B REV. STEPHEN PAULSON
O
Text. He maketh the winds his mes
tengers; his ministers a flaming fire. Pa.
.04:4.
And Jacob went on h!s way and the
nessengrera of God met him. Gen. 32:1.
There are two supreme realities in
the universe God and man. From
time to time messages are exchanged
between them and that is religion.
When man speaks to God it is prayer
and worship. When God speaks t6
man it is guidance and inspiration.
What God did once for prophets and
apostles. He does for merchants and
husbandmen.
Not that God's messengers always
speak with human voices. He speaks
through man's inner consciousness,
through memory, through some inci
lent or occurrence in your life. , To
David God spoke by the sad and stern
prophet. To Solomon He spoke
through . fear; . to Peter through a
simple meal spread .on the shore of
the lake. And so every day God's
messengers stand at the door of your
soul, bringing encouragement or
warning, or overtures of love "
; i
The voice of conscience in man's
oul is the voice of God. "What a won
lerful picture of the accusatory power
af conscience is drawn in Shakes
peare's tragedy of Macbeth. After ac
complishing his purpose on Duncan
Macbeth goes into his wife's roomTand
locks the door. It is midnight and the
stars are shining brightly, and it is
jo still that they can hear each other's
heart beat. But .Macbeth hears foot
steps approaching the door, and a
voice , which says: "Sleep no more;
Macbeth hath murdered sleep." Like
Jacob the guilty king had met God's
messengers, and evermore he was to
hear in the night the footfall of the
unseen pursuer, that Nemesis which
was upon his track. Oh, it is a long
md thrilling journey that man makes
through life, and every day the mes
sengers of God meet him, and some
times he heeds their message, but
aften he takes his own way and wan
lers off into the desert.'
The life drama of which this meet
ing with the divine messengers is a
part, has to do with the education of
Jacob. He had deceived his aged and
blind father, robbed his brother, and
is now fleeing from his wrath. He is
tn the desert and is overcome by re
morse, and he fears that armed men
may overtake him and bring him back
to punishment. In that day he prayed
that night might come and hide him.
When night fell he was alone -with
nature and God. The stars abwve him
seemed to pierce into his soul like
accusing eyes. He knelt and prayed
and then he fell into a troubled slum
ber. And it seemed to him that a
bright star lengthened into a long
beam of light that reached to the
aarth, and the beam of light broad
ened into a stair up which the angels
3f God took his prayer and penitence,
ind down which they brought encour
agement and mercy. And hope began
to 'stir in his heart that God might
pardon his sins, and that in God's mer
:y he might redeem the future.
How human and real is this chapter
in the story of a man's soul; It might
be a page torn out of our own biog
raphy. The epoch of divine messen
gers is not gone. There is no life so
isolated, no talent so small, but that
3od has for it his message and pur
pose. In the rlverthat flows to' the
sea, the Individual droioses its iden
tity, but in the great river of human
ity that flows to eternity, there is no
ioss of individual identity. Each soul
is. as it were a separate star divided
by millions of miles from its neighbor.
"Jacob went on his way and the
messengers of God met him." It is
your own story. Do not look for some
great manifestation when God speaks
to you. When God made Himself
(mown to Elijah a great earthquake
ihook the foundations of the moun
tains, but God was not in the earth
quake; and a fire come which blis
tered the rocks, but God was not in
the fire; and a windstorm came which
uprooted the trees, and God was not
In the storm; and there came a still,
small voice, and God was in that still
imall voice.
So the messengers of God come to
you in the still small voice of dally
axperience. Memory bears in her
arms the Bheaves of the yesterday,
and It is to you a messenger of God.
alone in the desert, Jacob remem
bered his past life with all its sordid
meanness. The faces of his aged par
ents and of his wronged brother came
up before him. Some men's sins go
before them into judgment and some
march like caravans under the guld
mce of memory.
What an illustrated volume is the
book of memory. In this very mo
ment you may open it upon your lap.
rhere is the old house where you
were born, and here are the faces of
(tout playmates. Now you walk old
paths, and now you look upon tht
faces of friends separated from yoi
by many years. What magic is here!
Vet what sacred ministry.
In the desert Jacob feared the con
sequences of his misdeeds, and fea: .
may also be a messenger of God. J
wise man of old said: "The fear of ttu
Lord Is the beginning of wisdom." I
is wisdom indeed that fears to d
wrong, that turns man from evil pur
poses. Such fear may save a man':
3oul, even as the warning of dacgei
at the edge of a precipece may sav
man's life.

Lesson Text Matthew 24:32-61. Memory
verse 44.
Golden Text "Watch and Pray, that
ye enter not into temptation." Mat t,
2C:41.
The disciples had accepted Jesus as
the Messiah and chosen the way
which led to the establishment of the
kingdom of God. But they were in the
meantime to endure great temptations
and difficulties; wars, famines, tribu
lations, hatred, prisons, death, disas
ters, earthquakes, pestilences, disci
pies waxing cold, false prophets aris
ing, stars falling, the sun darkened,
the moon turned into blood, the pow
ers of heaven shaken, 'Euch as had
not been from the beginning of the
world" then, Christ says to his dis
ciples, "when tese things begin to
come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draw
eth nigh; It Is near even at the doors."
And he also adds, Watch therefore.
Be ye also ready. For ye know not on
what day your Lord cometh.
The parable' of the fig tree is a
beautiful illustration showing us that
while we cannot know when Christ is
coming, we have warnings so as to be
on guard, as the first signs of spring
bid us prepare for the summer. This
generation, that is while some who
were listening to him should still be
alive, as he himself said.
The time to watch is at the' begin
ning of the course that leads to these
results. The day of judgment Is the
end of the course; the choice lies at
the beginning.
Those really watched who so fore
saw the future and the true ideal of
their lives, that from the beginning
they went on toward It by the only
path that led to it. They were faith
ful In every duty. They served their
Lord by obedience. They resisted ev
ery temptation. They were on their
guard against every wile of the devil.
They were wide awake, with eyes
open to every opportunity, to the signs
of the times, to new ways and means,
and possibilities.
"Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find so do
ing. Verily I jsay unto ?ou, , That he
shall make him ruler over all his
goods." To those who so watched was
entrusted the kingdom of heaven, for
themselves and for the world.
Those failed to watch who were so
absorbed, in their own selfl3h pleas
ures and gains that they neglected
their duties, forgot their Master's In
terests, were eye-servants. This folly
was intensified by beginning "to eat
and drink with the drunken." They
took the road that led to destruction.
Rev. S. W. Hanks, a second or third
cousin of Abraham Lincoln, years ago
devised a most vivid temperance lec
ture called "The Black Valley Rall:
road," which he Illustrated by a large
chart. It is given in a book called
The Crystal River."
The Land of the Crystal River is
the land which all children enter when
they come Into this world.
To live In the Land of the Crystal
River, the land of temperance, of self
control, of good character, of highest
usefulness, of prosperity, of religion,
of heaven, should be the hope and the
aim of everyone.
The Black Valley country is situat
ed In an extensive lowland, lying be
tween an elevated and extremely fer
tile and beautiful region, called the
Land of. the Crystal River, bounding
it upon its upper limits-and a vast and
unexplored desert forming its lower
boundary. Vice and crime abound. In
numerable drunkards and criminals
are found there. Prisons and poor
houses take the place of churches and
school houses.
The man in the conning tower at
the Junction of the Black Valley rail
road with the railroad to temperance,
would guide all youthful travelers to
the better way. He urges all to seek
the highest and best life.
We are building a house for our
selves, a body in which we must live,
and a character in which our soul
must abide. God would have us pos
sess a perfect" body, and to put away
everything which Injures health, which
brings weakness or disease. He would
have us form a noble character of
which we will not be ashamed, which
will fit us for heaven and usefulness,
and the company of the good. We can
not cheat God, but we can cheat our
selves. By using strong drink In any
quantity whatever wte are skimping,
degrading, making poor and weak the
house we have got to live in.
Every drunkard was once an inno
cent child. Every one was first a mod
erate drinker. No one ever yet be
came a drunkard who refused to touch
Intoxicating drink. Not all who drink
moderately do become drunkards, but
no one ever became a drunkard who
did not first drink moderately.
It is terrible to let a habit begin in
youth which will impel us to go on do
Ing wrong against reason, against the
power to help others, against love of
God, of man, and of country.
"The story is told of a rich young
man who sat at a dinner table with a
lumber of friends, and babbled drunk
m foolishness all the long evening.
5ne of his friends wa a court stenog
rapher. Seised by an idea for the
ieip of his friend, he stenograph ically
eported every worrt that the latter
ittered. The next day be had these
otes transcribed and, sent to the man
'lroself. The latter, shocked, could
carcely believe that . he himself had
