Wilbur Chapman TJie an Old Testament Story as a Parallel to Illustrate the "Great Blessings Tfe lle ceire From Our Heavenly Father, , ; New York City. The following ser mon is one of a series prepared some time since by'the Kev. J)r. J. Wilbur Chapman; thAclib'tingmVhed evangelist. It is entitled '"Tiic lpper' aud the -Xether- Springs,' arid -was preached f torn the text "And he gave her ' the upper springs and the nether springy." Joshua xv.: 19. - ; ' V Half Avav bet ween llenron and Becrshe , ba there songe - stood the ancient , eity ;of i Debir. It -was the ciry of brains and -books nd the centre of intellectual "culture of the oidcn' day?. Atr the same point now may be seen a rude assemblage of stone hovels, many of which are half standing, but the others, are, entirely broken down. . p. fc;f ()rti of Hie names ' iriven to this .'city. beitis translated, means the City ot Brooksi or ox learning what Athens was to Greece j "the city of Debir was to southern 1'aies ,7'tiae. ,K was supposed, that all. the records of antiquity of- the nation were -stored1 there. 1 1' was, indeed a famousplace. i " Caleb, the jsou of Hezron, of the tribe of Judah. was very .anxious to secure posses sion of the city. It is this fact which gives rise to the text. Uis name is very familiar Ja'ii.a.. Hv w;ts one of the twelve spies ai-iit by biases over into Canaan, and he and Joshua were the only two born in Egypt who were given the privilege of en tering, Canaan, with the possible' exception of the Levitcs, and that, not only because they Jiad brought a truthful report of the land they had explored, but were also vill jing to take God at His. word, and put all i their trust in Him. - ;--." i . Forty-five years after, when the wander ings were , over, Caleb' applied to Joshua for the share of the land which had been promised him, and among other portions there was granted to him Debir, the city of learning. It was still, however; the strohg 4 ' hold of the; giants of Canaan, and must be captured to be possessed. 7 4 s ? f ;' i Caleb tlien ma'de the proposition that he jwald give his daughter Achsah in niar riage to any one who. was ableto take the , city; and oneOthniel, who had been much of a warrior, for he had delivered the chil dren of Israel from the King of Mesopota mia, marched against Debir. After a great struggle the gates were broken down, the . giants were? captured or driven away, and the City of Books lay. at the feet of the conqueror. When the victory was won Caleb was as good as his word, and his daughter was given in marriage to the sol dier. With her he also gave as an inherit ance, a peculiar piece of property, known as '"The South Land' valuable for some reasons, but it was mountainous and sloped southward toward the deserts of Arabia, the hot winds of. which again and again swept across it. Before Achsah left her fathers' house she besought him for his blessing. The south land was not enough, ehe would also have springs of water, and Caleb vesponded at once, and gave hr more than she had '"asked, for we read in the text: "He gave her the upper springs ami the nether springs." From an exceed ingly fertile territory the land wa chosen. .... It contained no. less than fourteen sprin.. ' The' valley was beautiful, for look wVeh way you wowld you could see them u.-hing. .. forth.,: .Their 'presence in the field v.cnnt t, ; not only a: blessing for the field in- whleli 'they "'were found, but for all the country - around them. : I find. in this beautiful ftory a good illus ; tratioh?of all -that": we receive from our Father. - " ' ' a :' -' ; ;A11 that has been bestowed upon us is as vociated with victory and that was v. on by J Him whose name was called in the pro phets the Conqueror. It was for Him a v fierce struggle but He came off more than . conqueror. Then, after that, He was called the bridegroom of the church, which is to s be His bride, and nvith' Him we have re ; ceived not only the gift of salvation, but in Hira we are also blessed with all spiritual "blessings. Paul gives us this when he "write? to the Ephesians. "Blessed be the God and Father of 'our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings int heavenly j? places in Christ Jes-ab I. C starts His fcliildien in this world as Caleb started his dauahter. with an in- -heritance. No one is so poor but God has given-him something. ; Some have taken the inheritance and treated it as the man with the five talents, they have gained other . jfivc also; others like the man with one talent, have wrapped it in a napkin, and so they leave the world as poor, as when they entered it. God has been very good to us. He has given us this world with all its beanty, its green pas . tures, its still waters, its rivers and its seas, its, starry canopv-j stretching out above xtie world is lined with fornPM nf nil Irinrla bat man has seemed to gain control over them, until to-day1 he" stands himself like ft conquerer m the Pndst of them all.. .But the inheritance is better than that, He has given US all the faculties of mind and all the powers of body. The mind, the lien t, uie nandjf., ine ieetno one is sent into the world a pauper. God has thus placed a fortune in the grasp of every child of His. It is such a great thing to ave a mmd, for with It man is able to eearch the deep things of God and really taker hold of the thou orb f. nf fhp "Rf The science of geometry was worked out irom a few Simnle nnnHnlpa v F.nolid 'and Archimedes, by pure reasoning out of their-minds, and on the sands of the floor Of - the TOOm .whero thv wpm cfiiHtTinor Archimedes traced the curves in which, ac cording to science, the heavenly bodies must move.

'". ''"- ' - -'" ' ,;;'xWe have eennthe -fields in the time of a drought looking parched and apparently dead and worthless, and then suddenly, almost Jn the night, the meadows were clothed with ' greeny and the grain lifted up its head rejoicing, all because the rain . had ;.f alien: But in this nether spring of the gospel there is a more marvelous power than that he who comes to drink of its waters goes away with new life, and" liis whole ' nature is changed. The an cients behoved in the existence of a spring in which; if a person bathed, he would renew his youth and live forever. We have f ovfnd that spring to-day in the text; for "The gift of God is eternal life." 4,The Bible is . all a-sparkle with well and springs, rivers and seas. They toss up their brightness from almost every chapter. And water is many times the type or figure ot that which enlivens,' beautifies ana giveg new life." : ' Solomon, refreshed by the . story of heaven, exclaims, "As cold water to a thirsty souk so is good news from j a far country." Isaiah, speaking of the blessed ness ot the children of God, writes, "They shall spring as willows from the water courses." The prophet, glowing with the thought of the millenium. says, "Streams shall break forth from the desert." , The mission of water, in this world is to bless and satisfy, refresh and help. "But all the waters that ever leaped in the tor rents, or foamed in the cascade, or fell in the summer shower, or hung in the morn ing dew. have given no such comfort to the troubled heart, no snch rest and refresh ment to the sin-sick soul, as that which may be drawn by you and by me from the nether spring of the gospel." ,1 , It is a good type of illustration of the gosnel because of its brightness. Yet here it fails of giving us perfect description or idea, for where can you find such bright ness as gleams in this nether spring? "David, unable to put it into words, plays it on his harp. Christopher Wren, unable to put it into language, springs it in the. arches of St. Paul's. Bunyan, fail ing to present it in ordinary story; put it in tlio form of nllegory, which lives on to day with constant'- increasing power. Ha:xle'. .with ordinary music . unable to reach the height ailkl sound the depth, of rise theme, thrills us with his oratoro." (), th.; tjlttflr.e.ss, the brightness, the joy nn uttciab'e 1n that li'e which is hid with Christ in Cod. And this I may drink in as come to, the nether snruis. . here is no life' on earth so happv as the Christian's. Take"-the humblest -'child of (iod3ou know., and Avhv 'shouldn't he happy? Accordina to the Bible he is all the time under, the shaiow of God's wings, it he walks the ange.s bear him un: if lie sleeps they let down ladders from the skies, up and down which the angels go to and fro, bringing down blessings of God, and bearing awav his Heavy burdens. w ny, to get within 'the door of the king dom, to have, a place, not the nearest, but on the very oufer circle, to bear the lowest title of all the redeemed, to he the weakest child of all the family of God, to be the dimmest jewel in Hi crown of rejoicing. to be, the least, yea, less than least of all the saints i a Jiope which sets the heart a-singm.g. Ail tins x hnd and more, a thousand tinics woi;ox as I stoop and drink at the nether snrincs. v Water is also like the gospel in its power to refresh. I remember the River Jordan the day wlien. Naardan came to its banks with his leprosy. I see him going down into its waters, once, twice, three times. and then on until he had, according to the instructions of the servant of God backed seven times, and then, marvelous change! his llesh became as it were the flesh ot a little child. But here is a creater chancre for the sin ful soul- who will come to the nether spring. . Jlere came JNewton, and Ieit be hind him his sins which were as scarlet. Here came Bunyan, cursing with every step until lewd people rebuked him, and he went away, so changed that he gave to the world the book that stands in the esti mation of some next to the Bible for sweet- ness and power. - Here came Magdalen and 1 flip--Philinnlan iai'W VnnnhxPna nrl poor trembling thief on the cross, and thev drank ot the waters and stand to-riav m the .company of the redeemed. ' I stand "by the side of the waters to-day,' and with all the tenderness of a saved, sin ner, with all the assurance of a pardoned child of God, with all the alarm of a friend who sees his friends and. neighbors going ( down to death, away fromthe living wat ers, I bid you come, come, come; "Whoso ever will, let him come." s? JV' It is a marvelous spring: of which I sneak. I recall the fact that when the Master met the man who was blind from his birthHe anointed his eyes with clav and spittle and inen iom mm 10 go wasn m tne pool ot Siloam; and when he had washed he came seeing: I imagine that first of all he saw the face of the Master Himself. This is the power of the nether soring of the cos- pel. The touch of its waters will cause the scales to drop from our eves, and we shall be able to see the wondrous things written in the book'Of God, and not only so, but we shall have given unto us the vision, of the face of the Master Himself, It is not strange that we are unable.' m tour sinful conaition,, to see tnmgs as tney are in the i i - ... - . . . i kingdom of God, for we are blind. But if you will only come with vour blindness to I the nether.- snrincrf voir nnnll I it has healing power, and we are not onlv i savea irora,xne'guiic;oi sin. but We mav iuuv uv ..ot , tuut its power.

V Found in Gerar by- Isaac, they make the field fruitful in abundance. Bursting forth in Lebanon, thejrsend their waters down the mountain side, and as they go ' through the valley they make it the very synonym of f ruittulness. Closely akin to that is what the nether spring of the gospel does for us. No one knows the fulness of hia'own being until he is filled with the influence and power of the, gospel. You walk, in the month of J anuary, over the most fertile place in "a field or through the forest, and ybu will see the illustration of. what man is in his" natural state. The parth l'a full nf roots and the trees are full of buds, all of which are closely bandaged so that they can not expand, out wnen ui5 spring time comes the roots in the earth commence to push forward and the buds on the trees begin to unfold, jmd; in a very little time all nature is rejoicing. - What a marvelous change, simply because the roots have been warmed by the sun and kissed by the light! and yet it is not worthy to be compare! with a change which might , be wrought in you, if you will but come to the nether spring and drink of its life-giving waters, for there you will meet Him who has said: "I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly." f -i'.v'i; "t'7 " -' III. I wish I might be able to make plain to you all that there is so much more to the Christian , life than simply being saved. That is only the beginning. The whole experience stretches away from that point, and gets brighter and brighter as the days go by. With the hope that we might learn the lesson together to-day lt have brought before you" these two springs. Whether the strict exegesis of the text will allow the interpretation or not, I am very sure that all will agree that it is a perfect illustration. To drink; at the nether spring is salvation, but to drink at the up per spring is a high privitege that is of fered, to every child of God. I could bring so many . passages of Scripture to you which . would serve as an illustration of what ; I mean. Take Ephesians i: 3: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath" blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus." Or, Col. ii: 12: "Buried with Him in bap tism, wherein also ye are risen with Him, through, the faith of the operation of God; who hath raised Him from the dead." Or, take Col. iii: 1-3: "If ye then be risen with Christ,' seek those things which are ' above,; where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth r For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." ; Or, take Phil, iii: 20: "For our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the ' Saviour, 1 the Lord Jesus Christ." " . I would that we, might all drink at the upper spring. What peace would then fill our hearts! - When wc drink at the lower spring' we come to be at peace with God, but when we learn to drink also at the upper spring 'we have the peace of God, and. there is a great difference between the two. It is something like the differ ence between a microscope and a telescope. With the first we can see things near, and in a bulk not larger than a grain of sand I can find a thousand million aniraalculae, but -with -the latter I can see things afar off. I can actually study the Milky Way, which is removed from me thousands and thousands of miles; At the nether spring, first of all, I see mvself and all my sinful ness; then I see Christ in all His righteous ness; then I hear Him say that though myosins be like scarlet they shall be as white as snow, and there at the nether spring I am made wholes -but withthe up er spring it -U different. Like the teie scope it is all about the things which are above,-and as I --drink at its waters I find myself being lifted above this world, and my conversation, not only, but my very life, may be in the heavenlies. .1 And the .way to this upper spring is pointed out, very plainly to us. I remem ber the dream of Jacob as he was going from Beersheba to Haran. It was of the ladder which was set upon earth, the top ox which reacnea up to neaven. l ins ladder is set for us.rlt reaches to the very brink of the upper spring. . The ladder is Christ: His feet rest, nrmn th earth. His brow is bound with the glory of heaven. The events'of His earthly Ufe arc the earthward end of the ladder": His uivmuy,- xiis nnisied JMessiahship, His perpetual priesthood the" topmost end. In aui.-3iaiiui.iLy a me was raging., it was thought that all tlie inmates had .been saved, when tb the horror of the hvs ers two children were sceii standing at a muu-siory Avmaow. itwas before the days of the almost perfect appliances for j-iiu paving or jives, two ladder were hurriedly spliced together and lifted to the side of the building. There was' a shout of terror when it 'was found that the ladder lacked six feet of. reaching the children. In a moment a brave fireman was mounting the ladder; he reached the topmost round, and thpn stnr.fi fm. o ment balancing himself until he had caught luc 7jw sin with his hand, and thea over, his body, which supplied the gap be twen the ladder and windnw n0 came slowly down until outstretched hands in gaiety And this is what , uesus nrist did tor you and for t hewWas 110 W for-us back to Anrl tto. tIG Were tranged from God. And then He came m TTJo iny.n4.: j on the platform erected by the patriarchal, legal and prophetic dispensation. He stood WiJSXT' S :If13,0y? reaching up wnt d8' H t00k Jold of God and the way was made complete. And so it has come to pass that not only in Chrst we are saved, but it is also true that we mount by w;S.jntA jiS?1 secret place of the Most spnng thls 13 drinking at the upper. t'rtTAUf sect of this great blessing is fS1d ,abl,4in in Christ. -Dr, Gor S?mJ toielli.a 1,ttle circumstance which came beneath his eyes in- New; England, r?J,esents,.t0 U3 a figure, of it all. iwo little, saplings grew side - by: side, -hrough the action of the wind they crossed each other. By and bv the bark ot each became wounded and the sap be gan to mingle, until 'in some still day they became united to each other., This pro cess went Qn more and more until they were firmly compacted. Then the stronger began to absorb the life from the weaker; it grew stronger while the other grew weaker and weaker, until finally it dropped away and then disappeared. And now there are two , trunks at the bottom and only one at the top. Death has? taken away the one, life has triumphed in the other. . ... . - . : r , ' CreetlB ana Doctrinei.
