t1an-cures him. know that what l
have said implies that they are living.
There Is no question about that. The
only question this morning Is whether
you will ever join them.
Tho Glorious Promise.
But must not forget those 900 men
who tainted by the brook Besor. They
could not take another step farther.
Their feet were sore; their head ached;
their entire nature was exhausted Be-
sides that they were broken hearted be-
cause their homes were gone. Ziklag in
ashesl And yet David, when he comes
up to them, divides the spoils among
theml He says they shall have some Of
the jewels, some Of the robes, some of
the treasures look over this audience
this morning, and 1 find at least 200
who have tainted by the brook Besor-
the brook Of tears. You feel as if you
could not take another step farther, as
though you could never look up again.
But am going to initiate David and
divide among you some glorious tro-
phies. Here is robe, "All things work
together for good to those who love
God" Wrap yourself in that glorious
promise Horo is for your neck string
of pearls made out Of crystallized tears,
weeping may endure for night, but
Joy cometh in the morning" Here is a
coronet, "Be thou faithful unto death,
and 1 will give thee crown Of life. "
Oh, ye fainting ones by the brook Besor,
dip your blistered feet in the running
stream Of Gods mercy, battle your brow
at the wells of salvation, soothe your
wounds with the balsam that exudes
from trees of life God will not utterly
cast you off, O broken hearted man, O
broken hearted woman, fainting by the
brook Besor!
A shepherd finds that his musical
pipe is bruised. He says: II can't get
any more music out of this instrument,
SO I will just break it, and I will throw
this reed away. Then I will get another
reed, and will play music on that. !"
But God says he will not cast you off
because all the music has gone out Of
your soul. "The bruised reed he will
not break. " AS far as can tell the
diagnosis Of your disease, you want d.
vine nursing, and it is promised you,
GAS one whom his mother comforteth
so will comfort you" God will SEQ
you oil the way through, o troubled soul,
and when you comedown to tho Jordan
Of death you will find it to be as thin o
brook as Besor, for DR.. Robinson says
that In April Besor dries up and there
is no brook at all And in your last
moment you will be as placid as the
Kentucky minister who went up to God,
saying in the dying hour: Write to
my sister Kate and tell her not to be wor-
ried and frightened about the story Of the
horrors around the deathbed. Tell her
there is not word Of truth In 1t, for
am there now, and Jesus is with me-
and / And it a very happy way, not be-
cause am good man, for l am not
am nothing but poor, miserable sim
ner, but 1 have an Almighty Saviour,
and both Of his arms are around ma
May God Almighty, through the blood
of the everlasting covenant, bring us
into The companionship Of our loved
ones who have already entered the heav-
emily laAd and into the presence Of
Christ, whom, not having seen, we love,
and 30 David shall recover all, land as
his part is that goeth down to she bat
tie, so shall his part be that tarriesh By
the stuff. -
