do not be among such dupesi Do not act
the part Of such persons as have been de-
scribing. Stand back from all chicanery,
from all imposition. They who practices
such imposition shall be- exposed In the day
of Code Indignation. They may rear great
fortunes, but their dapple grays will be ar
rested on the road some day, as was the ass
by the angel of God with drawn sword.
The light Of the last day will shine through
all such subterfuges and with voice
louder than that which accosted this i'm
position Of the text: "Come in, thou wife
of Jeroboam. Why feignest thou thysef
to be anotherS'' With voice louder than
that God will thunder down into midnight
darkness and doom and death all two faced
men, and all charlstans, and all knaves,
and all jockeys, and all swindlers- Behold
how the people put on the masks, and be-
hold how the Lord tears them off
Gods Providences.
My subject also impresses me with how
precise and accurate and particular are
Gods providences. Just at the moment
that woman entered the city the child died.
Just as it was prophesied, so it turned out,
so it always turns out. The event oc-
ours, the death takes place, the nation is
born, the despotism is overthrown at the
appointed time. God drives the universe
with stiff rein. Events do not just hap
pom so. Things do not go slipshod In all
the book of Gods providences there is not
one ''if" Gods providenoes are never
caught in dishabille. To God there are no
surprises, no disappointments and no aoci-
dents. The most insignificant event flung
| out in the ages Is the connecting link be-
| tween two great ohains-the chain Of eter-
| nifty past and the chain Of eternity to come.
| am no fatalist, but should be COM
pletely wretched If l did not feel that all
the affairs of my life are in Gods hand
and all that pertains to me and mine, just
as certainly as all the affairs OF this wom-
an Of the text, as this child of the text, as
this king Of the text, were in Gods hand.
You may ask me hundred questions
cannot answer, but / shall until the day
of my death believe that am under the
unerring care of God, and the heavens may
fall and the world may burn, and the
Judgment may thunder, and eternal ages
may roll, but not hair shall fall from my
head, not shadow shall drop on my
path, not sorrow shall transflx my heart
without being divinely arranged-ar-
ranged by loving, sympathetic Father.
He bottles our tears, be catches our sor-
rows, and to The orphan he will be Fa-
ther, and to the widow be will be q hus-
band, and to the outcast he will be home,
and to the most miserable wretch that this
day crawls up out Of the ditch of his
abomination crying for mercy he will be
an all pardoning God The rocks shall
turn gray with age and the forests shall
be unmoored in the last hurricane, and
the sun shall shut its fiery eyelid, and the
stars shall drop like blasted figs, and the
continents shall go down like anchors in
the deep, and the ocean shall heave its last
groan and lash itself with expiring agony,
and the world shall wrap itself in wind
ing sheet of flame and leap on the funeral
pyre of the Judgment day; but God s love
shall not die 1t will kindle its suns after
all other lights have gone out 1t will be
q billowy sea after the last ocean has swept
itself away. It will warm itself by the fire
of consuming world. 1t will sing while
the archangel's trumpet is pealing forth
and the air is filled with the crash Of bro
ken sepulchers and the rush of the wings OF
the rising dead. oh, may God comfort all
this people with this Christian sentiment
