HI.—Thin sermon of Dr. TulmiiK 1 1 i>kn:.L r it tin. mubiight heaveiiB thmnxli thi> ryt s of one of the ancients, is unique for i-riictii ality anil must set all to useful thinking. His text is Amos v, 8, “tu f k him that maketh the seven stars and Orion. ” A country fa nut r wrote this text, Amos of Tekoa. He plowed the earth and thrashed the grain by a new thrashing machine just invented, as formerly the cattle trod out the grain. Ho gathered tlie fruit of the syca more tree and scaritied it with an iron comb just before it was getting ripe, as it was necessary and customary in that way to take from it the bitter ness. He was the s. ,n of a poor shepherd and stuttered, hut hefore the stammer ing rustic the I hili tines and Syrians and Phoenicians ami Moabites and Am- monihs and Edomites and Israelites trembled. Moses was a law giver, Daniel was a prince, Isaiah a courtier and David a king, but Amos, the author of my text, was a peasant, and, as might be sup posed, nearly all his parallelisms are pastoral, his prophecy full of the odor of new mown hay, and the rattle of lo custs, and tho rumble of carts with sheaves, and the rear of wild beasts de vouring the flock while the shepherd came out in their defense. Ho watched the herds by day, and by night inhabited a booth made out of bushes, so that through these brunches he could see the stars all night long, and was more fa miliar with them than wo who have tight roofs to our houses and hardly ever see the stars except among the tall brick chimneys ef the great towns. But at seasons of the year when tho herds k were in special danger he would stay jut in the open M all through tho Inrkness, his only shelter the curtain of the night heaven, with tho stellar em broideries and sihvml tassels of lunar light. Aloua Witii 11 is lien's. What, a life of solitude, all alone with lis herds 1 Poor Amos! And at 12 Po’clock at night haik to tho wolf’s bark, land the lion’s roar, and the bear’s growl, and the owl’s te-whit te-who, and the serpent’s hiss as he unwittingly steps too near while moving through the thickets. So Amos, like other herdsmen, got the habit of studying the map of tho heavens because it was so much of tho time spread out before him. He noticed some stars advancing and others reced ing. Ho associated their dawn and set ting with certain reasons of the year. Ho had a poetic nature, and ho road night by eight and mouth by month £ud year by year th - poem of the oon- Treellations, divinely rhythmic. But two rosettes of stars especially attracted his attention while sc ated cm the ground or lying on his back under tho open scroll of tho midnight h evens—the Pleiades, or seven stars, and Orion. The former group this rustic prophet associated with the spring, ns it ri.-,es about tho first of Iday. The latter lie associated with the Winter, as it comes to tho meridian in January. The Pleiad 's, or seven stars, connected with all sweetness and joy; Orion, tho herc’d of the tempest. Tho ancients were (lie more apt to study tho physiognomy and ji.xtaposition of the heavenly bodies because they thought they had a special influence upon the earth—and perhaps they were right. If the moon ever}- few hours lifts and lets down Alio tides of tho Atlantic ocean and the electric sthrms in the sun, by all scientific admission, affect tho earth, why hot tho stars have proportionate effect? And there are some things which make mo think that it may not have , been all superstition which connected tho movements and appearance of tho heavenly bodies with great moral events on earth. Did not a meteor run on evan gelistic errand on the first Christmas night and designate the rough cradle of our Lord? Did not tho stars in their courses fight against Sisera? Was it merely coincidental that before the de struction of Jerusalem the moon was hidden for 12 consecutive nights? Did it merely happen so that a new star ap peared in constellation Cassiopeia and then disappeared just before Charles IX of Franco, who was responsible for tho St. Bartholomew massacre, died? Was it without significance that, in the days of the Roman empire Justinian, war and famine were preceded by the dimness of tho sun, which for nciuly a year gave no more light than tho moon, although there Wore uo clouds to obscure it? Astrology, after all, may have been something more than a brilliant hoa- i thenism. No wonder that Amos of the ■ text, having heard those two anthems ^ of the stars, put down the stout, rough staff of tho herdsman and took into his brown hand and cut and knotted fingers the pen of a prophet and advised the ^recreant people of Ids time to return to i.Qod, saying, “Seek him that maketh ,tho seven stars niul Orion. ” This com- [maml, which Amos gave 785 years B. , is just as appropriate for us 1897 D- • . , . A God of Order. In tho first place, Amos saw, as wo inust see, that the God who made tho Pleiades and Orion must be tho God of Order. It was not so much a star hero and a star there that impressed the in spired herdsman, but sevt n in one group and seven in tho other group. Ho saw that night afti r night and season after season and decade after decade they had kept step of light, each one in its own place, a sisterhood, never clashing an 1 never contesting precedence. From tho time Hesiod called tho Pleiades tho “seven daughters of Atlas'’ and Virgil flu hit EL ' Id of “stormy Orion" they have observed the order - or t heir coining and going— n not in the manuscript that may be pigeonholed, but with the hand of the Almighty on the demo of the sky, so that all net ions may read it—order, persistent order, . uMiineorder, omidixi- tent order. What a sedative to you and me, to whom oe ntinn itie i and nations Home- times seem going pcllmell and the world mb d by wane fiend at haphazard, and in all direct ions maladministnit i<*n! The God who lo * ps se ven, worlds in right circuit for <1,000 years can certainly ke|p all th“ affairs of individuals and nations and contiuentH in adjustment. We had not better fret much, for the peasant's argument of the text was right. If God can take care of the seven worlds of the Pleiades and tho four chief worlds of Orion, ho can probably take care of tho one world \ve inhabit. So I fei 1 very much as my father felt one day when we were going to tho country mill to get a grist ground, and I, a boy of 7 years, hut in the back part of the wagon, and our yoke of oxen ran away with us and along a labyrinthiun road through tho woods, so that I thought every moment we would bo dashed to pieces, and I made a terrible outcry of fright, and my father turned to me with a face perfectly calm and said: “Do Witt, what tux' you crying about? I guess we can ride as fast as the oxen can run. ” And, my hearers, why should we be affrighted and lose our equilibrium in the swift movement of worldly events, especially when we are assured that it is not a yoke of unbroken steers that ait' drawing us ou, but that order and wise government uro in tho yoke? In your occupation, your mission, your sphere, do the best you can and then trust to God, and if tilings are all mixed and disquieting and your brain is hot and your heart sick, get some ouo to go out with you into the starlight and point out to you the Pleiades, or, better than that, get into some observatory, and through tho telescope see farther than Amos with tho naked eye could—name ly, 200 stars in the Pleiades, and that in" what is called the sword of Orion there is a nebula computed to ho two trillion two hundred thousand billions of times larger than tho sun. Oh, bo at peace with the God who made that and controls all Unit, the wheel of tho constellations turning in the wheel of galaxies for thousands of years without the breaking of a cog, c>r the slipping of a band, or the snap of an axle! For your placidity and comfort through the Lord Jesus Christ I charge you, “Seek him that maketh tho seven stars and Orion.” Ttie God of I.lglit. Again, Amos saw, as wo must see, that the God who made these two groups of the text was the God of light. Amos saw that (Tod was not satisfied with making one star or two or three stars, but he makes seven, and having finished that group of words makes another group—group after group. To the Pleiades he adds Orion. It seems that God likes light so well that he keeps making it- Only one being in the uni verse knows the statistics of solar, lu nar, stellar, meteoric creations, and that is the Creator himself. And they have all been lovingly christened, each one a name as distinct as tho names of your children. “Hetelleth the number of the stars; he calk-th them all by their names. ” The seven Pleiades had names given to them, and they are Alcyone, Merope, Cekvno, Electra, Steropo, Tay- geto and Mala. But think of the billions and trillions of daughti rs of starry light that (Tcxl calls by name as they sweep by him with beaming brow and lustrous robe! So fond is God of light—natural light, moral light, spiritual light! Again and again is light harnessed for symboliza tion—Christ, the bright and morning star; evangelization, the daybreak; the redemption of nations, sun of righteous ness rising with healing in his wings. Oh, men and women, with so many sor rows and sins and perplexities, if you want light of comfort, light of pardon, light of goodness, in earnest prayer through Christ, “Seek him that maketh tho seven star's and Orion!” Again, Amos saw, as wo must see, that tho God who made these two archi pelagoes of stars must be an unchang ing God. There hud been no change in the stellar appearance in this herdsman’s lifetime, and his father, a shepherd, re ported to him that there had l>oou no change in his lifetime. And these two clusters hang over tho celestial arbor uow just as they were the first night that they shone on the Edeuic bowers the same as when the Egyptians built the pyramids,from the *ipef which to watch them; the same as when the Chaldeans calculated the eclipses; the same as when Elihu, according to tho book of Job, went out to study tho aurora bore alis; the same under Ptolemaic system and Coperuicau system; the same from Calisthcncs to Pythagoras and from Pythagoras to Herschel. Sorely a changeless God must have fashioned tho Pleiades and Orion. Oh, what an ano dyne amid the ups and downs of life and tho flux and reflux of tho tides of prosperity to know that wo have a changeless God, “the saipo yesterday, today and forever!” Xerxes garlanded and knighted tho steersman of his Ixiat in tho morning and hanged him in tho evening of tho same day. Fifty thousand people stood around tho columns of the national Cap itol shouting themselves hoarse at the presidential inaugural, and in four months, so great were the antipathies, that a ruflian’s pistol in Washington de pot expressed the sentiment of many a disappointed office t tker. The world sits in its chariot and drives tandem, and the horse ahead is Huzza, and the horse behind is Anathema. Lord Cob- ham, in King James’ time, was applaud ed and had $35,000 a year, hut was aft erward execrated and livid on scraps stolen from the royal kitchen. Alexan der tho Great after death remained un- burkd for 80days because nooue would do tho honor of shoveling him under. The Duke of Wellington refused to have his iron fence mended Itcuanso it had been broken by an infuriated populace in some hour of political excitement, and ho left it in ruins that men might learn what a fickle thing is human fa vor. “But the mercy of tho Lord is from everlasting to • verlssting to them that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children of such as keep his covenant and to those who re- niember his commandments to do them. ” This moment “seek him that maketh tho seven stars and Orion.” A G«id of Dove. Again, Amos saw, as yrr uust see, that the God who made these two bea cons of tho oriental night sky must be a God of love and kindly warning. The Pleiades, rising in midsky, said to all the | herdsmen and shepherds and husband men, "Come out and enjoy the mild weather and cultivate yor.r gardens and fields.” Orion, coming in winter, warn ed them to prepare for tempest. All navigation was regulated by these two constellations. The one said to shipmas ter and crew, “Hoist sail for the sea and gather merchandise from other lands.” But Orion was tho storm sig nal and said “Reef sail; make things snug or put into harhoi for tho hurri- canes are getting their w.ugs out. ” As the Pleiades were the sweet evangels of tho spring, Orion was the warning prophet of tho winter. Oh, now I get the Itest view o. Soil I ever had! There arc two sermons T nev er want to preach—the one that pro nts God so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so imbecile that men may do what they will against him and fracture his every law- and put the pry of their imperti nence and rebellion under his thr >no and while they are spitting in his 1 ice and stabbing at his heart he takes them up in his arms and kisses their infuriat ed brow and cheek, saying, “Of such is the kingdom of heaven.” The Other kind of sermon I never want to preach is the one that n presents God as all fire and torture and thundercloud and with redhot pitchfork tossing the human race into paroxysms of infinite agony. The sermon that I am now preaching be lieves in a God of loving, kindly warn ing, the God of spring and winter, the God of the Pleiades and Orion. You must remember that the winter is just as important as the spring. Lot one winter pass without frost to kill vegeta tion and ice to bind the rivers and snow to enrich our fields, and then you will have to enlarge your hospitals and your cem eteries. “A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard” was the old proverb. Storms to purify the air. Thermometer at 8 degrees below zero to tone up the system. December and January just as important as May and June. I tell you, wo ueed the storms of life as much as we do the sunshine. There arc' more men mined by prosperity than by adversity. If we hud our own M ay in life, before this wo would have been impersonations of selfishness and worldliness and dis gusting sin and puffi d up until wc would have been like Julius Caesar, who was made by sycophants to believe that he was divine, and the freckles on his face were said to bo as the stars of the firmament. The God of Orion, One of the swiftest transatlantic voy ages made cue summer by the Etruria was because she had a stormy wind abaft chasing her from New York to Liverpool. But to those going in the op posite direction tho storm was a buffet ing and a hindrance. It is a bad thing to have a storm ahead, pushing us back, but if we be God’s children and aiming toward heaven the storms of life-will only chase us tho sooner into the har bor. I am so glad to believe that the monsoons, typhoons and mistrals and siroccos of the land and sea are not un chained maniacs let loose upon the earth, but are under divine supervision. I am so glad that the God of tho seven stars is also the God of Orion. It was out of Dante’s suffering came the sub lime “Divina Commedia,” and out of Johu Milton’s blindness came “Para dise Lost,” and out of miserable infidel attack camo the “Bridgewater Treatise” in favor of Christianity, and out of David’s exile came the sougs of conso lation, and out of the sufferings of Christ camo the possibility of the world’s re demption, and out of your bereavement, your persecution, your poverties, your misfortunes, may yet ccme an eternal heaven. Oh, what a mercy it is that in the text and all up and down the Bible God induces us to look out toward other worlds! Bible astronomy in Genesis, in Joshua, in Job, in tho Psalms, in the prophets, major and minor, in St. John’s Apocalypse, practically saying: “Worlds, worlds, worlds! Get ready for them!” We have a nice little world here that wo stick to, as though losing that wo lose all. We are afraid of falling off this little raft of a world. Wo are afraid that soma meteoric iconoclast will some night tmash it, and we want everything to revolve around it and are disappointed when we find that it re volves around the sun instead of the sun revolving around 'it. What a fuss wo make about this little bit of a world, its existence only a short time between two spasms, tho paroxysm by which it was hurled from chaos into order, and tho paroxysm of its demolition. And I am glad that so many texts call us to look off to other worlds, many of them larger and grander and more re splendent. “Look there,” says Job, “at Mazaroth and Arcturus and his sous!” “Look there," says St. John, “at tho moon under Christ's feet!” “Look there,” says Joshua, “at the sun stand ing still above Gibeou!” “Look there,” says Moses, “at the sparkling firma ment!” “Look there,” says Amos, tho herdsman, “at the seven stars and Orion!” Do not let us be so sad about thoso who shove off from this world uu- •dcr Christly pilotage. Do not let us bo so agitated about our own going off this little barge or sloop or cauulboat of a world to get on some Great Eastern of the heavens. Di not let us iM'.rsist in wanting to stay in this barn, this shed, this outhouse of a world, when all tho king’s palaces,already occupied by many of our best friends, are. swinging wide open their gates to let us in. When I read, “In my Father’s house are many mansions, ” I dw not know but that each world is a room and us many rooms as there are worlds, stellar stairs, stellar galleries, stellar hallways, stel lar windows, stellar domes. How our departed friends must pity ns, shut up in these cramped apartments, tired if wo walk 15 miles, when they some morn ing, by ono stroke of wing, can make circuit of tho whole stellar system and be back in time for matins I Perhaps yonder twinkling constellation is the residence of the martyrs; that group of 12 luminaries maybe the celestial home of the apostles. Perhaps that stoop of light is tho dwelling place of angels cherubic, seraphic, archongelio—a man sion with as many rooms as worlds and all their windows illuminated for fes tivity. Worth of tho Soul. Oh, how this widens and lifts and stimulates our expectation! How little it makes tho present, and how stupen dous it makes the future! How it con soles us about our pious dead, that, in stead of being boxed up and under tho ground, have tho range of as many rooms as there are worlds, and welcome every where, for it is the Father’s honse, in which there are many mansions! O, Lord God of tho seven stars and Orion, how can I mduro the transport, the ec stasy, of such a vision! I must obey my text and seek him. I will seek him. I seek him now, for I call to mind that it is not the material universe that is most valuable, but tho spiritual, and that each of us has a soul worth more than all tho worlds which the inspired herds man saw from his booth on the hills of Tekoa. I had studied it before, but the cathe dral of Cologne, Germany, never im pressed me as it did one summer. It is admittedly tho grandest Gothic struc ture in the world, its foundation laid in 1248, only a few years ago completed. More than GOO years in building. All Europe taxed for its construction. Its chain?! of the Magi with precious stones enough to purchase a kingdom. Its chapel of St. Agnes with masterpieces of painting. Its spire springing 511 feet into tho heavens. Its stained glass tho chorus of all rich colors. Statues encir cling the pillars and encircling all. f utues above statues, until sculpture can do no more, but faints and falls back against carved stalls and down on pavements over which the kings and queens of the earth have walk ed to confessional. Nave and aisles and transept and portals combining the splendors of sunrise and sunset. Inter laced, interfoliated, iutercolumned grandeur. As I stood outside, looking at the double range of flying buttresses and the forest of pinnacles, higher and high er and higher, until I almost reeled from dizziness, I exclaimed: “Great doxology in stone! Frozen prayer of many na tions!” But while standing there I saw a poor man enter and put down his p;ick and kneel beside his burden on the hard floor of that cathedral. And tears of deep emotion came into my eyes, as I said to myself: “There is a soul worth more than all tho material surround ings. That man will live after the last pinnacle has fallen and not ono stone of all that cathedral glory shall remain uncrumbled. He is now a Lazarus in rags and poverty and weariness, but im mortal and a son of the Lord God Al mighty, and the prayer he now’ offers, though amid many superstitious, I be lieve God will hear, and among tho itpostles whose sculptured forms stand in the surrounding niches he w'ill at last be lifted, and into the presence of that Christ whose sufferings are repre sented by tho crucifix before which he bows, and be raised in duo time out of all his poverties into tho glorious home built for him and built for us by ‘him who maket h t lie seven stars and Orion. ’ ’ * A MordlcM Tout. “What a dreadful cold you have!” exclaimed ono Capitol hill girl. “It is rather severe,” replied the other. “But 1 don’t mind iU I caught it in a good cause. ” “Did .you have to go out iq tho rain after a doctor?" “No. It was a selfish experiment, but it is assisting mo in a manner so impor tant that I don’t mind it.” “What is it helping you to do?” “Decide a question on which my fu ture happiness depends. ” “Goodness mo!” “Yes. Father said that as soon as the weather got cool enough to have the furnace going Herbert would begin coming to tho house three or four times a week instead of only once. Ho said that ho didn’t think there was any heat in Herbert’s hall bedroom and that ho camo hero beeauee it is a nice warm place to sit. So last night when he called I had tho heat turned off from tho parlor. I got very chilly, but I stood it bettor than Herbert did, for I know what to expect and dressed accordingly. I told him that wo didn’t expect to have that room heated all winter because we used it so little. It was n dreadful or deal, but I shall not regret it, for it will silence my doubts forever.
