pressed my gladness that he had given
up the iniquitous pursuit, and my dis-
appointment that instead of sehing it
he had not turned the liquor into the
sewers. I added that God’s displeasure
is on those who persecute it. He frankly
responded that it had given him a
great deal of trouble. Yes, God lives,
and though we may not see Him at
work, He troubles the wicked. They
may say: "Peace, peace, hut they
shall not know peace.”
There are those who claim that the
will of God can-not be done on the
earth. It is so high, eo exalted, so
holy, that human beings can not
measure up to it. Many claim they
can not mingle with them fellows and
engage In the active work of life. In
business, and compete with others and
at the same time do the will of God.
This gave rise to the monastic idea.
In order to have no other will than
God’s many have retired to cloisters or
monasteries;, and became monks and
hermits. Visit Rome today and you
will see numerous orders of monk/.
They live in places from which It Is
presumed the world is excluded.
And so there are not a few who tell
us that religion is one thing, but that
business is another. They are pious
and devout on Sunday, but on the other
six days of the week they are like the
rest of the world. Thus they live
double lives.
Little do we know of heaven, but
the spirit has given us some Idea of
that celestial country through the vis-
ion of John on Patmas. We read of
the four and twenty elders, "that they
cast dwn their crowns before the
thrne of God," saying: "Thou art
worthy. O God, to receive glory and
honor and power.”
God is-exalted. The angels and arch-
angels, with all the company of
heaven, magnify Ms glorious name and
ever more praise him, while they say,
"Holy holy, holy. Lord God of hosts.
Glory be to thee, Q Lord, most high”
Glory be to thee Q Lord, most high!

mercy would be undiscovered.
So far as we know man alone can
reject the will of God. He can take
arms against the infinite and battle
against the well defined and clearlv an-
nounced will of God. It is wonderfull
that it is so. Who can explain it?
Why should God have endowed any of
his creatures with such ability? We
can ask the question; we can not an-
swer it. Does he not show forth his
power and glory in creating such a
being as man? To pray "Thy will be
done on earth” is to ask that. God may
so address his creature man as to
incline and persuade him to submit in
all things to the will of God.
What is the will of God? "This
is the will of God, even your sanctifica-
tion.'’ The good and acceptable and
। perfect will of God is that we should
not live in the flesh, In the lusts of
'men, but that we should keep God’s
commandments. God’s will is that we
Should do Justly and love mercy, and
walk humbly with our God. To obey
the commandments is the will of God.
But this does not entirely represent
the will of God. It is the will of God
that the teachings of Christ which are
the largest and fullest commentary in
the \ Ten Commandments and on the
will of God should be carried’ out in
the lives of human beings.
It is his will that man should love
and honor him; and love his neighbor
as himself. The meaning of the

know of the doctrine. * Obedience to
the will of God is the key to the king-
dom. "I am the way,-the truth, the
life,” declared Christ. "If any man
come after me he shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of
life.”
Dr. J. W. Lowber’s theme in the
Central Christian church yesterday
was: “Jesus’ Warning and Inviting.”
He said:
In Matthew xl:20, 80, we have an
Interesting account of the warning of
Jesus in reference to the cities where
he had done many of his greatest
work, and his precious invitation to the
• penitent people. Jesus found those
who refused to repent. Whatever way
their duty presented, they made ob-
jection to it. We have such persons
at the present time. There was a god
in ancient Greece known as Momus,
the god of fault finding. . He found
fault with everything and everybody.
Even gods and goddesses could not
escape him. He was Anally expelled
from Olympus, and certainly deserved
his fate. He has, however, left a nu-
merous posterity. uch characters are
not yet all dead, even in our churches.
Jesus warned those cities wherein
his mighty works had been performed
Ion account of their impenitent condi-
tions. He rebuked them for their
(wrong doing and their failure to do
what they knew to be right. Henry
Ward Beecher truly says that in all the
reproofs of Jesus it is not angered
ambition, but repulsed kindness that
speaks. There is sadness in the se-
verity and the very denunciations seem
to mourn. In a pure soul, indignation
at evil is not an alternative or mere
accompaniment of benevolence, but
benevolence itself, acting for the pres-
ervation of happiness. It seems im-
possible for one , tb be good and not
abhor that which destroys happiness.-
The cities wherein Christ performed
his mighty works have suffered the
consequence of their iniquity, and thoy
hate been swept with the very besom
of destruction. God holds us respon-
sible for* our opportunities and often
the most favored classes are the most
wicked. Material prosperity ruins
them. Kidd, in his "Social Evolu-
tion.” substanially says that even in
England during the nineteenth century
in almost all the great social-and po-
litical changes thnt have been effected,
they hav taken the side of the party
that has been admitted to have been
in the wrong. Is not great corporate
wealth iq this country always opposed
to great social and’ political reforms?
It is a fact that almost all great re-
forms have been accomplished by the
middle and lower classes. It is very
difficult to make the plutocrats see the
evils in the spoils system and the
civilization, will drive these evils from
our beautiful country. Jesus taught
the truth on every question of right-
eousness.
A great deal of foolishness has been
written against fear as a motive, when
it is expressly stated by the wise man
that the fear at the Lord is the be-
ginning of wisdom. A clear appre-
hension of the consequences of evil is
a powerful motive toward right doing
' To learn to fear those things worthy
of being feared was a part of educa-
tion, according to Aristotle. Says one,
"There is no use in trying to frighten
men to do right.” Suppose a man has
a dangerous disease and does not know
it, is not the person who frightens him
to get a good doctor a benefactor?
Sin is very deceptive, and if men can
be frightened into repentance and re-
jection of sin, It. is certainly a bless-
ing. - Fear is not the highest motive,
but it Is a very important one in some
cases.
The precious invitation of Jesus is
the most beautiful and tender language
to be found in the Bible. Jesus invited
all who were struggling under tho
heavy burdens of this life to come to
him and obtain rest. He did not for a
moment question their ability to come;
Calvin had not been bern and Edwards
had not'written his work on the will.
Jesus addressed man as a free, moral
agent, and said to certain ones: "Ye
will not come unto me that yet might
have life.” Rest in this world and still
higher rest in the world to' come is
promised to all who will come to
Christ. Goethe, the great German poet,
gives us the following lines:
"Rest is not quitting
The busy career:
Rest is the fitting
Of self to one's sphere.

the homo of the glorifed. St. Jolin
describes it as "coming down out of
heaven from God," and it is declared
that God would make his tabernacle
with men. Undoubtedly this language
is intended to describe the wonderfu!
transformation which it in God’s will,
that this world should undergo. Thia
world of ours is to be purged, cleansed,
redeemed, transformed. God's will is
ultimately to be as humbly obeyed on
the earth as In heaven. This wave of
vic righteousness that is rolling over
our country indicates that men are be-
ginning to realize that the will of God
is to bo done on the earth even as in
heaven.
It la only a quesiion of a little time
when men will begin to vote as they
pray: when the citizens of this great
republic will realize the sanctitv and
value of the ballot. Fbe day of- the
political boss and trickster 1b drawing
to a close. The day has already come
when the man who asks for the suf-
frage of the people must have clean
hands; Indeed he must avoid even the
appearance of evil.
And nil persons interested in the per-
petuation of the saloon must realize
that this prayer means its demolition.
The city of God on the earth is to
be a city of peace, joy, good will. God
will wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying; neither'shall
there be any more pain. For the for-
mer things are passed away.”
When sin and all rebellion against
God shall be put away the whole earth
will be full of the glory of God, and
that which causes the pangs of death
and anguish to the soul shall have no
power to afflict or distress,
"‘Thy will be done!” Let this be the
prayer of each one nt us. Let God's
case you If it knows you intend to do
right.
In this sense conscience is the voice
of God and Infallible, and in no other
sense. Conscience does not tell us
what is right and what is wrong, but
it does tell us when we intend to do
right or intend to do ‘wrong. It deals
with the motives. It is infallible as
the God-given power by which we per-
ceive and feel the -right and wrong in
the intention and the choice. ’ Conscience
is the foundation of the religion of sci-
ence. Its instincts point as directly
to the Supreme Being as the magnetic
needle points to the pole; for man is
instinctly a dependent being, and nat-
urally looks up to an independent one.
Man also has an instinctive anticipa-
tion of a future state, and the normal
man will , always look forward to a
better state of things in the future
world.

Thy will be done on earth as It Is In
heaven. Matt. vi:10-5. We can not con-
ceive of God, without attributing to
him a will. This faculty belongs to
rational and moral beings, and He who
endowed man with this great power is
himself possessed of it. In this the
third petition of the Lord’s Prayer, we
are taught to pray: “Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.” Notice
this wonderfl petition is not addressed
to Godas creator, nor to some mighty
intelligence as Supreme Ruler, 'but to
our Father who art in heaven. In a
sense the will of God being sovereign
and Intlnlte is always done. Things
are as he wills, or rather allows, them
to be. He could change the whole
order of the universe if ho saw At to
do so. Things remain as they are be-
cause God permits it.
Undoubtedly His will is undisvuted
in the natural world. His will is writ-
ten on the Armament and read in
the burning suns and radiant planets
that swing through space. . In the
clouds and storms. in the beauteous
rainbow that spans the sky with mani-
colored arc; in the mountain ranges. In
the ocean's broad expanse, the silvery
lake, and meandering river. Wo also
see his will in the gaping earthquake,
the resistless cyclone.' the havoc-of
pestilence, the pain and universal swav
of death. But the same Almighty be-
ing who makes the lightning pierce the
darkness and gives to thunder its over-
whelming voice, put song in the throats
of the nightingale, formed the graceful
Hilly, breathed sweet perfume oir the
blooming rose., kissed dimples on in-
fant faces and wrote Joyous innocenev
on their brows. If I enter a great
factory where enormous machinery is
in motion—wheels, great and small,
are revolving, and all kinds of work-
manship with deft and magic touch is
being turned out, I at once recognize
the manifest truth, .that all that I see
Is in accord with the will and intent
of the inventor of this machinery. And
So I look out on the great world, on
things animate and inanimate. I see
much which is puzzling and myster-
ious. much that I can not understand,
the obpect of which I can not conceive,
but one thing I know, it is the will
of God, my Father in heaven.
In the nature of the case it would
be foolish to ask that his will be done
with reference to matters over which
he exerts supreme control.
But there is a sense in which the
will of the Father is not always done.
Man is the only being of whom we
have any knowledge who deliberately
refuses obedience to the will of God.
The beasts and the inanimate objects
around us have not Intelligence to ac-
cept or refuse the will of God. What
a blank there would be in the world
if man did not exist. There would
be no rational being on the earth ca-
pable of beholding and admiring the
works of God. The flower would bloom
in vain. No eye would see the majes-
tic splendor of the moving sun. and
wonder at the panoramic glory of his
setting. No ear would catch the choral
music of aerial songsters. No mind
could calculate the-distance of the stars
and note their rhythmic movement. Tho
heavens would in vain declare the glory

•el up
impatience, no semblance of irritabil-
itx_.ever occur to mar the harmony
of this celestial land. The angelic com-
pany who stand before God are always
ready to obey his will. Unquestionably
they carry out his behests. They know
that whatever God commands is ac-
cording to the highest wisdom and
benevolence.
They are also zealous to perform any
mission committed to them. Thev

place, by the touch of their wings they
could shatter iron or marble and crush
them to dust. And they are dominated
by the most perfect love to. God and
to each other. Jealousy or envy or
competition they do not know. They
hold each one in honor, preferring one
another. .
Their kindness is seen in the Intense
interest which they manifest In the re-
pentance and salvation of the sinner.
In the twenty-first chapter of Reve-
latlons we read of the holy city, the
new Jerusalem, coming down from God
out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband. And John
says: "I heard a great* voice out of
heaven saying. Behold, tho tabernacle
of God is with men, and he. will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people
and God himself shall bo with them,
and be their God." As a general thing,
when" sermons are preached in this
city or attention is given to its study,
.it is described as the city of heaven.
Decalogue is patent. Man shall do
right. You examine the laws controll-
ing the natural world and you see
the same idea. The harmony and reg-
ularity which prevail In the physical
universe are the result of obedience to
the will of God. The whole idea is for
man to live and act as in the presence
of the God who made him. This would
insure blessedness.' To desire in all
things that God’s will be done. Of
course this means for the Individual
complete obedience to God. The man
from Tarsus, Saul, cried out: “What
wilt thou have me to do?" He did not
confer with flesh and blood, but at
once set about doing what God desired.
Do we see the will of God in this 1ght
being done? Take ourselves, how many
of us say In our hearts: “Thy will be
done?" Christ reached that point. He
said: “My meat is to do the will of
him that sent me.” He said: "I seek
not mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me.” "I am come down from
heaven, not to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me.” Alas!
this is not the attitude of millions to-
ward God, but on the contrary they
stand In an attitude of rebellion and
refusal. What is the meaning of all
the wickedness about us? Do you
think the profanity, dishonesty, lying,
cheating, murder, drunkenness in this
world is according to the will of God?
What does It mean that thousands
should live simply to gratify this ap-
petite and indulge their passion and
make the world all the worse for their
living in it. Behold the way millions
reject Jesus Christ, who came to the
earth marvellously accredited by God.
His gospel Is preached in vain to thou-
sands. Unbelief and zcofng often
salute it Behold the pride; selfishness,
vanity, earthiness of multitudes.
Why is the world in which we live
a place of such sorrow and pain, of
Dr. Lowber’s subject at night was
"The Grand Master's Toast; or. Con-
selence and Duty.” Dr. Lowber was
selected by the Knights Templar to
resopnd to the Grand Master’s Christ-
mas toast. This he did, and has been
requested to make It the subject of a
Sunday night address.
The "Grand Master’s Toast" reads
thus, "Man should ever seek his earth-
ly reward for deed done in the approv-
al of his conscience, which is the voice
of God: and, next, to gain the esteem
of his fellow man. which, when worth-
ily won. Is a priceless treasure.” This
is the finest toast I have ever seen in
print. The Grand Master seems to
have a correct view of conscience,
which but very few persons have. I
define conscience as that power of the
mind by which we perceive and feel
the rght and wrong in the intention
and the choice.’ It deals with mo-
tives, and even the little child will ex-

erime licensed, toe house of shame tol-
erated? Why are soul killing estab-
lishments allowed to prosecute their
infernal traffic? Why do thousands of
our fellows live with hatred and re-
venge in thejr hearts? Within the past
three days I ‘heard at different places
distinguished politicians speak of each
other in terms of bitter denunciation.
"For six years I have not allowed that
man to speak to me,” saidone of them
in a public address. This langage is
not according to the will of God. Whv
are households debauched and the in-
nocent made to suffer for the misdeeds
of the wicked? Why does righteous-
ness have, to contend for a foothold on
the earth? Is it not because God’s
will is not done?
When sin entered the Garden of
Eden purity was driven out, and it
was accompanied by its twin sister
happiness. Disobedience to the will of
God>is always followed by tumult, un-
certainty, ruin! It may not be appar-
ent at the moment.
"The mills of God may grind slowly,
But they grind exceeding smali,"
Tho Psalmist says he was envious
at the foolish, when he saw the pros-
perity of the wicked. Psalms 73:3—
He could not understand how they
prospered while they were corrupt and
spoke loftily, and set their mouths
against the heavens. He'adds, when I
thought to know this. it was too pain-
ful for me. Until I went into the sanc-
tuary of God, then understood I their
end. Surely, h adds, "Thou did’st set
them in slippery places: then casteth
them down into destruction." Then he
exclaims: "How are they brought Into
desolation as in a moment! They are
utterly consumed with terrors." Many
an ungodly and rebellious man seems
to be the picture of contentment. Thev
are given over to apparently a gross
and miserable life. But God is having
dealings with them that we know noth-
ing about.

he had gotten rid of a great burden—
