to ai children, that an may do
aU Um worde of this taw? Ho aaid:
A mated astronomer ones aaid: “I Kara
searched tha Stan, bat I Bad aa Ood." A
noted philosopher mid, “If than is an infi
nite, a an anti Ood, Ha ia unknowable.”
Materialistic science. and rational uh.l
osophe haea tana ah ted the erned of ag
noatleisas, via.: that Ood ia unknown and
unknowable. It sounds conaerrativa, mod
sat and wiao. But it ia not really now.
One of tha ancients wrote ia Um long ago,
"Canat thoo. by searching, find cart Godf
Canat than know tba Almighty onto per

clevsr agnostic. Tba Hebrew lawgiver
writes, "The secret things belong unto
tba Lord oat Ood.?-.
If Qod bo the Infinite. Eternal tnd Ab
eolate, itJa impossible to comprehend and
explain film. There muat alwayi be di
mension* of mystery unknown and un
knosrabl* in Him. Tha astronomer never
expects to find the vail* of the universe.'
Thor* is always the unknown beyond. If
spaea and time stagger tbe imagination
can we aver hone to bring the eternal Ood
completely within the range of human
conception? Wo are all agnostics. Even
Christiana worship at tba altar of lbs su
per knowsbie God. U ia no discredit to
the theist that ha cannot tall the day of
God’s birth. Wo need not distress our
selves bees am we cannot walk about God
and know Hit di-meter and circumference.
He ic unknowable.
Hot because set cannot Know ail, man
w* rest content to know nothing? Tha
scientist la aware that ha cam nerve know
it all. Does 1m there foie break hit instru
ments and contest himself to abide in ig
norance? Ha know* in part. He mil
know more, though be never know* it all.
So, concerning God. there ora things that
may be known. The mynts y of the un
known it the very charm of eternity. The
ages will ever clothe themselves with new
garments of myitery.
How.may. wa know God? God ta a
spirit and' most ha spiritually known. John
fUt, apeak tag of the spectroscope, call*
it “an addition to owr senses." All our
inventions art extensions to our tenses.
There is auto-racing, aoto-haoriat, auto
feeling. Tyndale said, "The silence of
the forest at noonday in agitated with
sound, if wa could only hear it." Then
are soma things tslaacopieslly discerned,
•Chan, microscopically and spectroscopi
cally. Without those they are not «Ua
cerned at all. Why docs one man only
glance at a picture, and pats on, white
another will study it by the hour? Why
will some pcopte bare the music hall,
while others ate held spellbound by tha
symphony? Because time tllisp are art
istically discerned and others moetcaDy.
Tbqyc most he the subjective {acuity to
appreciate objective genius.
Why do some men go through life with
out any sense of reverence.' worship and
prayer, white others bow in humility and
adoration to one whom they call God? Be
cause God is spiritually discerned. The
natural man reeeireth not the things of
God, neither can he know them. He is
lacking the soul's telescope, microscope,
spectroscope, etc. Natal al devices cannot
discover n imiiitnal Ood.
The study of man himself presents a
faints analogy of this troth. Science stud
tea the human body: articulates tha skele
ton; knows the nervous system; explain)
organisation. But docs the anatomist die
cover the r -ole man? Does be find that
sovereign—tha will. Uic magistrate—the
conscience, the artist—the imagiaation. the
orchestra—toe emotions, the libra nan—the
memory? They are ail there, hot the in
struments of physical dissection da not
discover them. They are mentally dis
cerned. When spintaal men. as such,
pronounce upon physical science, they be
come fools. And when materialists, ae
seek, pronounce - upon spiritual thing)
they likewise turn out folly. One qua lift

Thu purpose of learning to know Owl. la.
to obtain tbe Ufa eternal. When Kepler,
the astronomer, after many failures, finally
discovered tbe laws ol planetary motion he
fell upon hia kuaea end cried: “I thank
Thus, O God, that I am thinking The
thoughts over after Thee." This knowl
edge made him partner with the tlimmht
of the eternal Ood. So every truth exper
imentally discerned puts ua into nvrtner

The range of-tblnea thna knowable la
eery wide. Only e few of them mey be
suggested. We may know tbe forgiveness
of our sin*. W* are made .ootiariosi of
our sinfulara* through tb* exercise of our
ccnacienea end our inability to overtake
what we know to be the ideal. But when

Xext “we know that wc have passed
from death unto life.” Such a transition
to mad* on all plane* of life. A new cli
mate help* some men lo pass from death
to life in body. Education enable* men to
paw from deatii to life mental)*. Society
sometime* causes men to pas* from death
tu life morally. Tbe development of latent
eeuius makes invn pa«a from death unto
life. So the touch of God's spirit awakens
new idea!*, affections and oaaaibilitiet, and
tbe lov* of a spiritual society evidences a
passage from death unto lif*.
“We know that all thing* work t.wether
for good to them that love God." This to
not self-evident, si we take e narrow view
of mortal life. But when w* see the wider
range* we learn it is so. There mey be ex
periences which darken the scene and
plunge the judgment into panic. .Taaeplt
while beine led a slave to Rgynt could not

But afterward they eaw it to lie so. The
glory which Moses saw was not some hia
Trotli form, hut ntlher that all the past
history sat transfigured with God's pres
ence and favor. It i* the backward look
that give* ua'this tmurmacr. “Wc know
that if our earthly bona* of thto body be
dissolved we hare a building of God • • •
eternal in tb* hearts*.” That to. w* know
that wc lure an immortal destinr af eter
nal life. Subjectively w* know that every
appetite lias its satisfaction llunrvr «*

God cruntua a fin on tb* fuh lie make* an
element for it to swim in. It He fashion*
a wing. He supplies the air for it to fly In,
Surely these lower appetites are not grati

hath brought Ilf* and immortality lo light
through the gospel." Ilie resurrection net

nor deetinv. Let u* study earnestly I lie

will, and we shall krnw in part now r.nd

rmakaia Uau Dallnr OoV< M hmis
Some recent events lun led to a reviv
al of the "broad Church" plea that a
preacher should apeak oat aD that lie be
lieve* to be the troth, without fear of the
longregatiorviod unfettered by ortho
doxy **. Thi* franknessi h
supposed to bf warranted by Paul’s word,
"as of siaervitjr • • we apeak." The
whole erapbxria la nut upon "sincerity."
But the tint emphasis should not lie
placed there. Sincerity ia. of roaree, au
absolutely essential thing in a preacher,
bot fidelity it a prime Mafntial. A mau
may be sincerely mistaken, aud hia mis
take may have far-reaching consequence*
of ill for others.
Tba firtt easenlial ia fidelity to trust.
Tbe lint buxine** of a Christian teacher
ia to receive Ilia message, and then, am
cerely, to transmit it. Tbe fundamentals
of that message are permanently fixed—
they are hi*torical—and no plea of “ein
eenty" must be allowed to interfeio with
them. If tbe rhsef emplsaaia be placed
upon subjective sincerity, the door is eas
ily opened to every heresy and every fad.
This, in tad. ia what has happened titan
without number.
It is sometimes asserted that tba
"charchea art empty" 1 meaner people will
not believe in the miraculous. We are
bound to object to the statement; it ia
not true. Bat it is. unfortunately. true
that many "occupants of the naves" are
in a state of amazement at the fiugrant
contradiction between the truth* an
nounced week by week in tlie Creed, and
the-deninls of. these truths. *r the waterio-j
