Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis Text: "It Is good for a man to hope and quietly wait for the salvation of God." AJUONG the stimulants to successful work wi must make a large place for hope. Man is so constituted that in the hour of battle he is supported by the foresight of victors. The farmer ploughs and sows In the expectancy of a harvest. The mariner sets sail for a world voyage In the anticipation of a large cargo and a homecomlngl Fear of failure takes the nerve out of the arm and the strength out of the heart. Con trariwise, the hope of success arms a man against every enemy. Therefore, this pledge of God, that all .good work jour neys, toward a reward and certain suc cess. "Whoever goeth forth, bearing his seed, shall come again ' bringing- his sheaves with him, . for nothing good is lost. The message of truth and justice Is a successful message. But, bo it re membered, he who works must also wait. God and his world will not be hurried. Haste makes waste, and "waste is the forerunner or ruin. If the work Is low work, the worker must wait only a little time. If the work is of a high order, long time Is necessary. You wait four weeks for a head of lettuce, four months for a strawberry, four years for a peach, four hundred yeare for an oak, four thousand years for a man In the image of God. AH men. therefore, who seek to sow the land with wisdom, all parents who are trying to rear noble sons and worthy daughters, all generous natures whose hearts are knitted In with the for tunes of their kind, must needs remember that it is good for a man "to work and hope and quietly wait for the salvation of God." For your life Is not in toduy, or its deeds, any more than a sheaf is in the seed. The grain of corn Is as large as your finger nail, but the million sun beams above converge towards that grain, and a million threads in the soil converge towards that grain of corn from below. And when all that Is in the sky above has passed through the grain of corn, and all that Is in the earth beneath has been braided in also, then you have the shock. But the farmer who planted the seed waited for the shock and postponed his shouting. Victory, is therefore In the future. The seeds were gathered yester day, today holds the furrow, but the har vest Is In tomorrow. For the child, to morrow holds strength, wisdom, honors and a troop of friends. For the patriot, tomorrow holds the onset against every form of vice, and the victory also. For the soldier; tomorrow hoId3 a battlefield, all stained with blood, and holds the overthrow of an enemy. For dying states man and sleeping- mother, tomorrow holds the immortal- hope. The cure of today's victory is the courage of tomorrow. Small men are saved by sight, 'great ones by hope. For all men It is good to work and hope and patiently wait for the salvation of God. Christ's Seed nnd the Far-Off Har vest. Far above all other men did Chrfst work and wait and patiently hope. In the long ago. standing by the seashore, he told the people that a house divided against itself could not stand. It was a great word and pregnant with wisdom. That sen tence held the cure of war, the safeguard against civil dissension. But the seed ap parently fell on poor ground. No man re garded the warning that "a house divid- j cd against itself cannot stand." On the mountain side the Swiss guide will not speak above a whisper, lest the vibration of his voice start the avalanche that grinds a village to powder. And now the centuries are bridges. ."We see the Christ standing beside the Sea of Gulilee and now his words go forth. "A house divided against Itself cannot stand." Down the long aisle of time the words sound, the whisper deepens Into muffled thun der, the thunder swells Into the cannon's roar. Then when the sound of battle dies away, the house stands, but It has only one occupant her name Is Liberty. God's dear child. For Christ has come Into his own. and the door of the prison house is opened; he has come to set at liberty the captive, and when IS centuries have nassod his Golden Rule shotted the guns that overthrew the citadel of oppression. Oth ers or Christ's words have not yet come to a harvest, though centuries still do come and go. And what is the lesson of his life but this: "It is good for a man to work and hope, and patiently wait for the salvation of God." "Waiting: a Necessity or Nature .and Iiire. Consider the philosophy of waiting. It is said that we are workers together with God. If a three-sco re-year-old man tries to keep step with an eternal God he must wait. Our days are a handful, and with him a thousand years are as one day. Our scale of 'measurement in build ing a house Is one-eighth of an inch, his the diameter or a universe. Man's stride Is half his length; what shall be said of him whose stately stcpplngs are from star to star? "We weave textures out of cotton and silk. But the cloth of God. civiliza tion. Is spun out or racial temperaments, arts, laws, the tides or the sea. the move ments of suns. For back or all the age?, and back or all the movements or so ciety, stands one great shaping and con trolling mind, or a world-architect and a world-artist, a world-thinker and su pervisor, who directs- all men and all events toward a far-off goal.. In that stream of purpose you and I may be but a? drops In a river. Nevertheless we have our place, and each drop Is con trolled by law, a law of gravity as stern as that force that hold? the star in its place The thought of God's loving provi dence lends tranquillity, and the convic tion that we are working together with God lends dignity, and calls out all of our reserves. Of course, sometime?, the work ing and the waiting may not be clear to our reason. God asks men who are work ers together with him to fulfill their ap pointed tasks. Down in Washington i3 the Congressional Library. Tested by adaptation to its end, it is a notable achievement in architecture. For dignity of line, for simplicity and also for beauty without and within, it Is all but unsur passed. Now the architect ot that library, in making- bis pi&ae, bad portioned tka work to many workers. To one artist he committed the decoration of one room. To a man skilled in woods he committed the carving In another room. One man fash ioned the columns and another the capi tals; but what If the architect had sent drawings of some of the statuary to Italy. There the Roman artist selects a -poor sculptor for certain carvings. To tills peasant workman he commits the draw ing. With instant enthusiasm the sculp tor undertakes his task. "With what care does he lift the hammer and the chisel! With what loving regard docs he arch the forehead and cut the lip and chisel the nostrils! From roughness, what beauty! And with toil comes love for hi? task. When the work is done he commits it, al most with tears, into the hands ot the contractor. And now the peasant sculp tor receives his scant hire and returns to his rude shop. In his Ignorance, ho doe? not know that there is such a city as Washington or such a building as the library. Then, when years have passed, he makes his way acros? the ocean. Here. blesseS with good fortune, he lingers ror a little time, and then makes his way to the Nation's Capital. One morning, standing In front of the Congressional Library, he lifts his eyes to a figure above the entrance. Dazed, the sculptor rubs his eyes and thinks himself dreaming. At last, with a flood of splendor, the truth bursts upon his mind. With the tears streaming down his cheeks, he ex claims: "That angel fape was carved by my hnnds! Once that was a bare rock, and my hands released the beauteous being imprisoned therein. I knew not for whom I was working, nor for what niche I carved. But. oh, thank God! I did my work under God's eye, for my master's sake, and, baptizing yonder face with tears and prayers, I did my best! And now, behold, my reward is greater than I can bear!" And this, my dream,, I? man"? history- What words have described, men are In life. The marble Is man's ap pointed work, the chisel Is the duty lie Is doing, the hammer that is lifted repre sents the blows of adversity and suffer ing. But man's work is not to stand in any little building of time, but in the great temple of eternity. For there are no humble tasks. God Is an architect, . and every stone in Ills temple is carved. Under his stroke every life is chiseled like a cameo in the fineness of its finish. You may not comprehend the critical im portance attaching to the work com mitted to your hands, but it is so im portant that if you dQ not perform It as in the sight of God, his whole purpose and enterprise will be marred and frus trated. No great man ever doe? under stand his work until a thousand years after it is done. Paul did not, Luther did not, Darwin never could have dreamed what he was doing. Columbus had not the slightest conception before he died what he had done. To all humble work ers comes this word, "You are building better than you know!" Therefore it is good for a man to work and hope and patiently wait for the salvation of God. Lends Power to Itisc Above Troubles. This associating one's work with God, our co-worker, lends strength to the will and power to the heart. What a secret of endurance Is in this thought, that to day's cloud will be tomorrow's light and victory! Indeed, the measure of man hood Is the measure of endurance, the power to work and hope, and then pa tiently wait. A weak nature looks for immediate results. A child plants a flow er seed today and tomorrow pulls it up to sec If It Is growing so do all weak men. What ;i word is this of Lord Bacon's, "1 leave my name and fame to foreign lands, and to my own country when long time has passed." How great was Kossuth, spending his private for tune for the cause of liberty; then tramp ing the world over to plead the cause of the oppressed; then living In the north of Italy In exile, and refusing all bribes to return home and accept tyranny! For 50 years he worked and waited. You say he died, never having seen the things he desired to see! Nevertheless, he patiently hoped and waited to see the salvation of God. What man so happy! What a pica was the silent protest of this old hero! What a tower of strength is the very thought of Louis Kossuth! What man so victorious and successful within, despite all his outer defeats! He had the consciousness that he had been a co worker with God. And, waiting for his reward, he all but smiled at death, and despised the delays, postponements and trials and troubles of life. Indeed, the consciousness that one , is the child o God, heir to all wealth In land and sea and sky: that your Heavenly Father could give you a flood of gold, that the caUle on a thousand hills are his, and therefore yours being joint heir with Christ to all these treasures; what care you for obscurity, poverty, or temporary need? This Is our Father's world. The gold and silver are his; his the coal 'and iron, and his the herds and flocks and harvests. Heir to all these treasures, we can live on crusts today if the clusters of God are ours tomorrow. A man can smile In a garret like Paul's, If he knows that In his Father's house are many mansions. What ir one Is ignored today, if there we are to be known, waited for and honored! All these troubles are but for a moment. The clouds will soon break. We will soon enter Into the banqueting house of God. Then one word of recognition from the master will repay you ten thousand times for all the troubles and slights and an noyances of the life that now Is. For it doth not yet appear what we shall be. Neither hath it entered Into the heart oC man to conceive the things that God has prepared for them that love him. It Is good.' therefore, for men to work and hope and patiently wait to see the salva tion of God. Wander Song. McClure's Magazine. Faith!
