4-7 A SERMON FOR SUNDA AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLE[ "THE SECRET OF HIS PRESENCE." Te Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman Delii era an Instructive Message Suggeste by Oe of the Most Beautiful Expres sions in the Eilble. NEW YORK CITY--The distinguishe evangelist, the tev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chaf man has never delivered a more eloquen and convincing me.sage than is containe, in the following scrion. entitled. "Th Secret of His P1esen.e." It was preache from the text: "lIe that dwelleth in th secret place of the Most High shall abid under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm &:-i.: 1. To me this is one of the most beautift expressions in all the Bible; beautiful b cause it is poetie, but more than that fo the reason that it holds up before us on of the greatest privileges that can com to the children of God. There is a difference of opinion as t who the author of the Psalms may b< We -et into the way of thinking tha Davit wrote everything in the Psaltei but Moses is the author here. The Ta. mud ascribes not only this one to him bu the nine preceding is well. The rule i that all the Psalms without a name i the title are to be ascribed to the poe whose name is given in the nearest precec ing title, but this rule will not ahvays hol, good. This is the Paln quoted by th devil when he was tempting Christ upol the mountain, and it has ever been throc bing with comfort for every trouble< soul. Whoever wrote it, it is beautifu: and all will agree that the lesson taugh is one touching our communion with Goi and our fellowship with .Jesus Christ. It is very true thit all Christians d not occupy the same position in thi world. A1 are saved, and it is by th same "prc..ious blood of Christ." Bu there is so nuch more to the (hi'-ia1 life than simp:y being saved: that i only the be'iing. The blessings her offered are given in a very general way God is no respec.ter of persons, and so it I as if He had salid. any one who will fulfil the conditions may have the b essing: an as there is onlv the one condition, naimel that we :hali~ dwell *n the "secre. pac of the Most High," you iould think tha all would accept. for the promise is tha we "shall abide under the hadow of th Almighty." The blessings here promise are not for P1l blievers, but only fo those who live In close fellowship wit God. Every child of God looks towar the inner sanctuary and the merey seat u. all do not dw.ell there. -They rin t times and enjoy o"casional glimpse he face of Him o is there to b but they do not continually abid he mysterious presence. and this ibl!e for every on.e. is vwith the desire that I migh t. em ksson myself .s IVell as brin: it t and with the abnos- unuatirabi ing that we might know hov to abidl the "secret of His pre~euce" that e b:-ought your the subject. May ti d help us every one: t have bee-fn 0i mountain tops; of Chistian exper ce. when I have :Cemed to see tie; fac Hin who loved me and ;ave Hin.e r me. and I am stre thL Vou can s:' the same; but the text says th-at we ma abide there in our thouaht, white we, ma be all the time in the Very thickest of th tight for God. I like the verze. .eryv word is s'veete thani honev in the honeveonh. It is s restful to know that th'ere is any plac in the world where *.:Xe may~ abide. Ther is also sonmethming very -ainning toi mei the fact that it i-: a -c:-ret place. for thai surely mewans that (od has somer hing tha s us- '&ended.n: "Ie. and for me alone When I am there. I amt away fromi th .yorld. It is the p:ace Mrs. Brown die covered when she wrote the beaatifu hymn.

The-re is something- about the wore "shadow" that always interests. fo- ther nevr has been a shiadow without' t light; thas the "secret place" muntst he; plac of brightness. It is a place wher God is. for t'he nearest oi ali tnings to m as I jo::rneyt in thc sunlighit is my shadou aind he woo waiks in my sha~dow or resti in it must be very near to ie; so tna when I am in the adom of God. I ca1 reach forth my .hand -ad touc H-im: can lift up mne eyeS and see Himn fac to face. 1 know ther is a sens.e Iin winc] God is always nena-u. He is in all Ihin' and He is every whIer. But there isme thing about the "secrt of IH presence ~o which every one Iis astranger unti has dwelt there. In the 119th Psalm the psalmist seem in the first part to be writing of th presence of God in a general sort of way As another nas said. "He had been beat ig out the g2'en ore of thought througl succesasive paragraphs of marvelous powe and beauty when suddenly in the fifty first verse hie seems to have become cot scious that He of whora he had beel speaking had drawn near and was bendin; over him. 'the sense of the presence c God was borne in upon his inner con sciousness, and lifting up a face ont whiec reverence and ecstacy met and nmingled hie cried: "Thou art near, 0 Lord!'"I we could only attain unto this hiow. stron how happy, how useful we should be. It possible as well for those of us who ar in the very' midst of perplexing cares a for the pnest or the saint; for since th Master bids us all to abide in Him, an, does not limit either His meaning or th number ef people who may obey. I ai absolutely certain that it rests with mn shall takf advantage of our high privil ege. I The typieal reierence must be to th - .holy place of the tabernacle, which th priests were privileged to enter, bet Pete assureg as that we have beconme in thi new aispens::tion "a holy priesthood, so that it is possibice for us to enter o that ground. If this interpretation is a lowed, then it is something. too won derful almost to describe, to which w are bidden, for in tihe tabernacle just be vond the veil was the glory cloud, an' all the mnaraitieence that :ould he wrouagh in gold and silver. pturpie andlt fine linen. But I am~ persuaded that even that wa as nothing wheni compnared to that whic: an'aits us -when we euter the secret phac of God. The writer to the Hebrews tell us just how wve may enter. "Having therecre, brethren. boldness to enter int the holiest b the btood1 of Jeus by, niew. and livin" wa'. which IRI' hath conse crated for us, thoughn the veil.d ta to say H's lesh." how c asy. it all sem when we look at it in this w'a': Christiain is all wron a" ccor din' to thm text if he thinks thiat all tie life hereb low~ rmst he turmoil andl ste for ther is an abiding even here, and a swect id isturbed commiun'on ev.en inl the mid ~the tempest.

It the idea of a hoe. W\hat can be mor restful and comfortaibe? The Hebhrew in the exnression "snall abide is sh paso the night." Is it not a wor derful thing that the experiences tha have seemed to us to he Heaven b: gun below, but have been as fleetinig a the shadows sweeping the hillside. may h: with us all the time? What place is restful as your hone? 1 know there is rest that comes to one the momient ht accepts the pardon that is offered by th Redeemer and the borden of sin is gon< "Come unto Me. aend I will give you rest. This is His promise, and Hue never ha failed: but immediaiely following that e: pression is this: "Take My yoke upon vou, and learn of Me. for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls." I suppose one miajht secure the former and never come to the latter. Is not that the rest that carmes to us when we are near enough to 1 . 1iM. which Is only another wi ok speakhing of the "e cret iplace?" What oUac'e is -:. oor)tare o the homne' There me aie rce iroimi' a novances of the wo-d: tchre -::hve that winch seems to soothie and to uict. Could there.he aythi"nrmore expr ir than the words are find in the r'th verse of the 41st Psalm: "He shall over thee with His feathers.l It would be al most a sacriiege ror one--to use the worl if they were not in -the-Bible: but it is the riciure of the mother bird shieblin'g the little ones. What so warm. so com fortablg, as the mother's wvings, r. the nest that love has made? But listin to this: if you will only dwell in the "'ecret r place," you shall abide under.the sh,,ad'ow e of the Almighty: and as if that would not be tender enough to woo.uis, we are to, again, "He shall cover thee with His feathers. and uder His wings thou shalt trust." t Home is the rlace for expianations. There we tell our secrets. If the ieople of the world do not understand us. our t loved ones in our homes do. 2 II. t It would be iinossible for one to read the verses imedi-tely following the text I without being impressed with the fact e that the most remarkable results will , follow our a'rhding and dwelling in the "secret place.'" I In order that the subject may he the more practical and helpful I desire '>su t gest ->ome things which will surely be ours I when we fulfil. the conditions. 1. In the **sccret place" there is peace. "In the world ve shall have tribulation." our Master said. "but in Me ye shall - have- peace." I have read that a certain t insect has thm ower to <urround iself I with a him of air, eneompasF'cd in% which it drops into the midst of muidd. ste E nant pools. and remains unhurt. And the believer may b thus surrourived by the s atmosphere of God. and while he is in the I midst of the turmoils of the world be may. I be filled to overilo-.ving with the peace of God, bcan tse Goil is with him. a This is true whatever vour orcuipa1tion. t it is ever so Menial. The Rev. F. B. t Meer tells us of Lasvrence. the simple mllinded -ook. who said that "for more than I sixty years he never !ost the sense of the r"ente of God. but was as conscious o it wh' perforrrin.g the duties of his I htyuble oflive ra wilen partakini of the LoTA '%n iuppqr." What peace lie must hAve had, If you are const:iitv enga-ed so that Voll n ha abii it was imp1ssible for You L to ('njoy your religio-, very muchbecaulse vou were so bur. still vou may have this pearc. bcau.--e you aie inl the "secret Siace." I knov that ik imt tole for one to keen two thoight in te mind at the same ti' ,o and do themi'a hoth ju.ice: or Ienre i< the heart t wel as the I rand and while the mind is busy the . har nu 'a' re'iocinz in al tlh fullness oI Go.

So time mind may be toccupied to the vr-r fullest extent. and even he ditrbed by thle things about us. while the heart may in e abidinig in sweet -conmnunion arid ie.liwship with H-im be Icause we are dw'.el.ng in the "secret rilace." Thoc'e were coimiortmng words of the IMaster'' when He u'aid. "Peace I leave wIt Mo,3y peace I give unto you, no; le th vorini givethi. give 1 unto you. Let noit v:mr heairts be tr-oublesd. neither -etthe"' ~e odrald." So tha~t I may have aIpeace ' on whieni trial comes. D~avid fouiad athis to be true, for ina that beautiful aPsalm. the -.thi. he says: "In the time~ in tire swret of His tabernar-le will 1He shide me." 'The pav.ilioni was a great teniL tin the very edre of thre camp. amid wiren he was d:ere n~oting could harm himi: Ihe could lie at peace even.if he ,hould hear the sounds of his cenmies. But the ae:<pression in even stronrger than thhct, for David says th::t- if it wvere necessary God wouijd evon put, Fm in thre "secret of IH tabert-ele:" thiat is the same as the IHolv or Jhu: . and who wvould not have beeni 'afe there? Here is our "secret Splace" again. and this is just where God Shas given us the privilege of going. Why should wse he disturbed if troubles are abou.t us. and our enemies rise up to do us harm? r2. In thre "sectret place" there is purity. If our surroundings, were only better in this world. our lives would be purer. It is very easy io be god in the company of Ssomec peopile we knowi.; they seem to draw tout all the good in us. To lbe surrounded by certain kinds of scenery is to he liite'd 2near Heaven; to toucha a little child pure as the atnoels of God is to receive a bene fdiction. Vhat could not thre presence of God do for us if only we were all the time cojnse~ius of it? This is just what 1 Cmay have. (lid 1 but dwell in 'the "secret splace." Onae of the reasons which DavHl tgives for desirinrg to dwell in thre house of the Lord was that'"he might behod the ebeauty 'of the Lord." Iwish that it might be possible for me to make plain to you as I might un aderstanad it imyselif all the beauty that waits us it: the "secret place." T'hink of the gorgeousness of tire Ho~ly of Hlolies in the ancient tabernacie. which is a type of thiis! The wvonderful curtains and anaginrgs of tire elace, its bhite and puirpke. -its tine twined linen and threads of gold. Thinkc oi the beautiful v'eil with the ~herubimr. with the embroidery' o fine that anlgel fingers must have wrought them, the table of pure gold hrolding. the bread. andi thre seven-broanched "andle stiek? Who from tire outtide looking upon the badger-skina tent would hrave imagined how glorious at was within? So I (10 not think it veould he poswible to make plain to you all that awaits you in t-he "secret splace.' He who hats dwa'elt there wsith God Icould no' tell Iris joy if ire had an angel's aspeech: but thais I know. that if you will b ut enter in and dwvell there, the very' beauty of the place will mrake you pure, -.and you rueember that t is only unto a"the pure in heart" that. the vision of God is promrsed. I su'ppose "we might irave been with JTacobi when~ inm his dream lie baw tire havns opened 'ande beheld thre aiagels Soing up andr comin.; downa aind heard the voie of God.ir and we only should havec een the dir ari ountiains r'ound abrout. I Id.oubt o r'hy that we mright have tbe n wsith a ul whien Ire was caught up to tethird hieav'nr. and we shoumld have enntigbuit the hrumbile surrozndings a' o his tent. And I doubrt not bitt that it Paurl wfere hrere to-day lie wourld see GoC d hi" this maor'nia:.. andr hre would "ave wmalked on thre streetr with im ve:,terdar. Is not tire trouble with ourselved instead of our sur-roundings or 1ouir timnes? Every perimittedl sin encrutss "he windows of thre soul anid blinds our vision: andr every victory' over evil clears tire vision of tire soul, and wve can see sHim a little plainer. eTire uinholy man could not see' God' if h le ,vere set downi in the midst of Heaven: abrit men and women whose hearts are epure see Thin in the very commonest walks eof life. And there is not a place in the world if it is right that wec should have. been there, but after we have passed by swe may say, "Blehold, God was in this place, and I knew it not.' And ii we can not say it. it is wrong for us to go. 3. in the -secret place" there is power. Oh! that we might all of us possess real power! This is our cry by day and by nirht, and yet there is nothing we may a hia-c easier. There is no promise with which I am familiar that tells us that we may have power of intellect or of hunarn rniht. But there is a promise that we thl sia e - power aler that the Holy (host shall wome upon us. and in the o),en m 1 !!tral iled. to overfow ing the Hy ofy Ifl ie.o that at one hJne it w, alo3 iiposib'e for one to r Ti-, will coe to uwi ikewise whei we dwPl in the "seCret phic-.''
