God‘s own house, the | Second _ Temple,. _ While Israel were | wanderers in the wilderness, God dwelt in ‘a movable tent called a Tabernacle. It | was His wish, however, that a solid strucâ€" ture of stone should be erected to His ‘ name as soon as His people were settled in the promised Land. Harrased by epâ€" "emies from without and broken by internal | strife, it was a long long time before by | Israel this great work was accomplished. ‘ It was David‘s favourite project, but all the | length he was allowed to go was to prepare ! the plan, the means, and the material for : the sazcred building. Solomon‘s temple at : length arose in size, smaler than many of the heathen temples, but unequalled beâ€" fore or since in the grandeur of its lofty | site on the sumimit of Moriah, in the I boauty cfits plan, and in its profuse richâ€" ness in gold, silver and precious stones. The following sermon was preached by the Rev. James Cameron, of Chatsworth, at the Opening of Burn‘s Church, Rocky Saugeen, on Sabbath Morning, December 22nd. found it hard work to raise again the desoâ€" late house, â€" It iseasy, friends, to destroy ; it is dificult to build up; difficult abeve all things, in a world like this to build the House ef Ged. The builders were disâ€" couraged and ceased ; and then they began again and wont ov. _ Haggai, "the Lord‘s messenger" excouraged the builders by the cheering words "I am with you, saith the Lord." The house at length approached completion ; and then came the glorious promise con:ained in the words of our text, "I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts." "L wILL PILL THIS HoUsE WITH GLORY, sumu Tue Lorp or Hosts." Haggai t, 7. This is the promise on which we should meditate toâ€"day, as we consecrate this beautiful house to the worship of Ged who fills the immensity of space, but who conâ€" doccnds to dwell among people that are "poor and of a contrite spirit and tremble at his word." Lctus then, as the subject of meditation consider, depending on promised Divine hoelp, Finstâ€"What this Promise means, and Srcoxpâ€"How this Promise may be Julfilled in regard to this house wherein we now stund. 1. â€" What the Promise means, or in u{/lrr: word», wherein consists this glory. _ I will fill this house with glory." _ Does lhis! mean that the two tables of store on | which God with his own finger wrote the law were going to be restered to their| place in the Holiest? No ; for the historâ€" ians teli us they perished in the ruins of’ Solomon‘s temple. Does this mean that the Urim and the Thimamin those myâ€" ‘ sterious tokens by which God gave furthi his oracles were to be again restored to the: temple 2 Not this: for there never again would appear in that house a priest with: Urina and Thumim, (Ezra 1, 63). Does} it mean, then, that the Shechingh that bright and inapproachable light should onee agaim appear in its wonted place beâ€" tween the cheriubim? No : from the seeâ€" md temple this visible presence of God, that chiefglory of the tabernacle, and the chief glory, even of Solomon‘s magnificent house was always and completely witheld. Does it mean that the sacred fire which came down from heaven, and which was kept burning day and night in their temâ€" ple till the Chaldeans extinguished it amid the ruins,â€"does the promise mean that this fire was to be restored? _ Not this : for the fire of the second temple was only fire from their hearths ; common fire such as that with which you will light thess lamps of yours toâ€"nignt. A Yon are ready to say :â€""The house was mean, its furniture was mean, and if it lacked the "tables of stoue" the Yeracles" "the Shechinah," the "sacred fire," then, there can be no glory human or Divine about the house, and let us write on its walls Ichabod, the glory is departed. . Stop, stop, do not write these woyds in the face of this promise. There is again a noise of hammers and & stir of builders. â€" Herod the Great is at work with much gold, and the skill in stone and in wood which Imperial Kome can give its proud Idumean favonrite.

POETRY Many years (about five htmdred) after Haggai spoke these words theto were seen one day going up to the Tempie a Jewish pair belonging to a humble rank in lifc. They were natives of the mountains of Galilee. He was a carpenter in one of its secluded villages, In her arms she carried a child six weeks eld. _ Among the great crowd that daily thronged the courts of Ged‘s house this woman and her child pass:d unnoticed till they met the gaze of an aged saint whose eye first caught the rising rays of the coming glory. Simâ€" eon took the child Jesus into his arms and blessed God and said "Lora now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." These were the first glimmerings of the coming glory promised through Haggai, Twelve years have passed. A lad twelve years old comes from the Highlinds (f Galilee with his parents to the feast. â€" He moves among the crowd unnoticed and unknown : but he, as was natural in a youth of piety and intelligence began to ask questions of the Rabbis, until at last a crowd gathered in the temple around the stranger and "all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers." ‘The dawn is brightening into morning in God‘s house. A few years more, and itis the Passoverâ€" Festival, _ The courts of the temple ar thronged with Jewish worshippers from ali the world. On the last day, the great day of the feast, that preacher whose fame was over the land and who spake as never man spake stood up to preach in tie great court of the temple. In tones of majesty anu aweetness that fillel the porches, and swept over the great crowd as the voice of God, filling the place with glory far beyonu the Shechinah, "Jesus stood and cried sayâ€" ing if any man thirst let him come unto me and drink," Then began some, wh like Simeon were taught of God, to soe the glory of Christ, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and trath, aad they said "This is the Christ." ‘The day has broken into high noon, and now at length the promise oi God is fulfilled "that he would fill that house with glory and that the latter house would be greater than the glory of the former house." ing on, and ence more on the top of Mount Moriah there stood a building that might a‘most claim to imitate the house Solomon built. Now, you say at last the promise of Haggai is fulfilled to a waiting church. Many, very many among the Jews did think this. But "God‘s ways are not our ways." Itis not in the direction of type or symbol, or of light or fire that God is looking. As usual in all his great things, God is looking in a direction contrary to the direction in whith the world was lookâ€" ing, and very different #l8> from the dirâ€" ection in which his own church was lookâ€" Let us learn, here, dear friends how great God‘s promises are. At a distance they seem small and of little account in comparison with the clamorous interests ol time pressing on us : but when the falfilâ€" ment of the promise comes we are amazed at our blindvess, in not seeing sooner the great good that was coming to us under such an humble guise. So great as Christ was above the sacred light and the sacred fire of the first temple,so great to lis chur L will be his second coming abovo his first coming. _ We learn, also that God‘s promâ€" ises are ever sure, Days, years, centuries, may pass and the church may be weary with waiting, but when the fulness o time comes,when "God‘s purposes are ripe," then breaks in amazement and glory on the slumbering and sleeping chure‘, the ery "Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him." We are now ‘ prepared to consider the second point proâ€" ‘l posed for our meditation. no doubt many a pious lad learning alâ€" ternately and answering wisely and quesâ€" tioning pertinently, but no such boy as He from the Hills of Galilee. Ia this pulpit will stand, no doubt as undoubtedly | did stand in your old log church,preachers ‘ who will preach with power the gospel of _ 1. How may this promise be fulfilled to you in connection with this church you have here built ? One thinz is sure enough, that in this house you will never see the Saviour as he appeared in the days of his ehildhood. Inthis house will be presentad to God no doubt, mauy a ohild : but never such a child as the babe of Bethichem. In this house will sit in your Sabbathâ€"Schools But let us understand that there is ai presence of Christ better for us in the present cireumstances than his bedily l presence. Many, in the days of his flesh saw his faceâ€"who did not see himself : fnd | many have seen himself who never saw his face. To the Jows he once said "Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and | was glad :" and to Thomas he said : "Blesâ€" ’ sed are they that have not seen and yet } have believed." There is a spiritual presence tf Christ to the eye of faith, | better than auy mere bodily presence. ‘ There is to the eye of faith a presence very precious, that presence and glory that appeared to Enech when he walked in the light of the coming Christ : that glory that appeared to Abraham causing him to forsake kindred and country : that glory that smoothed Jaeob‘s stony pillow at Bethel ; that glory that Moses saw and which so filled his mind that he saw no more beauty in Egypt‘s throne and palaces : that glory that filled the lonely wilderness where he fed his sheep, sustaining him there, for "he endured as seeing Him that | is invisible :" that glory that appeared to | his eye of faith when the Lord proclaimed ‘ his name. "The Lord God merciful and ; gracious, dc.," and which opened up a new | era in the history of God‘s Church ; thnt' glory advanced to glorious dimensions since Christ‘s eoming that appeared to | Lydia by the river side, and which caused ’ her to open her heart and her house to | Christ : that glory that filled the ja.ilor'l‘ house at Philippi, while Paul preached, so | that all the household saw it and beligyeq | and were baptised : that glory that dazzled ; the eyes of the Ephesians so that they I abamdoned their magic and burnt their ( bad books : that glory that turned Corâ€" inth from its idols, that brought impor?n“ Rome at length to the foot of the cross,| that glory that has appeared in many a| synagogue, many an upper chamber, many | a gorgeous cathedral, many a log chu-rh,‘ and backwoods schoolâ€"house, quickenin‘,ml dead souls, ronsing dormant energies, subâ€" | duing the wild, giving courage to the | timid, and turning to many a son of sorâ€" row this world into a"little Eden like the | heaven above." | the grace of God, but here you will never hear such a preacher as Jesus of Nazareth. That blessed face that was often sorrowful in his cenflict with evil we will never see till we see it in glory, sitting on the great white throne ; and that voice that filled that day the courts of the Temple we will never hear till we hear its summons "Come to judgment, come to judgement, come away ;" till we hear it pronounce on us the doleful sentence "Depart from me," or the joyful senten e "Come unto me ye blessed of my Father." That glory how can you secure in perâ€" petuity for this house? This is a question of vast importance for you and your childâ€" ren. Lcet me say then at the outset of the ! auswer to this question, that this glory canâ€" | not be got through costly buildings, beauâ€"| tiful pictures, ravishing _ music am]{ splendid priestly vestments. Many years | ago on a beautiful Sabbath afternoon in | summer I looked into St. Poter‘s in Rome | while evening service was geing on. _ Beâ€" ' low was the variegated marble pavement, ' above was the frescoed roof and that{ wonderful dome that seems to hang in | space, around were pictures in Mosaie and ; Statuary, the works of Italy‘s gifted men,| before the high altar was a company oxfl priests and choristers in gorgeous vestâ€"| ment. _ As they filled the fretted roef with ! their grand music, the sun, approaching | its sctting st:eamed in through the htmued\ glass and filled the house with the glory of| God‘s works in nature : but the glory of| God in Redemption, the glory of Imâ€" | manuel, the glory of the cfoss of (‘lll'ihtt was not there, for there was no Bible | there, there was no preacher there to hold ‘ up Christ, there was no gospel of Salvation tiere, and instead of writing Bethel ouf that grandest of christian churches, the } house of God, one needs must rathcr write Bethavenâ€"the house of emptiness and vanâ€" / ity. It is one of the tendencies of our day gaining grourd in some quarters, to forget or neglect the spiritual presence of God in his ordinances, and then to try to find a substitute for it in architecture, vestments, and music.â€" What is this but the childish folly of taking tinsel for gold or taking the shadow for the substance, of letting the sonl of religion go and busying ourselves with adorning the carcase. This is the tâ€"ue character of true ntualism. . It is well to see this beautiful and substantial church here, but unless you are alive to the necessities of your position, the glory of your former house, the old log building, may far excel any glory you will ever see here. And farther let me tell you that this glory ecannot begot for our churches by intel: lectual gifts, or by arts of rhetoric and oratory. On a Sabbath lately I was presâ€" ent at the forenoon service in a church in Rrooklyn, whose pastor is the foremost man of this continent for brilliant parts and gifts of oratory. In his sermon; there was logic and eloquence, there was wit and sarcasm, but there was no Christ, no place for a troubled sonscience through the rtoning sacrifice, no "Lamb of God come to take away the sins of the world." So service and sermon went on as the church grew dark and still darker and the heart grew sad, and one stepped into the street with joy to sge at least the natural sun . pouring his beamns on the East River. TORONTO ht imperial| Secondly, that in your pulpit there ° the cross,| should ever be a converted Ministry. It in many a‘l would be rash to say that God neyer blesses glory," Philip‘s request "Shew us the father and it sufficeth us," Cowper‘s prayer "O for a eloscr walk with God," were all pointing in the direction in which your prayers should point toâ€"day with renewed earnestness : and they were all answered in God‘s time and way. This house you may liken to a tree planted by the roadside for "ashadow in the dayâ€" time from the heat aud for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and rain." _ But you know that a tree is nourished by roots that run out of sight under ground. When the roots are busy collecting sap and sending it up the trunk, the tree will cast a wide and heavy shadâ€" dow ; but when the roots languish and die soon very soun the leaves wither and there is no more shadow of shelter under that tree. Your prayers in closet and 'fumily are the roots of this tree of your planting. â€" If earnest prayer goes up withâ€" | out censing to God to show here his glory, |"The Lord will create upon this dwelling {plnee of Mount Zion, and upon your asâ€" (semblics a cloud and smoke by day and [the shining of a flaming fire by night." | Let the opening of this house, therefore, ‘ be a loud call to the opening of closed lips> |the opening of closet prayer and the jerevu23 oi cumily Aitars. First,â€"There must be continual and earnest prayer in your homes. We believe in the efficacy of prayer. _ Its peeuliar power and province lies in spiritual things. How many an earnest prayer has been poured into the ear of God for the revelaâ€" tion of his glory. It is the one great burâ€" den of the chureh‘s petition from Abel to this day. Moses‘ request "Shew me thy Three things you must strive after that the glory of God mray have a continual abiding in this house. How then, you ask, can we secure for our house this glory without which it will grow dark for us and for our children still darker. I knuw that God is sovereign, that he is sometitmes found of them that sought him not, and that he hides himself sometimes from the efforts of his people, but that is not his general way. his own truth from the lhips of a preacher who is himself an unchanged and natural man. By the mouth of an ass God onee spoke rebuking the madness of a prophet. Who can tell whether or not the words of trut'uJ tnat came from the lips even of Judas and Demas were blessed to their hearers? ut we know that on the sin of an unconverted man standing in the shees of an apostle of Christ, there was put the seal of a terrible displeasure, and his services like those of Demas were quickly dispensed with. On the principle that you would not knowingly conâ€" fide a delicate and important a m« tter to one who was at least your enemy in that principle, it is only men who love Christ better than their own interest, their own ease, their owr glory that are fi% to be his ambassadors. â€" It is well that your pastors should be men of education, of the very best education the country can afford, for God has for ever honored human learning, â€"in the person of Moses who was learned in all the learning of the Egyptians and in the person of Paul who was learned in the learning of the Grecks. Our church, 1 trust, will never lower its literary standard | tor candidates for the ministry. Let the ehurch courts look after that : But let the people remember how true it is what a great man onee saidâ€""Unsanetified learn ing has been a great curse to the church." It will be your business to seck t_at the man you may call to this pulpit be a man of piety as well as of parts, a man who ;speaks because he believes, who will seeh your spiritual interests more than his own i temporal profit, who will not fear to offend lyou rather than offend God. How much need there is to tuke an iuterest in our theclogical colleges, to promote their welâ€" | fare anl jpray God for their prosperity. When piety and unction have departed from our pulpits, even though learuing and rhetorie should remain, we may write Ichaâ€" bod on their walls,â€"â€"*"The glory has deâ€" paited." But whenr zen like Bunyan‘s mouel pastor stand to plead with the peoâ€" ple having the Word of God in their Land, the law of love on their lips, the world beâ€" hind their back and heaven in their eye, |then. indeed, have such men filled with unspeakable glory the plases where they spoke whether under the canopy of the leafy forest or the tretted roof of some Gothic Cathedral, in the chapels of royalty, or in the log churches of our backwoods, That God may bestow spon you the blessing of a constant mamfestation of his glory in this place you must strive, as far as in you lies ; That God may bessow on you the blesâ€" sing of manifesting here his glory itis necdâ€" ful that there should be :â€" Thirdlyâ€"Consistent picty in your lives. It is a great mistake to imagine that prayer looked at 2s so many words uttered so many times can carry the day with God. it is not the words however beautiful or earâ€" nest that God looks at. He looks at the heart whense the prayer proceeds, the lips that give it utterance and above all the life that sustains it. "Pray for us" said Paul, "for we have a good conscience in all things willing to live honestly." He expected the prayer to be heard, because a good econscience lay behird to sustain the prayers of his friends. "If I regard iniquity in my heart" says another exâ€" perimental believer,""The Lord will not hear ie es "hL 6. _ yerst‘" §¥BP Bea . ‘C*_, a € eB Cl In conclusion let me urge on you to make this subject a mater of thought, of meditatin, of prayer. With nothing clse ought you t> be content but that God should fill this house with glory, that "before yonr very eyes Jesus Christ may be evidently set forth crucified among you." The sight of this glory. as seen in the face of Sesus Christ would then be "better for you than thousands of gold and of silâ€" ver." Who looks to him with lively faith, Is saved from endloss woos, Listen then, O listen to the blessed inâ€" vitation "Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the cartl:." There is life in a look At the erucified one There is life this moment for thee. Look and live, look and live. In looking at this glory we will learn humiliiy, By nature we are proud and here lies much of our trouble, much of the envy and strfe that disgraces the church of God. But a sight of this glory would lay us in thedust. ‘The patriarch Job carâ€" ried his head high but he got a noar view of God‘s glory, he exclaimed :â€""I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye secth thee and I mabhor myself and repent in dust and ashes." _ A sight of it brought from the mouth of the greatest of the prophets the pathetie ery "Woe‘s mo! for I am a man of unclean lips and dwell among people of unclean lips." _ In corâ€" templating this glory we will grow strong ; strong to face temptation, strong to bear unmoved the angry billows of affliction ; strong to suffer and to hope, and to wait ; strong to live and strong to dio. _ We can do all things through Christ that strongth» eneth us." And after retivriag from worship here, you who came in weakness can say "The Lord stood by me and strongthened The sight of this glory would be life eternal life, for you that ave doad. One look of the bratzen serpent cured the wounded and dvine I«raclites. â€" me." It is not the fervent prayer of the ecovetous, dishonest, slandering, and selfâ€" ish, that avails in the ear of God, but the fervent prayer of the rightcous man. *"Get ‘hae up" said the Lord to Joshna as he lay on the earth praying not only for himâ€" self but for Tsrael who had "een defeated in battle." Alb! there are many puyers arrested on their way to heavon by some "aecursed" thing, by some uncrccifed lust or besetting siz. Dear triends for the sake of the glory without which this house will be desolate give up every thing that may hinder God‘s blessing,. Open your hands and give liberally to his cause : banish strong drivtk from your social gathcrings and your homes, deal honestly i2 your daily business, speak truthfall}, earry in everything a good conscience o that the "Lord may create a clond and a smoke by day and the shining of a fanimg fire by night" in the place of your Sabbath worship. In contemplating this glory we wi‘l become holy which is the highest that can be said. "Beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord we are changed into the sawe image from glory as by the Spirit of the Lord." Aud now in sctting apart for ever this house for the worship of God let us write on it some writing that will always come unto your imemory as you gather hore at God‘s footstool. Over the entrance what shull we write 9 Let us write there so that every worshippor may read in memory as he enters these words "How dreadful is this place ; this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. Iuto this house bring not envy, nor strife. Hore let not fende have any place. When you cross this threshold say to the world "Tarry here while I go and worship youder. "Let this be a holy spot a type and foretaste of Heaven. If you wish to keep the glory in, keep buyers and sellers out, and drive them out if they force their way in,. _ Call the name of this place Bethel the house of God and not Bethaven. On this rightâ€"hand sideâ€"walil what shall we write? Let us write up there "Being justifed by faith we have peace with God." It is nout to works we look for just/fleaiion, mor to sreraments, nor to the chureh, nor to power and feelings but to Claist, and Christ alone approhended by faith, This is the rock on which God Las set the feet of the Relormation churches. Let us stand on tais rock, â€" Butletus Leware of magnifying imith too much. Faith was not erucified for us nor were we baptised in the name lor us nor were we of faith. â€" To make drive us to Autin "What, then shall not under the law Let us write therefore on the opposite wall "Faith without works is dead." Justification and #salvation are identic.l. Salvation is more (han jutification. _ Salâ€" vation inclades santification, and is nct câ€"mplete till we are openly acknowledged and amcquitted in the day of judgement. We are therefore told to **work out our salvation," we are told Christ is the author of salvation "to them that obey hium." â€" Let us therefore magnify works. This is not the time to eory down good works when eccmmercial life is going to wreck for want of them ; when the church is a stumblingâ€"block to many from the loose lives of many of its proâ€" fessors. Let us be careful therefore to mainâ€" tain good works, Over the pulpit let us write "We preach Christ crucified." Let tiat cyer be the eentre of our sermons. Let all our doeâ€" trines and prectice, all our faith and hope revolve around Him and His cross. "Let us have no altar but Calvary ; no priest but Jesus Clhrist." _ Jesus Christ our atonement and our example, Jesus Christ our prophet, priest, and king. Jesus Christ our bread, our wator, our sun our shield, our brother, our guide, our inâ€" tercessor our judge. Ah this is a great negessity in the preaching of our timesâ€"to preach a personal Saviour even the Lord‘s Christ, a divine human person. Me is the Desire of all nations and in his cross there is a mysterious influence that will yot dpew orl ea and «ying Isrrelites, â€"â€" Bo from the Saviour on the Cros baptised in the name too much of faith will »mian loosenees of life. we sin because we are but under grace, God i of
