PUBLIC WORSHIP.

A SERMON PREACHED IN ST. PETER’S CHURCH ON SUNDAY LAST BY REV. W. B. KING

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of

Him.—Ps. XCVIE. 9.

THERE are few persons, who think at all of the deeper subjects of life, who are not at times painfully conscious of a certain unreality in public worship. The lofty tone of praise, the quiet strain of prayer, find little or nu echo in their own hearts. On every side, there is the sound of much devotion, but their own souls do not rise to it. While their lips give utterance to words of intensest adoration, their hearts make no response ; and the feeling steals across them that a great deal of the ordin- ary public service of God is little more thanasham. The extreme deference and servile cringing by which people are treated by some of the Oriental races, is often only the mask of deceit and cowardice ; and the extravagant politeness of some of the Spanish American creoles is frequently only the disguise of treachery and hatred. And s0 it sometimes seems with many, per- haps the majority, of professed, church- going Christians. Our psalms and hymns, our prayers and praises, often appear to be only an empty utterance, while the heart beneath is listless, apathetic and dull. We have only to test ourselves to see that this is true. We have only to recall the many, many services that we have engaged in, in which we have scarcely made one heartfelt act of praise, or lifted up our minds in one word of sincere and earnest prayer. I donot mean that we are all like that, or that any of us are always like that; but there are very few of us who cannot look back over much that has been cold, much that has been unspiritual, much that has been really irreligious and wicked in what is supposed to be our public worship of God.

Nearly every thinking person must be at times painfully conscious of this. The more painfully we are conscious of it the better. For it is quite possible to be aware of it, and yet not to care. It is quite possible to know perfectly well that we do not worship God as we cught to,

and yet not to be distressed at it. It is quite possible to go on _ year after year, and though a man’s

whole lifetime and to be perfectly indifferent, and to make no effort (or scarcely any effort) after a higher standard of devotions and holiness at all. This is quite possible, and I can imagine uo more terrible, no more damnable, position fora soul to be in than this. If it be possible for a soul to be everlastingly condemned, I can think of none that runs a greater risk of it, than this easy going, indelent, indifferent soul, that knows its own sin and is satisfied with it; that knows how to please God, and yet choses to displease Him. Can such a one realize what is the chief object in life? Can one who willfully neglects the worship of God be aware that it is the great purpose and aim of our lives to worship Him’ Do we ourselves remember, as we ought, that it was for this we were created, and for this God called us into being? Oh, if any of us have no present definite intention of worshipping with a fuller, warmer devotion in the future than we have had in the past, let us pause for a moment and think whither that want of intention is leading us? We are choosing the very easiest method of going directly to hell. Without true wor- ship of God we can have no true spiritual life; without spiritual life we must have spiritual death, and spiritual death means an eternal loss of some kind, and an eternal suffering of some kind.

We all know what it is to do battle with some sins. Even the most indifferent among men has occasionally had to struggle with some passion and contend with a fierce temptation. And we all know some- thing of the humiliation of defeat, of the agony of remorse, of self-loathing, and of dread lest we shall ever again fail as we have fallen. Nearly everybody knows something of these things-——knows what it is to be rocked by passion and tempest tost upon the sea of life—but surely we all can not know that there is a haven where we shall be comparatively safe, and that to go on worshipping God and praying to Him, is the best protection we can have against our own inborn love of evil. It is very, very seldom that a man falls into great sins all at once. Little by little the desire steals upon him, and overpowers his fancy. But there is always a beginning, and that beginning generally takes place when he has become cold and careless in his worship of God, when be has begun to utter empty prayers and insincere praises, and to let his heart be weaned away from devotion to His Saviour.

It is there that we find the root of many of our evils. It is from that cause that many -of our sins arise. If wo have bad habits, |and want to stop them, we must begin at ‘the beginning. If we wish to attain to any | degree of personal holiness we must begin iby personal prayer and personal adoration. | That is the source and spring of all true earnestness of life and purpose. If we | neglect that, it is but very doubtful whether ‘we shall make any headway against evil; if 'we deliderately choose to turn away from ‘it, we do so only at the risk of losing for- | ever the chance of worshipping God in , heaven. | Yes, coldness in the adoration of God, is {the cause of many a good man’s fall. ‘There is, perhaps, no more tragic sight ‘under the sun, than that of a man who has /once been careful to please God, careful in |prayer, careful in worship, careful in his actions, careful in his communions; of such ‘a man becoming, little by little, less and less careful, growing laxer and_laxer, ‘looser and looser, colder and colder, till ‘beaten sins rise up again, and weakened temptations become fierce again, and by

and bye there comes a fearful fall, and)

then another and another and another,

, till at last there seems to be an almost

infinite distance between what that man is ard whit Ne hu been. We have seen a

holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe ot |

star suddenly leap from the stillness of the sky, and dart with incredible swiftness | down into darkness. It all takes place in | an instant of time; but, though the fall has been sudden, yet the causes that pro- duced it have probably been working silently and secretly for hundreds, or it may be thousands of years. And so in the life of man; for everything there is a pre- paration, aud the changes that come upon us with a very shock of suddenness have only been brought about gradually and in ways of which we have been wholly un- aware. And it is with great spiritual downfalls, as with other things. Have we not sometimes known of a life that was outwardly quite pure and temperate and God-fearing ! Have we not known it to go on for years in this way, winning respect and honor on al] sides. Till suddenly there is a rumor of a great sin in connection with that life; and the rumor which is scarcely believed at first becomes a known fact; and we learn with sorrow to look upon &@ man or woman who was once revered and honored, as bearing a ruined character. But the sin that became suddenly known, was not suddenly com- mitted. A terrible, unconquerable tempta- tion comes on one all at ouce. To every tree there must be a root, and to every sin there must be a beginning ; and that be- ginning may nearly always be found in prayer grown careless and love grown cold. These are the causes of most men’s fall. God doesn’t suffer us to be tempted above that we are able to bear. With every temptation He has made a way of escape. That way isin personal communion with Him, in coming to Him and speaking to Him as a child pleads to its father, and as a man talks with his friend. That is the one way of escape; those who seek it will find it, and only those. However weak we may be, the strength we shall re- ceive from that personal intercouse will help us, and the grace we shall drink in from that personal speech with God will be quite sufficient to supply our shortcomings.

As | have said, to every thing there is a source. The source of sin is often in cold- ness of worship; and coldness of worship has a source of its own. We all know what it is tu pray without the spirit of prayer ; to praise without taking delight in praise ; to kneel down without a thought of hom- age, and to arise without a thought of worship. We Christians, most of us, know what it is to look upon the worship of Christ as a eomewhat dreary per- formance, which custom compels us to sit out; know what it is to listen to God's word without drinking in a syllable of com. fort; know what it is to look at Christ on His Cross without a thought of pity ; know what it is to be glad when the hour of prayer is over, so that we can once more be free from the restraint that Christ exercises uponus. Yes, we whom Christ bas died to save, we who believe in the Salvation that He has won for us—know too well what all these feelings are; and do we ever askjourselves what is the cause of them? whence do they spring! and how is it that we have no higher or holier feeling! I think if we did ask ourselves that question now and then, and thought carefuily about it, even for a few moments, we should not

'

be long in finding an answer to it. For isn’t it quite evident that if we do not care for speaking to

God, it is because we do not care for God Himself? We feel towards God ina matter of this kind, just as we do towards men. If we dislike speaking to such and such a man, it is generally because we dis- like the man himself. And if we take this as an illustration of the case in point does it not reveal a most terrible want of religious feelingin us? I am afraid it is quite true that some Christians positively dislike the worship of God, dislike coming to Church, dislike prayer in public, dislike prayer in private. lt is a very awful thing to say, but it is no use shutting our eyes to it—they dislike the worship, be- cause in their secret hearts they dislike God, Oh, to think of a human being, whom God has made only a little lower than the angels, turning round and with such ineffable baseness, daring to dislike the Father who created him, and the Saviour who died to redeem him! The very thought of it is almost like blasphemy ; and we cannot but shudder to think how nearly we ourselves may sometimes come to being in that most awful of all positions. But let us hope that such Christians as these may be few, and let us pray that they may become still fewer, and let us both strive and pray that we may never be found among the member.

Leaving them behind, we come to another class of Christians—those who do not actually dislike God’s service, but who do not positively like it; who come to His service as a duty, and who do so with more or less regularity, but who take no real pleasure in it, feeling the time long that they spend there, and glad when they can get away. We cannot but admit that a tremendously large number of Christians may be ranked in this class. And if we trace this state of mind back to its cause, we shall see that the lack of positive love for God’s service springs from the lack of positive love towards God. This is a condition ouly a little better than that of those who actually dislike God. Both are as fearful as they can possibly be, and both are infinitely far off from a state of abso- lute salvation. Eye hath not seen nor ear heard the things which God has prepared for them that luve him; but what can there be forthose who do not love, and those who really dislike, Him? He has been merciful enough not to tell us; yet still we

t cannot but know that there must be much |

summon up our resolution and let us go on praying and worshipping with all the earn estness of which we are capable. Let us do that bravely, in spite inward dislike to it, in spite of lack of interest ; let us go on unflincaingly and manfully, and we shall find that love will reward us at last. Holy men tell us that there is no greater bliss than that—no greater happiness on earth or in heaven than to possess a sincere love But even holy men have their periods of coldness, their attacks of dullness, and we must not expect to eseape them. There will be days in our lives, and weeks, and even months, when we shall find that we have lost the blush of zeal and earnestness, when our hearts will be listless and disinclined for worship and prayer. That is the moment of danger. It comes upon everybody ;-—and that is precisely the time to be most in earnest, to keep most diligently to ail we have been ac- customed to do, and if possible to do more. The feeling will pass in time. The better thoughts and desires will come back again, but only by our being instant in prayer and adoration. It isat such periods as this that men who have once been good, fall away and go down so terribly; but is also at such periods that men who do not fall, gain strength to rise to vreater heights. Wor- ship and prayer will carry us through the darkest hours, and help us to keep down the most insistent passion. Let us pray to God for strength and grace to engage in them more earnestly, to overcome ccldness apd to increase in zeal; and _ those who learn best to love God's service here, will enter most readily into the joy of His service there, where every act must be a a direct tribute to His honor and to His

glory.
