^H LIKESilARP RAZORS Qod't Judgments Are Swits and Sure. X 4 * NATIONAL SINS PUNISHED By Keen Instruments No Calami? ty Happens By Chance, But Is Directed By Divine Wisdom. Dr. Taluiago, in his journey westward through Kuropo, has rooently visited scenes of thrilling historic events, llo socds this sermon, in whioh ho shows that nations aro judged in this world and that God rewards them for their virtuoa and punishes them for their orimos. Tho text is Isaiah viii, 20, "In tho same dav shall the Lord shavo with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond tho river, by tho king'of Assyria " Tho Bible is tho boldest book ever written. TUero are no similitudes in Osaianortho Iliad or the Olvssoy so daring. Its imagery somotiinos seems otj the vergo of tho reckless, but only seems 60. Tho fact is that God would startle and arouso and propel men and ^ nations. A tamo and limping simili% tude would fail to accomplish tho object. While the.ro aro times when ho employs in tho Itiblo tho gentle dew and the morning cloud and the dove and the daybroak in the presentation of truth, wo often find tho iron chariot, the lightning, tho earth quake, the spray, tho sword and, in my text, the razor This keen bladcd instrument has advanced in usefulncss with tho agos. In Bible times and lands tho beard remained uncut save in tho sea sons of mourning and humilation, hut tho razor was always a suvgostivo sysbol. David said of Docg, his antago nist, "Thy tooguo is a sharpo razor working doooitfully"?that is, it protonds to olear tho faoo, but is really used for deadly inoibion. In this striking text this weapon of tho toilet appears under tho following circumstances: Juda*? needed to have some of its prosperities cut off, and God sonds against it three Assyrian kings? first Sonnachcriy, thon HLarh tddon and aftorward Nebuohadnezzar. Those three Bbarp invasions that cut down tho glory of Judwa aro compared to so many sweeps of tbc razrr across the faco of theland. And these devastations were oalled a hired razor bcoause God took the kings of Assyria, with whom ho had no sympathy, to do tho work and paid them in palaces and spoils and annexa tions. These kings were hired to exo onto tho divino behests. And now tho text, which on its first reading may have sotiucd trivial or inapt, is charged with momentous import, "'In the luuio day shall tho JiOrd shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by theui beyond the river, by tbc king of Assyria." Well, if Clod's judgments aro raz >rs, we bad better bo careful how wo use them on other pcoplo. In careful sheath these domostic weapons arc put away wbero no one by accident may touoh them and wboro tho hands of children may not reach them. Such instruments must he oarcfully handled or not haudlod at all. Hut how recklessly somo pooplo wield the judgments of God! If a man meets with business misfortune, how many thcro aro ready to ory out "That is a judgment of God upon him bfeOftUso ho was unscrupulous or arrogant or over reaching or miserly. 1 thought ho would get out down. What a olean ewoop of everything! His city house and oouotry house gone. His stables emptied of all the fiuo hays and sorrels and grays that used to prance by his door. All his resources overthrown and all that he prided himself on tumbled into demolition. Good for him." Stop, my brother. Don't sling around too freely tho judgment of God, for they aro razorB. Somo of tho most wicked business men sucocod, and they livo and dio in prosperity, and somo of tho most honest and oonsoiontious aro driven into bankruptcy. Perhaps tho unsuccessful man's manner was unfortunate, and ho was not really as proud as he looked to bo. Somo of those who carry tiioir lir>adu onit 1/-W.L- i....,,..!! ?? I...... W.VVV MUM IVUft t Hi |'UI J 1 <?IU 11(1111" blo as a child, whilo many a man in seedy ooal and slouch hat and unblacked shoes is as jiroud as Luoifor. You cannot tell by a man's look, Perhaps he was not unscrupulous in business, for there are two sides to every story, and overybody that accomplishes anything for hsmsclf or others gets industriously lied about. Perhaps his business misfortuno was not a punishment, but the fatherly discipline to prepare him for heaven, and God may love him far more than ho loves you, who can pay dollar for dollar and are put down in the commercial catalogues as Al. Whom the Lord lovoth ho gives $400,000 and lets dio on embroidered pillows? No; whom the Lord lovcth ho ohasteneth. Hotter kocp your hand oil the Lord's ranors, lest they out and wound pcoplo that do not deserve it. * If you want to shavo off somo of tho bristling prido of your own heart; do so, but bo very careful how you put tho sharp cdgo on others. How 1 do dislike the behavior of those persons who when people aro unfortunato say, "1 told you bo?getting punished?sorved him right!'! If those 1-told-you bo's got their desert, they would long ago havo been pitched over the battlements. Tho mote in their neighbor's eyes, so small that it takes a mioroseopo to find it, gives theni rnoro trouble thau tho beam whioh obscures their own optics With air sometimes supercilious ar.d sometimes pharasaical and always blasphemous thoy take the razor of divino judgment and sharpen it on tho hoDO of their own hard hearts and then go to work on men sprawled out at full length under disaster, cutting mercilessly. They begin by soft expressions of sniypaty and pity and half praise and lather the victim all over they put on tho | 4 sharp edge. Lot us bo oareful how wo shoot at others lost wo tako down tho wrong ono, remembering tho servant of King William Kufus, who shot at a deer, but tho arrow glanoed against a tree'and killed J the king. Instead of going out with * % shafts to pieroe and razors to cut wo had better mitate tho friend of Kiohard <\jear ie Lion. Hiohard, in tho war of w J M # ilio Crusades, wan captured and itnpris- i otaod, but none of his friends kn*w t where, ho his loyal friend went around i the land from stronghold to stronghold t and sang at each window a snatch of song that H-ohard C <i<urdo lion had f taught him in other days. And ono f day, oomiug beforo a jail whero ho sus- t pectcd hit- king might be iuoarotrated, t he Hang two linos of song, and immediately King lliphard responded from his ] cell with tho other two linos, and ho his < whereabouts were discovered, and a sue 1 oossful movement was at onoo made for his liberation. So lot us go up and I down tho world with tho uiusio oi' kind < words and sympathetic hearts, scrcnad i ing tho unfortunate and trying to get i out of trouble men who had noble natures, but by unforeseen oircumstanoos 1 have boon incarcerated, thus liberating kings. More hymnbookand less razor. Kspcoially ought wo to bo apologetic and merciful towards those who, whilo they have groat faults, have also great virtues Souio people aro barren of vir tuos. N j weeds verify, but noll)Wors. I must not bo two inn eh nnrAirml at a nottle along the fcueo it it ho in a field containing 40 acres of ripo Michigan wheat. ttotno tiino ago naturalists told us thero was on t ho nun a spot 20,000 miles long, but from the brightness and warmth I concluded it was a good d'al of a sun still. Tho sun can afford to have very large spot upon it, though it bo 20,000 miles long, an I I am very apologetic for those men who have great faults, whilo at the sometime thoy have magnificent virtues. Again, when I road in toy lext that the Lord shaves with the fared razor of Assyria tho land of Jud.-ui 1 think my self of tho precision of tJod's providonoo. A raz^r swung the tenth part of an inoh out of tho right lino means cither failure or laceration, hut (Jed's dealings never slip, and they do not miss by the thousandth pat of an inch the right dirootion. People talk as though things in this world wcro at loose ends. Cholera swoops across MarsciHos and Madrid and Palermo, and wo watch anxiously. Will the epidemic hwooi#* ICuropo and America? pooplo say, "That will entirely depend on whothor the inoculation is a success ful experiment; that will depend entirely on <piaranlino regulations; that depend on tho early or late appoaranco of frost. That epidiruio is pitched into the world, and it goes blundering across tho continents, and ii is ali guisswork and an appalling perhaps." I think, perhaps, that <Jod had something to do with it and that his mercy may havo in some way protected us; that ho may have done as much for us as the <|'.t iruutino and llio health ofti corn. u was right and a necessity that 1 all caution should bo usod, hut there i have eoiuo onough macaroni froui Italy, \ and enough grapes froui tho south of t France, and enough rags from tatter- 1 domalions, and hidden in those articles of transportation enough choleraic gorins to liavo left by this time all tho cities mourning in the cemeteries. I thauk all tho doctors and quarantines, but more than all, and first of all, and last of all, and all the time, I thank (ir jd, In all tho G,000 years of tho world's oxistcnoo thero has not one thing merely ''happened bo." God is not an anarchist, but a King, a Father. When little Tad, the Hon of Frosi dent Kiuc >ln, died, all America sympa thized with tho Borrow in tho White Houho. Housed to ru-ih into tho room whoto the cabinet was in session and while tho most eminent men of the land were discussing tho questions of national existence. But tho child had 110 oaro about those questions. Now, God the Father aud God tho Son and God the lloly Ghost arc in perpetual session in regard to this world and kindred worlds. Shall you, his child, nidi in to criticise or arraign or condemn the divino government? No; tho cabinet of the Eternal Throo can govern and will govern in the wisest and bust way, and there never will bo a mistake and, like razor h k i 111 u 11 y swung, shall cut that which ought to he cut and avoid that which ought to ho avoided Iheci hioii to tno very hairbreadth. Farth | ly timopiooos may gjtoat of order ami | strike wrong, saying it is 1 o'clock i when it is 2, or 2 when it is 3. (Jed's I olook is always right, and when it is 1 i it strikos 1, and when it is 12 it strikes < 12, and the bcoond hand is as acourato j as tho minuto hand. I Farther, my text tells us that (lod 1 Boiuotiraos shaves nations, "In tlie I sacuo day shall tlie Lord t-havo with a 1 razjr that is hired." With ono sharp , sweep lie went aeross Judsea, and down j went its prido and its power. In IHtJl i (Jod shaved the Auierioan nation. We : had allowed to grow Sabbath do.voora- i tiou and oppression and blasphemy and , fraud and impurity and all sorts of turpitude. The south had its sins, aud the north its sins, aud the oast its sins, and tho west its sins. Wo had been warned again and again, and wo did not hoed. At length tho sword of war cut from the St. Lawrenoo to the gulf and from Atlantie seaboard to l'aoilio seaboard. The prido of tho land, uot tho cowards, hut tho heyoos, on both sides west down, And that which wc took for tho sword of war was tho Ljrd's razor. la 1802 again it wcntacross tho land; in 18U3 again; in 18(51 again. Then tho sharp instrument was iuuascd and put away. Never in tho history of the ages was any land more thoroughly shaved than during those four years of civil coin bat, and, my brethreu, if wo do not quit some of our individual and national Hint) 1,1m l.np.l un 11 oifuii. i.U ? ? ?..v ..xr. v. ?(? > inrvv; ti3 ill hand. ilo has othor razors within .reach besides war?epidemics, droughts, deluges, plagues?grasshopper and lo oust?or our ovcrtowering success may so far excito the jealousy of other lands that under some pretext tho great natioDS may oorabino to put us down. Our nation, so easily approached on north and south and from both oceans, might havo on hand at onco more hos lilitics than wero ever arrayod against any one power. I hop? no such com bination against us will ever bo formed, but 1 want to show that,-as Assyria was lite hired razor against Judas t, and Cyrus tho hired razor against Babylon, and the Huns the hired raz^r "against tho Goths, thero aro now many ru'/.)TA that tho Lord could hiro if, booauso of our national sins, ho should uudcrtako to shavo us. In 1870 Gormany was the razor with whioh tho Lord shaved Kranoo. Japan was tho razor with whioh ho shaved China and America tho razor with whioh he shavod arrogant, oppressive and Biblo haiingSpain. But nations aro to repent in a day. May a speedy and worldwide ooming to God I hinder on both sides tho soa ail nation/ . #*? t ' 7* IN \\ calamity.
