J. D. BURRELL Subject: The Friend of God. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Sunday morninjj tbe Hev. Joseph Dnnn Burrell. pastor of the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, preached an interesting sermon on the'subject, "The Friend of God." The text was from James ii:23: "He was called the Friend of God." Mr. Burrell said: The figure of Abraham is one of the most majestic spared to us by the past. He stands before us in singular dignity, serenity and power, and his supreme quality was that he was the friend of God. The phrase is peculiar. It is not said that God was his friend, but that he was God's friend. There is a difference. We accept the friendship of God as a matter of course, like the air we breathe. But the thought that man may be a friend to God scarcely comes n nc of nil There is something deeply touching about that thought. For we usually look upon God as sufficient unto Himself. Yet in this other respect we see Him longing for friends. That desire is common among men, for there are many lonesome, misunderstood, hungry for a friendly word of appreciation. Now think of God also as misunderstood, grieved by neglect, yearning to be loved. Then think of Abraham as giving God his heart. You see how much it meant to God that Abraham was his friend. One is led to be the friend of another by liking him. The reason why we like him may be inexplicable to ourselves, for there ia no accounting for tastes. All fruits are the gift* of God to men, yet some we enjoy and others we reject. All people are children of God. and we can love every one of them in a disinterested and fraternal way. But this does not interfere with our liking some better than others. Even our Saviour felt this human tendency and was drawn by it to a special intimacy with the apostle Jobn. I suppose tbere never was a person about whom people differed" more than Charles Lamb. Some could not endure his perpetual raillery, his bad puns, his stammer. Others knew him to be one of the rarest spirits, subtle in in tellect, exquisite ?n taste and grandly unselfish. Now that liking which makes friendship between man and man makes it between man and God. We can picture Abraham at the close of the day, when the tents had been pitched and the evening meal eaten, going apart from the camp for a little space that he might open his soul to God. We can imagine David at night time while the city slept, mounting to the roof of the palace and beneath the canopy of starB communing with the Mo6t High. We can see Christ escaping from the crowds that thronged His steps and eagerly hiding for a brief time in the seclusion of some mountain top that ??_Ui l? -1 aid TTothar nt uxi^ui utr ujuuc niui uio It was because all three of these liked God. It Is a question worth asking whether we like God. I do not say reverence and honor, I do not say submit to and obey. Do we like God? It is a peculiar question. Perhaps asking it make9 us wonder whether our appreciation of God does not lack something of the .warm throb of life. Friendship also involves similarity of tastes. In fact, most of our friendships come about through our being brought together in the pursuit of some common interest, by an ocean voyage, a golf club, a board of directors, a Sunday-school class, for example. People whose chief interests differ are not likely to become friends; Emerson and Boss Tweed, for example. There is no better field for studying the laws of friendship than a college. Young men or women who have known each other pleasantly enter in the same class, go together for a time, then gradually, without any ill feeling whatever draw apart in order to form other combinations. This shifting is gener? /^Amtnnfinrr nntPfif nf I til J J U UC LU LUC UV/Uiluuiiu^ |#V ? v? wsome common interest?French, boatI ing, editing a paper together, membership in the same fraternity and the like. The same principle holds trae in the friendship between man and God. It Is brought about by similarity of tastes and interests. Supreme in God is the sense of order, whose moral side is righteousness. How can He have any friendship with a man who lacks this sense of order? Who does not mind being a glutton <Sr a drunkard or Impure, or telling a lie or taking what is not his? As Paul says, "what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" And another characteristic of God is His spirit of charity. But suppose a man is indifferent, hard and selfish, prone to cherish grudges and to do unkindnesses, how is friendship possible between him and God? "He that loveth not his brother whom tke hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" It is important, then, for us to ask if we like what God likes, if we value highly, at He does, the soul, the spiritual life, a character of purity and goodness. These are the foundations of friendship between heaven and earth. Again, part of friendship is loyalty. But loyalty how far? Through bad report as well as through good report? Assuredly. The friendship that will not endure strain is of little worth. Twenty years ago a young man was swept away by the excitement of gambling in Wall Street, and misused the funds of the bank of which he was president. The deficit of millions was made good. But, of course, the disgrace was there. Yet to-day he has standing in. a certain small social circle. His friends, you see, realized that the man was not really vicious at heart and stood by him to help him make a new life. How many a man, who in fact has done no wrong, but who has bad some idle gossip raised about bim, has found himself deserted in a minute by those he counted upon as bis friends. There is no social tragedy more pitiful than this, and also none more discreditable to human nature. To be a friend to God means to be loyal to Him through storm as well as through sunshine, in the day not only of prosperity, but also In that of adversity, when the skeptic says, "If God is good and is your friend, how can He permit this trouble to fall upon you?" Then when suspicion is raised about God. many who have called themselves His friends fall away from Him. The tTue friend is he who stands by God when strange and cruel things happen that cannot be explained, who maintains confidenc in the divine goodness when others deny it, who defends God's name when others impugn it, who says with Job, "though He slay me, yet will 1 trust Him." God will never forget stanchness like that. Generosity is one of the lovely traits of true friendship. It comes out in t feeling, in conduct and in special tokens in the form of gifts. * Tiie ancients illustrated this in the story of Damon and Pythias. Pythias was condemned to death, but begged leave to go home and arrange his af fairs. His friend Damon took Lis place in prison. In the end in the nick of time. Pythias returned and surrendered himself. Because of the spectacle of such a friendship he was pardontd. But the interest of the story centres in Damon lying in prison while the days of Pythias' absence lengthen and the time of execution draws near. For not only was Damon content to endure imprisonment for his friend, but far beyond that he was prepared to die in his place. The story is no doubt a fairy tale, but is gives us a true lesson, and lias had influence upon the civilized conception of friendship. And as applied to our relationship to God it is suggestive. If our friendship to Him is genuine it will bear the mark of generosity. There have been not a few friends of God ready to die, if need be, for Him. And yet there are many who render to God what they like rather than what He likes. Sometimes presents are given among us on the same irrational basis. You have seen a poor young nnnrklA r/v?a!r a fi?Am a/^mn n /* quaintance an absurd wedding present of a costly piece of bric-a-brac which would be utterly out of place in their modest parlor, and would divert an amount of money which would have been a great help in practical form. The donor consulted his desire rather than theirs. So is it often with men's gifts to God; they give Him what they like rather than what He likes. In Jeremiah's age they offered sacrifices of bullocks and goats. In Christ's day they performed elaborate religious ceremonies and wore phylacteries and fringes. In medieval times they did penance and paid money. To-day they erect costly churches and endow colleges. But if we would please God we must consult His wishes in our gifts and not our own. And what does God like best? A pure heart, a humble and contrite spirit, days free from evil, practical thoughts of kindness for others, homes of real devotion, sacrifices of money from genuine love of His work, words of honest testimony for Him m public and private. These are the things God likes, and ..thou who lnvn PTim etri?n offpr.thpm to Him. In the fourteenth century, when tie moral and spiritual state of Christen* dom was dark, a group of noble souls banded themselves together to solve after holiness. Their headquarters were at Strassburg and Cologne. Tneir greatest member was John Tauler, tbe celebrated preacher, whose printed sermons made a doep Impression on Luther. The influence of those men was performed and abideB to this day. But the thing to notice especially about ! them was their name: they called themselves "The Friends of God." Is there not a place for such people in the life of to-day? Men are apt to become so absorbed in the concerns of this life as to neglect God altogether, and wheij they do think of Him it is often with the desire chiefly to get something from Him. How sordid and unworthy this all is. We ought to have our relationship on a higher level. Is it not possible for us to appreciate His grandeur ana goodness ior ineir own excellence?. Can we not like Him for what He is? As He looks down upon a considerably indifferent world, can we not give Him the happiness of letting Him see that we are Hi? friends? And when trouble bewilder* us let us still believe in Him; when His good name is assailed, let us defend Him; when He wants some Ciie to do His work, let us say, "Here am I, send me." We are familiar enough with the idea that God is our friend. But the question is who are willing to be friends of God? Ponder Tbls Fact. "Take your Bible, and carefully count, not only the chapters or the verses, but the letters from the beginning of Genesis to the 'Amen' of the Revelation; and when you have accomplished the task, go over it again and again?ten times, twenty, forty times?nay, you must read the very letters of your Bible eighty times over before you have reached the requisite sum.

There should be waiting on Him, not only in the assembly of His people, not only with the attitude of reverent regard, in the forms of religion, but as the Psalmist puts it: "Truly my soul waiteth upon God." For salvation, for protection, He is to be sought; and whatever the trouble of our lives, we thus get stability. What can we ask? The fulfilment of the exceeding great and precious promises. But what plea can we present, weak and sinful as we are? The name that is above every name?the name of Jesus.?John Hall. The Way We Do Thine*. Rev. F. B.
