LONDON : ESTABLISHED 130 TEARS. 11 Will a man rob God?"— Matt. iii. 8. " Thief ! Stop thief ! " A confused sound of voices— of running feet— a rattle sprung— a fugitive caught. In the wakeful hours that followed this incident which roused me from my slumbers, I could not help thinking how to each of us the call " Stop thief'" might come in God's own voice. No doubt we think it there is anything that belongs to us it is surely ourselves, by which we mean our bodies which we see and touch and feed and dress. Probably we do not treat them very well, but we say, " That's my own business ; it hurts no one else. Now this is not true. Our sin does hurt others. We ask, " Is not our body our own 1 - No. We did not create it— we cannot make it grow— we cannot keep it alive; it is simply a body, lent by the Almighty Maker of all things as a dwelling- place of the immortal soul, and it is no more ours than the world we live in is ours. Ye: are not your own." All our faculties and powers belong to God, not to us. It we claim them for ourselves we are thieves. Perhaps we have nothing to do with low vices, but are educated, intelligent, far " too wise / perhaps to think of serving God ; or respectable church- going people saying indignantly, This cannot aftect me," and yet giving six days and part of the seventh to business, society, & c., and an hour and a half to God's House. If we have a measure of true light and know- ledge received from God, and have stolen that in addition to the talents we share with those whom we condemn, are we not yet greater thieves than others ? bo as the cry comes loudly—" Stop thief!" Account for time, one of Gods most precious gifts. How do we use it ? Are we doing our duties, feeling responsible t-> God for all as honest people, serving Him in our bodies and spirits which are His. We are bought; Jesus bought us with His blood. Is not the price a high one 1 Are we not precious in God's sight. We belong to Jesus then, and if we deny the Lord that bought us, we are most dishonest. The Devil is a hard master, and gives death as his wages. Jesus is our true master, and if we be honest and true ' the midnight cry" will have no terror, but be the echo only of the Masters Welcome, " Well done/' ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED IN ALL LONDON, PROVINCIAL, and FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS RAILWAY TIMETABLES, THEATRE PROGRAMMES- MAGAZINES, PERIODICALS, & c< Exceptional Terms for a Series.
