, TEXTBehoid now, there Is in this citjI man of God. I Samuel 9:16, ? -- '

it is quite significant that the term'man of God" ' occurs about forty

times in the Bi-

ble. In the OldT est a m e n t,

. Moses, Samuel,Elijah, David andmany others, were

- I so designated.; Inthe New Testa-ment the term ap-

plied to the youngv..v.v pastor " Timothy,

and in a letter toTimothy, the "manof God is urgedto, become "thor-oughly furnishedunto' all good

;v,p-"- works. '; .',;.'.-Th- e

man of God must be born ofGod, a partaker of the divine nature,as the Spirit plainly taught throughPeter. y It is at this point that manymake shipwreck of their faith or doc-

trine, not seeing that the new birthis absolutely necessary, and forgetthe teaching of Jesus, that some men

'are . the children of the devil. Thislast thought Is not complimentary toman, nor is the spirit that man mani-fests in the oppression of the weakby the strong, nor thej thorough selfishness manifested in much commer-cial competition, nor hafe, that is Illustrated in the present European

"war.Intercourse With God.

The man of God will have muchIntercourse with God, and this mustnecessarily be mutual. In olden timeGod spoke directly to some who wereknown as men of God, but in thesedays he speaks to us by Jesus Christ,who is only made known to usthrough the Bible. It is inevitable,therefore, that a man of God muststudy the Bible, not as an intellectualstimulus, which it would be, nor to secure the best code of ethics ever of-

fered to man, nor to fortify himselffor doctrinal debate, but in order thatbemayknow God's will. His attitudein taking up such study should bethat of the little Samuel, who isspoken of in the text as the man ofGod, and who said. "Speak, Lord, forthy servant heareth." Man must also8peak'to God, and this is by prayerabout which much error is held, especially that it is a mystical and mysterious exercise that some timid soulsfear to undertake.,' Yet to the manof God it is the most natural thing inthe world. If this mutual intercourseis intimate and frequent, the man willgrow more and more into the likenessof God, just as human beings growmore and more like each other be-

cause of intimate contact.Man of God, God's Man. .

The man of God will be the repre-sentative of God, his champion. , Thisat once involves the necessity of cour-age and a good store of commonsensie. In , these days,, which are cer-tainly not altogether regenerate, Godneeds men in every - walk of life tobe his representatives. In the busi-ness" world he wants men of tenderconscience; iq the political world menwho make no pledges except to him-self; in the social world men andwomen, too, who despise the tricks of:social fcustom;. in the realm of moralsmen, who stand squarely for temper-ance, Sabbath-keepin-g, pure languageand clean life. At this point the manof God must not jforget that he ishuman. he only one to whom theterm

t"God-man-" may be properly ap-

plied was no" less ' a man than God,of whom it was rightly said,! "Behold,the man' One is not necessarily, aman of God, because he withdraws tothe monastery, the cave of the wilder-ness, or takes such a view of . theworld that he positively refuses Inany way to deal with Caesar or therulers that are ordained of God,There is no greater honor awaitingthetrue Christian than to compel theworld to say that he is God's man. Hemay be a busy .farmer, a mechanic,or a day laborer, a railroad president,the head of a great institution, or thepresident of the United States. " , --

; Recognition by the World, t ;;The man of . God should be recog-

nized by others as such, Samuel wasknown to Saul, in what way we do'not know certainly,: as the man ofGod. The man of God must let hislight shine, but this must always bein recognition of the fact that lightnever makes any noise in its shining.In letting: light $ shine there - is morelikelihood that the man attracts oppjsition rather than approbation. Somemen have proved thai they are menof God because they have stood aloneor in small companies, protestingagainst the, evils that they see themajority fostering. -- Jeremiah in Je-rusalem, Daniel . in Babylon, , Paul inAthens, Martin ' Luther in Germany,John Knox in Scotland, and others,were almost alone in their stand forGod, but in the end the cause torwhich they stood triumphed

An electric sign in the city of Chi-cago reads: "Sooner or later you willtrade at: the and then says,Why not; sooner?" Sooner or laterevery man will want to be man ofGod. Why not sooner! . , Na 2i- -
