DO you know the name Of the biggest
giant that yen can possibly meet-and You
will meet him9 He is not eleven feet high,
but one hundred feet high His bedstead
is as long as the continent. His name is
Doubt. His common food is infidel books
and skeptical lectures and ministers who
do not know whether the Bible is inspired
at all or inspired in spots, and Christians
who are more infdel than Christian You
will never reach the Promised Land unless
you slay that giant. Kill Doubt or Doubt
will kill you. How to overcome this
gianty Pray for faith, go with people who
have faith, read everything that enconr-
ages faith, avoid as you would ship fever
and sr'allpok the people who lack faith.
In this battle against King Og use not for
weapons the crutch of limping Christian
or the sharp pen of "A controversialst, but
the sword of truth, which is the word OF
God The word "ff' is made up of the
same number Of letters as the word "Og,"
and it is just as big giant II the Bible
be true. II the soul be immortal. II
Christ be God If our belief and behavior
here decide our future destiny. II. H. H.
hate that word 'Tf" Noah Webster
says it is a conjunction; say il is an armed
giant Satan breathed upon it a curse
when he said to Christ, .'lf thou be the
Son of God" What dastardly and in
famous III Against that giant "If''
hurl jobs II know" and Panl's II know"
II know that my Redeemer liveth." 81
know in whom | have believed" Down
with the "lf'' and up with 81 know"
Oh, that giant Doubt is such cruel
giant 1t attacks many in the last hour
1t could not let my mother alone even in
her dying moments After life Of holi
ness and conservation such as never heard
of in any one else, she said 10 my father,
Father, what if, after all, our prayers
and struggles should go for nothing"
Why could she not, after all the trials and
sicknesses and bereavements Of long life
and the in6rmities of old age, be allowed
TO 90 without such cruel stroke from
Doubt the giantY Do you wonder have
a grudge against the old MONASTERY II ]
could would give him a bigger bounce
than Satan got when, hurled out Of
heaven the first thing he struck was the
bottom of perdition.
THE CHURCH MUST PREVAIL.
Another impression from my subject:
The march of the church cannot be i'm
peded by gigantic opposition. That Israel
itish host led on by Moses was the church. |
and when Og, the giant (hm Of the iron
bedstead), came out against him with an
other host-a fresh host against one that |
seemed worn out-things must have looked |
bad for Israel No account is given Of the |
bedstead Of Moses, except that one in
which he first slept-the cradle Of aquatic |
vegetation on the Nile, where the wife of /
Chelephres, the king found the floating |
babe and, having no child Of her own,
adopted him Moses of ordinary size |
against Og of extraordinary dimensions. |
Besides that Og was backed up by sixty /
fortified cities Moses was backed up
seemingly by nothing but the desert that
had worn him and his army into group
of undisciplined and exhausted stragglers.
But the Tsrnelites triumphed. If you spell
the name Of Og backward you turn it into
the word Co and Og was turned back
ward and made TO go.
With Og's downfall all the sixty cities
surrendered Nothing was left Of the giant
except his iron bedstead which was kept
in museum at Rabbath to show how tall
and stout he once was So shall the last
giant Of opposition in the church's march
succumb. Not sixty cities captured, but
all the cities. Not only ON one side Of Jor-
dan. but ON both sides OF all the rivers
