Those Israelites were reduced to a
file, and an they went over to the
garrison of the Philistine* to get
their axes and thedr goads and tho
plows sharpened, The Edible distinct-
ly states {t -the text which 1 read at

slaty and holding that position against
all oppressions, and all trial, and alt
persecution, mid all criticism. The
church of God to -day wants more
backbone, more deflanee, more con-
secrated bravery, more metal. How
often you see a man start out 1n some
good enterprise, and at the first blast
of oppo.l(tfon he has collapsed, and a0
hes courd'ge gone, forgetting the taut
that if a man be right all the opposi-
tion of the earth, pounding away at
him cannot do him any permanent
damage. It is only when a man 1s
wrong that he can be damaged, Why,
God is gofng to vindicate his truth,
and he is going to stand by you, my
Mende, in every effort you make for
Christ's cause and the salvation of
men.
Go forth In the service of Christ
and do your whole duty. You have
one sphere. "The Lord of Hosts
is with us, and the tied of Jacob le
our refuge. Oetah." We want more
of the determination of Jonathan. I
do not suppose he was a very wonder-
ful man, but he got on his knees and
clambered up the rock, and with
the help of hie armor -bearer he hew-
ed down the Philistines, and a man
of very ordinary intellectual attain-
ments on hie knees can storm any-
thing for God and for the truth. We
want something of the determination
of the general who went In the
war and as he entered his fleet bat-
tle his knees knocked together, his
phyalcal courage not quite up to hie
moral courage, and he looked down
at hie knees and said, "Ah, If you
knew where I am going to take you
you would shake worse than that,"
There is only one question for you
to ask and Inc me to ask. What does
God want me to do? Where le the
veld? Where 1s the work? Where is
the anvil? Where is the prayer meet -
Ing? Where le the pulpit? And find-
ing out what God wants us to do, go
ahead and do it, all the energies of our
body, mind and soul enlisted In the
undertaking.
Church of God, lift up your head at
the coming victory! The Philistines
will go down, and the Iaraelltes will
go up. We are on the winning side.
I think just now the king's horses
are being hooked up to the chariot,
and when he does ride down the sky
there will be such a hosanna among
Hie friends and much a walling among
the enemies as will make the earth
tremble and the heavens sang. I see
now the plume. ot the Lord's caval-
rymen tossing In the air. The arch-
angel before the throne has already
burnished hte trumpet, and then he
will put its golden lips to his own,
and he will blow the long, loud blast
that will ,hake all the nations free.
'`lap your hands, all ye people! Hark!
I hear the falling thrones and the
?lashing down of demolished iniquities.
"Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent
relgneth! Hallelujah, the kingdoms of
this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord Jesus Christ!"
