A Sermon for To-day
A Shameful Ingratitude.
ny REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: so they did eat, and were
filed, and became fat, and delighted
themselves In Thy great goodness.
Nevertheless, they we're disobedient, ano
rebelled against Thee, and cast Iny
laws behind their backs, and slew Thy
prophets. ."-Neh. ix.25-26.
How shameful was such ingratitude.
Although God had lavished His good
ness upon them. Israel rebelled against
Him. cast aside His law and resisted
His messengers, even to the point OIL
Staying them.
But never mind about Israel. Think
of your own ingratitude. Consider Gods
goodness to you. In Him you live and
move and have your being. To Him
YOU are indebted for every morsel oi
bread YOU put into your mouth, foI
eyery piece of clothing you wear upon
your body, and for every other COM
fort and good thing you have, Every
day you walk about in His sunshine
drink at His fountain and feed from
His table. How heartless and migrate
full 1t Is of you, when you take these
bounties from His hand and never
make any acknowledgement OF His
goodness.
God gave you good home good
father and a gOOQ motner. GOu gave
you the church with all its blessed
ministry and holy influences He gave
you the Bible with all its light and wis
dom and instruction in the way of sal
vation and righteousness. He sent His
SON to redeem you. Continually He
sends His messengers to entreat you
and His spirit to WOO you back to Him
and the better life. When you indif-
ferently disregard these tokens of Gods
love and goodness and go on persistent
ly ignoring Him, the angels of Heaven
yea, even the very demons of hell-must
marvel at such shameful ingratitude.
Ingratitude Is one of the most shame
full of all sins. 1t is shameful as seen
In human relations But how its shame
