Excerpt from The Christian Inheritance Set Forth in Sermons
What that Spirit worketh in this world of ours is a theme that is never exhausted. This it is that the Saints have written about, and the preachers continually preach. To-day a part only of that ?cumenical ministration will occupy our thoughts. Let us this morning, as we gaze up to those heavens whither our Lord and Saviour has gone up, sorrowing and rejoicing, rejoicing and sorrowing, as the disciples did upon Mount Olivet, fix our thought on the deep and moving truth, that although He is out of sight, sitting at the right hand of His Father in that Father's kingdom, yet we have, during all our pilgrimage, the sweetness and the guidance of His voice. If Revelation be a fact, is it not a greater fact than any law of nature or any event of history? If the Lord speaks, and if man can hear, then let other sounds be silent, and other voices be unregarded. For the Lord is the Creator, our Father, and our only End, for all the eternal years of our mysterious destiny.
Man, left to himself, has never doubted that he could hear the voice of God. The universal race of human beings, taking all the earth and all the centuries, has always listened for God. It is only philosophers who have refined and denied.
