its holy estate often ro
gard Its obligations; and against tho fre
quency and facility of recourse to tho
courts of law for the dissolution of this
most solemn bond. Tho full considera
tion, however, of this matter it has been
Imposslblo to undertako on this occa
sion. Tho Industrial problems of tho present
day present themselves under tho double
aspect of Justice between man nnd man,
nnd sympathy with human needs. It Is
widoly thought In some classes that tho
present working of our Industries Is uni
Just to tho employed and unduly favor
ablo to tho employer. It Is obviously not
possible for us to enter upon tho con
sideration of such a quostlon In detail.
But we think it our duty to press tho
great principle of tho Brotherhood of
Man, nnd to urgo tho lmnortanco of
bringing that principle to bear on all the
relations between thoso who aro con
nected by the tlo of a common employ
ment. Obedience to this law of brother
hood would ultimately, In all probabil
ity, prevent many of the mischiefs which
attend our present system. Upon this
aspect of the Industrial problems wlso
and helpful counsels will bo found in
the report.
Tho other aspect of these problems con.
cerns thoso clnsses of tho community
who are, above all others, commended
by our Lord to tho loving care of His
disciples, tho poor. It Is undenlablo that
poverty Is so far from being regarded In
the New Testament as a hindrance to
the acceptance of tho Gospel that it Is,
on the contrary, tho rich as such that
are warned that they will find serious
difficulty in entering tho Kingdom of
Heaven.
TEMPTATIONS AND TROUBLES.
Still, the poor havo temptations and
troubles from which tho rich aro
comparatively free. To give help In such
temptations nnd to lessen theso troubles
Is ono of the special duties of the Chris
tian. Of all tho duties that our Lord has
Imposed on us, none can be said to stand
higher than this; but whilo It Is one
of the most Imperative, It Is also one
of the most difficult. It Is certain that no
permanent good can bo dono to thoso
who find tho dally struggle for subsist
ence very severe, unless they themselves
will Join In the work. But tho per
petual temptation of their lives Is to
throw off their burdens and expect to
obtain aid without any exertion on their
own part. Many, perhaps the great ma
jority, rlso abovo tHis temptation and
live bravo lives of dependence on their
own perservcrlng labor. But many sink
In tho effort nnd glvo up nil true manly
hope. It Is character that they need.

They need Inspiration. They need to

to bo roused to a belief In their power
by tho help 6f God to llvo on higher
principles. It Is when mon of thlsclass
nro fighting their own battle against
their own weakness that they can best
bo aided by thoughtful sympathy nnd
friendly help. But besides these thcro
are not a few who nro caught, as It
were, In somo overpowering current of
troublo which they cannot deal with.
Such nro thoso who cannot find employ
ment, though often longing to find It.
Tho difficulty of helping theso Is well
known and requires most careful study.
And, lastly, thcro nro tho many who
nro physically unablo to malntnln them
selves; sometimes from congenital weak
ness, sometimes from nccldcnt or dis
ease, sometimes, nnd Indeed most often,
from old age. To Instil Christian prin
ciple Into the great body of Church
men; to press on them tho duty ot not
only being ready to glvo nnd glad to
communicate, but of giving their time,
their troublo, their careful thought to
the discovery of tho best modo of help
ing Individual cases of need, is tho task
which our Master gives us. Wo warmly
commend to nil Christian pcoplo tho Re
port of our Committee on this subject.
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
There Is nothing which moro tends
to promote general employment and con
sequently gcnulno comfort among the
pcoplo than tho maintenance of pence
among tho nntlons of mankind. But
besides nnd nbovo all considerations of
material comfort stands tho valuo of
peace itself as tho great characteristic
of tho Kingdom of our Lord, tho word
which heralded His entrance Into tho
world, tho title which Bpcclnlly distin
guishes Him from nil earthly princes.
Thcro can bo no question that tho in
fluence of tho Christian church can do
more for this tnan any other influence
that can bo named. Without denying
that there aro Just wars and that wo
cannot prevent their recurrence entirely,
yet wo are convinced that thero aro
other and better wnys of settling tho
quarrels of nations than by fighting. War
Is a horrible evil followed usually by
consequences worse than Itself. Abltra
tlon place of war saves tho honor of
tho nations concerned nnd yet deter
mines tho questions at issuo with com
pleteness. War brutalizes even while It
gives opportunity for the finest heroism.
Arbitration leaven behind It a generous
senso of passions restrained and Justice
sought for. Tho Church of Christ can
never havo any doubt for which of tho
two modes of determining national quar
rels It ought to strive.
Wo pass from moral questions to ec
clesiastical, and first to thoso which may
be called Internal.
On tho subject of Religious Communi
ties we do not consider It to bo yet
posslblo to gvo ndvlco which can bo
treated as final. We bellcvo that such
communities nre capablo of rendering
great services to tho church nnd havo
Indeed already dono so. But wo think
moro regulation Is needed If they aro
to bo worked In thorough harmony with
tho general work of tho church ns a
whole. What form such regulations
should tako requires much further con
sideration. Meanwhllo wo express our
strong sense of tho caro that ought to
be tnken in making sure that no ono
undertakes the obligations of community
llfo without having, ns far as human
Judgment can ascertain It, a real voca
tion from God. Whether God means a
particular person to llvo In this particu
lar way Is the preliminary question to
be. determined by the person who asks
to be admitted Into a community and by
tho authority of tho community that ad
mits that person. We havo requested
the committee to continue Its labors,
nnd wo commend tho Report to the nt
tentlon of the church.
THE UNITY OF THE CHURCH.
On tho Unity of tho Church our com
mittee has not been able to propose any
resolutions wnicn would bind us to Im
mediate further action. A commltteo
has been appointed to open correspond
ence with a view to establish a clearer
understanding and closer relations with
tho churches of the East. Tho arch
bishop of Canterbury has been requested
to appoint committees to look Into tho
position of tho Unltas Fratrum and tho
Scandinavian church, with both of which
we desire to cultivate tho most friendly
posslblo relations. Wo recommend also
that every opportunity bo taken to em
phasize tho Dlvtno purposo of visible
unity amongst Christians as a fact of
revelation. Wo recommend that commit
tees of bishops bo appointed everywhere
to watch for and originate opportunities
of united prayer and mutual conference
between representatives of different
Christian bodies, nnd to give counsel
where counsel may bo nsked: these com
mittees to report to tho next Lambeth
conference what hns been accomplished
In this matter.
Above nil, we. urgo tho duty of special
Intercession for the unity of the church
In accordance with tho Lord's Own Pray
er, as recorded in the Gospel ot St. John.
