The text Is Daniel xil, 8, “As the stars forever and ever.” Some people are spiritually farsight ed. They cannot see God’s blessings near at band. They will sing with great gusto, ”1 want to be an angel and with the angels stand,” but they never thank God for the present opportuni ties of Christian work and for the blessings of earthly Christian fellow ship here and now. They are never capable of having their heartstrings bind them to a mundane tabernacle as the heart of John Fawcett, author of the noble hymn, “Rlest be the tie that binds," and that of his dear wife, were bound to the little parsonage of Wains- gate, in Yorkshire, England. After young Fawcett had been a rural pastor In this bumble village a few years he was called to a great metropolitan church as the successor of the famous Rev. Dr. GUI of London. It was a pul pit of which any man might have been proud. The resignation was read, the farewell sermon preached, the wagons were loaded with the furniture to take the young pastor to bin new field of labor. While the goodby words were being said, Mrs. Fawcett, her husband and the villagers fill bro^e down and wept. Then Mrs. Fawcett said: “Oh, John, I cannot bear tins! I know not how to go!” “Nor 1 either,” said her husband, "and we will not go. The wagons shall be unloaded, and every thing put in its old place.” So the wagons were unloaded. A letter was sent to London explaining the condi tions, and John Fawcett, who might have become Dr. Gill's successor In a great metropolitan pulpit, remained in his humble rural church because of his affection for his people. Ah, ye whose hearts beat and throb to the key note of love, can you blame him? Then he went into his study and wrote his immortal hymn, which has done more good than all the sermons he has ever preached. Like John Fawcett are most of us. We thank God for the tender ties that bind our loviug hearts to earthly frieuds and for the ties that bind our hearts to the opportunities of gospel work this side of the grave. Uloriew Ueyuntl the U^ave, But though we love earthly life and all the dear ones who are now by our side; though we love our Christian work in the home, the church, the store aud the study, yet wo would not forget those who Lave gone beyond. We would not forget the celestial rewards that are to be ours wheu our earthly work for Christ is done. Therefore the pur pose of this sermou is to tell you what glories await you on the other side of the grave if you have been a winner of souls foi Christ during your earthly pilgrimage. Aud 1 am going to tell you this by one of the most beautiful sym bols of the Bible; It Is the symbol of the stars, in stellar letters of gold, writ ten upon the broad black pag 's of the night. It is in the mighty review of other worlds when the glitteri-ng hosts wheel into line, ami stars, constellations and systems, with their signals of light, singing as they sang on the morning of the creation, move before the great God who created them and who rules them. Today we have a beautiful subject, one which transports us to that glori ous firmament to whose brightness Daniel appealed wheu he said, "They that be wise shall shine as the bright ness of the firmament, uud they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.” The stars, the stars, the glorious stars, which we shall be like when the archangel puts the last trumpet to his lips and blows the rever berating blast of the resurrection. Canst thou not today catch an inspired vision of the heavenly firmament as did the dying college student, Henry Klrke White, when he looked up and saw the harbinger of bis future in the flaming glory of the stars? Now, the first fact to which I want to call your attention is to the num ber of the stars. I would lead you out upon the hillsides of the night, as God led Abraham of old, aud say unto you, “Look now toward heaven and tell the stars if thou be able to count them.” Can you count? Are you good at fig ures? “Yes.” you answer, with a laugh, “I am good at figures. I was the best mathematician of my college class. But I have not, nor has any other man, mental force enough or time enough to count the stars. You might as well ask me to count the sands of the Sahara desert or the drops of water contained In the mighty deep as to count the number of the stirs. I have neither the time nor the ability to do this.” Then while you are speaking of the infinite number of the stars you recall a wonderful ex perience you had some years ago. Coaatlns the Stare. You were out camping. You bad bean living some weeks In the open. That day you had a long, hard pull over the mountain*. You were almost fagged out when you made camp. But after the lire wae built, the ooffee pre pared and the supper eaten tfcwe came over yon a sense of contentment that no man ever experiences unless he is living out in the woods. This peace did not come from your companions, though there never were finer men to “rough It” with than those who were your associates at that time. But somehow you did not care to talk that night. So yon made up your bed of green boughs and covered them with the soft leaves. Then you spread your blankets and lay down. You did not lie down to sleep. You lay down to rest and commune with God. Before you the sun, which had long since set, was throwing its light up ' over the iwestern hills and dyeing the evening clouds In pigments of gold and in some places making them look like great burning caldrons and lakes of fire. Then it began to grow darker and darker. You heard uu owl boot and a hyena call. Then the stars be gan to come out one by one. At first you tried to count them. You said, “One, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, fifty.” Thou the heavens were lighted up with myriads of lights, and your eyes became confused. You began to think of the numbers of the stars on the other side of the world. “Here,” you said, "we have the Dip per. There is the Southern Cross we never see.” Then you thought of the cyclopeau eye of the telescope looking farther and farther into space, and ev erywhere it looked there were stars upon stars, thousands of them, myriads of them. Then you looked up and cried out, “O God, how many stars are there?” Anil the answer seemed to come to you: “There are as many stars as the leaves of the trees in the forests about tbee. They are greater than any man can number.” “Oh,” you say, “it is Impossible for any man to count the stars.” Yes, my friend, you are right; it is impossible. But here an overwhelming thought comes rolling over me like a tidal wave. They who have turned many to righteousness are a great multitude. Not only in our day, but in past years aud past centuries, men have been win ning souls for Christ, aud we, If we have been laboring for him, will live and shine among that innumerable throng. We are not going to be like a great flashlight shining in the heav ens above, but our stars shall shine with other stars. All the prophets and the apostles will he there. All the evangelists and the sweet singers of Israel will be there. All the mighty leaders for God in the past ages will be there. No earthly “hall of fame” would ever be large enough to hold that vast assemblage of gospel heroes and heroines. Cannot you feel the spiritual electric thrill of such an as semblage as that? You know that an audience or a great collection of people has its peculiar en tity as well as a single human being. A dear friend of mine some years ago was attending In London a great Inter national gathering of the representa tives of the Salvation Army. For hours he stood in the gallery watching the convention progress. “As meeting fol lowed meeting,” said be, "a strange spirit of consecration seemed to take possession of that vast assemblage. You could almost see this spirit as well as feel It. You were swept along by the holy enthusiasm of the delegates, whether you were a Salvation Army man or not. So powerful became this spirit that u man standing near me who was not a Christian said: ‘There must he something in Christianity. There must be something supernatural about It. These people are In dead earnest. ! cannot get away from it.’ ” Thus in heaven, when we get there, we shall all feel the spiritual electric thrill of being in close touch with hun dreds upon hundreds and mil'*ons upon millions of soui winners. When all these vast multitudes of soul wiuuers shall lift up their voices In praise they will lift us up. Oh. my friends, do you not rejoice that In heaven you will spend an eternity wMb those who have glorified God on earth? There you shall be in touch with them in numbers, as the stars which shine forever and ever. An Ideal Heaven. But though I like todar to think of the multitudes of soul ^iuners who shall he enrolled among the lidiahitnnts of heaven, I cmnot think of an ideal heaven simply as a great mass of Im mortal souls, jostling each other on the boulevards of the New Jerusalem. I would not care for a heaven wherein every man and woman and child Is to lose his individuality aud cease to have affinities with other immortal souls. Oh, no, l would not want a heaven like that. I believe that In heaven w r e shall meet .multitudes of immortals who have been soul winners on earth, but I also believe that those soul winners shall keep their individualities and that the same loves of earth which made husband cling to wife and wife to hus band and parents to children and chil dren to parents aud friends to friends will all be there. By the stellar glory of the night I think we may infer It. For "they that be w'ise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.” The more we learn of the stars and their movements the more clearly does this appear. The unscientific man can see nothing but chaos and confusion in the stars of the heavens. As he looks up into the firmament he says: “My, how many stars there are! They seem to be everywhere. There seem to be stars tumbling and stars jostling and stars pushing. Hen Is a falling star, and yonder that masa of white is a col lection of stars so close together that they seem to be a perfect mob of atari running riot.” But as he goes on thus an astronomer by bis side says: “Nay, friend, you are wrong. The stars may seem to you to be running riot, but that la not so. The British army upon tbs march toward Waterloo, with th* Duke of Wellington for its commander, never wa# more orderly or bad sterner dlsc’MIne than the s^xrs under divine ru! ditp. En it star Ins its appointed ph: , inch mi es In its own circle, and o sterna tic ;.’e tJieF' movements that n ; .uomci-s i n calculate down to the very minute when n star will pasi a given place or disappear.” Thus we find that the firmament of the heavens is a great cosmos. It Is a collection of stars gathered Into groups, each .star having its own place In a separate group with other stars. This was conclusively proved by William Herschel, the great English astronomer. Herschel for years studied the laws which bound star to star. In his day no man knew more about them than he did. "lu nearly every branch of modern physical astronomy he was i pioneer,” wrote his biographer; “he was the virtual founder of sidereal sci ence. As an explorer of the heavens he had but one rival, his own sou.” After years of study. William Herschel evolv ed this beautiful theory of the heavens, which, 1 believe, is the symbol of our future celestial existence. The ancient Chaldeans Jirst gathered the stars into groups or constellations. They had the Dipper and Orion and the Bear and the Bull, the Ram, the Twins, the Water- pot, the Scales, the Fish, the Sea Goat and others too numerous to meution. But it remained for the modern astron omer to show how these various groups were related. Herschel mapped the motion of these groups around their in dividual centers; then he went higher and higher In his astronomical theory, and he showed how these centers mov ed around other centers and these other centers In turn swing around other cen ters; then at last he swings all these groups and constellations and solar systems and all these centers around one great center, which he calls t ie "great white throne of God.” Cannot uU gra^,p t:.e parable? They 81mlI Shine as Stara. In heaven all the soul winners of earth shall shine as the stars forever and ever. But these stars shall not be 1 simply a great multitude of stars shin- hug as a mass of light. Each star will ' be the member of a certain group, j What is the group? Why. the family. ; We shall shine like Moses and Joshua and Paul and Peter. Yes, but we shall ' shiue alongside of our fathers aud mothers and brothers and sisters and 1 wives and husbands and children. In groups—in family groups—we shall be. | O God, I thank thee that in heaven ; my loved ones shall be by my side as they have lived by my side on earth! All the soul winners shall be there, but i my dear ones shall live as close to u:e ' an though our mansion In heaven were the only mansion built upon the Boule- I vard of Gold dowu near to the Beaut 1- i ful Gate. But there is another fact about these ! stars to which 1 would call your at- ] tent ion today. If we turn many to "ighteousness we shall shine. What does that mean? Shall we be as min- I ■•rs Avith our little flickering lamps go- I 'ng into the dark places of the earth j f o hunt out gold for our own selfish ; purposes? Shall wo become misers : who are ready to shut themselves up | into solitary rooms, so that with a lit- ! lie flickering candlelight they can open i their iron vaults and in safety exam- ; ine their jewels and piles of silver and 1 of gold? Nay. If we turn many to i righteousness we can never shut our selves up in heaven. W T e must shiue ! as the stars. We must shine not so 1 than the difference between two stars. They differ from each other In color. Some are yellow or purple, or pale green or emerald green, or white or blue, or orange or sapphire, or crim son. Some stars give forth a steady light; others are variable. Citl and Mira and Algol and Agnus are chang ing their volume of light incessantly. Some are stars of the first magnitude, others of the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, or even the ninth magni tude. Argelander, the great astronomer, catalogued the stars in reference to the different sizes, as a Jeweler might clas sify his gems by the color, the size aud the purity of the precious stones, all of which Implies that in heaven, when we shiue as the stars forever and ever, we shall all keep our own Individualities and have our distinctive characteris tics of light. Yes. heaven Is to be a place of infinite variety of immortal life out Though $ou and I, cvhen we reach heaven, Avill be different in many ways, there is one way which we shall all ho similar when we shine as the stars forever and ever. We shall all shine with a supernatural light. How do 1 know this? Why, also by the symbol of the stars. Lot me ex plain. Noav a star is not a planet like the earth. It is a self luminous body, like the sun. It is a great furnace in the heavens, which goes on, year after year and century after century and millennium after millennium, giving ! forth its heat and light, as our OAvn I sun for millions of years has been heat ing and lighting our planet. Now j comes the practical question. What fuel feeds those seemingly inexhausti ble furnaces? It is absurd to suppose that here aud there a stray meteor 1 drawn into those awful masses of heat could keep up the supply and combus tion century after century and millen nium after millennium. Sir William Thomson, the celebrated mathematician and physicist, says that the sun will bum at least five or six milliou years longer. When one estimates the fact ; that 'the sun's volume or bulk is at least 1,300.000 times larger thau the earth he begins partly to realize the enormous heat which this star’s light Is , giving forth. What causes all this light of the star? "Oh.” you answer, “I can not explain it upon any rational grounds. Let us say it comes from God.” Thus say we in reference to that spiritual light which shall make us | shine as the stars forever and ever. Friend, no earthly light will make you thus shine forever and ever. Have you the spiritunrlight ? Have you that light which conies only from touching the living coals of the spirit’s fire? If you ha\'e not that spiritual light within you, will you let God put it there now? Their Influence Lmiting. But there is still another fact to which I want to call your attention to j these spiritual stars. Though they may , shine forever and ever in heaven, their j spiritual light will not be lost to earth as long us this world lasts. My text reads thus: "They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firma ment. and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.” Do you not see it? As the ira- 1 mortal soul winner leaves this planet he will not only shine In the other world, but also In this world. “No,” says some one, “I do not see It.". I will explain it in the words of a great as tronomer. Listen: “Some stars are so niiu-h for the Ifnedt of ouroclvoo »» di ’“ 1 an , 1 !' m ""f l, ! ams “7 oc ' for .ho benefit of others. Heaven is » <* /<*"> jof.rn^ 10 bo a place of eternal enjoyment he- I •»*»•. *' came It is a place where we shall a”' 1 ' ' , , , 0 °" epeml the millenniums in helplnit lo “T .T for tllou8un,i “ »' make olhers happy. Oh. blessed, thrice ! 5 " ! “” ,0 Mn,e - 1,0 ,l,l ' re are S 1 '™' “ cn thought! Is it your blessed Is this hope? Wheu Cyrus W. Field was about to lay the first successful Atlantic cable be had two vessels, the Agamemnon and the Niagara. Each loaded with die precious cable, they met In mid- ocean. Then the two vessels parted, and one sailed toward VnleutJa and the other toward Trinity bay. Farther and farther apart they went, each paying out its end of the cable, lint during all that king journey lowr the old world and the new these two vessels could keep sending messages to each other. So on the great sea of space the stars seem to be floating ships. Aye, more <lmu that-they seem to be creatures of life. And these stellar creatures of life seem to be always signaling, always talking to each other. They seem to me to keep saying. “Oh. child of Christ, when thou dost shine as the stars forever and ever thou shalt be shining for other worlds and not for thyself.” Is It not a beautiful thought to you that all through eter nity you shall be shining to make your dear ones happy? Heaven can never be to your loved ones a perfect heaven unless you are there to shine for their glory and eternal Joy. Even the Stars Differ. But how are these celestial stars go ing to shine? Shall they all look alike and have just the same color and the same characteristics? Are they to he similar to each other, like the pictures we used to study of the angels, who were always dressed In white robes and had two wings, with Just so many feathers, so that each angel looked like every other angel? No. When y speak thus 1 know you have not o served the stars. You have not noticed bow they differ in brightness aud size and color. The Bible distinctly tells us that “one star dlffereth from another star In glory.” Heaven Is not to be a place of monotonous similarities, but of varied and ever fresh contrasts. As in the material firmament one star dif fers from another star so there will be differences in the spiritual stars. Each of these stars will emit a radiance pe culiar to Itself. The difference between children born In the same family, the difference be tween any two birds, or any two flow ers of the same species, or any two mountain ranges, Is not more marked IlkL' otV whose existence has long since termi nated. but the Influence of whose spirit still Irradiates our world. Milton. Shakespeare and the great poets and historians and philosophers, though gone from our sphere, still shine upon it as stars of the first magnitude. If our light for good or evil Is to shine and continue to shine after we have gone Into the eternities, hoAv can we neglect to make that light the spiritual light It ought to be? To show the length of time the light of some of the stars would continue to shine upon the earth after the star It self was dead 1 would quote from an address which L>r. Gill, the astronomer, delivered belore the Royal Institute of ! London a few years ago. Among oth er things he said: "So far as all existing researches go. Centaur! is the uearest ! of the fixed stars. To get some Idea of i Its distance we will Imagine a railroad reaching from the earth to that lumi nary. Traveling at the rate of sixty miles per hour it would take 48,003.000 years for the train to reach this nearest star." The brain staggers under such a computation, but it is one still more profound that the prophet makes wheu he tells us that the winner of souls shall shine forever and ever. Our lights for good or evil will shine longer (ban even the farthermost star of space whose light now touches this earth. They will shine on and on as the win ners of souls, or their evil results will continue to be felt as the destroyers of souls who will never reach heaven, be cause we have been false beacons to those lost ones. Would you not be a spiritual star, winning souls for Christ? Sir David ylrewster gives an account of a lost * ’ star. In the astronomical system to which our earth and sun belong there is a certain comet which has gone as tray. The astronomers can find no trace of this vagrant comet. By their mathematical calculations this comet has appeared at least thirteen times since It was lost In 1770. But amid the spiritual stars which come to God !■ Christ’s name there shall be no lost stars. All shall shine forever and ever. Friend, would you not be one? Would you not turn many to righteousness and have their effulgence shine by yonr side through all the eternities. A star! A •tar! Thou canst be a living, eternal, spiritual star, shining forever tor God.
