Hn eloquent discourse entitled
i "the s.cret cf his presence."
The Iter. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman Delivers
an Ii>?truc>i\o Mrssasc *?uc:?e*tr<l
by One ol the Most Ui-autiful Ksnrrsgions
in life Itible.
Ni:\V Yokk clty.?The ?1u? Y-ni-h i
eraqgelist the fiev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman
lias never delivered a more eloquent
and eouvinciavC nie.-.-a;re than i- r >:it 1:11. i
f * in the following merino:;, entitled. " I'll
Secret o; Hi- Presence." it was preached
from the text: "lie tint dwcilcth in t
secret place of the M?<t High siiaii abide
under the shadow of the Almighty."
Psalm xni.: 1.
To me tlii- is one of the most beautiful
expressions in all the liible; beautiful because
it is poetic, but more than that foi
the reason that it holds up before us one
of the greatest privileges that can come
to the children of God. "
There is a difference, of opinion as to
who the author of the Psalms may be.
We get into the way of thinking that
Da\id wrote everything in the P-abvr.
but Moses is the author here. The Talmud
ascribes not only this one to him but
the nine preceding as well. The rule is
that all the Psalms without a name in
the title are to be ascribed lo tlie poet
whose name is given in the nearest preceding
title, hit: this rule will not always hold
good. This is the P-ahn quoted by the
devil when be was tempting Christ upon
the mountain, and it has ever been throbbing
with comfort for every trou'dod
soul. Whoever wrote it. it is beautiful,
and all will agree that the lesson taught
is one touching our communion with God
r and our fellowship with Jesus Christ.
It is very true that all Christians do
jicl ot't'ui?> i ir* j*uiiic |;u>uiuii m mi"
tvorld. Ail are saved, and it is by tlie
same ' precious blood of C'hri.-t Hut
there is so much more to the Christian
life than ?ir.tply being saved: that i?
only the beginning. The bics-ings here
, offered are given in a very general way.
Co 1 is no r. specter of persons, and so it ias
it lie had said, any one tvhn will i'ti 1 ti31

? as there is ojilv the one condition, namely.
that we thai' dwell ) the "secret p-ace

when I have seemed to sec the face
of Him who loved me and gave Himself
for me. and I am sure that you van say
the same; but the text says that w? may
abide there in our thoughts while we in:v
be all the time in the very thickest of the
fight for God.
t like the vyse. Every word is sweeter
than honey in the honeycomb. It is so
restful to know that there is any place
in the world whepe we may abide. There
is also something very winning to me in
the fact that it is a secret place, for that
surely means tha; God has something that
m is iyjst intended for me, and for me alone.
^j^flw5en~I am there, I am awav from the
/ world. It is the place Mrs. "Brown disi
covered when she wrote the beautiful
m hymn.
^ "I love in solitude to shed
ft The penitential tear;
"3T"" And all His promises to plead
When none but God can hear."
There is something about the word
"shadow" that always interests, for there
never has been a shadow without the
light; thus the "secret place" must be a
. place of brightness. 'It is a place where
UodLisr for the nearest of all things to me
as viourney in the sunlight is mv shadow,
and ne who wall*? in my shadow or rests
in it must be w. >ar to me; so that
when I am in the shadow of G-?d. I can
reach forth i:ny hard and touch Him; 1
can lift up mine eyes and see Him face
to face. 1 know there is a sense in which
God is always near us. He is in all things,
and He is ev< rywhere. But there is somc it^liiia-"secret
of His presence"
every cue is a stranger until
elt there.
19th Psalm the psalmist seems
st part to be writing of the
f God in a general sort of way.
r has said. "He had been heate
g dden ore of thought through
paragraphs of marvelous power
and beauty, when suddenly in the tii'.ylirst
verse he seems to have become conscious
that He of whom lie bad been
speaking had drawn pear and was bending
over him. 'I he sense of the presence ot
God was borne in upon his inner consciousness,
and lifting up a face on which
reverence and ecstacy met and mingled,
he cried: 'Thou art near, 0 Lord! If
we could only attain unto this how strong,
bow happy, bow useful we should be. It is
, possible as well for those of us who are
in the very midst of perplexing cares as
for the priest, or the saint; for since the
Master bids us all to abide in Him, and
does not limit either His meaning or the
number of people who may obey, I am
absolutely certain that it rests with me
and with you to determine whether we
eftlll take advantage of our high privilege!

k . , I.
T^fctvpica^ reference must be to the
ho i SB ce of the tabernacle, which the
priS?were privileged to enter; but Peter
assures us that we have become in this
new dispensation "a holy priesthood,"
so that it is possible for us to enter on
that ground. If this interpretation is al
towed, tnen it is sometning, too wonderful
almost to describe, to which we
are bidden, for in the tabernacle just beyond
the veil was the glory cloud, and
all the magnificence that could be wrought
in gold and silver, purple and fine linen.
But I am persuaded that even that was
as nothing when compared to that which
awaits us when we enter the secretjiliwe**
of God. The writer to the Hehgwrs tells
ns just how we may entec^^Having.

1. fn the 'secret place" there i< peace.

o'" (lod. The orator is cons-ions of the
r.resenee of his audienre. and his heart
is touched by their appreciation while
h'~ mind is busy it) presenting the
tYanghts that move thefti. You may have
all your mind taken up with the book
von arc reading or studying, but your
heart is conscious of the presence of the
one you love and who sits by your side.
The mother may be very busy in one part
of the house: her mind may be greatly
engaged, but her heart is conscious of the
fart that her little babe is in another part
of th." house, and the least crv will draw*
her tr. the child. So the mind may be
occupied to the very fullest extent, and
even be disturbed by the things about us.
while the heart mav be abiding in sweet
eomniunion and fellowship with Him because
we are dwelling in the "secret
place."
Those were comforting words of the
Master's when He said. "Peace 1 leave
t*Ait \fv noaoo I fttro untn vroi nnf
as the world giveth. give i unto you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither
let them be afraid." So that I may have
peace even when trial comes. David found
this to be true, for in that beautiful
Psalm, the 27th. he says: "In the time
of trouble He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the secret of His tabernacle will He
hide me." The pavilion was a great taut
in the very centre of the camp, and when
he was there nothing could harm him:
he could be at peace even if he should
hear the sounds of his enemies. But the
expression is even stronger than that, for
David says that if it were necessary God
would even put him in the "secret of
His tabernacle;" that is the same as the
Holy of Holies; and who jvould not have
been safe there? Here is our "secret
nlaee" again, and this is just where God
has given us the privilege of going. Why
should we be disturbed if troubles are
about us and our enemies rise up to do
us harm?
2. In the "secret place" there is purity.
If our surroundings were only better in
this world, our lives would be purer. It
is very easy to be good in the company of
some neople we know; they seem to draw
out all the good in us. To bt surrounded
by certain kinds of scenerv is to be lifted
near Heaven; to touch a little child pure
as the angels of God is to receive a benediction.
What could not the presence of
God do for us if onlv we were all the
time conscious of it? 'fbis is just what 1
may have, did I but dwell in the "secret
place." One of the reasons which David
gives for desiring to dwell in the house of
the Lord was that "he might behold the
beautv of the Lord."
I wish that it might be possible for me
to make plain to you as I might understand
it myself all the beauty that
waits us in the "secret place." Think of
the gorgeousness of the Holy of Holies
in the ancient tabernacle, which is a
type of this! The wonderful curtains and
hangings of the place, its blue and purple,
its line twined linen and threads of
gold. Think of the beautiful veil with the
cherubim, with the embroidery so line
that angel fingers must have wrought
them, the table of pure gold holding the
broad, and the seven-branched candlestick?
Who from the outride looking upon
the badger-skin tent would have imagined
how glorious it was within? So I do not
think it would be possible to make plain
to you all that awaits you in the "secret
place." He who has dwelt there with (lod
could not tell his joy if he had an angel's
speech: but this 1 know, that if you will
Tut enter in and dwell there, the very
beauty of the place will make you pure,
and you remember that it is only unto
"the pure in heart"' thai the vision of
Cod is promised.
I suppose we might have been with
Jacob when in hi- dream he saw the
heavens opened and behold the angels
going up aud coming down and heard the
voice of < tod. ami we only should have
- 'l-v ........ litw fihnil!"
mt'i niir ujvv..;
I doubt not by that wc might liave
I.re.i viiii Haul wlien li" was caught up to
the third heave", and we should nave
seen nothing but the humble surroundings
of iiis tent. .And 1 doubt not but that
it l'aul were here to-d.iy lie would see
God here this morning, and he would
have walked 011 the street with lliin
yesterday. Is not the trouble with
ourselves instead of our surroundings or
our times? Every permitted sin encrusts
the windows of the soul and blinds our
visionj and every victory over evil clears
the vision of the soul, and we can sec
Him a little plainer.
The unholy man could not see Cod if
he were set down in the midst of Heaven;
but .men and women whose hearts are
pure see Him in the very commonest walks
of life. And there is not t place in the
world if it is right that we should have
been there, but after we have passed by
we may say, "Beljold, God wa$ in this,

founded on that idea. We must abide
first, and after thai we can not help
but bear fruit. Oh! thai we might be so

and charged with a spiritual force

Til.
T have left to the very last the most,
practical Question of all. and that is:
How may I enter into this "secret place':"
Cannot something be said that will make
tiie wav plain? It may all be summed up
i:i this answer. None can "know the
Father but the Son. and he to whom
ihr Son will reveal ITim." It is impossible
or anv one to enter into the "secret
place" of tiic Most High except through
.Ipmis Christ He said, "f am the way. 1
I am the door, ny .Me. if any man will, lie
shall enter in."
It is jitst what Pant meant when be said,
"Tint now in Christ -Jesus ye who sometimes
were afar off aie made nigh bv the
blood of Christ."

'I live, and vet not I. but Christ livgrh
in me." Again f have read in the Bible
the.-" words: "He that keepth Hi-- commamhnents

him." And 1 have found that 1 have
only to go the way T think Christ wants
me to go and to do the things I think
He wants me to do to be able to stand on
the very mountain top of Christian experience:
and that is only another way
of sneaking of the "seeret place." You
eould not go where Christ has bidden yon
without meeting Him, and you could
not meet Him without a blessing coining
wii n me 11icci ni^;.
After all this has brcn known, I have
heen told that thp vision still tarries.
Sometimes that is to try our faith; hut
lie will come if you wait, for He has
promised. If. however, after long waiting
still He should tarry, take up this old
Rook, turn its pages with a prayer that
God might open vonr eves so that you
might see Him. This is the garden where
He walks; press on. you will meet Him
face to face. This is the temple where
He dwells; stand knocking at the door,
even while you wait it may swing noiselessly
on its hinges, and He will lead you
Himself into the "secret place."
How ? Business Man Was Saved.
An incident is related which occurred
during Mr. Finnev's meetings in NewYork
City and which well illustrates the
value of a little tact in the great struggle
for souls. The big cutlery firm of Sheffield.
England, had a branch house in New
York. The manager was a partner of the
firm, and very worldly. One of his clerks,
who had been converted in the meetings,
invited his employer to attend. One evening
he was there, and sat just across the
aisle from Mr. Arthur Tappan. He aDneared
affected during the sermon, and Mr.
Tappan kept his eye on him. After the
dismissal. Mr. Tappan stepped ouicklv
across the aisle, introduced himself, and
invited him to stav to the after-service.
The gentleman tried to excuse himself and
get away, but Mr. Tappan caught hold of
the button on his coat and said. "Now. do
stay: I know you will enjoy it:" and he
was so kind and gentlemanly that the cutlery
man could not well refuse. He stayed,
and was converted. Afterwards he said,
"An ounce of weight upon my coat-button
saved my soul."
Two Pictures.
It is related that two painters each
painted a picture to illustrate his conception
of rest. The first chose for his scene
a still, lone lake among the far-off mountains.
The second threw on his canvas a
thundering waterfall, with a fragile birch
tree bending over the foam. At the fork
of the branch almost wet with the cataract's
6prav. a robin sat on its nest.
Hen.. Drummond, referring to the two
paintings, so unlike in their make-up,
said:
"The first was only 'stagnation;' the last
wgs 'rest.' Christ's life was outwardly
one of the most troubled lives that was
ever lived; tempest and tumult, tumult
and ttmnest, the waves breaking over it.
all the time, till the worn body was laid
in the grave.
"But the inner life was a sea of glass.
The great calm was always there. At any
moment you might have gone to Him
and found rest. And even when His enemies
were dogging Him in the streets of
Jerusalem.He turned to His disciples ad
offered the'm. as a last legacy. 'Mv peace.' "
Work, Onr Highest Privilege.
Whoever attempts to escape work
avoids his best friend. We read the story
of man's fall in the licrht of subsequent
revelation, only to find that work is not a
curse, but our highest privilege. The fact
that the seasons end urges us on to do
our best. An endless probation is simply
none at all. There is no more pathetic
lamentation in ail literature than this.
The summer is ended and we are not
saved. Probation -= over. The Judge enters
the field and count:! the sheaves. The
summer ever reproduces iUelf. They come
in their Annual succession, but each ho'ds
its own place. This summer will ho this
but once. Another will come, but it won't j
be this. Nothing is ever repeated. The
second rec mides the first, but is not to
be identified widi it. The sun never erects
the earth twice the seme. Probation is
written everywhere. ? Presbyterian Jour- |

Man's Influence:
The only responsibility that a man cannot
evade in this life is the one he thinks
of least?his personal influence. Man's j
conscious inlluence. when he is on dress
parade, when lie is posing to impress those '
around him?is wofullv small. But his un- '
conscious influence, the silent, subtle ra- [
diation of his personality, the effect of his
words and acts, the trifles he never con- j
sidcrs?is tremendous. Every moment of !
life he is changing to a degree the life of
the whole world. Every man has an atmosphere
which is affecting every other.
So silently and unconsciously is this influence
working that man may forget that I
