The Huron Expositor, 1893-08-18, Page 2Tr 2 Something New` TQM GI-REgT THE HURON EXPOSITOR. TO LOOK BACKWARD. THE MAST SHOULD NOT BE AS THE WATERS THAT HAVE RUN BY. Youth Should Not Spend All Its Time in Gazing Into the Future—Dr. Talmage Swings the Scythe on the Harvest of Past Advantages and Past Adversities. BROOKLYN. August 6. — Rev. Dr. Talmage has chosen as the topic for to- day, a panorama of reminiscences appro- priate to the season, the text selected be- ing Psalm 39 : 3 : "While I was musing the fire burned." • Here is David, the psalmist, with the forefinger ot his right hand /against his temple, the door shut swains the world, engaged in conteumplation. the And it would be well for e posture often, closing the door against the world, while we sit down in sweet solitude to contemplate.• chest I Once In a small 1 lass n d off the passed a Sabbath in delightful solitud.e, for I had resolved that I would have one day of entire quiet before I entered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying out plans for Christian work ; but Instead of that it -became a day of tender reminiscence. I reviewed my pastorate ; I shook hands with an old departed friend, whom I Shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I was ten years of age, and I was eight, and I was five. There was but one house on the island', and yet from Sabbath clay break, when the bird chant woke me, until the evening melt- ed into the bay, from shore to shore there were ten thousand memories, and the.groves were ahum with voices that had long ceased. - Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. Old age is apt too much to spend all its time in looking backward. People in mid-life and on the apex look both ways. It would be well for us, I think, however. to spend more time in reminscence. By the con- stitution of our nature we spend most of the time looking forward. And the vast majority of people live not so much in the present as in the future. 1 find that you mere to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantages that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal • of your time. But I see no harm in this, if it does not make you discontented with the present, or disqualify you for existing duties. It is a useful thing sometimes to look . back, and to see the dangers we have escaped, and to see the sorrows we have suffered, and the trials and wanderings of our earthly pilgrimage, and to suns up our enjoyments. I mean -to-day; so far as God may, help me, to stir up your memory of the past, so that in the re- view you may be encouraged and hum- bled, and urge to pray. There is ti chapel in Florence With a fresco by Guido. It was covered up with two inches of stucco until our Am- erican and European artists went there, and after long toil removed the cover- ing and retraced the fresco. And I am aware that the memory of the past, With manly of you, is all covered up with ten thonsand obliterations, and I propose this morning so far as the Lord may help ine, to take away the cover- ings, that the old picture may shine out again.
