Or. for fathers and mothers to say that they are waiting to see their children educated and es tablished? Or, for others that there are enterprises to whose success their presence Is still necessary? Are these contracted carnal things really what we are waiting for? Let us ask God the question, as Da vid did, and he replies: 1. It may be that you are waiting to be saved, for God Is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and live. How he has been pleading with some of yon during the past year! Was there no sermon, no-hymn of Invitation or warn ing, no loss of a friend by death, no providential escape fronT bodily peril or serious Illness, to remind you of your mortality, and plead with you to accept Christ? 2. It may be that you are waiting to bear fruit. By the grace of God you are already saved let us suppose, bat for what purpose are yon saved? Why did he not call you to himself at the moment of your conversion? As a saint, for what are you waiting? "Te have not chosen me," said Christ, "but I have chosen you, and ordained yo that ye shall go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain." (John 16:16.) Is It for this reason you are waiting here? Is the dresser of the vineyard pleading that you be let alone this year also, that If you bear fruit it shall be well, and if not, then after that shalt thou be cut down? The Second Coming of Christ, 8. It may be that you are waiting for his coming. The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, personally and vis ibly, for his saints, has ever been the hope of the true church, and blessed ; Is the man whose heart is animated by It Blessed is he, who like . the mother of Slsera, only with a holler expectation, is looking out of the win dow and crying through the lattice: "Why Is Ma chariot ao Ions In coming? Why tarry the wheel of hla chariot?" Oh, blessed be God, that from bis own word the cheerful announcement Is made "Yet a little while, and ha that shall come, will come, and will not tarry." You have seen the luscious fruit hanging from the bough long after the digging and the pruning have been ended, waiting for the genial sun to put the final bloom upon Us beauty, and beget the sweetness and mellow ness of completed growth. Something like this Is often true In a human Ufa, and may be true In yours. "We all do fade as tbe leaf." but the fading of some Is often Illumined by the gran deur of an autumnal sunset God grant this to be true of you, young and old, rich and poor, first and last May you have a "Happy New Year" in the highest and truest sense. "Happy la the people whose God Is tbe Lord." Ac cept him, serve him, wait for him. It is only as we stand In such relation ship to him that, after employing the psalmist's question, "And now Lord. what watt I rorr- we can equally apply the comfort of that which follow tt. and add, "My hope is In thee." lTphld by hope" a glorious hop.
