BLACK : As there are no church services at present, Rey. Mr. Black has kindly contribnted the following sermonette upon a timely topic: - ISAIAH--Chapter 6. 1-4. : In the year that King Uzziah died, which according to chronology was the year in which Romulus, the foundar of the Roman Empire, was born, Jehovah revealed Himself to a young man named Isaiah, It was a dark year for the nation--'the year that King Uzziah died." The truth that "man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble," was being borne in upon Israel with-an increasingly de- pressing power. The season of glorious prosperity and optimism which had preceded the year of the death of the King stood forth as a poor simpléton to mock their misevigs ratlier than to allay them. And the sense of God's withdrawal of Hts favour filled many minds. : During ihe greater part of his long reigir of 52 years, Uzziah 'bad lived 1a the. fear of Jehovah, and his kingdom had enjoyed a prosperity 4 which: it Solomon. _- But too great a "self elation he determined to usurp the function of the: priests and burn incense npen the altar of God. Enragad at the resistance of the priests who endeavored to dissuade him, Uzziah with hi§ censer in his band was. forcing his way to the altar when suddenly ticie appeared upon him the symptoms of the ledrosy from which he subsequently died. Upon the mind of the youthful Isaiah the splendid career and tragic death of the King had a powerful influence. He had witnessed what a certain class of persons are wont to call "a Divine judgment," for, in Uzziah's case, cause and effect stood in close co-relation. With the earnestiiess of youth he brooded over. the experience of the stricken king, no doubt realizing as never before the presence of an unseen pow- er, which was ever about him and from which there was no escape. A God vindictive and remorseless toward all who transgress His laws. For it 1s characteristic of men in every age and nation to formulate a.con- ception of God in accordance with the particular experience or mystery for which they seek an explanation. Thus: to the mind of one man God is "loving and gracious," to another He is "revengeful and cruel," while the mass of men have no clearly defined conception of God to express. Like the X in the equation, God is ever to thsm "the unknown quantity" and for the solution of the equation they have no concern. What the year in which Uzziah died was to Isaiah, every year is to some individual '- Tt was the year in which hé "saw" Jehovah. 1Itis no f accident that Isaiah found the solution of his mystery in the Temple. That was the place where God had appointed to meet with His people. How often, we wonder. do we really look for Him there? But the vision of God which Isaiah saw was infinitely beyond his loftiest contemplation. It was a vision of God "high" and "'ifted up," A God of infinite glory too great for description. A God upon whose holy face he could not look, for a glimpse of the sweeping garments prostiated him. This God whom Isaiah saw is surrounded by a host of servants who stand ready to do His will wherever He may send them;-and who give voice to the to the glory of the of the vision singing, "Holy, Holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the fulness of the earth is His glory." And must we not confess that too often our conceptions of God | have been most dishonoring to Him? ~~ Have we not composed for our- setves- a "magnified man" and called Him God; and out of our imper- fect knowledge endeavored to enlighten others regarding the being and attributes of God? What a marvelous manifestation of Divine favor it would be, if we might be enabled to say, "In the year that King Uzziah ' died," God revealed himself in infinite splendour and majesty to the young man Isaiah; and in the year of 'tbe Spanish Flu" He revealed Himself in Glory unto me. In the fifth year of the war, when the gigantic armaments, with which the Kaiser bad planned to work out the destiny of Europe in blood and iron, were proving so ineffective; and Britain's "contemptibles" with their Allies were triumphing over appar ently overwhelming odds, Jew clears the judgment of military leaders, fierves the arm that fights, and gives victory, not.to thevhig battalions, but to the people who most loy- "ally obey Hi§ moral and physical laws. / Or again, in the year of "the Spanish qu" when a great and- far- reaching epidemic had overtaken communities and nations with its con- sequent suffering and (sorrow, and its sobering and = solemnizing effects; the courage and inventiveness of those who ministered to the un- fortunate victims the personal love and attention they required, was a revelation of the spint of Christ.. 3 "+. In many homes, this year will be recalled as 'the year in which our loved one died," The year in which our thoughts were suddenly drawn away from the quest sntemplation of things earthly and material to the: consideration of the spiritual and eternal, When, with'ever decpen- _ ing desire to understand God's dealings with 'us, and the purpose of His directing voice, we gaibed assurance of the "house of many mansions" had not-known. since the. days of & FEF AIEEE ARE TEON ES Of HIP RINE, Kid 1TH Widment of - we realized anew the unseen power which - by buying 4
