[0:00] As the Lord shall be pleased to help me, I shall call your attention to a subject you will find in Psalm 107.

[0:14] And the last verse. Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

[0:37] Psalm 107 and the 43rd verse. The great thing to be concerned about, as grace is given, is to be the character the psalmist refers to.

[1:02] Whoso is wise and will observe these things. These things, the psalmist is referring to, are the things of God.

[1:18] Things whereby you and I can look back. If it is our mercy to be heaven bound pilgrims.

[1:32] And see where God has come into our lives. And done things for us. So that sometimes you can even take up the psalmist language.

[1:48] The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. And now the psalmist emphasizes the truth that you and I should be concerned to observe these things.

[2:09] And I want, as the Lord, to help me to look at the subject from that viewpoint. And to work out a line of thought that is in my mind.

[2:21] But it all hinges upon this. Whoso is wise. And now, as man is born, he is not wise.

[2:34] He grows up and thinks he is. But the word of God makes it very plain. If any man will be wise, let him become a fool that he may be wise.

[2:51] And it is a great mercy when at length the eyes of the blind are opened. When a new heart is given, a new spirit is imparted.

[3:04] A new will. And there is with it all a new understanding. And it is that understanding which is enlightened by the Spirit of God.

[3:19] Which enables you to see the why and wherefore of the dealings of God with you. And to sometimes help you to rejoice in hope of life eternal.

[3:31] That you are indeed being led forth by the right way. And that God is your guide.

[3:42] And now the psalmist in the psalm before us enumerates some of these things which need to be observed.

[3:53] And wherein the goodness of God is to be discerned. And he says in another psalm, thy loving kindness is before my eyes.

[4:06] I have thought what a beautiful scripture that is. Thy loving kindness is before my eyes. Dear friends, it is before your eyes.

[4:17] If you are a sinner taught of God. All the day long. All night too. But you do not always observe it. There is a word in Isaiah which is very searching.

[4:31] Seeing many things. But thou observest not. When the great war was on. I did quite a deal of duty.

[4:44] In the Royal Observer Corps. And it was our business to observe the planes flying overhead. And we had to plot their course.

[4:56] And it was not enough to say a plane was passing over. You had to observe whether it was friendly. Or hostile.

[5:09] And you had to know the details of numerous planes. That you might be able to plot their course aright. And give true information to headquarters.

[5:20] And so it is in the things of God. It is not just as everyday life passes before you. It is to observe it.

[5:31] It is to observe it. And see the why and wherefore. The workings out. The goodness of God as it passes before you.

[5:42] Whoso is wise. And will observe these things. And now ere you can be made wise. The starting point is.

[5:54] Ye must be born again. And there is a word in the Hebrews. Which is very helpful. To show you what this really means.

[6:10] As to observing. And the Apostle Paul said to the godly Hebrews. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers.

[6:22] Ye have need that one teach you again. Which be the first principles. Of the oracles of God. And to become such as have need of milk.

[6:34] And not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk. Is unskillful in the word of righteousness. For he is a babe.

[6:44] Do listen. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age. Even those. Who by reason of use.

[6:56] Have their senses. Spiritual senses. Exercised to discern. Both good and evil. By reason of use.

[7:11] It is that which you are occupied in. As you journey through life. To look on like Manoah and his wife. And see the angel of the Lord doing wondrously for you.

[7:24] In providence. And in grace. All to have our senses. Our spiritual senses. Exercised dear friends. This is the great.

[7:37] Essential. In the dealings of God. With us. That you and I may be able to understand. His dealings are right. This and this alone will help us.

[7:50] To exercise wisdom. Which he has given us. Who so is wise. And will observe. Consider.

[8:00] These things. Even they shall understand. The loving kindness. Of. The Lord. And now it is evident.

[8:12] That you need much grace. To do this. And that you and I. Are guilty before God. In as much. As we have not been engaged.

[8:24] In it. As much as we ought. To have been. And could have been. If we had been more. Spiritually. Minded.

[8:35] And alert. To see the dealings of God. With us. Do ponder that in your heart. And now the psalmist says.

[8:47] In the opening words. Oh give thanks unto the Lord. For he is good. For his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord.

[9:00] Say so. Whom he hath redeemed. From the hand of the enemy. And then he says. Oh that men would praise the Lord.

[9:11] For his goodness. And for his wonderful works. To the children. Of men. This was where the children of Israel.

[9:24] So solemnly failed. As they journeyed through the wilderness. And not only so. When they also dwelt in the land of Canaan too.

[9:36] But especially so. In the wilderness. And so you read in the preceding psalm. Then. Their enemies also oppressed them.

[9:50] And they were brought into subjection. Under their hand. Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him. With their counsel.

[10:02] And were brought low. For their iniquity. Nevertheless. He regarded their affliction. When he heard their cry.

[10:13] And he remembered for them his covenant. And repented according to the multitude. Of his mercies.

[10:24] And now you find. In the psalm before us. I look at that first of all. In approaching the subject. The psalmist.

[10:38] Gives us. Four word pictures. One is of the pilgrim. Journeying through the wilderness. To a city of habitation.

[10:50] And the next one. Is a pilgrim too. But he alas. Sits in darkness. And in the shadow of death.

[11:01] Being bound in affliction. And iron. The third one. Is a fool. Designated so.

[11:12] By the spirit of God. Fools. Because of their transgression. And because of their iniquities. Are afflicted. And the fourth one.

[11:24] Is the sailor. Out on the ocean deep. Who sees the works of the Lord. And his wonders. In the deep.

[11:35] But the great thing to observe. Is that in each instance. They were brought to have to do with God. And you find it says.

[11:46] Four times. One for each. Word picture. Then. They cried unto the Lord. In their trouble.

[11:58] And he saved them. Out of their distresses. But when you have time. Do read the psalm down. And see what it was.

[12:08] In each instance. That they were called upon. To observe. Regarding. The dealings. Of God.

[12:19] With them. Ere they got deliverance. At the last. You find. As regards. The pilgrim. First of all. Journeying on.

[12:30] In his wilderness. Way. Hungry and thirsty. Their soul. Fainted. In them. And it was.

[12:40] Their deep need. The aching void. Which the world. Could not fill. And because. In all their. Wanderings. They found. No city.

[12:51] To dwell in. And that is. No settled. Rest in place. And you must. Think that over. As you journey. On through life.

[13:02] However much. You may. Make provision. For this life. And that is. Lawful. To do. But. I do want you. To remember. There is a.

[13:13] Limitation. To it. And that is. You cannot. At any time. Anywhere. Build a city. And settle. Down.

[13:24] In it. Because. If you are. A pilgrim. To Canaan. Bound. You will find. As it was. In the. Psalmist day. So it is.

[13:35] Nowadays. They found. No city. To dwell. In. You may. Line your nest. Well. And make it. Easy. And comfortable.

[13:46] And think. You will settle. Down. In it. But God. May not. The bottom. Out of it. And that. You will have. To observe. Is a blessing.

[13:57] In disguise. If he is pleased. To do it. Or in any case. He will put a thorn. In it. So that you shall. Not be able. To settle. Down.

[14:07] In that. Which this earth. Affords. Because. You and I. If we are. Taught of God. Have to learn. I cannot.

[14:18] Hear. Contented. Live. With all. The dainties. Earth. Can give. And now. The pilgrim. Then. Had that. Truth.

[14:28] To learn. And to. Observe. And it brought him. To have to do. With God. And. He was led forth.

[14:38] By the. Right way. And he felt. Like the word of God. Declares. Concerning. Abraham. He sought a city. Which hath foundations.

[14:49] Whose builder. And maker. And maker. Is. God. Do remember that. And now.

[15:00] The next character. In the word picture. Is set before us. As having passed through. A very painful. Experience. And it is painful.

[15:12] I can assure you. To sit in darkness. This. And in the shadow. Of death. Being bound. In affliction. And iron. But then.

[15:25] There were things. To be learned. There was truth. To be opened up. In their souls. Experience. And you find.

[15:35] The word of God. Says. That they rebelled. Against the words. Of God. God. And you know. Dear friends. You and I. Have done that. Sometimes.

[15:46] You have wished. The word of God. Could be otherwise. Than it is. The word of God. Says. We must. Through much. Tribulation. Enter into.

[15:58] The kingdom. Of God. And deep down. In your heart. You have wished. It could be. Sortened down. A little. That there might not be.

[16:08] So much. Ill and evil. Coming into. Your life. And that you could. Go along. A much more. Easy. Pathway.

[16:19] And experience. An easier. Line of things. In your soul. Preacher. And people alike. Must all plead guilty. Before God.

[16:30] But then. Whoso is wise. And will observe. These things. That they are not. Left to. In a frame of mind. Like that. No. No.

[16:42] They are to. Understand. What the loving kindness. Of the Lord. Is. And. Therefore. He deals with them. And how. The word of God.

[16:53] Tells us. He brought down. Their heart. With labor. They fell down. And there was. None to help.

[17:03] Oh. They came into dire straits. In their soul's experience. And were like Jonah. When he said.

[17:14] Out of the belly of hell. Cried I. What then? Oh. Blessed be God. Do observe.

[17:25] These things. Then. They cried unto the Lord. In their trouble. And he saved them. Out of their distresses.

[17:36] God. You see. This is to be observed. That God. Is approachable. At all times. Everywhere. Whatever your case.

[17:46] Or circumstances. May be. God is. Get at a ball. And if you were taught. Of God. You will be brought. To sorely need him.

[17:59] And feel. Nothing else. Can satisfy. Satisfy. Give me Christ. Or else. I die. And now. In the third picture.

[18:12] The designation. Is one who is a fool. You might not like. That word. Applied to you. But then. It is applicable. I'm not calling you fools.

[18:23] It is just what. The word of God said. About it. That I tell you. And now it says. Fools. Because of their transgressions.

[18:35] And because of their. Iniquities. Are afflicted. And you know. If you go back. Over life's journey. And observe.

[18:46] Some of the dealings. Of God with you. You must admit. What I have told you. So many times. That life is a question. Of sowing.

[18:57] And reaping. He that soweth. To the flesh. Shall of the flesh. Reap corruption. Eh.

[19:07] But he that soweth. To the spirit. Shall of the spirit. Reap life. Everlasting. Joseph Hart. Says in one hymn of his.

[19:18] Oh what a fool. Have I been made. Or rather made myself. The mariners blind part. I've played.

[19:29] That sees. Yet strikes the shell. Sailing. O'er the sea. And seeing the rocks. And sailing right on it.

[19:43] With eyes open. And you and I sometimes. Have played the fool like that. And now. It says.

[19:54] And this is to be observed. Dear friends. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat. They draw near unto the gates of death. Oh they learn one scripture.

[20:06] That is recorded. He that trusteth in his own heart. Is a fool. And you have done that. Hundreds of times. Alas that it should be so.

[20:17] And so have I. And now. This is to be observed. Here you see the loving kindness of the Lord.

[20:28] Then. They cry unto the Lord in their trouble. And he saveth them. Out of their distresses. And how does he do it?

[20:41] He sent his word. And healed them. And delivered them. From their. Destructions.

[20:53] Yes. Oh the loving kindness of the Lord. Though I have him. Off forgot. His loving kindness. Changes not.

[21:06] And now. In the fourth picture. You see the sailor. On the ocean deep. Going down to the sea. First of all. To do business in great waters.

[21:19] But he comes into a time of storm. He commanded. Remember it is God. Who is pleased to do this.

[21:30] He has in it. An underlying purpose. And it flows from his loving kindness. Although the sailor on the ocean deep.

[21:42] Does not realize it. At the first. But it is to be observed later on. For he commandeth. And raiseth. The stormy wind.

[21:52] Which lifteth up the waves thereof. Oh think of when trouble. Like a gloomy cloud. Has gathered thick. And thundered loud. They mount up.

[22:04] To the heaven. They go down again. To the depths. And here is where they get to. Ultimately. Their soul is melted. Because of trouble.

[22:17] They reel to and fro. And stagger like a drunken man. And are at their witch's end. The margin reading is beautiful. And that is what.

[22:29] You must observe. Dear friends. It is where God will bring you and me. If he is pleased to. Fit us. For eternity.

[22:40] To dwell where he is. The margin reading is. All their wisdom. Is swallowed up. And now it just comes to this.

[22:52] Oh Lord. I am oppressed. I am oppressed. Undertake for me. Lord help me. Leave not my soul destitute.

[23:03] Make not my soul bare. As I said earlier on. You and I are brought to have to do with God. God.

[23:13] And God will in his loving kindness. Have to do with us. Then. They cry unto the Lord in their trouble. You might have to cry.

[23:25] Quite a while. But in his time. His way. The Lord will appear. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble.

[23:37] And he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm. So that the waves thereof are still. You and I.

[23:48] I hope have seen that done. Many times along life's way. Oh the storms have raged. And our hearts have been filled.

[24:00] With fears. And faintings. But the Lord in his infinite mercy. His great loving kindness. As stilled the storm.

[24:13] Said peace. Be still. Be still. And he has made a way. Where there seemed to be no way. And the storm has died down.

[24:25] And he has given in our hearts. A sweet. Blessed. Holy. Calm. And that helps you to understand this word.

[24:37] Then are they glad. Because they be quiet. So he bringeth them to their. Desired haven. Godly scholars tell us.

[24:49] Godly scholars tell us. It means in the original. He bringeth them unto the haven. Where they would be. And when you do feel like the psalmist.

[25:03] In what he has to say. In his psalm. Oh that men would praise the Lord. For his goodness. And for his wonderful works.

[25:15] To the children. Of men. Who so is wise. Who so is wise. Who so is wise. You will find as you observe these things.

[25:27] As you go back over life's journey. You will find. If you had not been left to do this or that. Then some things would not have come into your lives.

[25:41] As they did. And it might be. Made havoc. In your life. And then God came into it. To sort it out.

[25:53] And to bring you. Forth. By the right way. In the midst of it all. Things hard. To be. Understood.

[26:05] Thy judgments. Are a great deep. And the hymn writer says. Thy judgments are too deep. For reasons lying to sound.

[26:19] You cannot work these things out. As you try to think them out. From reasons viewpoint. You need your understanding.

[26:31] To be enlightened. By the spirit of God. And then you can. Humble yourself. Under the mighty hand of God. And see the why and wherefore.

[26:43] Of his dealings. And feel in them all. It is the Lord. Let him do what seemeth him good. My favored soul.

[26:55] Shall learn to lay her reason. At thy throne. To weak thy secrets. To discern. I'll trust thee for my guide. Alone.

[27:07] Whoso. Is wise. And will observe. These things. Oh how good it is. And what a theme.

[27:18] It is to be engaged. In observing. Dear friends. Think how great. Think how great. Are the things of God. Oh that our hearts.

[27:30] Could be more often. Humbled. Before God. Meekened. By his grace. And our understandings. Enlightened. That you and I.

[27:42] Could think on these things. More to purpose. And profit. And not be so much. Taken up. With the things of everyday life. Which when all is said and done.

[27:54] Are time things. And are passing. And perish in. And now I would look at the subject. From another viewpoint.

[28:05] Who so is wise. And will observe. These things. And now. It will help you. As you observe.

[28:16] These things. To remember. That God. In his dealings. Does not deal. With all his people alike. You find that set out. In the word of God.

[28:28] You might look in the. Acts of the apostles. Acts of the apostles. And there you see. In the building up. Of the church of Christ. How the dealings of God. Were so.

[28:42] Very. Various. And there. There is quite a multitude. In the variety. Of his dealings.

[28:53] In how poor sinners. Were wrought on. By the spirit of God. And brought into the church. Even. You. As a sinner. Born again.

[29:05] Have in your heart. The details. And you should observe them. Often. And say thank you. To God. As you do. You have.

[29:16] I say. The details. Of how you humbly hope. God. Dealt with you. Made you to differ. From the world. And raised up. Within you. A good hope.

[29:27] Through grace. God. But then you find. As you speak. One to another. That other folks. Taught of God. As you are.

[29:39] In the dealings of God. With them. He did not deal with them. As he dealt with you. And now I do think. That needs to be kept. Much more. In the forefront.

[29:51] Of our thoughts. Because. I have lived a long time. In our denominational life. And I can go back.

[30:02] To. Days. When I believe. Many who were old. And grey headed. I am making no reflections. On our old.

[30:12] And grey headed people. For they are not guilty. But. In my early days. There were old. And grey headed people. Who.

[30:24] Seemed to. Have the. Standard set up. In their minds. That if you had not been called. By grace. Just as they were. There was not much evidence.

[30:35] That you were called. By grace. Oh. But you must observe. These things. And let us go to the. Church of Christ. At Philippi.

[30:45] And what do we see there. We see. Lydia. Whose heart. The Lord. Opened. And it says.

[30:57] She heard us. And the outcome of it was. She was wrought on. By the spirit of God. God. But it gives no details.

[31:08] Of a deep law work. Or anything outstanding. In the dealings of God. With her. In her call. By grace. But the fruits of it.

[31:19] Made it manifest. That the. Root of the matter. Was found within. Because. It is said. And do you listen to it.

[31:31] She attended to the things. Which were spoken. She did observe. These things. And one of these things.

[31:41] It is evident. As the apostle Paul. Preached the gospel. At that time. Was. That she. Was. Baptized. And she followed on.

[31:52] To know the Lord. And the fruits. Were very striking. For she said. To the apostles. If you have judged me. To be faithful. Unto the Lord.

[32:03] Come into my house. And abide there. And now there. In observing. These things. You see. That the calling of Lydia.

[32:14] As I view it. Was very gentle. But when it comes. To the Philippian jailer. As you all know. There was an earthquake.

[32:25] Wrought in the jail. Paul and Silas. Were unjustly. Therein. As prisoners. Their feet. Were fast in the stocks.

[32:36] And their backs. Were sore. With stripes. Unjustly. Laid upon them. And you remember. At midnight. They sang praises. Unto God. And the prisoners.

[32:47] Heard them. And then this earthquake. In the jail. Took place. And the jailer. Awoke. And saw what had happened. And was going to take. One step.

[32:58] Into hell itself. And Paul. Called out. Do thyself. No harm. We're all here. And the jailer.

[33:09] Came. At that very moment. And fell down. Trembling. Before Paul. And Silas. Says. What must I do. To be saved.

[33:21] And they. Taught him. The word of God. And he believed. And he was saved. His redeemed spirit. Is in the realms. Of bliss. And now.

[33:32] Those two. Lydia. As a sister. And the Philippian jailer. As a brother. Were the first two names. On the church roll. At Philippi.

[33:43] And now. You must observe. These things. And take courage. Thereby. That God. Is a sovereign. In how he leads. His people.

[33:54] Into. The truth. Of which he is. The glorious author. Much might be said. From that. Viewpoint. But.

[34:04] You must observe. These things. From this. Viewpoint. You must not. At any time. Set up. Your own. Experience. As to how.

[34:15] Everybody else. Whom God. Is pleased to teach. Must be taught. Likewise. No. No. The evidence.

[34:26] Of being taught. Of God. Is to feel. The unity. Of the spirit. In the bond. Of peace. And I have felt. It to some people.

[34:36] And I have felt. Sure. In my judgment. There were people. Taught. Of God. Who at that time. Had never said a word. To me.

[34:46] About the things. Of God. At all. And that was. How I felt. In my mind. My spirit. Was wrought on. I felt. My spirit.

[34:57] United. To them. As one. Who was following. On. To know. The Lord. Who so is wise. And will observe. These things.

[35:09] When all is said. And done. Love is the golden chain. That binds. The favored souls above. And he is a hair of heaven. Who finds his bosom. Glow.

[35:20] With love. And you may feel that. I believe some of you. Dear young people. Have felt it. You might not have had words.

[35:33] At the time. To confirm you. In feeling it. But you do hope. Your heart. Has been drawn forth. And the things of God.

[35:45] At that time. Have been to you. Precious beyond. Words to describe. And you have felt. Oh. If I could only. Feel that.

[35:56] I possessed. A living interest. In these things. And to have some assurance. That God was indeed. My God.

[36:07] When e'er to call the Savior mine. My soul with ardent wish aspires. Can it be less than power divine. Which animates these strong desires.

[36:20] Who so is wise. And will observe. These things. Even they shall understand. The loving kindness of the Lord.

[36:35] And then there are these things to be observed. Not only how God is pleased to deal. With poor sinners. As he calls them by. His grace.

[36:47] There are his dealings. In providence. And sometimes. They may seem. Hard to be understood. And they are.

[37:00] Sometimes. You feel like. Jacob. All these things. Are against me. But then. Go back to Jacob.

[37:11] And he will illustrate. This truth. For us. Jacob said. All these things. Are against me. And then think of him. When 20 years afterwards.

[37:26] He came out of his tent. And saw the wagons. A caravanserai. Of wagons. Come up from Egypt. With his sons returned.

[37:40] And with the good tidings. That Joseph. Who he had mourned. So long as dead. Was alive. And that he was. Governor of Egypt.

[37:53] And Jacob said. I will go down. And see my child. There I die. And Israel. For that was his name then. Israel.

[38:04] Said. It is enough. But. Yes. And you can depend on this. As he was journeying down. Into Egypt. He went back. Over his life. And he went back.

[38:15] To that time. When they brought. Joseph's coat. All blood stained. And said. Know thou. Is this thy son's coat. Or no. And then he thought.

[38:27] Of the dealings of God. For he was wise. Was Jacob. He was a godly man. Although in some things. He failed very much. As a man. Yet.

[38:38] He was a godly man. He was made wise. Unto salvation. And you can depend on it. He did observe. These things. And he could see.

[38:49] Those things. Which he said. All these things. Are against me. Oh. They had worked out. In the wisdom of God. To be wonderfully. On his behalf.

[39:01] And all to do with him. Though seek his face in vain. And he could understand. What our hymn writer says. Thy ways. O Lord. With wise design.

[39:12] Are framed upon. Thy throne above. And every dark. And bending line. Meets in the center. Of. Thy love. Yes.

[39:23] And you might think. Also about Joseph. Himself. As he observed. These things. Oh. He must have had. Some very sad. Solemn reflections.

[39:35] When first of all. As very young. He was in the pit. He could not understand. The working out of that. And then.

[39:46] As he was sold. As a slave. To go down. Into Egypt. And then. Although God. Appeared on his behalf. And prospered in. Then there came.

[39:56] Another setback. And he was found. In prison. But he was. Guiltless. Of any charge. Preferred against him. And he could not.

[40:07] Understand that. And I read to you. Until the time. That his word. Came. The word of the Lord. Tried him. Until the fulfillment.

[40:18] Of it came. Then. When it did come. He could observe. These things. And now. Think of what. Joseph.

[40:28] Must have felt like. As he went. To rest. On that night. When. He had been. Made governor. Of Egypt. And God.

[40:39] Had helped him. To be. Zathnath. Payoneer. The revealer. Of secrets. To Pharaoh. And he had been. Raised up. To that great height.

[40:50] And he had seen. His dreams fulfilled. In every jot. And tittle. I guess he never slept. That night. He was.

[41:02] Occupied. In observing. These things. And I have no doubt. He tried to tune his heart. On this. Keynote.

[41:12] Oh. That men. Would give. Thanks. Unto the Lord. For his. Goodness. And for his. Wonderful works. To the children.

[41:23] Of men. Whoso. Is wise. And will observe. These things. Even they shall understand. The loving kindness.

[41:34] Of the Lord. God. And there is just one other. Witness. As I come to the amen. Whom you can think about. And.

[41:45] He was taught. To observe. These things. And that is. Godly David. Himself. And he was speaking.

[41:56] Out of the abundance. Of the heart. When he recorded. This word. Whoso is wise. And will observe. These things. Even they shall understand.

[42:06] The loving kindness. Of the Lord. But if. Godly David. Had thought upon it. And gone back. To his. Youthful days. What did he say.

[42:17] Then sometimes. I shall one day perish. By the hand of Saul. There is but one step. Betwixt my soul.

[42:28] And death. And so he felt. Because he looked at things. As they appeared to be. Regarding Saul. And yet. He knew in his heart. That Samuel.

[42:39] Had poured. The anointing oil. Upon his head. And that he was. To succeed Saul. As Israel's king. But in the meantime.

[42:49] He was hard. Put to it. And driven. Hither and thither. And he fell a prey. To ifs and buts. And hows. Regarding.

[43:00] How these things. Would be brought about. But then. The time came. When the Lord appeared. On his behalf. And.

[43:12] He did reign on Israel's throne. And he had reigned. Long. When he penned the psalm. Before us. And it says.

[43:22] At the heading of the page. David. David. Encourageth himself. To praise God. And you do it too. As grace is given.

[43:34] You. Ponder these things. In your heart. Seek to remember the way. God. Has led you. Along. Many many years.

[43:45] Some of you. Not so many. For some of you. But do remember. That he has. Put you in the way. Some of you dear. Young people. And you are asking.

[43:57] The way to Zion. With your faces. Thitherward. And you must observe. These things. Because there are. Hundreds of millions.

[44:07] Of people on the earth. This Sabbath morn. Who have no thought of God. Or godliness. Oh they are without God.

[44:17] And without hope. But you are here. Before God. And in your heart. You have a desire. Remember me.

[44:29] Oh Lord. With the favor. That thou bearest. Unto thy people. Oh visit me. With thy salvation.

[44:41] How do you come to feel like that? How do any of us. Who feel like it. Possess the feeling of it. It is just this.

[44:52] Who so is wise. And will observe these things. Even they. Shall understand. The loving kindness.

[45:03] Of the Lord. Do remember. It flows. From the loving kindness. Of the Lord.

[45:14] Oh that you might be able. To think on it. And say. Thank you to God. For it. And translate. Thanksgiving. Into thanks.

[45:27] Living. Amen. Amen. God willing. The pastor will preach.

[45:38] On Thursday evening. The next Lord's day. The age of the people. The people of the chapel. The pastor hopes. The people of the faithful. Hymn number 370.

[45:51] Children. Having them. Learn. 5144. And must it Lord. Be so. And must thy children.

[46:02] Bear such various signs. Of woes. Such cold. That thank you. Fear. Are these the blessings. We expect. Is this the most. And Lord. Let. Three hundred cents.

[46:21] And. How. Say. God. According.

[46:34] Amen. Amen. Amen.
