Corner Washington and First
To All Humble Workers: Wait
dT T Written for The Oregonian by
JLiOpC? 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! It was dawning- ot yesterday
And soft in the cool of the sheets I lay;
And I'd clean forgot how I once went tree.
When a little bird came and sanjc to Hie.
Short was the sonjc and of scanty art.
But It brought the red blood back to mv
heart:
And t was never a hymn nor a true-love ode
But the Song the Son? ot the Dusty Road.
I've; bartered my sheets for a starlit bed;
I've, traded ray meat for a cruet of bread;
I've changed my book for a sapite? cane,
XaA I'm o t the sad 9t the world agaia.
