SERMONETTE.

S6hmONGt =.
A corrupt priesthood. a low .
state Of spiritual life In the ma
ton, which encouraged a super !
stitious regard for the outward
signs and symbols Of religion,
led the children Of Israel into
the saeriiese Of bringing the ark
forth from the holy Of holes and ,
using IL as a fetish to give
them victory over their enemies.
They had seen the heather ma
tons about carrying their gods
into battle. Why should they ,
not find in their religion similar
encouragement and help? And
SO the army Of Israel, defeated
in the preliminary skirnish with .
the Phiiistines, takes up the cry, ,
saying: LET US fetch the ark Of
the covenant Of the Lord out of
Shiloh unto US, IL may save US
out Of the hand Of our enemies"
This they did, the corrupt and
base sons Of Eli giving ready
consent and going with the ark
into battle. And what follows ,
is but the inevitable fruitage Of
this long series Of sinful acts.
Defeat and destruction for the
army Of Israel, loss of the sacred
emblem Of Gods presence in
their midst, and bitter servitude 4,
to their victorious foe.
What lessons may be drawn
from this dark period, from
these tragic events. First of all,
we must recognize the immi-
hence Of God in all the affairs
Of life. Though he was forgot
ten and dishonored he was
moving in human events to the !
vindication Of his name and the
punishment Of sin. We here find
but the fulfillment of what God
said would come to pass. Gods (
warning had come to the house
Of Eli, but regardless Of the mes
sage, the sons Of Eli and the ma
ton Of Israel plunge to their
ruin. We may forget God, we
may be living in sin and yet
strive to maintain an outward
form of religious observance, un-
til at last the mere ceremonial
becomes the fetish, the charm,
the tdlisman which we think
Will give US help and deliverance
I'm the dark hour. In that fatal
hour Of battle Israel discovered
that their help did not lie In
that mere creation Of wood and
gold; that its presence with
them. and the careful observance
Of their forms Of worship did not
insure them victory. And so is
it ever true. Religion is a thing
apart from things and outward
forms and ceremonies. ReIi-
sion is thing of the heart, and
the heart cannot become the
holy Of holes in which God will
take up his dwelling place ex-
, cept as sin is repented Of and
cast out. This is the second
thought, then, which we would
emphasize. That even thouqh
God is imminent always in the
, welfare Of man, he is far, very
far, from the individual! heart
that Is given up to it's own Iusts
and desires. And let US not for
get that while sin is in the
heart and the life. the presence
and favor Of God cannot be won
!, by zeal in religious forms and
ceremonies. II is the heart which
repents and turns from sin that
can hope for the Divine pres
ence.
