M'GUFFEY. of bai to pie o Theme: The End of Things. e- .. mo * . of Elmaurst, L. I.?In St. James* P. con & E. Church, the rector, the Rev. E. M. Is 1 (j McGuffey. preached Sunday morning of on the "'End of Things." He took his tloi text from St. Luke 21: "For the anc n powers of heaven shall be shaken." thli n Mr. McGuffey said: Joy is always more Joyous when alw 0 underneath it is a foundation of er f thoughtfulnes3. Thoughtful people trii have everywhere and always the ad- < vantage over thoughtless people, not 1 With the latter class joy Is too often obe o like the "crackling of thorns under a ed pot." Here Joy is likely to be like the the pleasure children; light hearted, ren f temporary, evanescent and meaning- Sue j less; mere animal spontaneity, unre- rig] flective. wel On the other hand, also, half di- i 3 gested considerations of the solem- des ? nity and seriousness of life, considera- ser tions of it not thought thoroughly to ma a conclusion, are too apt to alarm the and sober us unduly, and produce tral that timid and melancholy frame of \ mind that refrains as far as possible and from thinking at all on the great and sun serious problems of human life. Lord ma Bacon once said: "A little philos- end ophy inclineth men to atheism." He nine might have said also that a large sur- lou: vey of the laws governing the world eve and the human mind establish a be- this lief in the absolute and benevolent elei scversignty of God over human life. din I shall be pleased, therefore, to Not have you do two things: Ev< First, to make all the jovous days app of the Christian year and all the joy- pas ous occasions of your personal life fori more intelligently joyful by careful in consideration of the truths and facts fire which underlie them. If a few months sen ago we reflected on the true thought its of Christmas Day, the incarnation, atoi the gift to the world from the skies froi of a Divine Saviour, assuring us of earl J the care and love of the great Heaven- gav ly Father. I am sure we experienced orij a happiness that was contagious, be- gas cause it was deep rooted. If we ex- to plained lucidly to the dear children uni in our homes why and how Christmas not became Christmas, I am sure we i sowed precious seed in the rich soil ing; s of their young hearts. of i With these considerations I pas3 beg to our second thought, viz.: ter The ending of this planet as the onl: thpntrp nnH homo nf 11 f ** ' ' 1 v.* .........nr. inn Dramatic and terrible as is this All thought in contemplation, let us seek q to entertain it that it may be reas- piai suring rather than demoralizing. If hon the ending of the career of this world in i as a planet is to me a tremendous it f physical catastrophe, a probable re- win absorption into the sun by an impact be of collision which will instantly va- c porize it by the enormous heat gen- wai erated by collision, this apparently is t tragic and.utter ending of the earth is by an ending ordained by God. along the ard lines of infinite wisdom and love. It elm will be no more remarkable, when i viewed in this light, than the drop- tern ping of an autumn leaf, that, having tell served its function, is bidden to sub- and serve other uses. befi It is wortly of remark that the peo statement of our Saviour that this the planet would come finally .o fiery ex- con tinction, anticipated by near 2 000 con years the deductions and conclusions the of astronomical science. For a gen- tint eration at least, astronom?r3 have ara known that the earth was slowly Us drawing nearer to the sun. As this pro approach is by very easy stages, al- fac< though positive and actual, it will he gra c many hundreds of thousands of years upv before the final catastrophe occurs, of ! And so, just now, we need be under sist ls no immediate apprehension, in spite wai ie of the periodic alarms of our friends, raei <1 the Second Adventists. the (' Before this happens, the education a si of the human race will have been the finished. Before this happens, all etei i_ terrestrial heat will probably have beb 0 left the body of this planet. With us ' the cooling of the earth, all water ' on the surface of the globe, and all atmosphere will have been drawn in18 to the core of the earih, and the earth ( will have become a dead planet like Gff - the moon. With the cooling of the sajrp.rth, and the disappearance of water and air, all organic life, vegetable p0ij nr.d animal, will have ceased, and the <j0t earth become a dead planet. Gradu- fro] ally the centrifugal motion which .jng keeps the earth away from the sun, enc as it Whirls around it, will be over- av>i come by the centripetal attraction eve which is drawing the earth toward asj; the sun. Let me explain by a simple the illustration: A boy ties a stone on for j the end of a 3tring. after the manner ^y of a sling. He swings it round and 0? j ; round. Should he let go the string, fuii I the stone wpuld fly off into space. wpj But holding tightly to the string, he rac gradually shortens It. ar.d In the SOri meantime keens the stone whirling, my the stone will presently strike his sio: hand when the string is short enough. un(] And the stone will strike hard. As- tra trononiy tells us that the earth is the Kir sione, and the sun is the boy. The jes string is the invisible cord which we d. call gravity. The sun 13 gradually shortening this cord. When it is | short enough, this power of gravity | | will pall tlie earth into the sun. The 1 ! earth wlli stikc the sun so hard that shi ' Its entire mass will be vaporized in HI? ! an instant and all its constituent ele- ihr j ments resolved into its original con- day | tiiticn. So vast is the sun that any thi: | one of Its great chasms, which we call do t I spots, is large enough to swallow the sel< J earth without touching its sides. So Thi ; vast is the sun that the addition to it per i'- of this whole planet would be as if fllli wo threw a single lump of coal into thi: " a great furnace. G6i Although all life will have ceased ant e before this cataclysm, when we reflect An - | upon the destruction of the triumphs of art, science and civilization, the t numberless marvellous things which men have mado and built and deemed 1 of priceless value, all to go In one hat fiery holocaust, some considerations a present themselves to thoughtful too minds. And first, perhaps, to the wll pious thinker, comes the thought pui that, however God may have assigned on , to man the duty to subdue nature and tur . develop civilisation. It was only that lmi nature's forces might be harnessed coi ft is the service of man, and that civil- mo ( (ton, blossoming into morality and tars, might bo fore taste of and i pa ration for oar life as It will be ?d in higher spheres. Entirely apart from considerations the coarseness and crassness of barous and semi-barbarous peos, and the lowest classes of ciwllllon, several hundreds of thousands years will be necessary before the ral. spiritual and social training our race approaches satisfactory idltlons. The conviction therefore 'orced upon us. that In the thought God, moral and spiritual educa i* ?o v* |rai niuuauv iux)jui lauLC, I that all things earthly subserve s end by the appointment of die providence. Hence man must ayB be regarded as Infinitely greatthan the world itself, and all the imphs of civilization. Sod's dealings with human life are so inscrutable after all. To the idient, affectionate and right-mindchlld in our homes, the laws of household and the will of the pats are never subjects of mystery. :h child kijows by the instinct of ht perception that they are for its 1-belng and ultimate advantage. V.nd so it comes that the final fiery tination of the world, after it has red its purpose, fills us with no disy. It will have served its use as schoolroom in which we were all Ined. Ve, I take it, shall be elsewhere, I not greatly concerned that the i has devoured our old home. We y therefore contemplate the fiery ling of this world with entire equality. And yet herein is a marvels thing. Science assures us that n after millions of years of use of i world by animals and men, its orients will be just as fresh and untinished as when the world began. :hing will have been worn out. irything in use only changes. Its larent wear and tear is only a sing from one form to another m. A bundle of wood is placed our kitchen stove to kindle the . It i3 consumed. It ashes repret what the tree took from the soil, carbon goes up the chimney, rering to the air what some tree took m the air. Nothing was lost. The Ih received again what it originally e. To the air was restored its ;inal contribution of carbonic acid , which the leaf manufactured inwood. And so God has made a verse of perennial youth, where hing is lost or can be lost, t is the law of God that the onds of all things are the beginning lew things. When night ends, day ins. When summer ceases, win1b upon us. The old year ends y to project its power or weakness i the new. Nothing is stationary, things are fluid and progressive, 'he sure and final ending of this net suggests that it was but the ne and school room of human life its initial stages. When we leave or a larger and greater world, or jn It finally ceases to be there need no regret nor undue alarm. )ur considerations, in looking for d, cause us to read into life as it he great truth that all things are divine appointment working towa great ethical and dramatic con-don. n spite of the present popular dency against church attendance, I [eve that more people are truly thoughtfully religious than ever ore. It is bound to be so when pie become thoughtful. For then y must see that "Now we have no tinning city, but we seek one to le." But all this is the story of gospel. Our Saviour taught dis;tlv that this life is but the preption for higher life. He incited to prepare for it carefully. He mised that no cne who set liis 8 towards the skies should want ce nnd strength for the difficult rard climb. The beautiful Church God stands pledged for this asance. It exists to help men up d and onward. It exists to help a not only in all social ways along hard lines of life, but to give them trong hand as they struggle out of natural into the spiritual and rnal. The natural being left well ind, it need not greatly concern what becomes of it. A Prayer For the Aged. )h. mos' merciful God. cast mp not in the time of my old age.

TIME.?Midsummer, A. D. 2S. ? PLACE.-?Capernaum. EXPOSITION.?I. Warnings of Unutterable Woe to the Imponj^. 20-24. The works of Ood are-* ca?l to repentance (cf. Ro. 2:4; Acts 17; 30, 31). The greater and more manifest the works the louder the call to repentance. If we see great works of God and do not repent, we bring greater guilt and condemnation upon ourselves. Chorazin and Bethsaida had been witnesses to marvelous workings of God's grace and power in Jesus Christ. These should have 1 brought them to repentance and the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Saviour and Lord. But they had not repented. They had closed their eyes and hardened their hearts and that which was intended for their salva- ' tion became their condemnation. Christ accepted brings salvation and eternal life; Christ rejected brings greater condemnation and more intolerable judgment and penalty (Heb. 10:28, 29). Their impenitence was utterly without excuse and Jesus upbraided them for it. But we have < more light than Chorazin and Bethsaida. How then must Jesus regard those who do not repent among us? Sodom was a very guilty city. Its vileness has become the synonym of all that is most indescribably loathsome in vice, but the guilt of New York and Chicago, London and other American and English cities is greater than that of Sodom; for these cities have rejected greater light. The amount of light given and rejected is \ the measure of the guilt of the nation and of the individual. Caper- ( naum thought it would surelv he e*. alted to heaven because of the great grace bestowed upon it, but Jesus sair^his would drag it down to hades, because that boasted grace was de- ( spised and neglected. Our blessings as a nation will drag us down to I hades unless we repent. Jesus con- j templated the coming judgment of ( Chorazin and Bethsaida with unutterable sorrow (cf. Matt. 23:37). i How gredt must be the sorrow with which He contemplates the judgment soon to come on the men and nations ' of to-day who reject the wondrous light given them. Jesus puts the re- I jection of Himself as the supreme sin and the one meriting heaviest con- I demnation, another proof of His deity. Jesus is the supreme manifes- < tation of truth and God. The rejec- f"' tion of Him is, therefore, the final revelation of a heart wedded to dark- ' ness, error and sin; it is the supreme, decisive, damning sin (cf. Jno. 3:18, < 19). II. Promises of Unspeakable Joy \ to Those Who Come to Jesns, 23-30. In v. 25 we find one of the most im- i portant principles upon which God deals with men in the revelation of t His truth. If we are to get God's in- ' finite wisdom we must renounce our finite wisdom. The man who is full of his own wisdom cannot have God's (cf. Is. 5:21; 1 Cor. 1:18-27). If we ( are to be wise with the true wisdom, we must take our place as fools to be ( taught by the All-wise (1 Cor. 3:1820). Jesus Christ rejoiced in the j Spirit and thanked God that this is so " (Luke 10:21, R. V.). The 27th verse . contains a tremendous statement nt * the authority committed to Jesus. It is to be taken in the broadest and f most absolute sense (Matt. 28:18; Jno. 3:35; 13:3; 17:2; Eph. 1:20- i 23; Phil. 2:10, 11; Heb. 2:8-10; Acts 10:36). God has actually committed a the whole universe, celestial as well as terrestrial, into the bands of Jesus a Christ. We have a wonderful and ' mighty Saviour. He Is also a wise Saviour, He thoroughly knows God. | He alone does, and those to whom He wills to reveal Him. How foolish I then are those who seek to know God by a study of philosophy or theo3o- | phy, or comparative religion. Out side of the revelation Jesus Christ a makes of the Father, God is, indeed, \ as the agnortic says, "the Unknowable." But there is one who knowrf ( God and who is ready to give to any one who will believe on Him an un- { derstandlng that he. also may know God (1 Jno. 5:20). The words of v. d 2 8 are among the most wonderful * that ever fell from the lips of Him a who spake as never man spake. Here " again His deity shines out bright and . clear. What presumption or lunacy | it would have been in Jesus to have said this if He were mere man. But I that it is neither presumption nor lunacy is amply proven by the fact that i thousands upon thousands have put these words to the test of actual ex- a periment and found them absolutely * true. Jesus does give rest. Note ' four things in this wonderful invi- q tation: (1) Who Invites?Jesus. (2)' ^ Whom He invites?all that labor and 4 are heavy laden. Commentators have sought to set various limitationi^t$en .1 this, e. g., "those who labo-^f>ider burden of guilt." It includef<ve.?8e. d but is not limited to them. It .

No matter i what, overburdened man, Jesus says, v J "Come." (3) To what He invites? 2 rest. That is what the human heart J2 craves, that is what Jesus gives. (4), jm The condition. "Come." That is all. Note also to Whom we are to "Come," ?9 "unto Me," not unto a creed, unto $ a church, unto a person, and that person, Jesus Himself.
