Homilist Psalm 104:30 You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth. I. AS A REVELATION OF GOD. 1. The profuseness of His vital energy. 2. His wonderful tastefulness. 3. The calm ease with which He carries on His work. 4. The regularity of His procedure. II. AS THE EMBLEM OF HUMAN LIFE. Both in spring and in human life — 1. There are vast capabilities of improvement. 2. There is remarkable changeability. 3. There are many fallacious promises. 4. There is nothing that can substitute for the present. III. AS A SYMBOL OF MORAL RENOVATION. The new spiritual life is like the spring — 1. In the season from which it has emerged. 2. In the tenacity with which the past seeks to maintain its hold. 3. In that it tends to a perfect future. IV. AS A TYPE OF THE GENERAL RESURRECTION. 1. A resuscitation. 2. A resuscitation from apparently extinct life. 3. A resuscitation against which many antecedent objections might have been raised. (Homilist.)
