Worsh'pine in Spirit and in Truth
Psa. 100. 10; John 4. 1924.


Inspiring as are the voices Of ma
ture. tnere is no worship equal to that
of the human heart. Lowly and coz
trte it comes before its God. 1t has
been sn.beset. Fierce have been the
onslaughts, persistent the resistance,
and yet the enemy is gaining
ground. Where. o. where, poor
fluttering soul, wilt thou find an arm
for thy defense? Wounded and bleed
ing. where is there balm for thy
distress? One gleam from above. and
upward scars the soul by faith into
the bosom of God for refuge and re-
lief Like a dove. it has found It's
nest. Restored to calm. strengthened
by power divine, it bids adieu to fear
and exutantly pays homage to its
divine Deliverer. The body bends in
reverence and the soul touches pin
ions with angels on high.
II the worship rendered by one soul
is beautiful how inspiring Is the ador
alton of assembled multitudes, Hoary'
headed saints and maidens fair. mat
rons and youth with gallant form, and
sweet.voiced children. all. all with one
accord paying homage to Him who
One spirit Is there to whom their
voices may blend In richest unison.
A symphony OF souls touched to noble
ness by the Spirit divine.
Who shall say that such genuine
worship is not shared by celestial
spirits. Where are the hosts who
with triumphant praise. have LETT
this bourn? Far away are they? we
know not. May We not sanely cherish
the fond hope that they are not sc
far away hut that they are able to
take up our strains OF worship and
watt them along through heavenly
realms?
Worship means an appreciation OF
the worth OF God. It is not until
the Almighty towers before the mind
as the Creator of all things. the Sus'
tainer OF all life, the Provider OF all
needs. the Beneiactor OF all beings In
all worlds, the Omnlpotent, the Omni
present. the Omniscient, and All'lov-
ing Jehovah, that We can rise to the
heights OF suitable alteration Only In
Christ can we really see God and
feel the throbbings OF his heart OF
compassion when we realize his
fatherly goodness and personal in
terest In our individual lives, then we
come to love him with worshipful
affection. sweet and satisfying to our
own souls.

Phillips Brooks declared we should
strive to see the loving hand OF God in
every trial and sorrow. He once expressed
this thoughtin the following dialogue:s.
What shall l do with this sorrow that
it, and get strength and blessing out of
it," "Ah, il ! only knew what blessing
there was in it, il ! only saw how it would
help me, then could bear it like plume!
What shall do with this hard, hateful
duty which Christ has laid right in my
"Ah, yes; if could only see that it would
make me grow!" In both these cases do
you not see that what you are begging for
is not more faith. although You think it
is. but sighty You want to see for your
se.f the blessing in the sorrow, the strength
in the hard and hateful task Faith says
not. II see that it is good for me- and SO
God must have sent it," but God sent it,
and SO il must be good for me.

We would ask from thee to-day,
Ere with those around we mingle,
Ere we journey on our way.
Faith and patience we are needing,
To assist us to endure.
And to clothe the humblest service
With a purpose high and pure.
He that for the least service is most
grateful to God gives him worthy
praise, and appreciates the goodness
and bounty of him who above all is
Infinitely great; for no grace can be
small or contemplate that comes
from the liberal hand of the Most
High. God seeks and asks for moth,

and that by carefully avoiding all
offense against him, we should give
proofs to him of our sincere graft

are the logical deductions? 1t leaves
