.7“. A . .r'. ”(11, 3.1%.. in A New Sermon by Pastor C Spurgeon- “ But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout in: joy, because thou defendest them : let them also that love thy name be joyful thee.” Ps. 5 : 11. Christ’s Legacyâ€"Peace and Joy. “ The Lord doth put a difference be- tween the Egyptians and Israel.” There is an ancient difference which He made in His eternal purpose ; and this is seen in every item of the covenant of grace. “The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself ;” but it is also written, “ The foolish shall not stand in their sight : thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” You that have believed are of the house of Israel, and heirs according to promise ; for they that are of faith are the true seed of faith- ful Abraham. See that ye make manifest this difference by the holiness of your li as. “ Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord. and touch not the unclean thing.’ Evermore display this difference by the joyfulness of your spirits. The servants of the Lord should wear the royal livery : that livery is made of the fine cloth of holiness, trimmed with the lace of joy. Take care that you ex- hibit both holiness of character and joy- inlness of spirit ; for where these two things are in us, and abound, they make us that we be not barren nor unfruitful. To us there should be joy, strikingly to contrast with the unrest of the unbeliever. If you walk in the light as God is in the light, go forth and let men see the bright- ness of your countenance s, and take know- ledge of you that you have been with J esus, and have learned of Him His gra- cious calm as well as His holiness.

Sparkling Fountain. glatd to am journeying of knowing Him say, ‘aviour Our joy arises next from what the Lord does for us. “Let: them shout for joy because thou defimdest them.” God always guards His people, Whoever may attack them. “The Lord is thy keeper.” Angels are our guardians, providence is our pro- tector ; but God Himself is the preserver of His chosen. “ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; nor for the pestilence that walket-h in darkness ; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon- day.” No fortress guards the soldier so well as God guards his redeemed. The ‘God of our salvation will defend us from all evil. He will defend our souls. “ Though an host should encamp against me. my heart shall not- fear : though war ishmzid rise against me, in this will I be l confident.” § 1 have pointed to the deep sources from iwhich the joy of the believer wells up ; ' but I must also add, it is by faith that the tjny comes to us.

Lord. The more you search-the Scriptures, and the nearer you live to God, the moreyou The shouting need not always be done in a. public service, or it might hinder devout hearing ; but there are times and places where a glorious outburst of en- thusiastic joy would quizken life in all round. The ungodly are not half so re- strained in their blasphemy as we are in our praise. How is this ? They go home making night hideous with their yells : are we never to have an outbreak of con- secrated delight? Yes, we will have our high days and holidays, and we will sing and shout for joy till even the heathen say. “The Lord hath done great things for them.” Once more, the happiness is a. thing of the heart ; for the text runs thusâ€"“ Let them that love thy name he joyful in thee.” We love God, I trust I am speaking to runny who could say, " Lord, thou know- est all things; thou knowest that I love thee.” Is{3 it not a. verv h '11 93* emotion ? What is sweeter than to say, with the tears in one’s eyes,-e-“ My God, I ”love thee 3” To sit down and have nothing to ask for, no words to utter. but only for the soul to love--is not this heavenly? Measureless depths of unutterable love are in the soul, and in those depths we find the pearl of joy. \Vhen the heart is taken up with so delightful an object as the ever- -blessed God, it feels a. joy which cannot be rivalled Next, let your joy be manifested. “Let them ever shout for joy.” Shouting is an enthusiastic utterance, a. method which men use when they have won a victory, when they divide the spoil when they bear home the harvest, when they tread the vintage, when they drain the goblet. Believers, you may shout for joy with un- reserved delight. Some religionists shout, and we would not wish to stop them ; but we wish certain ofr them knew better of holy joy. I am bound to speak upon this matter : for I have told you that the joy of the believer is logical, and can be defended by facts and so indeed it is. For first, the believer’s joy arises from the God in whom he trusts. “ Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice.” My nature gets all its wants supplied, all its desires gratified, when it rests in God. Oh. you that never trusted ’in Goo. in Christ Jesus, you do not know what real happiness mean 2 You may search all the theatres in London, and ransack all the music-halls, and clubs, and publicâ€"houses, but you will find no happiness in any of their mirth. or show, or wine. True joy dwells where dwells the living God, and nowhere else. In your own home with God, even though that home be only a ; single room, and your meal be very scanty, [you will see more of heaven than in the palaces of kings ! Have God for your sole trust, and you shall never lack for joy. not great cause for gladness; and if he never doubts and worries till He has a. justifiable reason for distrust, He will never doubt nor worry. This joy is to be repeated with Vari- ations. Joy blends many colors in its one ray of light. At times it is quiet, and sits still beneath a weight of glory. I have known it weep, not salt drops. but sweet showers. Have you never cried because I)? you: joy in the Lord '? Sometimes joy labors for expression till it is ready to faint ; and anon it sings till it rivals the angels. Singing is the natural language of joy ; but oftentimes silence suits it even better. Our joy abides in Christ, whether we are quiet or shouting, Whether we fall at our Lord’s feet as dead, or lean on His bosom in calm delight. REASONS FURNIS'H FUEL for the flame. A man may be sad, if he cannot explain his sadness, or he may be greatly glad, though he cannot set forth the reasons for his joy. The joy of a be- liever in God has a firm foundation : it is not the fabric of a. vision. This joy is logical. When I was a child and went to school, I remember learning out of :-. "nook caiiec “ Why and Because.” Things one learns as a child stick in the memory ; and therefore I like a text which has a “because” in it. Here it is. “Let them ever shout for joy, because thou de- fendest them.” Emotions are not fired by logic ; and yet II. Next I come to the second head : i?! enjoy of that greatâ€" gobdncss which7 WHAT THEY ARE SHOUTING FOR. THE GROUND AND REASON YOU WERE SAVED, THE WATCHM‘AN, the Lord has laid up for them that Faith perceives that affliction may be most precious as a test, acting as doth the fire, when it shows what is pure gold and what is base metal. Faith joys in a test so valuable. Faith sees sweet love in every bitter cup. Faith knows that when- ever she gets a. black envelope from the heavenly post-office, there is treasure in it. When the Lord’s black horses call at our door, they bring us double loads of blessing. Up to this moment, I, God’s servant, beg to bear my unreserved testi- mony to the fact that it is good for me to have been afiicted. In spiritual life and knowledge and power, I have grown but little except when under the hand of trouble. I set my door open, and am half inclined to say to pain and sickness and sadness, “ Turn in hither ; for I know that you will leave a blessing behind. Come. crosses, if you will : for you always turn to crowns.” Thus faith glories in tribulations also, and in the lion of adver- sity finds the honey of Joy. THE BANK OF PROMISES. Moreover, faith believes great pro- mises. This opens other Wells of joy. I cannot stop to quote them to you this morning : the Book of the Lord is full of them. What more can the Lord say than He hath said? The promises of God are full, and as varied as they are full, and as sure as they are varied, and as rich as they are sure. “ Exceeding great and precious promises." When I wrote “ T he Cheque Book of the Bank of F aith ” I was at no loss to find a promise for every day in the year ; the difliculty was which to leave out. When a man gets a promise fairly into the hand 0t faith, and goes to God with it, he must rejoice. concerning this joy. I think I hear some- body say, “ It is all very well for you to tell us that believers are joyful, and have logical reasons for gladness; but some of them are about as dull as can be, and create dulness in others." I am obliged to speak very carefully here, for I am afraid that certain Christians give cause for this objection. long :' So we’ll smooth it with hope, and cheer it with song." III. We will look, for a. minute or two, into a third matter, which is Above all, faith has an eve to the eter- nal reward. She I‘CJOiCES in her prospects. She takes into her hand the birds which to others are in the bush. To be with Christ in the gloryâ€"land is the joy of hope, the hope which maketh not ashamed. Our hope is no dream; as sure as we are here to-day, we who are trusting in Christ will be in heaven before long; for He prays that we may be with Him where He is, and may behold His glory. There is a crown of life laid up for you, which the righteous Judge will give you. Where- fore, have patience a little while. Bear still your cross. Put up with the difiicul- ties of thy way, for the end is almost in sight. “The way may be rough but it cannot be Let me say to some of you who love to raise objections. What do you know about this joy ? Are you unbelievers? \Vell, then, you are out of court: you are not competent to judge. The griefs of believers you do not know, and with their joy you cannot intermeddle. You have no spiritual taste or discernment, and What judgment can you form '? A genuine believer may be as happy as the angels, and yet you may not; know his joy, because you are not in the secret. Alas! some profesors of religion are mere pretenders, these have no joy of the Lord. To carry out their pretence, these persons even imagine that it is necessary to pull a long face and to talk very solemn- ly, not to say dismally. Their idea of religion is, that black is the color of heaven. But, dear friends, we cannot prevent hypocrites arising; it is only a proof th .t true religion is worth having. It won] not pay anybody to be a hypo- crite unless there were enough genuine Christians to make the hypocrites pass current. Therefore do not say too much about hypocritical weepors, lest you slan- der true men. I SHOULD BE \VRETCHED, too, if you were my son. If any of you are living ungodly lives, it makes your parents’ heart ache to gee you going head- long to perdition.

Her only remaining offspring had been kidnapped, and was said to have been in the soupâ€"the mock- turtle soup. She pined and fretted a good deal, and this preyed upon her vitality, impairing digestion and threatening her with hollow-horn and early death. I got her a large quantity of bran and made a pleasant and soothing mash upon her by means of it. At first she would insert her nose in it up to the top of the lower eye- lid, and then looking far away over the purple hills, she would blow this bran mash across the state, and what did not go up the sleeves of my overcoat would chink up the barn and freckle our family carriage.

I close by mentioning the argu- ments for abounding in joy. You cannot argue a man into gladness, but you may possibly stir him up to see that which will make him happy. First, you see in “ Let all that put their trust in thee re- joice.” You have here a ticket to the banquets of joy. You may be as happy as ever you like. You have divine per- mission to shout for joy. Yonder is the inner sanctuary of happiness. You cry, “ May I come in '2” Yes, if by faith you can grasp the text, “Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice.” “ But may I be happy ?” asks one. “ May I be glad “.3 May I 2 Is there joy for me ?” Do you trust in the Lord ? Then you have your passport ; TRAVEL IN THE LAND OF LIGHT. But the text is not only a permit, it isa precept. When it says, “ Let them shout for joy,” it means that they are command- ed to do so. Blessed is that religion wherein it is a duty to be happy. Come, ye mournful ones, be glad. Ye discon- tented grumblers, come out of that dog- hole ! Enter the palace of the King ! my text Abound in joy, for then you will be- have best to those who are round about you. When a map is unhappy. he usuglly We have here more than a permit and a precept it is a prayer. David prays it, the Lord Jesus prays it by David. Let them rejoice, let them be joyful in thee 3 Will He not grant the prayer which He has inspired by causing us to rejoice through lifting upon us the light of His countenance? Pray for joy yourself, say- ing, “ Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.” (intently unjust. Itis often dyspepsia that makes a. man find fault with his servants and wife and children. If a man is at peace with himself, he is peaceful with others. Get right within, and you will be right without. Do you not know that. if you are full of joy you will be turning the charming side of religion where men can see it ’I I should not like to Wear my coat with the seamy side out .' some religionists always do that. It was said of one great professor, that he looked as if his religion did not agree with him. Godliness is not a rack or a thum- screw. Behave not to religion as if you felt that you must take it, like so much physic, but you had rather not. If it tastes like nauseous physio to you, I should fear you have got the wrong sort, and are poisoning yourself. Believe not that god- liness is akin to sourness.
