Edgar Allan Po represented the

form of a raven over bla study door.

of "Nevermore." And ha .declared of

Colxndae. Ilka foe. tha victim of a
mismanaged life. In the "Ancient Mar
iner" furnish another Illustration
whleh la of ate to ua when consider
ing the past. He tells of a sailor who
sinned by shooting aa albatross: and
tna am spoiled all his life, so that for
Mm there waa neither progress, nor
outlook, nor alleviation, aor hope: but
an aver present horror and gloom.
Yat Instruction cacie to him from
sources religious: and at last the body
of the bird, wnlrb had been bung
around his neck as a penalty, was re
moved: and tha sun shone again, and
tna free winds played upon tha laugh
ing waves, and
"The albatrosa fell off Into the sea.
Twe Beliefs Are Held.
Now these two Illustrations may
stand as expository of man's philos
ophy regarding the past. Some there
are who tell us tha d,d done Is un
changed frevermore. and eerape from
It there is none: while others assure
us that tha srloora of bygone days may
be Illumine.! If not entirely lifted
while all Its sin may be forgiven.
Let ua discover bow Christ regarded
our sin-spoiled past. In the Old Testa
ment 1 read of many men who are men
tioned In tha New Teatament: and It
baa Interested me to notice that for tha
story of their Imperfections I am driv
en back, to tha Old Testament record,
for the New Testament though men
tioning their names la reticent regard
Ins; their fallurea and their sins. Thus
1 read of Noah that ha became drunken,
and a sham to his own sons I And
that recorded In the Old Teetament
when 1 enter the New Teatament It
mentions tua patriarch, but hta am la
not alluded to. 1 read of Moses wrong
behavior at Mertbah, but the story uf
Muses' mistake la In the Old Teata
ment for the New Teatament. though
mentioning htm often and variedly,
telling of his massive grandeur aa a
minister to Jesus on transfiguration
mountain and making mention of his
Tie me in the Hallelujah Chorus of the
rexlaemed. contains oo allusion to his
failure and defeat. I read of David
falling Into sins of animalism and of
cowardice, sins that burned and scarred
and cursed, but no mention of these
things darkens tha New Testament
record, although he la spoken of re
peatedly. Solomon's foolishness so
vividly condemned by the Old Testa
ment, la unmentloned by tha New;
though It rerrs to Solomon's wisdom.
The patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, appear In tbe Old Teatament
book aa men whose utterances were
iscklng In sincerity and truth: but the
New Testament declares those men to
be conspicuous In the kingdom of
beavrn. Jonah, wno In tha Old Testa
ment record shows to grievous disad
vantage as being disobedient and
petulant. Is In the New Testament a
type of our Lord In his death and res
urrection. "I have blotted out thy
transgressions ss a cloud." said tha
ttod of tha ancient prophets: I have
removed them: I have drowned them
In the depth of the sea: I have cast
them behind my back: I have so oblit
erated them that, being sought, they
cannot be found." Aa I thus listen at
the beautiful gate of tha Temple of
Truth, the dull knell of "Nevermore"
reases to toll, and tha dead "Albatross"
of any sin sinks In tha sea of Ood'a
forgetfulness.
Very many battles have been lost by
us In the past, yet final and eternal
defeat has not coma to ua: many
wounds have we received, but the foe
man has failed to touch the aecret of
our Ufa. and for us still there Is balm In
tlilesd. and hope In tha great physician
whose name we know. Doubtless many
griefs have rained upon our Uvea,
many falls have bumbled us, many
failures made us careful, but to aub
irerge present happiness. Joy and use
fulnesa In tha dead aea of an evil but
forgiven past may ring true to the
philosophy of mortals: but It la alien
to the teaching of Jesus Christ.
For very much of tha wrong of our
rast Is remediable. As a tree covers
tip the cut In its trunk that laid bare
the sap paasages: as a ship gored by
the derelict, closes broken bulkhead
and safely makes tha harbor: aa a re
veating army suddenly turns upon tha
foe. and out of defeat aerures a glor
ious victory, so many of tha turned
down leaves In life's album may un
dergo such a marvelous transforma
tion by the grace of God aa ahall sot
inly obliterate the distressing records,
but actually afford place Ur Imprints
that shall cheer and Inspire and bless.
Serviceable, therefore, should the
past become. But to allow It to freese
ardor and chill the heart and repress
effort Is not to make It serviceable,
but rather to elevate It Into a stern
and rrpcllent tyrant who will make
rf the soul a slave. Kemember the
rocks struck, to avoid them: to warn
others of their presence; to be msde
sympathetic and helpful toward those
whom they menace and wound. Ke
member the flares where danger
lurked, and well-nigh overcame; mark
them so that other travelers may avoid
them. But do not let these things ex
ercise a paralysing effect upon the
spirit. The plowing was deep, the har
rowing severe, and tha passing of
psin's great roller a distress and grief:
but shape them all Into a harvest of
blessing and usefulness: of gain for
man and of glory for God. For after
ail but for tha storm wa should never
hare seen the rainbow; but tor tbe
night the glory of the starry sky would
have remained undiscovered, and the
higher the floods rose, the nearer to
heaven floated the ark. and even wear
iness accentuated the Joy of rest.
Hast Held Forth.
And w should remember that mel
ody Is the product of blended dis
cordant aounda. and some literatures
read from right to left, and from the
bottom of the page to the top. Tbe
anguish of the singer makes the sweet
ness of the strain, and no music can
erer come from an unstruck harp
string. Theref ore, to all In yesterday
that would represe anJ discourage and
cripple and unfit for present serv
ice, turn deaf eara and blind eyes,
end dare t remember that even
thy sins te say nothing of er
rors of Judgment and weaknesses of
the will sre all forgiven thee aa thou
standrst by thy 8avior'e croea.
racing the aea of the future we sail
under sealed ordera And It la better
fr us that we ahould. For knoe ledge
of coming things full-freighted witn
eur fata, would often distract and
weaken and ruin life. "What I do thou
knowest not now." Is as kind In Its
deprivation as Is "Thou shalt know
hereafter." gracious In Its Illumination
and cheer. And looking Into the mists
or In the clear weather letting tha eye
rest on the borison rim. tl-.e rightly
trained heart will say:
O blissful lack of wisdom;
Tls berter not to snow
For He hairfs me with His own right hand
And will sot 1st me go.
Tet do we know somewhat of tha
life that lies before ua For In many
ways It will largely duplicate tha past.
Not the past that has been forgiven,
for many of those alna will never again
mark us: not the past which by the
grace of God we have outgrown; nor
the past that la as foundation upon
which we are now building the surer
structure: but we are all awara that
largely yesterday was prophetic of to
day, as today Is prophetic of tomor
row. It will ba tha same sea of life. There,
for shall wa need to consult the same
chart; to heed tha commands, of tha
same captain; and ba ever prepared to
fare the atrenuous duties that are In
cident to the storm, and the equally
dangerous testings of th calm and
sunny weather.
Experlrac Give Courage,
It will be the aama battleground. W
may be better fitted for the fight, as
doubtless wa are. For wa wear tha
armor of God with a confidence be
gotten of past triumphs, and wa bava
our experience In fighting as a great
factor In withstanding tha toe.
It will ba the same pilgrimage.
Maraha will be met In the future aa
In the past; while Kllm'e shade win be
grateful tomorrow aa it was yester
day. Hut tha desert sand we must
tread, aa did our fathers; and the des
ert foes will still be In evidence; and
thnuah the Egyptians may ba drownea
and gone out of our lives forever, the
hordes of the wilderness Vill yet be
In nalnful evidence.
Perhaps there will coma little that Is
new to aome of ua Tha same familiar
routine of dutlea; the aama monotony
of unloved tasks; the same repression
of enthusiasm; the same untoward en
vironment: tha same burdens of pov
erty, and weakneas. and pain. Tea. and
the aame old Tempter. Doubtless some
of the temptatlona are left behind, and
are outgrown, but many of the old be
settments are still dogging our heels.
But. thank Ood. we ahall have the same
blessed companionships; fight under tha
same flag, and have the same leader.
Therefore we will rise up and un
fearlngly aay of tha morrow:
Tt eaa bring with It nothing:
But He will bear us through.
For God remains. And atlll wa ara
led bv the Omniscient One to whom the
darkness and the night are both alike;
and we are upheld by the arm In which
Omnipotence slumbers; while Ood tha
allsuf flcing. Is our portion, our defence
and our stay. "As I was," he says, "so
I will ba." As I waa with Noan.
Abraham. Elijah. Moses. Isaiah and
I'anlel; as I waa with the Baptist,
reter. Paul. James and John; aa I was
m-tth Polycarp, Athanaslus and tna
martvrs: aa I waa with Luther. Calvin
and the reformers; as I waa with tha
old mother and the white-haired fath
er ao I will be with you. Therefore,
will we not tear, though the hurricane
rava and tha angry waves yawn with
tha white foam of their madness fly
ing from their lips: for are not head
winds right for royal aallsT And well
roars the storm to him who hears a
louder voles above the storm.
Christ la with ua Ix the valley aa
on the hilltop; In tha storm as In the
calm; In th i darkness as In the light;
In grief as In Joy; at death aa at birth.
One wha has knewa la storms to sail
I have on board;
Above the roaring of the gale.
1 hoar the Lord.
The spirit of Ood Is with us. To
warn and instruct, and comfort and
sanctify; dwelling within us. so that
whoever assails ua antagonises him
and la therefore hurried to destruc
tion. And tha Bible la our possession. With
Its green pastures and still waters;
with Its warnings and wonderful
promises; Its precepts and Its appeals.
Ml have tha Bible, the pole star
among tha wlll-'o-tho-wlspa of earth,
the god of books, the word of God.
Prayer, too. Is ours. We remember
how In the past when the tempest
lowered, when the battle raged, when
heart and flesh cried out for tha living
God. wo betook ourselves to prayer:
and how In answer thereto we walked
on tha wave undismayed and stood un
afraid In tha furnace of flame, and
tabernacled safely with lions and
peacefully slept within the prison
walla
tio breast tha wave. Christian, wbsn
It Is strongest, for soon thou shalt ba
where no storms come, but where the
green swell Is In tha haven dumb and
forever out of tha swing of the sea.
Watch for tha day. Christian, when
