SERMON FOR
STAY-AT-HOMES
Delivered by Rev. J. Bunting
Johnson at the Congre
gational Church
Tin- service was .-pencd l>>
singing I Ins do^ology Sunday
morning. The pastor thou offer
ed I In.' invocalion: "Let the
words of my nioulli, and (he med
itation of my heart, be acceptable
in thy sight, () Lord, my strength,
and my redeemer."
Tin* congregation then sang,
"Come to the Fountain." The les
son was Jleb. xi., after which the
piistor offered the general pray
er followed by hymn "Standing on
the Promise*."
He then announced his text:
lleb. xi \—"Hy faith Moses,
when he was come to years, re
fused to be called the son of Pha
raoh's daughter." This chapter
of Hebrews may bo likened to an
art gallery in which there hangs
tins pictures of the early heroes
of faith. As we pass before each
we note lln? inscription: Abel,
who offered excellent sacrifice to
(.Sod; Knoch, who walked with
Ood; Abraham, who believed (iod
and leaving his own land dwelt in
the wilderness, anil under a
mighty exploit of faith offered his
son and heir to (Sod. However,
we must pass on.
Mem is I ho picturn of our sub
ject, Moses. Study his remark
able personality; what a strong,
intelligent face, splendid physi
que. Certainly a man of noble
birth and exemplary character.
"He who has learned the duty
which he owes 1o friend and coun
try and to pardoned foes." lie
was a legislator, of the highest
standard. He was an historian of
amazing knowledge; a prophet of
great ability and finally a sainf of
unblemished piety. In our lext
we have recorded: First. His tre
mendous sacrifice. Ho refused
Iho honor of royalty and would
not own a royal princess as his
molhor, choosing rather to ac
knowledge tho despised slave
mother who had missed him, and
east in his lot w'th his own suf
fering people. How few would
have so acled; rather, rejoiced in
Ihe distinction of wealth and lux
ury. Not so wifh Moses. Ho was
evidently I rained by a noble
mother, who instilled info his
heart failh in Hod, love for his
people and palriotism of fhe gen
uine order that gloried to 'make
sacraflcc for fhe betterment of
others. O, let us thank Ood for
such mofhors. Most of us own
our piety fo tho teaching and
example of a godly mother.
You mothers riso to your great
opportunity of instructing your
children In early lifo, knowing as
suredly tho principles you instill
in tho young, plastio mind will
by and by sot as conoreto and be
oomo the bedrock of nobility of
character. As with Mo3es, who
wan taken from his mothor in
youth and sent to the colleges of
Egypt, and though he graduated
in the great school of his day,
he never forgot or forsook the
early training of his Hebrew
mother. And when he came to
his majority and could choose for
...mself, he refused to be called
the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
who had found h'm as an infant
in the bullrushes, where he had
been hidden by his mother, and
udopted him and undoubtedly be
cause of his beautiful nature and
obedience grew so attached to
him that she adopted him as her
own son. tfet he sacrificed it all
for his own people. O, how dif
ferent to many boys and girls I
have known, whose humble, hard
working parents denied them
selves to educate and place them
in belter positions in life. Alas,
that these boys and girls, when
they become young gentlemen
and young ladies (pardon the
parody) neglected if not despised
their poor, illiterate parents. I
noticed this with n heart deeply
pained when arranging the claims
of old folks in the distant land
from which I came, to the old
age pension, when young men and
young women in good positions
made every excuse not to eonlri-j
bute to tlx* support nf their aged
parents, hut east them on the {
stale—Shame!
Second. When did Moses take
this step? When lie was come
to years. Not the foolish freak,
of a youth or- the blind step of the
ignorant, but'the act of a man
who had well conside.ed what it
would cost him, and decided that
it was not to be compared to the
call of loyally und duly to his
people, who were being so cruel
ly wronged and enslaved under a
foreign yoke.
Third. Why <1 id he lake such
a step? The. apostle says he did
it by faith. No doubt he had been
well taught by his mother, while
he was under her care; thorough
ly versed in the faith that God
would deliver his suffering peo
ple as he had promised to their
forefathers. No doubt God's
spirit also operated upon his soul
and inspired him to heroism for
his people, as he certainly proved
in after days. (Sod honored him
for his sacrifice and Rave him
greater inll.uence and power than
ever lie could have attained in
the courts of Kgypt. And his
name, which would have been
long forgotten, now lives and ev
er will in the records of God. As
lie who prefigured the C.hrisl, who
in later ages redeemed his peo
ple from greater than Egyptian
bondage--from sin. So down
through I lie years even to this
day lSod honors real sacritlce
made from a sincere desire to
help others.
In concluding let us not forget
thai man's lirst duly is to serve
(Sod and his second to serve his
fellow creatures. Wealth, po
sition and association must be
subservient to dut.v--to (Soil and
man.
