SERMON ETTE.

Two things In this chapter
command our attention. First,
the tragedy OF a lost opportun-
'ty; and second, the presump- .
ton and folly Of attempting to
force an entrance to a door
which God has shut. As we read
this chapter we stand amazed :
at the blindness and weakness
OF the children of Israel in the {
face Of 50 great opportunity, but .
here dove not find exempIified :
failure that Is all too common .
to-day in the Christian expe- :
rience? We sit in judgment
upon the rebeIIious Hebrews
and declare their conduct mex
pIicabIe and inexcusabie, even
while we ourselves are refusing
to go forward in faith and enter
the great door OF opportunity Z
which God has SET before US.
We see the giants OF opposition :
and persecution, and the walled
cities Of difficulty and trial. We :
forget Gods power and Gods
faithfulness, and cry the giants
cannot be overcome, and the
walled cities cannot be over
thrown. We turn from the open ,
door. Our opportunity 10 Loaf.
Then comes the second chap.
ter In this sad recital. We
awaken 20 q consciousness Of ,
the mistake we have made, OF
what we have lost. and regard
less OF the consci ous lack Of
Gods presence with us, yea,
often in the face OF his warning
voice, we plunge forward, deter
mined by our own will and ef-
fort to recover the lost oppor-
tunity, the lost blessing. Then
comes disaster and defeat, and
IL Is only az we in humility and
repentance follow the Lord
through the wilderness Of
discipline that we can ever hope
to come again to the place Of op.
Portunity and blessing.
The promised land of better
things 10 always worth fighting
for.
IL Is true Of spiritual as we'll
as of temporal things that "there
is tide in the affairs Of men
(the soui) which, taken at the
flood, leads on to fortune"
Soul within thee, is there a
stirring for a better life, Which
the voice Of self is seeking to
stifie? Is conscience saying:
"Yield to God; follow hin, 2"
While self cries: LET US choose
another captain. Let Us 90 back
to the Egypt of the old life 2"
Let faith triumph and lead you
through the open door.
Opportunity does not Iinger.
To-day his word is one Of invi-
tation; tomorrow 1t may be one
Of Judgment.
Faith 10 always able to see
ways Of victory that unbeiief 10
ready to declare are Impractical
BILE and impossible.
The wicked Vaccinations Of
the ten spies could delay but not
defeat Gods plan to give the
land Of Canaan to Israel, and SO
II is always that evil men can
delay but not defeat the COMING
Of Gods kingdom.
II took 20 years to rid israel
OF those who hindered her prog.
ress, and II takes many a year
sometimes for God to burn the
dross out Of the human heart
so az to prepare II to enter HE
promised land.
