THE PULPIT. A Thousand Years in Thy Bight Are But as Yes- terday. Sermon by Prof. Swing at the Fourth Church, The ©ld Testament and the 109th Psalm, Discourse by Dr. Kohler to the Sinai Congregation. Dr. Locke on “Learning Christ. THE DAYS OF GOD. Sermon by Praf, Swing at the Fourth Chureh. Youtordny morning Prof. Swing preached ns follows to an audionce which was oven larger than usual: A thousand years (n thy sight are but as yesterdny wwhion it is pant.—Paalme 9z 4, In ordor that wo may mensure bost tho valuo of lifo, wo must keop in mind the wido oxpando of timo upou which God projects bis plans, All grouping of enrti's affairg into the limita of your own fow yoars horo i childish, Tho oarth- Iy years must bo o smali part of iudividual life, and henco must be a poor background upon which to group the causcs and effocts of action, tho reasons and explanations of conduck. Suech a vorso ns this from tho DPenalmist, that *a thousand yonrs aro with God only as yoatorday when it is past™ ought to awalon man to some conception of the naturo of his own boing, and to some bettor un- dorstanding of his duily moral or intellectual religious work, 17 the Jewish nation and all the enrliest nations took a humbler view of mau's eareer than has been entertained wince the world hos growo larger in its sclence and general thought, it nced not bo wondered at, for not only had thoyno Christ to bo tho direct oxponont of o futuro life, but they had none of there vast sciences which bave i Intor days so expnnded tho timo of tho universo. To tho roligious spirit the vast distances of the stars and tho in- conceivable time-spaces over which their light flies, and in which thoir circlos ara completed, must como with a reflex influence upon the soul's estimato of its own life, for If o sun may throw it light for a million yoars, aud If for millions of yoars tho morning sinys may wing togother, wiy should mmn's highly endowed mind nod heart basten from eradlo to dust ? 11as the Creator no love for this child, and no plnco for him? It is now found that some of the renote aune, whoso rays of light our Intgest mstruments ocan catel, sont forth that ray ot light o million yours ngo, When that beam starled acrows the great abyss, thore was no human race horo, no villago, no city wpon this wide star ; but, whilo thut ray of Ticht was ily- ing, tho Garden of Eden camo and went, na- tions camo and went, Babvlon and Athens camo and went ; mdeed, all the events of our histol periad came to Lnes away wlule the flving ligh was closing up its long journey. The great time-mensuroments of tko univorso should fend onoh thoughtful mind -to fesl.that these threo- #eote yents are only nomo kind of a morning of the soul,—a first breath in its long being ; tho first down, but not the noon nor evening, of its day. But we eball roturn after awhile to this thought. Our chief wish this morning is to To- mind you that tho grent timos of tho Crontor on- ly imply o grrent series_of events, for both His happiness or plory, sud for the huppiness and Lonor of His children. With the Duity such a vast existenco indientes only vast ovents, And these ovents must nocossarily ossume tho form of a progress on which the presout bocomes the cnusoof tho morrow, for any other method would either mako eternity a nionotons or closa a rezkless succession like tho result of chanco, tho throwing of dice, or tho forms nssumed in the kaleidoscopo. In order for man to enjoy his world, 1t must ba ordorly and rationsl, and the futuro must bo such n consequence that man can, if ho chookes, holp produco it or shiapoit to his wish. Tor s own #alie and for man’s sake, God hns ovidontly ordered thut all the ovents of time shall assume the form of n_progress—tho form of n conttnnous chain, in whose last link to-morrow links itrolf, et confess Lhab it would seem necossary thnt tho great divinity of God bo tull of ovents, for it is only the sluggish Hindoo, stupotied by idleness nud sleep, who ean conceivo of God drawing happinoss from ropose. In uges and countries whore the mind hns become nroused into that nction which is ealled olvilization, it is utterly amporsible to holieve in God, oxcopt as Deing tho Supremo Activity. When man, has onco” experienced tho joy nd the houor and spiritual grontness that come from a noble nctivity, whon he looks upon the varied Jifo of the world, his mind wounld bocoma Athcistic if it could not bolieve that God in not a spirit of sloop hut of perpotual life. God in Indeed such a su- prome und nover-rosting aetivity, that Ho nover slumbers orglecps, but is always noured out as it waroall sround Hischildron, tho bosom to which sl muy fly from auy quun and from uny sorrow. Assuming, then, this Divine sctivity, we may the moro roadily sssert that tho endiess ovonts of this God will nsstmo the form of n progress. This assumption of & universal lnw is justified Dy tho fact proclaimed in muny specinl luws, The ucorn passes to leaf, to twig, to bush, to sapling, to Lree, to thoe great monarch of the for- ext. 11l its long life euch year is o progress, onch duy being the canee in pait of the nexe duy, Ity second yoar #o multiplics the leaves that thoy breatho in o double quantity of air 1 behalf of the third your, nud the roots of the secoud yoar so redoublo tho nutriment on hand that {hoy ulgo order un ndvanco of the wholo plant for the next spring-timeo, All that we sec around us in the orgamo form is neting under n law of progrers; henve it doos not eeom hasly if we concludo that all the events coming from the Divive uctivity aro accurring in the form of & progression, the presont being n result of the past and n causo of the future. If, a8 wo all baliovo, mun is an imnge of the Croator we may read in tho buman mind a confirmation of theiden thut God is oxprossing Himsolf m continuons series of ovents, for in such n carcor only does man find lappiness, The worst Lor- ture that cnn Dbefall un edueated mind is to bo imprisoned whoro nothiug but dend walls surround it, Tho ~ brain reols and sinks to insunity ab last undor this de- privation of evenls., 'Ihe prisoner, cut off from tho world, not ablo to watch oven the varying clonds upon the sky, nor the scencs of flold or atrest, will watch a spidor all duy long in the dungeon, or will count the stones in the wall, or the uteps of the sentinel in tho outer conrt. In this agouy which isolution und iunctivily gives to man we may roadily road the conclusion that tho Maker of mun, whose imago i in Ui childraon, id perpotuut notion, aud draws His )my- piness from tho great marshaling of ovents in u'n: Universo and upon the wido expande of otor- nity, ‘fhe viows which wo all inherit from onr fathors, that the world begun 6,000 yems ngo, and that God was netlve over ity production six of our days und than rosted, nre very inadequato, not ouly bacauso they took God nwuy from eter- nty and guve 1lim only to o recent houy, but alko bocauno thoy tuke 11fin away from tho pros- ent and exhinust His cure and presence upon the flrst weok of envtl's history, It s nccossnry that we bronk awny from sucha spusmodio theory, and, pondering upon the wairds that n thousnnd yours ara with God only nsw yestorday, strugglo up toward somo concoplion of this vasb timo und vast Actor uround s, I'he evonts of (od sssuming n progress, and oy suoh rouchivg far out into etornity, theh to- clny becomes & purt of tho thought, and love, and prosonce of God, us truty s was (ho howr when order flrst begen to disontnnglo itrolt from chaon, The idon that God onco uoted should be wholly orowdod ont by the idow that o is now uebing, The world I8 & chnin i which all the Huks mo oquully valuable,becausoe ench onois st insopara- blo pnit, o paet withont which thoro {8 ne value i tho chuin, Henco you stund as much in the prevonce of Cod to-duy ns stood the oarth whon God was planting its Guidon of Edon for the flisy #ouy of men, Any othor view than this scoms to ¢ hicanny Duaily CHICAGO, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1874. 1 mako Providence only an _intormittent force, loaving us at times with s Fathor, and at timos orphaus or Athelsts in fact, Lt alwaya soemad & humanizing of the Infinite Ono to Imagine Him as laving once hold n council with Fllmsnll. and thon and thoro, in o far-off otornity, a8 having pnssed deoroes ro- gerding each coming thing or evont ; s having thore flxed the fato of overy infant for joy or griof; as thoro having woven au iron not-worle of fato Into which coming worlds would fly ns birds into o net, That the Biblo thus sponks of Qod is ovident, but so the Biblo roprononts God a8 having bands aud foot, and as o\rlnfi angry and ()enlouu; honco ¢t {s momotimos dificult to discover whore tho humanizing of God conacs, and tho real Doeity shines forth, Sponk- ing only for mysolf, T think of God a3 not di- vided up into ufiunhu, in _ono of which Io bogan to know what Io would do, and in auothor of which ITo bogan to keop tho promiso passed in otoruity ; but of Ilim as moving along in a glorious presont, carrving His universo upon His bosom as the biue hoavons carry thoir stars, But nofther of theso views can bo ostablished by ronson, beeause God is boyond fonson.

It may be thut the limitations of womory are o divinely appomted Jlothe into which Nuturo buthes the sounl that it may forget its many gricfs, o this na it muy, as to man, the com- forting truth romains that, 18 to God, all na- tional actions and individual actions ure lying upon tho hosom of the smne long day.
