Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1874-02-02

vening, Rev Mr.. Gilleland, a blind man. n''
ctured at the Kim street Baptist Church, ho,
hing for his subject, the words of the 18th III
eis,, oath chapter Of Joshua-.Chose ye in,
his day whom ye will serve" He said, ne
rem of Israel, whether they would serve :
rod or heather idols. Their fathers serv
ID, it is said, other gods. God was very
in bringing the children out of the
louse of bondage and giving them liberty in ,.o
he promised land. They preferred to serve r.
bod. In the Staying Of the first born, they III
we're spared SO. they had good reasons why er
hey should To-day" chose whom they
gould serve. Should they chose an heather 5
God, God would be angry. If they served ?
him, he would be pleased with them, This !
question is just as applicable at the present l.
day as then.
God has done very much for us as people :
of the nation. God has given a
us liberties, enjoyment of privileges which r r
have come from the light of his truth, We Il
have blessings which many to-day, who in /.
darkness, have not the light and privileges
Of the Gospel and who are debarred Of him,
Civilization has not come from an advanced
morality but from the word of God. Where
religion is pure, there we find morality Is
pure. God has blessed us with the use of
books. He has put into our hands his
word, that we can read and understand. We
are under obligation to God as nation and
as country He has planted here and es-
tablished a nation, whereby we worship ac'
cording to the dictates of our conscience as
we are taught in his word; land where we
can worship him unmolested by the hand OF
man. We, as American people are very
foolish people. 1t is considered at the same
time that church going members are foolish
in their way. Why is it that in every two or |
four wears, there is time of excitement
The choosing or appointing Of a person to rule
us-to serve US. There is day after day OF
enmity, all kinds of tumult made in order
that one man may be secured. We are max
ing choice for some one to rule us, not on
| ly in national affairs but in private matters.
1t is so in churches, schools and colleges
} Why not take as much pains in striving to
, chose whom we will serve for our future
welfare? We serve very much the interests
! of this world and we 60 SO far that when
, anything happens that brings praise, renown
and fame to us, that we can spread abroad,
. how apt we are to serve the world Some-
times those who give the most, have their
!. nam es published far and near, but the man
who gives a little pittance is hardly heard oil.
70 When we come to serve God, we must come
8; humble. The question comes home to US TO-,
A. day,-whom are we serving, God or satan
j; Your actions show whom you chose. Has
}; Satan ever done anything to benefit you 2
