 T EXT: 
 I KiXGS, XIX c, 9 va.— " What doest thou here, Elijah \" 
 
 We Iiavc all (ioubtless heard the words of this text 
 mauy times. It is one of the preacher's favourites, often 
 used bj iiiin .vheii he wislies to reeall any of us to 
 forjrotteii (iyties, or desires to set before us higher aiini«, 
 and new views as to onr responsibilities. But tiiou{,di a 
 well worn text, it is not worn out. And I have a fancy 
 that it may be possible this evening to treat it in a 
 somewhat new way. It is not necessary that we should 
 have done evil, before we can n:et any good out of onr 
 text : nor timt wc should iiave been forgetful, in order to 
 Btiniidate our energies. By nit-ans ol this (juestion, which 
 Almighty 'Jod addressed to the prophet Elijah, the best 
 man may remind himseH that he should continue to livb 
 up to his character. It warns the hasty, the rash, the 
 incautious, to guard against dangers of whicli they mny 
 not be aware ; and it says to every one alike, "Consider 
 your ways and be wise." " Look to your feet." It is so 
 easy to turn to the right hand or to the left from the 
 Straight Line ; to swerve from the Upright, to deviate 
 from the Square or fronj the Level. And therefore, no 
 man on earth need be offended when asked to give an 
 answer to the question " What «Ioest thou here r' Nor 
 think it beyond his duty to assure himself that hia works 
 sre like the good man's whom tiie Psalmist praises by 
 saying, " His work is worthy to be praised and had ni 
 honour, and his righteousness enduieth forever ; his horn 
 •hall be e.xalted «l(h honour." 
 
 There is a little peculiarify abunt our "assembling 
 
of ourselves together" tliis eveinii<r. vvhii-Ii (to my luiiid) 
 jiivtrt additional {'oire to tliifi q'lt'stioii of o ir text. We 
 knokv that tliis is the House of (Jod. And it is aUo tlie 
 iloui- ot Prayer. How forcibly tlHTef.)re the text 
 appeals to each of us. " What doest thou nore V Hero 
 (for instance) is the Preacher. For what purjjo.se does 
 1)0 ^taud on a hij?h place, prominent aujong you ? Here 
 are many ot our Hdual Congregation. ller« are not a few 
 Stranjjers. Here are also those to whom you }^ive at 
 this time a special welcome because they jtiipear amonp; 
 vou tor the hrst time in their character cf "Free and 
 Accepted Masons." H we were to put tin questiim of 
 our te.xtto them, I well know what their s.nswer would 
 |„..__" Our aim is twofold. First, to upho d the lionoiu- 
 and ji'iory of Him who created this Universe and all that 
 is within it. Who, tliongh He " dwelleth not in Temples 
 -made with luuids," and filleth earth and also llleaven with 
 His Presence, yet has sanctioned the use of such 
 liuildings and such Services as these, acc;.'ptin<? the 
 praises offered within their walls. Ami, stcondly, to 
 eneourajie every work ot man which is for the benelit of 
 his brother-n>ar) ; to uphold order, to promote charity ; to 
 slren-rtiien the Bond that there is (or should be.) between 
 man and man, however wide apart in every other matter. 
 If any man love Uod, Fie .will also lovo to put himself in 
 God's Presence. Therefore, these our f<iends are here 
 with us to-nijjht ; a;id we are encouraged by their eomin«r 
 to our little C'hurch on the Hill. Let us t^ay to them, 
 " W'e are glad to see you here, and hope you will continue 
 to prosper HI your undertakings, and one day come among 
 us again." 
 
 Is it necessary to ask any regular Church-goer, 
 " What duest thou here?" I should hope n )t. For not 
 a Sunday passes over our hctds, but we ure told the 
 object with which all are exppctcd to come. Unless we 
 jisteni 
 
 pe 
 
 itly 
 
 Why do [ come to Church'? To "acknowledge and 
 confess my iHanift)ld sins ami wickedness, to the end that 
 I njay obtain forgiveness of the same, by God's iidinite 
 goodness rnd mercy." To " render Him thanks for the 
 
 r 
 
preat Wenefits that 1 linve received flt His linntU ; to »et 
 forth his most vvortliy praise ; to hear His most holj 
 Word ; and to ask tluwe tliiii;;s which are requisite and 
 necesaary, as well for tl»e hody as tl.e soul. ' This is the 
 true answer yoii sliotiUi be able to j-Mve tt) the question of 
 the text, " VVhat (U)est tliou here" ? And t will be well 
 for us each to consider hosv far we fall short of such ;mi 
 ideal. It may be (for we are ail imperlect) that we have 
 
 time to time, who cannot with truth 
 th 
 
 some amoM}4 us from 
 
 {^ive the answer required. Tliere are those who come to 
 ehnichontof curiosUif, to hear what the Preacher will 
 say ; or out of raniti/, to see or be seen ; ov out of 
 «//ejfess, because tiiey iiave nothinj^ to do. To all such, 
 the text applies witii special force. " What docst thou 
 here" ? Don't h>rget that '• the Lord is in this place," 
 e>en thonj^h you knew it nut. Call to mind the 
 astonishment with whicij the patriarch Jacob realized the 
 awtulm'cs of the Divine Presence. '" How Hveadful (he 
 exclaimed; is this place ! This is none otluT but the 
 House (d' CJod, and this is the CJate of Heaven." 
 
 " My brother Masons : In reminding tl e Congrega- 
 tion of the Reverence which iu due to the Sanctuary, I 
 urn sure I have yo-ir approval. I know your Principles, 
 and that you are bound by them • » uphold the Honour 
 of the tjirtat Arclutect of all, an l'.m) the Sole»)nity, the 
 Dignity, the Beauty, and the v)rder of His worship, 
 lint these Principles are not the fashion of our times. 
 The Building which should be the House of God, is in 
 these days treated too much as a Concert Hall or Lecture 
 Room, and not after the ancient pattern given us by the 
 wise King Solomon. Y(M1 will rcmeud)er how great was the 
 zeal of that noble King for God's glory. How he placed 
 Two PiLLAKS of more than common size and beauty, 
 Sentinels (as it were) keepin^'^ guard over the holy House 
 which he had built. How he adorned that House with 
 , a..r>n/>i1 uviiihni uiif) Aittttlpiii of lliiiurA nivKtprious 
 
 Mud hidden from sisiht. Hoa' he ordered every part of 
 the Services with dignified trrangement and harmonious 
 aids to devotion. And you have not forgotten that God 
 accepted the Builder "Him>elf, the House, and the

 f?eneiati().,8 of men : "The Lonl i« i>, His l„)lv TeiMole • 
 let all the earth kee|) silenee betore Iliiu." 
 
 *' I am sure therelure, that I may ask v .11 (in tlie^^e 
 protaiie days) to use your InHaeiiee nii<,ditirv at all times 
 to show disapproval of the levitv «hieli j's the pn-sent 
 ashion, especially ammiir yoi.t.^r people ; and to promote 
 
 by every means in y • power, a smrit ( f Ueverenee 
 
 toward the tliino;s of (i,,.| and Heaven". It is trne ron 
 do not now build Churches, ^et you CHi.not lose the 
 spinrot ancient days, and still remain woiihv of vonr 
 foreialhws in .Masonry. Th'« Symbolism (.f ihe Lod^e 
 and the .Symbolism of the Church are very simih.^- 
 indeed, we may claim for tht'in that they arr purts (like' 
 (he two sides of a coin) of one and (hesame-rand Whole

 wait f.,r better things. 'J7u' C/nuch reveal.- those ihin-r, 
 Jis Diyine tertamties, which no man, nor brdv of uien 
 cjin had lor themselves. The question "What <loesi' 
 thou here?' reminds yon also that yo„ have somethiii<. 
 to liohl last to, and somethin<r more to tin,t. Let Heli-iun 
 be indeed your Teacher of a Symbolism whit^h will .ruide 
 .vou ail your life, until its mysteries are revea ed to y"u in 
 those happy days to come, when thin-s which " now -e 
 know in part, then we shall shall know even as also we 
 are known." 
 
 n , ,.'^';;\^'''"''l'l'^ niay be your infiuenee in directin-r 
 1 nblic Opinion in matters of Relii<ion ! If vou turn the 
 question upon yourself and ask " What can I do here ?"

 \V hie the silly crowd follow evil fashions, profane the 
 Sunday, despise (Jo.l, nejjiect the Bible, absent themselves 
 from labile Worship, or turr, it into mere amusement 
 :>nd astime, yon set a better exiunple. At conshlerable 
 srK-denial you have come ht-re ; you carry in your midst 
 tie Volume of Sacred Law. the e.ubh,,. r.f v,.,... 
 obedience To ea. h and«llo(you I may 8av.;n''the 
 H Olds ot St. James: "Whoso luoketh into the Perfect 
 L;,.v ol Liberty, and continueth therein ; he bein.* not n 
 
 
forgetful hearer, but a door of the wo k ; this man sh.ll. 
 be Idessfd m his deed. 
 
 But, k'fure I conclude, I should like to put hePore 
 .vou a few more thou-hfs. dnmn f.-om our text in a 
 < ifferent wuy. Simple i.s it is, easy to be rea<l by a chil.l. 
 .t IS a grand speeeh, worth/ (,f Hi,,, whose Voice it wn5. 
 U hat doe-st tho„ here. Elijah ? ' It is God'.s call fu man • 
 to evenj man ■ mt to one u)ore than another; but to 
 innn as man hecaa.^e he is ina;i. Man hiniM-lf in a 
 masome symbol. »« represents a n.vstery. He was 
 • n.a.i. in the io,a;reof (iod." Therefore n.an is here on 
 «'"• h, representing/, as far as may be, Hin, whose end.iem 
 ami symbol he is. Of course the finite cannot equal 
 he .nlin.te. No syud.ol can exactly bo the likeness of 
 •hat which It represent,. Hut so f/.-eat has been the 
 con.lescension .,f the .\lnn-hty, that this which I have 
 Mated ,s an actual tact. "What is man, that thou art 
 '''""""' "^, '"'". •"• H'« «'>n of man that thou visitest him^ 
 ll.ou made-st him a little lower than the an-els, thon 
 iN.st crowned him with ghu-y and honor; th.m hast put 
 all thmjrs m s.d)jection under his feet." Ves, indeed 
 there IS no other visible ima^^e of Cod but man; weak' 
 alien, depra ed as he i.s ; Oo<i bear.s with man, and' 
 hlosses hnn, has p.ty upon him and pardons him, camiot 
 cease t., loye iim, and will not cast him off, because 
 (such as he is) he is the masonic symbol of the Huler uf 
 all, Cod 8 Representative on eartli. And this is also the 
 ic-iuson, we may be sure, why. when de.ils, who sinned 
 J»nly once, have never forgiveness, to Man was given the 
 honour o w.nnin.:,^ u.ru.'s salv.ition ; and He was^sent into 
 the world to save it who is both (Jo,l and man ; the true 
 N)n of man ; man as he ou'fht to have been : perfect, just 
 rue. haMour of his brother mun who tinsts in Him' 
 Head of that other great mystery the Church ; the pled-e 
 ^een by fa.th, vyhich supports the dying and enables them' 
 to tnu.Kph m their passage from the seen to the un.s«eM 
 An iiiLs being HO, how ibrcible the question of our text 
 .-.ppears, viewed in such a light. " What doest thou 
 Here./ A man, and therefore bound by every law of 
 C^ud and man to be a man worthy of the name of man • 
 
Mill] to liave t'ontiniml.'.T in niiml tho Psalmi-rt's rcsolro, 
 "I will heh.uo myself 'wisely in a perft-ct v ay. I will' 
 walk within tiiy house with "a perfect heart. Twill take 
 no wickt'il thing in hand. I will not know a wicla-H 
 person." I drm't aoe lii)W a MavSon can fail to perceive 
 the force of all this. But let us heap np proofs that it is 
 so. 
 
 1. Take man ns God has put the Plumb-i 'Nk to him. 
 " God made man nprijjht." The old sphinx mvuie him out 
 to be a very strange creature; walking on f»ur legs In 
 the morning, on two Ht noon, and on three in ihe evening. 
 First a creeping baby, Ih in tipiight, and at iast needing 
 the help of a stick. Hut the intention ot (Jod is that 
 Erect Man shall represent the unerring, unraltering, 
 unfailing God. That is to la; man's chanictcr: uf)riglit, 
 sincere, true. He is not to "worm" liiuis* If into any 
 advantage by creeping or crawling in dirty or fiilse ways; 
 Me should not " stoop" to shameful practices. Since God 
 has set liim upright by nature, lie is bound to keep himself 
 as upright as possible by the help of that " plumb-line" of 
 Scripture which God has given him. 1 kuovv that some 
 may say, " ikcause of the frailty of «)nr nature' we cannot 
 always stand npright." Hat what is the promise ? Is it 
 not " Strength" for every need i U it not '■ He will 
 establish" and makt; Hnn those that trust in Him ? 
 When you hear the (luostion, "What doest (hou here?" 
 Look to your perpendicidar ! A man who is u(»t upright 
 in conduct is no man, but n grovelling worm ; and a 
 Mason without uprightness is a uontradictiou and (one 
 would hope) an impoMsibilitj. 
 
 2. Take man again, as God has Lkvklled him. 
 Mixing in the world, wc tind men of every level. High, 
 low ; rich, poor ; no two exactly alike. Yet, looking 
 upon man, as he is in himself withcmt tha accidents 
 which surround him ; uil are equal ; coming into the 
 world alike, and going out of it alike ijiso, "We 
 brought nothing into this world and we can ci;rry nothing 
 (Hit." What then have wc to be pnmd of? What hast 
 thou that thou didst not receive?" Let tie grandest, 
 the richest, thr wisest look back to that moii.cnt uo loii'^ 
 
aj;<), when he lay a naked new-born babr on the kind Isip 
 of some reiider-heartt'd nurse ; and siibdne hh pride, 
 know himself for what he is. and ri'alizs his trne level, as 
 (Jod created hinj. And in a similar manner, i( he feels 
 inclined to boast of what lie has, let him think how small 
 a thing could destroy his life ; soon lie will have iiothinj,' 
 in the world, be nothinq; in the world but a heapof tlust" 
 a memory which (|uic:vly fades away, l.ct him look at 
 many a <,'riiss-grown grave, many a weather-beaten 
 and defaced monument of ancient days • and consider, 
 that as hi- is.uiuible to dis'jover even the )ie of the man 
 who hes beneath ; so, others will one day enquire about 
 what is left of him when death has taken hin) awav. 
 Masonry understands these things ; and the Church 
 understands them also. These wisely pm. us all on cue 
 level. One Service for rich and p(»or alike, whatever the 
 <iecaeion l)e ; one Entrance foi prince or peasant into 
 the niystiu tirotherliood in either. 
 
 .'J. Once more, (mh] has made man on the Squake. 
 The sijuare consists «if two lines, at ri«<ht angles with 
 each other. And there are but two natural Directions in 
 which to consider man's condition. At Rest, he stands 
 iipiight; in movement, he goes forward. Combine the 
 two, and y.m see the character of man, formed on the 
 square. Can you think of him in life as going backwards, 
 sideways, turning round and round ; any wav but straight 
 f^orward ? Forward throu<.di all the changes of his bcinw; 
 forward in knowledge, in wisdom, (o the goal at whidi 
 he is aiming. Why, all his members, all the instruments 
 of the body are diiectcd forward ! The eyes in front, 
 looking neither sheepishly down, norslily ou one side, nor 
 l)eli,iiid ; but boldly and steadfastly belore l.im. 'tIic 
 hands, formed either to reach out to help or to <Mve. or 
 widely extended to embrace in affection and runport. 
 The feet pointing onward, intended to move in one 
 direction only, »nd tiiat forward. And if this be so, liow 
 appropriate in the character of man, as described by St. 
 Paul, when he is resolved to act thus in accordance with' 
 his true nature. "One thing I do: forgetting those 
 things which are bk'hind, and reaching forth to tho^'e 
 
10 
 
 which are berore, 1 press to^ra,•.^ tl,c mark f.r the nrlie 
 of the high cu!li.,<r of God i„ Christ Jos.h ^

 what a strong appeal .,nr text makes to hi.n o c ..^^ ';
