Wilbur Chapman lias never delivered a more eloquent and eouvinciavC nie.-.-a;re than i- r >:it 1:11. i f * in the following merino:;, entitled. " I'll Secret o; Hi- Presence." it was preached from the text: "lie tint dwcilcth in t secret place of the M?<t High siiaii abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm xni.: 1. To me tlii- is one of the most beautiful expressions in all the liible; beautiful because it is poetic, but more than that foi the reason that it holds up before us one of the greatest privileges that can come to the children of God. " There is a difference, of opinion as to who the author of the Psalms may be. We get into the way of thinking that Da\id wrote everything in the P-abvr. but Moses is the author here. The Talmud ascribes not only this one to him but the nine preceding as well. The rule is that all the Psalms without a name in the title are to be ascribed lo tlie poet whose name is given in the nearest preceding title, hit: this rule will not always hold good. This is the P-ahn quoted by the devil when be was tempting Christ upon the mountain, and it has ever been throbbing with comfort for every trou'dod soul. Whoever wrote it. it is beautiful, and all will agree that the lesson taught is one touching our communion with God r and our fellowship with Jesus Christ. It is very true that all Christians do jicl ot't'ui?> i ir* j*uiiic |;u>uiuii m mi" tvorld. Ail are saved, and it is by tlie same ' precious blood of C'hri.-t Hut there is so much more to the Christian life than ?ir.tply being saved: that i? only the beginning. The bics-ings here , offered are given in a very general way. Co 1 is no r. specter of persons, and so it ias it lie had said, any one tvhn will i'ti 1 ti31 the conditions n.. v have tiro blessing; and ' ? as there is ojilv the one condition, namely. that we thai' dwell ) the "secret p-ace of the M -t nigh,"' you would think that all would ";?t. for the promi.-e is ii:it we ''shall al. !e un<h r the shadow ol the Alntjgtily.

May the Lord help us every one! I have been on the moiintnin tops of Christian experience. when I have seemed to sec the face of Him who loved me and gave Himself for me. and I am sure that you van say the same; but the text says that w? may abide there in our thoughts while we in:v be all the time in the very thickest of the fight for God. t like the vyse. Every word is sweeter than honey in the honeycomb. It is so restful to know that there is any place in the world whepe we may abide. There is also something very winning to me in the fact that it is a secret place, for that surely means tha; God has something that m is iyjst intended for me, and for me alone. ^j^flw5en~I am there, I am awav from the / world. It is the place Mrs. "Brown disi covered when she wrote the beautiful m hymn. ^ "I love in solitude to shed ft The penitential tear; "3T"" And all His promises to plead When none but God can hear." There is something about the word "shadow" that always interests, for there never has been a shadow without the light; thus the "secret place" must be a . place of brightness. 'It is a place where UodLisr for the nearest of all things to me as viourney in the sunlight is mv shadow, and ne who wall*? in my shadow or rests in it must be w. >ar to me; so that when I am in the shadow of G-?d. I can reach forth i:ny hard and touch Him; 1 can lift up mine eyes and see Him face to face. 1 know there is a sense in which God is always near us. He is in all things, and He is ev< rywhere. But there is somc it^liiia-"secret of His presence" every cue is a stranger until elt there. 19th Psalm the psalmist seems st part to be writing of the f God in a general sort of way. r has said. "He had been heate g dden ore of thought through paragraphs of marvelous power and beauty, when suddenly in the tii'.ylirst verse he seems to have become conscious that He of whom lie bad been speaking had drawn pear and was bending over him. 'I he sense of the presence ot God was borne in upon his inner consciousness, and lifting up a face on which reverence and ecstacy met and mingled, he cried: 'Thou art near, 0 Lord! If we could only attain unto this how strong, bow happy, bow useful we should be. It is , possible as well for those of us who are in the very midst of perplexing cares as for the priest, or the saint; for since the Master bids us all to abide in Him, and does not limit either His meaning or the number of people who may obey, I am absolutely certain that it rests with me and with you to determine whether we eftlll take advantage of our high privilege! / k . , I. T^fctvpica^ reference must be to the ho i SB ce of the tabernacle, which the priS?were privileged to enter; but Peter assures us that we have become in this new dispensation "a holy priesthood," so that it is possible for us to enter on that ground. If this interpretation is al towed, tnen it is sometning, too wonderful almost to describe, to which we are bidden, for in the tabernacle just beyond the veil was the glory cloud, and all the magnificence that could be wrought in gold and silver, purple and fine linen. But I am persuaded that even that was as nothing when compared to that which awaits us when we enter the secretjiliwe** of God.

' In 1 he world ye shall have lobulation." our Master said, "hut in Me ye shall have peace." I have read that a certain inseti has the power to surround itself v it Is a film of air. encore passed in which it drops into the midst of muddy, stagnant pools, and remains unhurt.

The orator is cons-ions of the r.resenee of his audienre. and his heart is touched by their appreciation while h'~ mind is busy it) presenting the tYanghts that move thefti. You may have all your mind taken up with the book von arc reading or studying, but your heart is conscious of the presence of the one you love and who sits by your side. The mother may be very busy in one part of the house: her mind may be greatly engaged, but her heart is conscious of the fart that her little babe is in another part of th." house, and the least crv will draw* her tr. the child. So the mind may be occupied to the very fullest extent, and even be disturbed by the things about us. while the heart mav be abiding in sweet eomniunion and fellowship with Him because we are dwelling in the "secret place." Those were comforting words of the Master's when He said. "Peace 1 leave t*Ait \fv noaoo I fttro untn vroi nnf as the world giveth. give i unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." So that I may have peace even when trial comes. David found this to be true, for in that beautiful Psalm, the 27th. he says: "In the time of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle will He hide me." The pavilion was a great taut in the very centre of the camp, and when he was there nothing could harm him: he could be at peace even if he should hear the sounds of his enemies. But the expression is even stronger than that, for David says that if it were necessary God would even put him in the "secret of His tabernacle;" that is the same as the Holy of Holies; and who jvould not have been safe there? Here is our "secret nlaee" again, and this is just where God has given us the privilege of going. Why should we be disturbed if troubles are about us and our enemies rise up to do us harm? 2. In the "secret place" there is purity. If our surroundings were only better in this world, our lives would be purer. It is very easy to be good in the company of some neople we know; they seem to draw out all the good in us. To bt surrounded by certain kinds of scenerv is to be lifted near Heaven; to touch a little child pure as the angels of God is to receive a benediction. What could not the presence of God do for us if onlv we were all the time conscious of it? 'fbis is just what 1 may have, did I but dwell in the "secret place." One of the reasons which David gives for desiring to dwell in the house of the Lord was that "he might behold the beautv of the Lord." I wish that it might be possible for me to make plain to you as I might understand it myself all the beauty that waits us in the "secret place." Think of the gorgeousness of the Holy of Holies in the ancient tabernacle, which is a type of this! The wonderful curtains and hangings of the place, its blue and purple, its line twined linen and threads of gold. Think of the beautiful veil with the cherubim, with the embroidery so line that angel fingers must have wrought them, the table of pure gold holding the broad, and the seven-branched candlestick? Who from the outride looking upon the badger-skin tent would have imagined how glorious it was within? So I do not think it would be possible to make plain to you all that awaits you in the "secret place." He who has dwelt there with (lod could not tell his joy if he had an angel's speech: but this 1 know, that if you will Tut enter in and dwell there, the very beauty of the place will make you pure, and you remember that it is only unto "the pure in heart"' thai the vision of Cod is promised. I suppose we might have been with Jacob when in hi- dream he saw the heavens opened and behold the angels going up aud coming down and heard the voice of < tod. ami we only should have - 'l-v ........ litw fihnil!" mt'i niir ujvv..; I doubt not by that wc might liave I.re.i viiii Haul wlien li" was caught up to the third heave", and we should nave seen nothing but the humble surroundings of iiis tent. .And 1 doubt not but that it l'aul were here to-d.iy lie would see God here this morning, and he would have walked 011 the street with lliin yesterday. Is not the trouble with ourselves instead of our surroundings or our times? Every permitted sin encrusts the windows of the soul and blinds our visionj and every victory over evil clears the vision of the soul, and we can sec Him a little plainer. The unholy man could not see Cod if he were set down in the midst of Heaven; but .men and women whose hearts are pure see Him in the very commonest walks of life. And there is not t place in the world if it is right that we should have been there, but after we have passed by we may say, "Beljold, God wa$ in this, T , np-i I i; 11 i." _\ntl if ,e can ' :i ?. ? . : . ii is wrong for n? to g / In the "secret place" < here / power.

T have left to the very last the most, practical Question of all. and that is: How may I enter into this "secret place':" Cannot something be said that will make tiie wav plain? It may all be summed up i:i this answer. None can "know the Father but the Son. and he to whom ihr Son will reveal ITim." It is impossible or anv one to enter into the "secret place" of tiic Most High except through .Ipmis Christ He said, "f am the way. 1 I am the door, ny .Me. if any man will, lie shall enter in." It is jitst what Pant meant when be said, "Tint now in Christ -Jesus ye who sometimes were afar off aie made nigh bv the blood of Christ." ?? ~i?, ?u? mt.In I liriU i IV Miiui' ut mv ifixnK, where ('to way seems plain.

Christ j would be in you and you would be in j ( hrist. even as in th" southern sea tlie j .siinreos may be seen beneath tlie waves, . the sponge in the sea and the sea in the span e. Then we eould say with Haul: 'I live, and vet not I. but Christ livgrh in me." Again f have read in the Bible the.-" words: "He that keepth Hi-- commamhnents dwcoctii in Ilim. and lie in him." And 1 have found that 1 have only to go the way T think Christ wants me to go and to do the things I think He wants me to do to be able to stand on the very mountain top of Christian experience: and that is only another way of sneaking of the "seeret place." You eould not go where Christ has bidden yon without meeting Him, and you could not meet Him without a blessing coining wii n me 11icci ni^;. After all this has brcn known, I have heen told that thp vision still tarries. Sometimes that is to try our faith; hut lie will come if you wait, for He has promised. If. however, after long waiting still He should tarry, take up this old Rook, turn its pages with a prayer that God might open vonr eves so that you might see Him. This is the garden where He walks; press on. you will meet Him face to face. This is the temple where He dwells; stand knocking at the door, even while you wait it may swing noiselessly on its hinges, and He will lead you Himself into the "secret place." How ? Business Man Was Saved. An incident is related which occurred during Mr. Finnev's meetings in NewYork City and which well illustrates the value of a little tact in the great struggle for souls. The big cutlery firm of Sheffield. England, had a branch house in New York. The manager was a partner of the firm, and very worldly. One of his clerks, who had been converted in the meetings, invited his employer to attend. One evening he was there, and sat just across the aisle from Mr. Arthur Tappan. He aDneared affected during the sermon, and Mr. Tappan kept his eye on him. After the dismissal. Mr. Tappan stepped ouicklv across the aisle, introduced himself, and invited him to stav to the after-service. The gentleman tried to excuse himself and get away, but Mr. Tappan caught hold of the button on his coat and said. "Now. do stay: I know you will enjoy it:" and he was so kind and gentlemanly that the cutlery man could not well refuse. He stayed, and was converted. Afterwards he said, "An ounce of weight upon my coat-button saved my soul." Two Pictures. It is related that two painters each painted a picture to illustrate his conception of rest. The first chose for his scene a still, lone lake among the far-off mountains. The second threw on his canvas a thundering waterfall, with a fragile birch tree bending over the foam. At the fork of the branch almost wet with the cataract's 6prav. a robin sat on its nest. Hen.. Drummond, referring to the two paintings, so unlike in their make-up, said: "The first was only 'stagnation;' the last wgs 'rest.' Christ's life was outwardly one of the most troubled lives that was ever lived; tempest and tumult, tumult and ttmnest, the waves breaking over it. all the time, till the worn body was laid in the grave. "But the inner life was a sea of glass. The great calm was always there. At any moment you might have gone to Him and found rest. And even when His enemies were dogging Him in the streets of Jerusalem.He turned to His disciples ad offered the'm. as a last legacy. 'Mv peace.' " Work, Onr Highest Privilege. Whoever attempts to escape work avoids his best friend. We read the story of man's fall in the licrht of subsequent revelation, only to find that work is not a curse, but our highest privilege. The fact that the seasons end urges us on to do our best. An endless probation is simply none at all. There is no more pathetic lamentation in ail literature than this. The summer is ended and we are not saved. Probation -= over. The Judge enters the field and count:! the sheaves. The summer ever reproduces iUelf. They come in their Annual succession, but each ho'ds its own place. This summer will ho this but once. Another will come, but it won't j be this. Nothing is ever repeated. The second rec mides the first, but is not to be identified widi it. The sun never erects the earth twice the seme. Probation is written everywhere. ? Presbyterian Jour- | nr.l.
