A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD'S-DAY, AUGUST 2, 1903.
AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON, ON THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1888.
"Behold, a sower went forth to sow." Matthew 13:3.
THIS was a very important event. I do not say that it was important if you took the individual case, alone-but if you tookthe multitudes of cases in which it was also true, it was overwhelmingly important in the aggregate-"A sower went forth tosow." Yes, Christ thinks it worthwhile to mention that a single sower went forth to sow, that a Christian man went out toaddress a meeting on a village green, or to conduct a Bible class, or to speak anywhere for the Lord! But when you think ofthe hundreds of preachers of the Gospel who go out to sow every Lord's-Day and the myriads of teachers who go to instructthe children in our Sunday schools, it is, surely, in the aggregate, the most important event under Heaven! You may omit,O recording angel, the fact that a warrior went forth to fight-it is far more important that you should record that "a sowerwent forth to sow." You may even forget that a man of science went into his laboratory and made a discovery, for no discoverycan equal in importance the usual processes of farming. Do you hear the song of the harvest home? Do you see the loaded wagonsfollow one another in a long line to the farmer's barn? If so, remember that there would be no harvest home if the sower wentnot forth to sow! As the flail is falling upon the wheat, or the threshing machine is making the grain to leap from amongthe chaff and the miller's wheels are grinding merrily, and the women are kneading the dough, and the bread is set upon thetable and parents and children are fed to the full, do not forget that all this could never happen unless "a sower went forthto sow." On this action hinges the very life of man! Bread, which is the staff of his life, would be broken and taken fromhim-and his life could not continue did not a sower still go forth to sow! This seems to me to prove that the event recordedin our text is of prime importance and deserves to be chronicled there.
And, dear Friends, the spiritual'sowing stands in the same relation to the spiritual world that the natural sowing occupiesin the natural world! It is a most important thing that we should continually go forth to preach the Gospel. It may seem tosome people a small matter that I should occupy this pulpit and I shall not lay any undue importance upon that fact-yet eternitymay not exhaust all that shall result from the preaching of the Gospel here-there may be souls, plucked like brands from theburning, saved with an everlasting salvation, lamps lit by the Holy Spirit that shall shine like stars in the firmament ofGod forever and ever! Who knows, O Teacher, when you labor even among the infants, what the result of your teaching may be?Good corn may grow in very small fields. God may bless your simple words to the babes that listen to them. How know you, Omy unlettered Brother, when you stand up in the cottage meeting to talk to a few poor folk about Christ, what may follow fromthat effort of yours? Life or death, Heaven or Hell, may depend upon the sowing of the Good Seed of the Gospel! It is, itmustbe the most important event that can ever happen, if the Lord goes forth with you when you go forth as the sower wentforth to sow!
Listen to the songs of the angels! See the overflowing brightness and excessive glory of your Heavenly Father's face! He rejoicesbecause souls are born to Christ-but how could there be this joy, in the ordinary course, and speaking after the manner ofmen-without the preaching of the Word? For it still pleases God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe!I shall not, therefore, make any apology for again preaching upon an event which is so important, even though it is recordedin such simple words! "A sower went forth to sow."
I am going to try to answer three questions concerning this answer. First, who was he? Secondly, what did he do? And, thirdly,what was his objective? I. First, WHO WAS HE?
We do not know anything at all about him except that he was a sower. His individuality seems to be swallowed up in his office.We do not know who his father was, or his mother, or his sister, or his brother. All we know is that he was a sower and Ido like to see a man who is so much a minister that he is nothing else but a minister! It does not matter who he is, or whathe has, or what else he can do if he does this one thing. He has lost his identity in his service, though he has also gainedit over again in another way. He has lost his selfhood and has become, once and for all, a sower and nothing but a sower!
Observe, dear Friends, that there are many personal matters which are quite unimportant It is not mentioned here whether hewas a refined sower, or a rustic sower-and it does not matter which he was. So is it with the workers for Christ-God blessesall sorts of men. William Huntington, the coal-heaver, brought many souls to Christ. Some have doubted this, but, in my earlyChristian days, I knew some of the excellent of the earth who were the spiritual children of the coal-heaver. Chalmers stoodat the very opposite pole-a master of cultured gracious speech, a learned, well-trained man-and what multitude Chalmers broughtto Christ! So, whether it was Huntington or Chalmers, does not matter. "A sower went forth to sow." One preacher talks likeRowland Hill, in very plain Saxon with a touch of humor. Another, like Robert Hall, uses a grand style of speech, full ofbrilliant rhetoric and scarcely ever condescending to men of low degree, yet God blessed both of them! What did it matterwhether the speech was of the colloquial or of the oratorical order so long as God blessed it? The man preached the Gospel-exactlyhow he preached it need not be declared. He was a sower, he went forth to sow-and there came a glorious harvest from his sowing!
Now, my dear Brother, you have begun earnestly to speak for Christ, but you are troubled because you cannot speak like Mr.So-and-So. Do not try to speak like Mr. So-and-So! You say, "I heard a man preach, the other night, and when he had done,I thought I could never preach again." Well, it was very naughty on your part to think that. You ought rather to have said,"I will try to preach all the better, now that I have heard one who preaches so much better than I can." Just feel that youhave to sow the Good Seed of the Kingdom and if you have not so big a hand as some sowers have, and cannot sow quite so muchat a time, go and sow with your smaller hands, only mind that you sow the same Seed, for so God will accept what you do! Youare grieved that you do not know so much as some do and that you have not the same amount of learning that they have. Youregret that you have not the poetical faculty of some, or the holy ingenuity of others. Why do you speak about all these things?Our Lord Jesus Christ does not do so-He simply says, "A sower went forth to sow." He does not tell us how he was dressed.He mentions nothing about whether he was a black man, or a white man, or what kind of man he was. He tells us nothing abouthim except that he was a sower. Will you, my dear Friend, try to be nothing but a soul-winner? Never mind about "idiosyncrasies,"or whatever people call them! Go ahead and sow the Good Seed and God bless you in doing so!
Next, notice that as the various personal matters relating to the man are too unimportant to be recorded, his name and hisfame are not written in this Book. Do you want to have your name put to everything that you do? Mind that God does not letyou have your desire and then say to you, "There, you have done that unto yourself, so you can reward yourself for it." Asfar as ever you can, keep your own name out of all the work you do for the Lord! I used to notice, in Paris, that there wasnot a bridge, or a public building, without the letter, "N," somewhere on it. Now, go through all the city and find an, "N,"if you can. Napoleon hoped his fame would live in imperishable marble, but he had written his name in sand, after all, andif any of us shall, in our ministry, think it the all-important matter to make our own name prominent, we are on the wrongtack altogether! When George Whitefield was asked to start a new sect, he said, "I do not condemn my Brother Wesley for whathe has done, but I cannot do the same-let my name perish, but let Christ's name endure forever and ever!" Do not be anxiousfor your name to go down to posterity, but be more concerned to be only remembered by what you have done, as this man is onlyremembered by Christ's testimony that he was a sower.
them. What does our reputation matter, after all? It is nothing but the opinion or the breath of men and that is of littleor no value to the child of God. Serve God faithfully and then leave your name and fame in His keeping. There is a day comingwhen the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father!
We have no record of the name and the fame of this man, yet we do know something about him. We know that he must have been,first of all, an eater, or he never would have been a sower. The Gospel is Seed for the sower and Bread for the eater. Andevery man who really goes out to sow for God, must first have been an eater. There is not a man on the face of the earth whotreads the furrows of the field and sows the seed, but must first have been an eater of bread-and there is not a true servantof God, beneath the cape of Heaven, but has first fed on the Gospel before he has preached it! If there are any who pretendto sow, but who have never, themselves, eaten, God have mercy upon them! What a desecration of the pulpit it is for a manto attempt to preach what he does not, himself, know! What a desecration it is of even a Sunday school class-for an unconvertedyoung man, or young woman to be a teacher of others! I do not think such a thing ought to be allowed. Wherever it has beenpermitted, I charge any who have been trying to teach what they do not, themselves, know, to cry to God to teach them thatthey may not go and pretend to speak in the name of the Lord, to the children, till, first of all, Christ has spoken peaceand pardon to their own hearts and He has been formed in them the hope of Glory! May every worker here put to himself thequestion, "Have I fed upon and enjoyed that good Word which I am professing to teach to others?"
Next, having been an eater, he must also have been a receiver. A sower cannot sow if he has not any seed. It is a mere mockeryto go up and down a field and to pretend to scatter seed out of an empty hand! Is there not a great deal of so-called Christianwork that is just like that? Those who engage in it have not anything to give and, therefore, they can give nothing. You cannotpump out of a man or a woman what is not there-and you cannot preach or teach, in God's way, what is not first in your ownheart! We must receive the Gospel Seed from God before we can sow it! The sower went to his master's granary and receivedso many bushels of wheat. And then he went out and sowed it. I am afraid that some would-be sowers fail in this matter ofbeing receivers. They are in a great hurry to take a class, or to preach here, or there, or somewhere else, but there is nothingin it all. What can there be in your speech but sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal, unless you have received the LivingWord from the Living God and are sent forth by Him to proclaim it to men?
A true sower, also, is a disseminator of the Word of God. No man is a sower unless he scatters the Truth of God. If he doesnot preach Truth, he is not a sower in the true meaning of that term. A man may go whistling up and down the furrows and peoplemay mistake him for a sower, but he is not really one-and if there is not, in what we preach, the real, solid Truth of God'sWord-however prettily we may put our sweet nothings, we have not been serving the Lord. We must really scatter the LivingSeed or else we are not worthy of the title of sower.
We seem to know a little about this sower, now, and we further know that he was one of noble line. What our Lord really saidwas, "THE SOWER went forth to sow," and I think I see Him coming forth out of the ivory palaces from the lone Glory of Hisown eternal Nature, going down to Bethlehem, becoming a Babe, waiting a while till the Seed was ready and then standing bythe Jordan, by the hillside, at Capernaum and Nazareth, and everywhere scattering those great Seeds that have made the wildernessand the solitary place to be glad, and the desert to rejoice and blossom as the rose! See how all Christendom has sprung fromthe sowing of that Man! And our glorious Lord has long been reaping and is still reaping, today, the harvest of the Seed-sowingon the hillsides of Galilee. "The Sower went forth to sow." Are you not glad to be in that noble line? Do you not feel itto be a high honor, even if you are the very least of the sowers, to be one of those who have sowed the Gospel of God?
my eyelids before I will make you any promise that I will be silent." He must sow-he could not help it! Well, now, today,it is imagined by some that the new theology is to put an end to our sowing of the Good Seed of the Kingdom-but will it? Ibelieve that the sowers will still go to every lane and alley of the city and to every hamlet and village of our country,when God wills it, for the Gospel is as everlasting as the God who gave it and, therefore, it cannot die out! And when theythink that they have killed the plant, it will spring up everywhere more vigorous than before.
The sower is not only a man of an honorable line, but he is also a worker, together with God. It is God's design that everyplant should propagate and reproduce its like and especially is it His design that wheat, and other cereals so useful to men,should be continued and multiplied on the face of the earth. Who is to do it? God will see that it is done and, usually, Heemploys men to be His agents. There are some seeds that never can be sown by men, but only by birds. I need not go into thedetails, but it is a fact that no man could make the seed grow if he did sow it-it must be done by a bird. But as to wheat,man must sow that-you cannot go into any part of the world and find a field of wheat unless a man has sown the seed to produceit. You may find fields full of thistles, but wheat must be sown. It is not a wild thing, it must have a man to care for itand God, therefore, links Himself with man in the continuance of wheat on the face of the earth. And he has so arranged thatwhile He could spread the Gospel by His Spirit, without human voices-while He could bring untold myriads to Himself withoutany instrumentality-yet He does not do so and, as means to the end He has in view, He intends you to speak, that He may speakthrough you, and that, in the speaking, the Seed may be scattered, which He shall make to bring forth an abundant harvest!
II. Now, secondly, WHAT DID THIS SOWER DO? He went forth. I am going to dwell upon that fact for a few minutes.
I think this means, first, that he bestirred himself. He said, "It is time that I went forth to sow. I have waited quite longenough for favorable weather, but I remember that Solomon said, 'He that observes the wind shall not sow.' I feel that thesowing time has come for me and I must set about it." Can I look upon some here who have been members of the Church for years,but who have never yet done anything for the Lord? Brother or Sister, if you have been a servant of God for many years andhave never yet really worked for the salvation of souls, I want you now to say to yourself, "Come now, I must really get atthis work." You will be going Home soon and when your Master says to you, "Did you do any sowing for Me?" you will have toreply, "No, Lord, I did plenty of eating. I went to the Tabernacle and I enjoyed the services." "But did you do any sowing?""No, Lord. I did a great deal of hoarding. I laid up a large quantity of the Good Seed." "But did you do any sowing?" He willstill ask-and that will be a terrible question for those who never went forth to sow!
You are very comfortable at home, are you not? In the long winter evenings that are coming on, it will be so pleasant to enjoyyourselves at home for an evening. There, stir the fire and draw the curtain close, and let us sit down and spend a happytime. Yes, but is it not time for you, Mr. Sower, to go forth? The millions of London are perishing! Asylums for the insaneare filling, jails are filling, poverty is abounding and drunkenness is at every street corner! Harlotry is making good menand women to blush! It is time to set about work for the Lord if you are ever to do it! What are some of you doing for God?Oh, that you would begin to take stock of your capacity, or your incapacity and say, "I must get to work for the Master. Iam not to spend my whole life thinking about what I am going to do-I must do the next thing and do it at once, or I may becalled Home-and my day over before I have sown a single handful of wheat."
Next, the sower gave up his privacy. He came out from his solitude and began to sow. This is what I mean. At first, a Christianman very wisely lives indoors. There is a lot of cleaning and scrubbing to be done there. When the bees come out of theircells, they always spend the first few days of their life in the hive cleaning and getting everything tidy. They do not goout to gather honey till they have, first of all, done the housework at home. I wish that all Christian people would get theirhousework done as soon as they can. It needs to be done. I mean acquaintance with experimental matters of indwelling sin andovercoming Grace. But, after that, the sower went forth to sow. He was not content with his own private experience, but hewent forth to sow. There are numbers of people who are miserable because they are always at home. They have cleaned up everythingthere, even to the bottoms of the saucepans outside, but now they do not know what to do-so they begin blacking them overagain and cleaning them once more-always at work upon the little trifles of their own kitchen. Go out, Brother! Go out, Sister!Important as your experience is, it is only important as a platform for real usefulness. Get all right within in order thatyou may get to work without!
The sower, when he went forth to sow, also gave up his occupation of a learner and an enjoyer of the Truth. He was in theBible class for a year or two and he gained a deal of Scriptural knowledge there. He was also a regular hearer of the Word.You could see him regularly sitting in his pew and drinking in the Word. But, after a while, he said to himself, "I have noright to remain in this Bible class-I ought to be in the Sunday school and lead a class myself." Then he said to himself,on a Sabbath evening, "I have been to one service, today, and have been spiritually fed, so I think I ought to go to one ofthe lodging houses in the Mint and speak to the people there, or find some other holy occupation in which I can be doing somegood to others." So he went forth to sow and I want to stir you all up to do this! Perhaps I do not need to say much uponthis matter to my own people here, but there are also many strangers with us. I would like to do with you what Samson didwith the foxes and firebrands. We have far too many professing Christians who are doing next to nothing! If I could send youamong the standing corn of some of the churches, to set them on fire, it would not be a bad Thursday evening's work!
"A sower went forth to sow." Where did he come from? I do not know what house he came from, but I can tell you the place fromwhich he last came. He came out of the granary. He must have been to the granary to get the seed. At least if he did not gothere before he went to sow, he did not have anything that was worth sowing! O my dear Brothers and Sisters, especially myBrothers in the ministry, we must always go to the granary, must we not? Without the diligent and constant study of Scripture,of what use will our preaching be? "I went into the pulpit," said one, "and I preached straight off just what came into mymind and thought nothing of it." "Yes," said another, "and your people thought nothing of it, too." That is sure to be thecase! You teachers who go to your classes quite unprepared and open your Bible and say just what comes first, should rememberthat God does not need your nonsense. "Oh, but," says one, "it is not by human wisdom that souls are saved." No, nor is itby human ignorance! But if you profess to teach, learn. He can never be a teacher who is not first a learner. I am sure thatwhen the sower went forth to sow, the last place he came from was the granary-and mind that you go to the granary, too, dearworker.
I wonder whether this sower did what I recommend every Christian sower to do, namely, to come forth from the place where hehad steeped his seed. One farmer complained that his wheat did not grow and another asked him, "Do you steep your seed?" "No,"he replied, "I never heard of such a thing." The first one said, "I steep mine in prayer and God prospers me." If we alwayssteep our heavenly Seed in prayer, God will prosper us, also. For one solitary man to stand up and preach is poor work, butfor two of us to be here is grand work. You have heard the story of the Welsh preacher who had not arrived when the serviceought to have begun, so his host sent a boy to the room to tell him that it was time to go preach. The boy came hurrying back,and said, "Sir, he is in his room, but I do not think he is coming. There is somebody in there with him. I heard him speakingvery loudly and very earnestly, and I heard him say that if that other person did not come with him, he would not come atall! And the other one never answered him, so I do not think he will come." "Ah," said the host, who understood the case,"he will come and the other One will come with him!" Oh, it is good sowing when the sower goes forth to sow and the Othercomes with him! Then we go forth with steeped Seed, Seed that is sprouting in our hands as we go forth! This does not happennaturally, but it does happen spiritually. It seems to grow while we are handling it, for there is Life in it-and when itis sown, there will be Life in it for our hearers!
Further, this sower went forth into the open field. Wherever there was a field ready for the sowing, there he went. BelovedFriends, we must always try to do good where there is the greatest likelihood of doing good. I do not think that I need togo anywhere else than here, for here are the people to whom I can preach. But if this place were not filled with people, Ishould feel that I had no right to stand here and preach to empty pews. If it is so in your little Chapel-if the people donot come-I do not desire that the Chapel should be burned down, but it might be a very mitigated calamity if you had to turnout into the street to preach, or if you had to go to some hall, or barn, for some people might come and hear you, there,who will never hear you now. You must go forth to sow! You cannot sit at your parlor window and sow wheat-and you cannot standon one little plot of ground and keep on sowing there. If you have done your work in that place, go forth to sow elsewhere!Oh, that the Church of Christ would go forth into heathen lands! Oh, that there might be among Christians a general feelingthat they must go forth to sow! What a vast acreage there still is upon which not a grain of God's Wheat has ever yet fallen!Oh, for a great increase of the missionary spirit! May God send it upon the entire Church until everywhere it shall be said,"Behold, a sower went forth to sow."
There is a, "behold," in my text, which I have saved up till now. "Behold, a sower went forth to sow." He went as far as everhe could to sow the good seed, that his master might have a great harvest from it-let us go and do likewise.
When did this man go forth to sow? Our farming friends begin to sow very soon after harvest. That is the time to sow for Christ.As soon as ever you have won one soul for Him, try and win another, by God's Grace! Say to yourself what the general saidto his troops when some of them came riding up and said, "Sir, we have captured a gun from the enemy." "Then," said he, "goand capture another!" After the reaping, let the sowing follow as speedily as possible. In season, this sower sowed. It isa great thing to observe the proper season for sowing, but it is a greater thing to sow in improper seasons, also, for outof season is sometimes the best season for God's sowers to sow. "Be instant in season and out of season," was Paul's exhortationto Timothy. Oh, for Grace to be always sowing! I have known good men to go about and never to be without tracts to give away,and suitable tracts, too. They seem to have picked them out and God has given them an occasion suitable for the tracts, orif they have not given tracts, they have been ready with a good word, a choice word, a loving word, a tender word. There isa way of getting the Gospel in edgewise when you cannot get it in at the front. Wise sowers sow their seed broadcast, yetI have generally noticed that they never sow against the wind, for that would blow the dust into their eyes-and there is nothinglike sowing with the wind. Whichever way the Holy Spirit seems to be moving and Providence is also moving, scatter your Seedthat the wind may carry it as far as possible and that it may fall where God shall make it grow.
Thus I have told you what the man did-"A sower went forth to sow."
III. I must answer briefly the last of the three questions I mentioned, WHAT WAS THIS SOWER'S OBJECTIVE?
"One thing at a time, and that done well, Is a very good rule, as many can tell" and it is especially so in the service ofGod. Do not try to do 20 things at once-"A sower went forth to sow." His objective was a limited one. He did not go forthto make the seed grow. No, that was beyond his power-he went forth to sow. If we were responsible for the effect of the Gospelupon the hearts of men, we should be in a sorry plight, indeed, but we are only responsible for the sowing of the Good Seed.If you hear the Gospel, dear Friends, and reject it, that is your problem, and not ours. If you are saved by it, give Godthe Glory-but if it proves to be a savor of death unto death to you, yours is the sin, the shame and the sorrow. The preachercannot save souls, so he will not take the responsibility that does not belong to him.
And he did not, at that time, go forth to reap. There are many instances in which the reaper has overtaken the sower and Godhas saved souls on the spot while we have been preaching. Still, what this man went forth to do was to sow. Whether thereis any soul saved or not, our business is to preach the Gospel, the whole Gospel and nothing but the Gos-pel-and we must keepto this one point-preaching Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. That is sowing the Seed. We cannot create the harvest-that willcome in God's own time.
This man's one objective was positively before him and we are to impart the Truth, to make known to men the whole of the Gospel.You are lost, God is gracious, Christ has come to seek and to save that which is lost. Whoever believes in Him shall not perish,but shall have everlasting life. On the Cross He offered the Sacrifice by which sin is put away. Believe in Him and you liveby His death. This sowing, you see, is simply telling out the Truth of God and this is the main thing that we have to do,dear Friends-to keep on telling the same Truth over and over, and over and over again, till we get it into the minds and heartsof men-and they receive it through God's blessing.
If the sower had sat down at the corner of the field and played the harp all day, he would not have done his duty. And if,instead of preaching the simple Gospel, we talk of the high or deep mysteries of God, we shall not have done our duty.
The sower's one business is to sow, so, stick to your sowing, Brothers and Sisters. When that is done and your Master callsyou Home, He will find you other work to do for Him in Heaven, but, for the present, this is to be your occupation.
Now, to close, let me remind you that sowing is an act of faith. If a man had not great faith in God, he would not take thelittle seed he has and go and bury it. His good wife might say to him, "John, we shall need that wheat for the children, sodon't you go and throw it out where the birds may eat it, or the worms destroy it." And you must preach the Gospel and youmust teach the Gospel as an act of faith. You must believe that God will bless it. If not, you are not likely to get a blessingupon it. If it is done merely as a natural act, or a hopeful act, that will not be enough-it must be done as an act of confidencein the living God. He bids you speak the Word and makes you His lips for the time-and He says that His Word shall not returnto Him void, but that it shall prosper in the thing where He has sent it.
This sowing was also an act of energy. The word, sower, is meant to describe an energetic man. He was, as we say, "all there."So, when we teach Christ, we must teach Him with all our might, throwing our very soul into our teaching. O Brothers, neverlet the Gospel hang on our lips like icicles! Let it rather be like burning lava from the mouth of a volcano! Let us be allon fire with the Divine Truth that is within our hearts, sowing it with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.
This sowing was also an act of concentrated energy. The sower "went forth TO SOW." He went forth, not with two aims or objectives,but with this one-not dividing his life into a multitude of channels, but making all run in one strong, deep current alongthis one riverbed.
Now I have done when I invite my Brothers and Sisters here to go forth from this Tabernacle to sow. You will go down thosefront steps, or you will go out at the back doors and scatter all over London. I know not how far you may be going, but letit be written of you tonight, "The sowers went forth to sow"-they went forth from the Tabernacle with one resolve that, bythe power of the living Spirit of God, they who are redeemed with the precious blood of Jesus would make known His Gospelto the sons of men, sowing that Good Seed in every place wherever they have the opportunity, trusting in God to make the Seedincrease and multiply! Ah, but do not forget to do it even within these walls, for there are some here whom you may neverbe able to get at again. So, if you can speak to your neighbor in the pew, say a good word for Christ! If you will begin tobe sowers, nothing is better than to begin at once. Throw a handful before you get outside the door-who knows whether thatfirst handful shall not be more successful than all you have sown, or shall sow, in later days?
As for you dear Souls who have never received the Living Seed, oh, that you would receive it at once! May God, the Holy Spirit,make you to be like well-prepared ground that opens a thousand mouths to take in the Seed and then encloses the Seed withinitself and makes it fructify! May God bless you. May He never leave you barren or unfruitful, but may you grow a great harvestto His Glory, for Christ's sake! Amen.
EXPOSITION BY C. H. SPURGEON: PSALM106.
This is one of the "Songs of Degrees." They are supposed to have been sung as the pilgrim caravan was going up to the Templeat Jerusalem. Every time they halted and pitched their tents, they sang a Psalm. If carefully read, it will be found thatthese Psalms exhibit a real advance in experience. For instance, the keynote of the 125th is stability, while that of the126th is joy, and especially joyful hope. Each one appears to advance a stage higher than the one that precedes it.
Verse 1. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like they that dream. ' 'It seemed too good to be true.We were in a delirium ofjoy. 'We were like they that dream.' Our slumber had been profound-we thought that God had altogetherforgotten us-but when we found that He was coming to our rescue, 'we were like they that dream.'"
2. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.' 'We wanted to express our joy, so laughter came,which is a natural, genuine mode of expressing delight. Our mouth was filled with laughter. We not only laughed, but we laughedagain and again, even as Abraham laughed when a son was promised to him and as Sarah laughed when Isaac was born."
3. The LORD has done great things for us; of which we are glad. I heard a Brother at a Prayer Meeting some time ago, say,"Of which we desire to be glad." That is not what these people said and if the Lord has done great things for you, you areglad, not only do you desire to be glad, but you are so! It is always a pity to try to improve on Holy Scripture, for it doesnot go to be improved upon. When the Lord does great things for His people, they are as glad as they can be, and they cannothelp saying so.
4. Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. The riverbeds, when the Southern torrents have been driedup, seem to be nothing but a gathering of stones and dust. Then comes a copious rain, bringing a sudden flush of water andthe captivity of the stream is gone. That is the meaning of the prayer, "Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streamsin the south."
5. 6. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless comeagain with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Notice that word, "doubtless." If you have any doubt about it in yourown case, may the Lord drive all your doubts away! When God says, "doubtless," we must not be doubtful. "He shall doubtlesscome again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."

text: Last week I shared some of my favorite shots from Nicole and Travis’s wedding day at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, NC. While I love their wedding day photos, I adore their highlight film and I’m so excited to share it with the world! From the exchange of gifts, to the first look, to the love-filled ceremony on the pier, there were so many emotionally-charged, beautiful moments throughout the day. Most of ya’ll know that Will stays holed-up in our office for several days when he puts these videos together before the big reveal. There’s almost always happy tears on my end when I see the finished product. Nicole and Travis’s film was certainly no exception. I definitely shed some tears of joy as I watched their video for the first time. I just loved reliving the best moments again. We hope you’ll enjoy is as much as we did filming and putting it together!

Award of Garden Merit. This is given by the RHS to species which have performed outstandingly well in their trials.
This refers to a variety that has been recommended by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany.
There are several seed varieties which have F1 after the name of the plant. This refers to the fact that the plant is a hybrid produced by crossing two carefully selected parents of the same species that have been developed through a process of self-fertilisation or “inbreeding” over a number of generations. F1 varieties are normally both more uniform and vigorous than normal open-pollinated varieties. Seeds saved from these plants will not replicate the uniformity of the first sowing. Due to the more complex breeding involved, F1 seeds are more expensive.
When an F1 hybrid self-fertilises or is crossed with another F1 hybrid, the result is referred to as an F2. F2 varieties retain some, though by no means all, of the vigour and uniformity of the F1 parent(s). These hybrids often have other desirable features and are generally cheaper than the F1.
An annual is a plant that completes its full lifecycle, from germination, through flowering and seed production to death within one growing season. This type of plant can only be grown from seed.
A biennial is a plant that completes its full lifecycle in two years, flowering and dying in its second season.
A perennial plant is capable of living for a minimum of three seasons. All herbaceous plants, trees, shrubs and bulbs are perennials.
Hardy plants can tolerate outdoor conditions at all times of the year without the need for protection.
These types of plants will tolerate ordinary garden conditions in the warmer months but are not able to survive frosts.
Tender plants cannot tolerate cold conditions. They originate from tropical or sub-tropical areas and like warmth at all times and will not survive if the temperatures drop below 5ºc. As a result, they are only suited to indoor cultivation except in the warmest summer months.

Malaria is the leading cause of death in Uganda. Soft Power Health aims to address this problem through malaria education and prevention programs, family planning outreach and an emphasis on maternal and child health.
This innovation uses a combination of education, family planning outreach and health clinics to achieve their goals.
The treatment options and how to avoid developing drug resistance.
Each education program also includes a question and answer session, after which long lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets are sold to community members at a subsidized cost, making them affordable to all. The scheme perform follow-up home visits within six months to evaluate the proper use of net, history of malaria since purchase, and knowledge retention. SPH trains other local NGOs and organizations in its Malaria Education and Outreach Program model.
Nutrition In addition, the family planning teams offer safe, biannual de-worming pills to children 2 years and older. These outreach programs provide education and methods of family planning for everyone who is interested.
Allan Stone Community Health Clinic: Using two exam rooms, a lab and a dispensary, Doctors and Nurses give care to isolated communities along the Upper Nile. Staff see upwards of 50 people a day and malaria is the number one disease treated. Through an MCH wellness center polio, BCG, MMR, and DPT vaccinations are offered. Solar power and water collection allows clinic to operate independently of local power supply, and bio-digester toilets have been installed that convert waste into by-products usable as additional fuel. A recently acquired solar powered refrigerator has ample storage space for all vaccines and medicines requiring refrigeration.
Nutrition Program: In 2008, SPH partnered with Development in Gardening who helped us establish an organically grown, wide variety, sustainable garden in front of the health clinic.
Mother and Child Wellness Center: The center opened its doors on February 23, 2011 in response to community need for a center offering comprehensive family planning services, treatment of malnutrition, and vaccinations. The forms of contraception available include those offered through our Family Planning Education and Outreach Program, plus additional methods such as IUDs and long term implants which require a clinical setting for implementation.
To date SPH has sold over 55,000 mosquito nets and this number is continually growing; as each net serves an average of 3 people, a total of more than 150,000 Ugandans have benefited from the malaria program.
Family Planning has reached over 60 villages in Jinja, Kamuli, Iganga and Kayunga districts and they have administered over 1000 treatments of longer term family planning in the field.

Schools all over the country are trying to figure out how to improve outcomes in the classroom. So, what does that have to do with the weather? When it is too cold or wet outside, many schools cancel outdoor recess. And when kids are cooped up in a classroom all day without the chance to let off some steam, that can affect their ability to learn.
Most education experts don't spend a lot of time thinking about recess, but it is an invaluable tool that can help schools bring the best out of their students. Studies show that what happens on the playground clearly impacts what happens in the classroom. When students have a healthy recess, they behave better and are more focused in class.
Recess is especially important for schools that serve low-income students because it offers a way to address their social and emotional development. A recent study conducted in California and published in the Journal of School Health last summer revealed that the emotional well-being of low-income fifth graders had significantly declined over the last eight years. Incidentally, that same study showed that a high quality recess could help reverse that trend.
"School-based playtime not only improves the physical health of students, but leads to stronger emotional resiliency," explains Dr. Kristine Madsen, the University of California, San Francisco researcher who led the study. "After physical activity, kids show greater concentration in class."
Schools are often hamstrung in their ability to address whether their students get a good breakfast or have a stable home life or even have a safe place to play outside. But if schools want to succeed in teaching those same students, they must expand their focus beyond simply the academics. They have to find ways to be a positive influence on overall development, including the social, emotional and physical development, of their students. And a safe, healthy and fun recess is one of those easy things that every school should be able provide, rain or shine.
Which gets us back to the weather. What are schools to do when winter weather makes an outdoor recess too challenging or even unsafe? Here are five easy tips any school can use.
Adopt a healthy policy for recess in inclement weather. Each school has its own challenges. Rain may make playgrounds too slick or too muddy. Students may not come to school with adequate gear. Air quality may be an issue, especially for children with asthma. Cold or rainy days can still be great for outdoor play, but students may need to avoid the grass or slick spots on the playground. By being aware of your school's unique challenges and creating a plan, your school can plan for a safe and healthy recess.
Dress for outdoor play. Layers, boots, a hat, mitten, a jacket, even waterproof pants can make winter play more fun. As the old Norwegian saying goes, there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. Send a note home to parents with tips on how students should dress for outdoor recess. (Remind staff to dress for recess too.) Some schools may need a stash of extra jackets, mittens, hats and boots for students who forget. Hold a clothing drive asking parents to bring coats that their kids have outgrown.
Bring active play indoors. By using spaces creatively, students can get the break they need and some physical activity in an auditorium, empty hallway, or even the classroom. Arrange a schedule that allows classes to take turns using larger spaces for active play when recess is indoors.
Integrate movement into lessons and transition. Sitting down and being inside all day can be hard for anyone; and it's especially true for kids. Allow students to stand while they work. Or when the class is getting fidgety, have everyone get up to do jumping jacks. Hold a two minute dance party. Play a quick game of Simon Says. Ask your coworkers for their ideas. Peter DeWitt shared ideas just the other month. Some of our favorites are Dance Freeze, Four Corners and Bridge Ball. Find the rules to these and more on our website.
Balance low-key, social/academic games with high energy, active games. Kids love pulling out puzzles and board games. This time allows kids a break from regular classwork and an opportunity to talk with friends. Ask parents to donate games to help make recess a success. Still, keep in mind that everyone can use even a short break for physical activity during those rainy or cold days. Balance some of the active games from above with breaks for kids to check out.

The grounds around Nick Chopper's new house were laid out in pretty flower-beds, with fountains of crystal water and statues of tin representing the Emperor's personal friends. Dorothy was astonished and delighted to find a tin statue of herself standing on a tin pedestal at a bend in the avenue leading up to the entrance. It was life-size and showed her in her sunbonnet with her basket on her arm, just as she had first appeared in the Land of Oz.
"Oh, Toto--you're there too!" she exclaimed; and sure enough there was the tin figure of Toto lying at the tin Dorothy's feet.
Also, Dorothy saw figures of the Scarecrow, and the Wizard, and Ozma, and of many others, including Tik-tok. They reached the grand tin entrance to the tin castle, and the Tin Woodman himself came running out of the door to embrace little Dorothy and give her a glad welcome. He welcomed her friends as well, and the Rainbow's Daughter he declared to be the loveliest vision his tin eyes had ever beheld. He patted Button-Bright's curly head tenderly, for he was fond of children, and turned to the shaggy man and shook both his hands at the same time.
Nick Chopper, the Emperor of the Winkies, who was also known throughout the Land of Oz as the Tin Woodman, was certainly a remarkable person. He was neatly made, all of tin, nicely soldered at the joints, and his various limbs were cleverly hinged to his body so that he could use them nearly as well as if they had been common flesh. Once, he told the shaggy man, he had been made all of flesh and bones, as other people are, and then he chopped wood in the forests to earn his living. But the axe slipped so often and cut off parts of him--which he had replaced with tin--that finally there was no flesh left, nothing but tin; so he became a real tin woodman. The wonderful Wizard of Oz had given him an excellent heart to replace his old one, and he didn't at all mind being tin. Every one loved him, he loved every one; and he was therefore as happy as the day was long.
The Emperor was proud of his new tin castle, and showed his visitors through all the rooms. Every bit of the furniture was made of brightly polished tin--the tables, chairs, beds, and all--even the floors and walls were of tin.
"I suppose," said he, "that there are no cleverer tinsmiths in all the world than the Winkies. It would be hard to match this castle in Kansas; wouldn't it, little Dorothy?"
"Very hard," replied the child, gravely.
"It must have cost a lot of money," remarked the shaggy man.
"Good!" cried the shaggy man, greatly pleased to hear this. "I also despise money--a man in Butterfield owes me fifteen cents, and I will not take it from him. The Land of Oz is surely the most favored land in all the world, and its people the happiest. I should like to live here always."
"If you can prove to the Princess Ozma that you are honest and true and worthy of our friendship, you may indeed live here all your days, and be as happy as we are."
"I'll try to prove that," said the shaggy man, earnestly.
"And now," continued the Emperor, "you must all go to your rooms and prepare for dinner, which will presently be served in the grand tin dining-hall. I am sorry, Shaggy Man, that I can not offer you a change of clothing; but I dress only in tin, myself, and I suppose that would not suit you."
"I care little about dress," said the shaggy man, indifferently.
"So I should imagine," replied the Emperor, with true politeness.
They were shown to their rooms and permitted to make such toilets as they could, and soon they assembled again in the grand tin dining-hall, even Toto being present. For the Emperor was fond of Dorothy's little dog, and the girl explained to her friends that in Oz all animals were treated with as much consideration as the people--"if they behave themselves," she added.
Toto behaved himself, and sat in a tin high-chair beside Dorothy and ate his dinner from a tin platter.
Indeed, they all ate from tin dishes, but these were of pretty shapes and brightly polished; Dorothy thought they were just as good as silver.
What pleased Button-Bright most about the dinner was the tin orchestra that played sweet music while the company ate. The players were not tin, being just ordinary Winkies; but the instruments they played upon were all tin--tin trumpets, tin fiddles, tin drums and cymbals and flutes and horns and all. They played so nicely the "Shining Emperor Waltz," composed expressly in honor of the Tin Woodman by Mr. H. M. Wogglebug, T.E., that Polly could not resist dancing to it. After she had tasted a few dewdrops, freshly gathered for her, she danced gracefully to the music while the others finished their repast; and when she whirled until her fleecy draperies of rainbow hues enveloped her like a cloud, the Tin Woodman was so delighted that he clapped his tin hands until the noise of them drowned the sound of the cymbals.
Altogether it was a merry meal, although Polychrome ate little and the host nothing at all.
"I'm sorry the Rainbow's Daughter missed her mist-cakes," said the Tin Woodman to Dorothy; "but by a mistake Miss Polly's mist-cakes were mislaid and not missed until now. I'll try to have some for her breakfast."
They spent the evening telling stories, and the next morning left the splendid tin castle and set out upon the road to the Emerald City. The Tin Woodman went with them, of course, having by this time been so brightly polished that he sparkled like silver. His axe, which he always carried with him, had a steel blade that was tin plated and a handle covered with tin plate beautifully engraved and set with diamonds.
The Winkies assembled before the castle gates and cheered their Emperor as he marched away, and it was easy to see that they all loved him dearly.

Everyone can see the trends in the automotive industry by watching a car commercial. Gone are the days where buyers are excited about power windows and locks. Today, new buyers are excited about Bluetooth sound systems and lane assist technology. But what are some of the trends in Utah’s automotive dealership design we’ve seen at CMA?
One big design trend is to use space around the dealership to make the customer experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. With “customer touch points,” service technicians and salesmen have multiple settings in which they interface with clients. “These types of showrooms are focused on keeping the customer happy,” explains Gerrit Timmerman, lead principal for the automotive team. “They are designed to create a positive experience for the customer, so they keep coming back.” From the comfortable sofa where they can watch their favorite movie while snacking on popcorn to the well-lit and well-appointed showroom, these spaces are designed specifically to feel friendly and inviting. Customer touch points build customer loyalty: making the dealership so appealing that it’s the obvious choice for a service appointment and for the next car purchase.
CMA worked with Ken Garff Honda Salt Lake City to transform their disjointed space into an open visual corridor with a customer theater room as the focal point.
The showroom needs to be state of the art for the big-ticket items, but dealerships can also be very successful with vehicle services. Valuing the service staff with clean locker rooms, bright restrooms, and a beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable automotive shop is a great way to keep morale high and maximize employee retention. “We specified high speed doors at Ken Garff Chevrolet to help maintain a more consistent temperature,” explains Gerrit, “the technicians appreciate the cool air in the summer and heat in the winter.” More emphasis on the shop is great business for mechanics, and by extension, for dealerships.
Skylights at the Porsche Audi service center in Lehi keep the space well-lit and inviting.
Dealers are taking note of market trends as hybrids and electric cars become mainstays on today’s roads. Electronic volt (EV) chargers are appearing at dealerships all over. Dealerships charge electric cars during routine service, a “free” benefit for their client. “How does a dealer keep a customer for life?” says Gerrit, “If they have an EV charger at the dealership, a customer who is out and about may swing by for a charge because that is where they bought the car. It helps engender customer loyalty.” Some dealers are very progressive, doubling the amount of chargers they currently need to anticipate future demand.
Two EV chargers, front and center at Ken Garff Chevrolet in American Fork.
As energy costs go up, dealers are looking for ways to reduce their overhead. Solar panels on dealership roofs are becoming more common. Most dealerships are seeing large, upfront costs as a no-brainer when the long-term savings is so great. LED retrofits help dealers sell more cars, since brighter lights and prominent displays generate better sales.
LED lighting at Ken Garff Volkswagen in Orem provides better illumination and reduced energy costs for the showroom.

The standard size of our hand held wedding candles is 21". Most designs can be done in 18" & 24" as well. Please contact us as those sizes are 'made to order'. View coordinating 32" designs for the church.
When are the Orthodox Wedding Candles Lit?
During the wedding ceremony, a series of petitions and prayers are said by the priest, who asks God to grant the couple a long and peaceful life, respective love and support and happiness in their children. The priest unites the hands of the bride and groom during the prayers signifying their unity into one flesh. A set of candles is lit and held by the couple symbolizing the light of purity of Christ that must be illustrated by their life. (Sometimes a second set of hand held candles is lit and held by the koumbaro and koumbara. This is also the time that the large church candles are lit if they are available).
During the wedding sacrament, the candles are blessed and so they need to be allowed to burn down. Decorations can be taken off and the candles can be left burning in the church candle stands.

Oh here we are with a Christmas gift guide. I’m quite lucky in that the people I buy for at Christmas just tell me what they want specifically, but I do like to get a few little extra presents as it’s nice to have little things to open, don’t you think? Christmas in the Legge household is a pretty small affair as there’s just the three of us on the big day itself meaning we can make our own traditions. Traditions like my sister eating a chocolate orange in 7 minutes whilst still in bed or heading over to Scarbvegas/Scarbados/Scarbs for a beach walk on Christmas morning with our own icecream. FYI, nowhere is open to buy icecream at the beach on Christmas day and every year people stop to ask us where we got ours from – it’s a BYOIC situation.
One of our newer traditions from the last few years is to bin off crackers and have table gifts instead. We each have one of those tubes that you put a bottle of wine in when you’re giving it as a gift and we fill them with small presents for each other. I’ve put together a list of ideas for this type of present but really this guide doubles up as some inspo for stocking fillers or secret santa. Enjoy!
1. Alcohol miniatures. Well, what did you honestly expect from me? I really like the miniatures which Demijohn do as they come in a cute corked bottle with the spirit hand written on it. They do have a full range of gifts including personalised bottles too (if anyone wants to buy me one, I’ll take anything gin) which are gorgeous, but the small ones are perfect for a stocking filler too.
2. Toiletries. I appreciate this could be seen as being a little generic but it’s actually seriously handy as we all end up travelling all over the place at Christmas and have probably forgotten something anyway. I’m a big fan of The Body Shop for miniatures as there’s so much choice in terms of scent (give me anything from the Frosted Berries collection and I’m yours) plus they’re a nice size for a few days away – let’s face it, nobody likes going to stay at someone’s house only to find that they use some weird smelling shower gel.
3. Anything with a star sign on it. Does everyone remember 2016 Lizi who had an absolutely manic obsession with everything with initials on it? Yeah, that’s been replaced by star signs this year. We’re talking mugs, necklaces, basically anything and it’s a little personal touch to show that not only have you had a little look on Facebook to check when their birthday is but then you’ve gone on to Google what star sign it equates too and if that’s not thoughtful, I don’t know what is.
4. A journal. Whilst I love going wild in Paperchase, I know most people already have about a billion notebooks, and a one line a day journal is a more thoughtful gift. I got mine last year and started filling it in from January first (I’m surprised I’ve kept it up this long!) and this one has a page for every day of the year, split into five sections so you can keep the same one for five years.
5. Nail polish. I think it’s a sign that you know someone well if you can choose a nail polish that they’ll love, right? I’m personally a massive fan of blue and green, even over the festive season and my go to is always Barry M – yes, that might make me sound like I’m 15 but the Gelly Hi-Shine polishes are honestly the best I’ve used and they come in at about £3.99.
6. The best book you’ve read that year (as long as you both have similar tastes!). Reading is such therapy to me, so giving the gift of books is fairly sentimental – especially when buying gifts for children as it was such a big part of my own childhood. This year, though I haven’t read as much as I’d have liked, I really enjoyed Wilde Like Me by Louise Pentland, so that would definitely be on my list of books to gift.
So, that’s a small gift, gift guide for this year, what else would you add to it? Do you have any ideas for things I should be buying? Let me know in the comments!

Shark Bytes and Tales: What am I Doing?
Against my better judgment, I'm starting another blog. This one has a specific purpose: to serve as an author blog, and a sort of accountability/credibility "thing."
More and more of my time is being spent writing. Some is creative, some is purely for money, but perhaps after six decades of life, I'm beginning to focus on one activity. Maybe. One can write about anything and still avoid focus, right?
So over the next few days I'll be trying to get this blog set up. Expect posts about writing of all kinds, and shameless promotion of scribblings.
Posts with dates older than this one have been migrated in from other places where they were posted, but which belong here.
