sermon the preacher shows that there

“I knew such a man (whether in the
body or out of the body I cannot tell;
God knowelh).”
A friend of mine was some time ago
reading that fascinating book of Fran
ces Hodgson Burnett entitled ‘•The
One I Knew Best of All,” and for u
long time be did not know that the
heroine of the book and the author
were one. He followed the little girl
step by step as she grew up until this
fact suddenly dawned upon him.
"Why,” he said, "Mrs. Burnett is
writing the history of her own life.”
The same fnet is true about the auto
biographies of Charles Dickens and
Thomas Hughes and Lord Byron and
1 homos De Qulncey. When you read
“David Copperfleld” you are reading,
with an added touch of romance, the
autobiography of Charles Dickens.
When you read “Tom Brown’s School
Days” you are reading Thomas
Hughes’ early life at Rugby. When
j von read "Childe Harold” you are
reading a malformed and distorted his-
' tor;, of the life of Lord Byron. When
1 you read the “Confessions of an Opium

text in the third person. There had
been many eritieisms made against the
great apostle because, though he had
never seen Jesus, he assumed authori
ty as a teacher of Christianity.
If you examine Paul's writings care
fully you will find that he uses the
personal pronoun “I” far more than
any other Inspired writer in either the
New Testament or the Old. His ene
mies claimed that he was a blatant,
conceited boaster. So In order to dis
arm any unjust criticisms he describee
one of the most Important experiences
of bis life, referring to It in the third
person. He said, “I knew a man in
Christ above fourteen years ago
(whether In the body I cannot tell or
whether out of the t body I cannot tell;
God knowetb); such an one caught up
to the third heaven.” Then Paul goes
on and tells how this man, this third
person, who was himself, had the most
marvelous manifestation of God’s pow
er and love. All the time the Corin
thians are reading this account me-
thinks we can hear them say; “Do you
suppose Paul Is alluding to himself?
Do you suppose Paul himself has been
in paradise:” Indeed I have often
thought that by putting this divine
manifestation in the third person Paul
made it even more powerful than if he
had directly spoken of It as having oc
curred to himself.
Now, it has always been u debatable
question among Bible students what
this glorious revelation which came to
Paul really was. It was evidently one
of the important moments If not the
supreme moment of Paul’s life. Why,
so overwhelming was It that Paul
could not tell whether he was in the
tiesh or out of the flesh when his spir
ituaJ exaltation occurred. He could
not tell whether his spirit was confined
in its tenement of clay or whether his
soul for a little while left his body and
took its Might into the unknown world,
as our souls will depart when the
breath stops and the pulse ceases to
beat and the physician pronounces us
dead. Though many commentators
may try to tell us what this Pauline
revelation was, I am not going to try
to explain it. I do not think Paul
wanted us to know what it was.
Tha Presence of God. S
Paul does not say what be saw or
heard in /his wonderful vision. As a
man admitted to an audience with a
king or emperor is expected to main
tain a decorous silence about the inter
view, so Paul says It was not lawful
to utter the words he heard In the
third heaven. We can understand that.
There are some of our own experi
ences about which we shrink from
speaking. They are too solemn, too sa
cred, for utterance. But what an effect
4hey have had on our lives! It would
be useless for an infidel to tell some of
us that there is no God; we know
there Is. There have been times when
he has come so close to us that we
have been conscious of bis presence;
we have felt him near to us. It Is
about these limes, more common than
we sometimes think, that I would
speak to you this morning.
Your first great moment of spiritual
ecstasy may have come to you as a
reaction from an almost miraculous
escape from death in early youth. I
do not know what that escape was.
Perhaps yon were skating upon the
lee on the river and suddenly yon
came too near an air hole and In you
went. You can feel the horror of that
cold plunge now. You felt the swift
current gripping you as though it was
a fiend whh a million hands and all
those hands were trying to drag you
under the lee. You remember well
holding out your arms to save your
self and the Ice breaking as you tried
to lift yourself upon Its smooth sur
face. Or [HM-haps the miraculous es
cape from death came when you as a
little boy were down by tbe old saw
mill fishing Your mother had forbid
den jou to go into a boat.
For some time you had been fishing
<£i the shore. But the waters out in
the middle of the pond did look so in
Tiling. The huge logs did look so big.
Then, with your bare feet, you began
to run across them. Then, when you
found just the right place to cast your
line, you dropped it. But after the
first nibble of a fish those big logs un
der your feet began to roll. Then the
other logs began to force them In.
Then those huge logs were closing over
your head when your little companion
lay down flat upon his stomach and ex
tended to you his fishing pole and pull
ed you out just in time. Or perhaps
your narrow escape from death came
in some awful runaway. You can sec
now the horses plunging and taking
the hits in their teeth. You can hear
the crash as the wagon is shattered
against a tree. Or perhaps, like George
Washington’s mother, during a thun
derstorm you had a friend struck
dead before your eyes by the lightning.
I do not know what that early escape
was, but this I do know—there Is
hardly a man, woman or child who has
not in youth come so near death as to
almost feel the cold air of the tomb
fanning the* cheek. Why, you were so
near death that Just one step more
and you would have been over the
precipice or under the revolving wheel
of the ear. Now, what was the reac
tion of that sudden escape from death
in the early days of your youth?
The Reaction.
At first you began to tremble like an
aspen leaf. You did not do this while
you were still looking into the yawn
ing abyss of the grave. The grave
opened and shut so quickly that you
did not realize what was happening
until all lunger was past. Then the
cold sweat began to break out over
you; your nerves began to twitch; you
began to say: “O God, I never knew-
till now how near one could come to
death and yet escape it. For - what
hast thou saved me?” And all through
the succeeding days and nights the
Lord Jesus Christ seemed to be stand
ing by your side, saying: *T have sav
ed you that you might become my dis
ciple. God gave you a divine revela
tiou at that time, Just as Christ ap
peared unto Paul in the scene of my
text, when he was taken up Into the
third heaven and knew not whether he
w’as in the body or out of the body.
The next glorious revelation which
came to you may have been a few
years later, when, under the power of
a great gospel revival, you surrendered
your life to the Master, joined the
church and sat at the table of the holy
communion. How that scene comes
back now! There is the little white
church with its straight backed pews.
There is the choir loft In which your
sister used to sing. There is the old
prayer meeting room below, which was
used for the Sunday school before the
Sunday morning preaching. There
were the gravestones you used to play
among on week days and try to read
the epitaphs on Sunday, when the min
ister would persist in praying about
everything, from the creation down to
the president of the United States and
all others in authority.
The Influence of the Holy Spirit.
If some one should ask you how that
revival started you could not answer.
Suddenly, w ithout any apparent cause,
the power of the Holy Spirit began to
descend. It was visibly felt through
all the country. One Sunday the old
minister instead of giving out his text,
as usual. opem*d the service in words
something like these: “Brethren, I have
tried to write a sermon this week, hut
it has been an impossibility. Every
time I entered my study the still, small
voice of God kept saying; ‘Down on
your knees and pray. Pray for my
people. Pray, pray, pray!’ And, my
dear people. 1 dare not disobey the
voice of God. As 1 have been praying
so much for you this week, I thought
I would turn this morning’s service
Into a simple prayer meeting. Then
we will meet in the church during the
coming week each night, and we shall
pray for each other and for our dear
ones.” You rememl>er how your mouth
opened wide with astonishment. As
the different people arose one after the
other to pray, you got tired and com
menced to w riggle in your seat. But
somehow a strange feeling of unrest
came over you when your dear mother
arose to pray. You never beard her
pray in public liefore iu your life. Bui
when she commenced with a trembling
voice and said, “O I»rd, dear Master,
precious Saviour, come Into our midst
and take these little lambs into thy
arms,” you could not keep back the
tears. You knew she was praying for
you.
Then that ride home! Tbe old fami-
And then you went to your room. As
you closed the door you Just dropped
down by the Ixsl and began to sob and
cry. You kept saying: “O God! O
God! O God!” You could not got any

God. Have you trusted Christ and fol
lowed him as you promised to do when
a young man on your first night in the
great city? If you have not, then tell
God today why you have not and ask
further. But suddenly you felt an I again for a renewal of his divine man

First Night Away From Homs.
Have you ever seen your feelings
better portrayed than iu the great pic
ture Hovenden painted, called “The
Breaking of Home Tics?” I have a
fine copy of that picture hanging on
my dining room wall. Some people
declare the mother's face is the most
wonderful part of that picture. Others
draw your attention to the dog. oth

grandmother’s eyes. But the most sug
gestive part of that picture to me Is
the chin of the boy, who is about to
leave home. As I stand and look at
that chin I can almost see It quiver.
It seems to say: “What am I going to
do? Away from father and mother
and all the dear ones, where shall I
sfiend my evenings? Who will take
care of me when I am sick? Oh, I

standing by that new crib, you said,

It was a holy pledge made to God.
Have you kept that pledge? Can you

I think you have had one other reve

you and your family. Your widowed
mother, whom you reverenced as al
most more than mortal, whose gentle
words, like the message of an angel,
calmed yon In angry moments and con
soled you In trouble, was called away.
Why were you so rapt as you sat by
her casket that day of her funeral?
Were you caught up then Into another
scene? When I arose to speak by her
casket you did not see me. Yon did
not hear me. You looked too dis
traught for that, for while I was
speaking you could imagine that she
had risen from her casket. Then she
seemed to soar to the celestial gates.
Then from the far off distance you saw
your father and your sister come out
to greet her. You witnessed the rap
ture of their welcome. ' Then you
heard your mother say: “Yes, Harry
and Sarah have the farm. They are
carrying on the work of the old
church.” “But,” asked your father
and sister, “how about Johnny?”
“Oh,” your mother answered, with a
heavenly smile, “he has not been liv
ing as he ought, but he is all right
now! Just before I left my last bed
of sickness he said to me: ‘Mother, tell
father and Elizabeth that I will cease
to live my old life qf selfishness and
