"SLEEP AS COD'S CIFT." The Rev. T. A. Nelson, D. D., TJeliverR a Stirring: AcldreBS on the Subject. "Sleeplessness," With nn Appropriate Text of Comprehensive Meaning. Brookt.vx, N. V.?At the Second Presbyterian Church Sunday morning the pastor, the Rev. T. A. Nelson, D. D., preached >n the subject. "Sleeplessness." He took 'or his text, Daniel ii, part of first verse. 'His spirit was troubled and sleep went :rom him," and said: That line of the poet Young, "Sleep, na;ure's sweet restorer," like every other true )oet's saying, was inspired. '"Blessings ight on him who first invented sleep," says Sancho Panza, in "Don Quixote," and Coleridge exclaims, in the "Ancient Mariier," "0, sleep, it is a gentle thing!" Tenlyson speaks of "the mystery of golden ileep," and what a mystery indeed it is. It s the most interesting and the most perplexing of all physical and metaphysical Tkn T>ir\fV?nr )iATir1.4 lovinorlv >ver her infant in the cradle and wonders .vhat it means?this harmless, painless, apsiug of all life into unbroken tranquility. Those little hands, now so quiet, but ;o busy most of the time, how beautiful ind still they are now. Those limbs composed in attitudes of such unconscious jrace, lying on the pillow: how hard it jenerally is to keep them in order during vakeful hour3. And how. unspeakably solemn it is to think how far the child is now )e.vond our reach.' Who is it, when the ace of the mother fades from the vision, hat takes its soul in charge? But when n man sleeps the spectacle is nore suggestive. Think of Caesar on his ouch, liis vigilant eyes closed, his voice sient. his brain unworlring and still. Think >f Alexander in the night, looking as he inallv looked in the coffin, dead. Imagine io\v David felt when he saw Saul entering he cave. Think of Cicero fast asleep. Think )f the sleeping Christ lying asleep in the midst of the tempest, as if He were resting n the heart of God. When Christ turns iway from us with closed eyes there is alvr.vs afforded opportunity for the storm. lVo sra rvnlv nt- npnnp while He is wakeful'v ivith us. While He sleeps not onlv is the ight withdrawn, but the darkness is felt to ;he utmost; life's ship is tossed with the ;torm and we are threatened with mortal ianger. A sleeper Christ will do me no ;ood. A painted Christ will not be of the ;asuest service in my life. A wooden crucifix or ivory cross will not help me. It nust be a wakeful Christ with every energy astir; power in every look and movement; an actual, positive, real and personal Christ. We are mocked by His igure: we are saved by His personality, [t is Christ.mot in the temporary paralysis )f unconscious sleep, but Christ alert in (vatchful omnipotence that I need. Unless ive nightly sink into sleep we are not presared to live, and anything over which we lave control which prevents out sleeping n proportion to our need should be es;eemed guilt before God. Since the strength >f our life belongs to Him we are not at iberty to waste it. Nevertheless, in our lay we live in such fashion that, like the ?astern monarch, our spirits are troubled md our sleep departs. This has comt- about sometimes from the baste to get rich. People rise early and sit up late in their eager pursuit of wealth, md when the iadinz day is done at last md they lay their heads upon their pilows, sleep may fly from, them and they may seek it in vain. Now this is not a lipht matter. There are few things more iispiriting and truly exhausting thai\ the oss of natural sleep; to count hour after hour in feverish wakefulness, seeking forjetfulness which'will not come. Now what is the root of all this distress? The physician will doubtless diagiose it as owing to unhealthy excitement >f brain and undue sensitiveness of the lervous system. But in its last analysis rou will find as a general rule the great :ause of this weary wakefulness, anxiety ind misery is simply want of faith in God. tt is because we are not able, as we ought ;o trust ourselves and all that concerns us :o a sure providence, and many of you enow that it is mental anxiety that breaks four rest. It is because you are trying to jear the burden and build the house your;elves, to keep the city yourselves, that rou have the anxious hours. It is because r*ou will plan too far ahead instead of let:ing each day bear its own burden; because you will ask what is to become of rou and your children if such and such nn :vent takes place; because you will take he future into your own hands instead of eaving it to Jesus. But why should we not have faith in Sod? If we had, many of us. would not ve sleep? If, once for all, you have in;rusted your soul to His keeping you are :ure that all things will go well; that nothng can go amiss; that God will keep you, ingels will guide your footsteps and "the EIol.v Spirit will dwell within you from lour to hour. You will then lay your head lown upon your pillow and rise again, with he morning light, refreshed. a cl x : 2. _ i Aiier irving iu explain away our weary lours of sleeplessness on the basis of pliylical infirmity, we have to confess that the eal source is found in. the things that prey >n our minds by day and break our rest at light, and mixed with those anxious houghts there are tl*e thoughts that will ntrude themselves of a more serious charicter. In the still, wakeful hours, even he most heedless one is forced occasionally o think of Him before whom we must ;urelv appear and give account of ourielves. It is impossible, then, quite to supjress a question as to where the soul will je when the body shall be down in its litle bed, when all earthly things have faded rom us. But if you can truly trust that it s well with you, that ainid your deep unvorthiness you are simp'y believing on our Saviour and are striving to grow like lim; that your task is appointed you of Jod, however humble your sphere, it is arge enough to achieve character; if you ;an always feel that Christ is near and pnrlV hpln* tVinf. vaii nrwl flmco nonr fn ou are provided for by Him and that you ;hall never want; if you have once for all earned whether awake or asleep that you ire the Lord's and that you shall live to;ether with Him, then surely you may sink nto untroubled rest and sleep a refreshing tnd peaceful sleep. But let me come closer still to the expcrence of some perhaps amon'i professing Christians. You know that healthful sleep s our most peaceful state. You see human lature in that state in which it is most horougbly free from all annoyance and rouble, and that is a symbol ot' the provnce. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect >eaee whose mind is stayed on Thee." rhat is a wonderful promise, but there is 10 blinking the fact that comparatively ew even among those who claim to be rue followers, ever experience it in its fulless. As a rule it is far from being perect. One of the ancient schoolmen wrote n summing up the chief characteristics of ife: "I entered this world, in loneliness; I lave lived in anxiety; I shall leave it in ear." That about expresses the situation )f many of you. Look at the faces on the street. Almost every one is careworn and tnxious. There is no doubt that care sits leavily on mankind. What is wrong? Simply this: That while God has promised >eaee and is ready to give it it must be revived by faith. It goes without saying ;hat the amount of peace and quiet we iLall experience will be in proportion to >ur trust in God. If we were Teally able :o trust God with everything instead of loing, as most Christians do, never trustng God and more than they can help and lever fcelinf you are thinking that if some particular ;hing which vexes you were out of the way rou would be all right and your pcace vould flow as a river. No, that is not the .rouble. It is not some petty vexation ;hat constitutes the bitterness in your cup. tf you probe your hearts deeper you will liscover that the real reason is that you >re not right with God. You have not ruly and heartily believed in Jesus. You lave thought a good deal about religion, nit you havo. never clearly taken the peaceAll step, and until you do you will never ixperience a true and abiding peace. Until you do this fully in obedience and devotion to Jesus Christ; not until you arc able ;o say, very humbly, yet with sincerity: "I - * * , '-S< know whom I have believed." Not till then can you be at peace. I am not called upon to explain the mystery of Christ by which we are able to arrive at this blessed conviction of faith. It would be a difficult tiling to follow by a logical process. There are many things in the working out of your deepest conscience which are beyond our logic. Nevertheless, I say there is no escape into the realm of rest save by faith in the atoning grace of .Tesus Christ. The thing that is at the bottom of the fear is the latent conviction that you ore not right with God. Tt is that which kept you vaguelv unsatisfied. It is eating the heart out of your enjoyment of life. Get that right once and you will receive the "peace of God which passeth understanding." Perhaps I may not have been sufficiently personal, direct and pungent, and, if so. I nray God's forgiveness and yours. It will not heal a deeply poisoned wound to skin it over. I pray vou, probe your hearts to the uttermost. Tf you feel you have been wrong until now begin to be right from this hour. Get the rcntral stay made firm and strong. Get fast hold of God. The great step is to be really persuaded that God is your Tathef To be persuaded that He loved you, unworthy as you are; that Tie reckons you among the number of those to -whom He gives eternal life. The unrest comes from the fear that you have not sot on the_ solid ground; that you are still worse, risking the losing of your soul. At any moment the Master may rise and close the door, Your soul may suddenly look back upon the probation period forever and look forward toward-heaven for everlasting. 0, try, I be?eech you. for the hone set forth in the gosnel. Have it out with God. once for all. Get on terms of peace with Him before the day may close. Cast yourseli in the everlasting arms. # " I have spoken of two things. First, the consuming care: second, the latent conviction. There is one other experience thai may break our sleep. I pray God that none of you may have it. It is the experience of one who has committed spiritual suicide In one of Victor Hugo's books there is a character who, after a long series ot exper iences. at last arrived at a great crisis; ht wavers, hesitates, and then commits a co lossal sin. Conscience is insulted beyond forgiveness. Then suddenly he hears, as il were, an internal burst of laughter?laugh ter of the soul?and the souPrarely hear< this innermost laughter more than onc( without hearing it forever. This charactei afterward falls asleep and dreams. He en ters the town; he comes upon many mer standing in various postures, silent and im movable, as if dead. In unspeakable terroi he tries to flee out of the lifeless city when, looking back, he is appalled to se< the inhabitants coming after him. Thej overtake him and hold him and cry: "Dc you know that you have been dead for f long while? Now and then, in polite so eiety, in select communities, even in this fellowship, urfknown to us, but not un known to God. one comes upon one o! these dead men. who have heard the inter nal burst of laughter, who mocks and de fies God and insults divine mercy. Then is such a thing as spiritual suicide. Mei sometimes by their action or non-actioi take the life of the soul; thev are dead t( repentance and to hope, and at last the] nre dead to God. Thus men drive sleej forever from their evelids, like Macbeth When once the conviction seizes upon th( soul then farewell to slumber and peace. God forgive me if I have spoken to< plainly, if I have misrepresented the spiri of truth, but if I have been true to th< word of God then let him that hath eari hear what the spirit says: "To-day, if yoi will hear His voice, harden not voui hearts." Lay hold upon eternal life. Thei you may lay down in sleep, since when yo\ awake you shall still be with Him; am wh<"'Vr vou wake or not, you will be th< Lord's and His forever. God's Overture to Us. .Tehovah is the unchanging God. To-da; He answer* our lousing desires, savins "There is a place beside 3ie." He wouh not keep us at a distance, but always woo us to nearness. That place is the place o understanding. You must see the pictur< at its right angle if you would know iti meaning. So it is in life. History and ex perience have their dark problems. Thi stained glass window is a mystery whei seen from within by artificial light. Bu when the sunlight streams through anc transfigures it, we read its meaning. S< God would let His light fall upon our pas experiences, and reveal His purposes work ing through their ever-changing vicissi tudes. It is also the place of His presence Jacob is much slower to leave Bethel thai he was to rnn into it. The thought o Esau filled him with fear. But he sav "the place beside God." and said, "Th< Lord is in this place." The experience! of life may not alter, but they are vastlj different when we are conscious of God'i presence amid them. It is the place o transfiguratiorr. The unbroken calm o God's peace, and the assurance of cterna security and success take possession of th< soul and the outer life responds to this in ner possession. This reserved place anc waiting blessing is God's overture to us a' the threshold of another year.
