ToPIc.-Right and wrong ways OF seeking
Eccl. i, l2-lS; Math. ii. I'll.
The illustrations Of seeking which we
have in our references are both taken
from the lives of wise men The first
case is that Of Solomon, the wisest Of
the ancient kings, and the other is that
Of the three wise men Of the east who
came to worship Christ where He was
born at Bethlehem. Itwould be natural
ly supposed perhaps that the methods
and results Of the searches Of wise men
would be similar; but, however, this
was far from being the case, and this is
still seen today. The wisdom of some
men today leads them to Him who Is
all wise, and the wisdom Of others leads
to an opposite result. The difference in
results is due to the difference in the
ways by which men seek There is
wrong way and right way for seeking
God. He who seeks in the wrong way
will not find Him, but he who seeks in
the right way will find Him.
/. The wrong way of seeking. This
is illustrated in the case Of Solomon.
Solomon was a wise man. God had
given him great wisdom. In trying to
find an explanation for the things of
this world, or, we may say practically,
in seeking for the higher life, Solomon
used his own personal wisdom. He
says, IT gave my heart to seek and to
search out by wisdom concerning all
things that are done under heaven.
And Solomon was sorely disappointed
He did not find the peace and rest to
his soul for which he was undoubtedly
seeking. The reason was simply be-
cause he sought in the wrong way-in
what we may call mans way. Many
men today are making Solomon's mis-
take. They are seeking for peace and
rest, but in human ways and are disap-
pointed, as he was.
2. The right way of seeking. This is
illustrated in the case Of the wise men.
And how did they seek? In Gods way.
They simply followed the star that God
had placed before them. They did not
use their own wisdom to find the Saw
iour, but followed in the path that di-
vine wisdom placed before them. And
they were not disappointed They found
Christ. They found peace. rest, joy
and salvation. If we are seeking these
things, how are we seeking them? Only
one way is right, and that is Gods.
His spirit can guide us when we cannot
guide ourselves. Let us trust Him.
Let us follow in the path that He marks
out before us, and we will not go
wrong.

Gods Laws.

Law kept is a blessing. Law broken
is curse. Every law Of God has its
penalty as well as its precept. Body and
mind and soul and heart are under the
law Of God The laws Of health are
their own sanitary corps. A study Of
Gods punishments will reveal the pres
ence of Gods laws The blessings Of
Gerizim and the curses of Ebal came
from the same law The decision of the
Judgment will be according to law

keen q clear Vision of Cod.

God Furnishes sin by the withdrawal
of His presence. The hardest punish
ment sensitive and loving child can
have is the withdrawal Of the parents
face. The hiding of Gods face is harder
to bear than the heaviness Of His hand.
Sin clouds the soul and hides the face Of
God. To see Gods face forever is heav-
ems glory. To lose Gods face forever is
hell's unutterable woe. Keep a clear
vision of God by keeping pure heart.
II your sins have caused Gods face to
become dim, heed the warning. Any
punishment is preferable to being left
without Gods presence. Christian In
