For the Smyrna TimeS
How God Prenares His Lawals.

The Ancients believed that prosperity
was Gods one way of showing favor. TO
them the idea of Gods justice required
that he should give prosperity to the
righteous and adversely to the wicked. But
history both sacred and secular prove this
TO be incorrect. Jobs three friends held
q long controversy with him, in which they
insisted that his unparalleled calamities
and sufferings proved him the chief of
hypocrits. job as strenuously maintained
his innocence and integrity, and argued
that his providential affiictions were in
tended only for the proof and the improve
ment of his piety, and that when this pur-
pose should be accomplished he would
come forth as gold purified from the
furnace. God, answering out of the
.whirlwind, settled the dispute, deciding in
favor of his servant Job. His three friends
were required to offer sacrifice for their
faults, and Job must pray for their forgive.
ness. Gods ways are not our ways nor His
thoughts our thoughts.
Many a man learns submission when the
Fathers hand rests so heavily upon him
that he cannot rise. Many a feature of
beauty in the soul is brought out in the
darkness of affiiction. 1t wa through
trials, humiliations, and defeatsShat Peter
became such a glorious man. The only
way to break down a mans pride is by
defeats and notifications. The only cure
for selfconfidence is the cure Christ ap-
piled to him. He let him fall into the
mire, and sink into the sea, and let Saten
tumble him up and down."
Frost opens the chestnut bur and the
rich nut rolls out of its prickly envelope.
So sorrows and trials strip off from many
beautiful soul its bury garments. With.
out these painful processes many man
would never reach glory. John in the isle
of Patmos caught glimps of Gods glory
and he saw that which has cheered and
upborne millions of tried, and afflicted
ones for generations. He saw a great
multitude, which no man could number
and he was told that "These are they
which came out of great tribulation. Il
was the rough knocks and painful tumblei
OF his early discipleship that made the
Peter of the Gospels the Peter of the Act
and Epistles. 1t was scourging, imprison
ment, and persecution that made Paul The
brightest jewel of the world. David Learned
his Psalms in the wilderness, when huntet
and chased.
John Bunyan got the " Pilgrims Prog
ress" out of prison walls, and from tn
clanking of chains. Take courage ye trie,
and tempted ones, you are Gods jewel
and He is only polishing you to adorn hi
