Rejoicing in sorrow.

To rejoice in SORROW seems III one
view to be proof of impaired mentality.
Surely sufferer ought To be sad. But
the apostle. who teaches "to count il
all joy knew the human heart. Faith,
like all other powers, must have eNer-
else to gain strength and skill. A
wounded soldier, with his left hand
writing his first letter after the right
arm was lost, tells us that he took such
delight in the ability to use the left
hand that this first letter was add
dressed To his mother. He thought
that nothing else had ever given him
so much pleasure. 1t was the discOv-
cry of an unused capacity. just so
one may find JOY in the power to be-
lieve in the distressful hours. A cap
tain who, driven 10y storms in the dark
ness, saw with the first light the teeth
of the breakers lying near and wrath
fully foaming, cast anchor and found a
strange Joy when the anchor held the
ship firmly just without the jaws OF
death. SO "A Christian finds JOY when
the anchor of hope holds him in the
days of tempest. SO far it is easy Ia
see. Faith sees farther. The Lords
love Is most precious when our needs
drive us close To his blessed heart.
We know its value-as too often we
know other love-best when it is OuI
only solacc and hope. TO have found
the sweetness of Gods love pays foi
the pain that drove us to seek it. We
know that we are better, and that
makes us happier. We know the love
of God and that converts defeat into
victory and distress into rejoicing

The Friendship Of Women.

Rev. DIR. Thomas Armitage illustrat-
ed a recent sermon on "Friendship''
10y the example of Ruth and Naomi.
The speaker said that by many,-mOst
frequently by woman herSelf,-it is
said that woman is incapable of true
friendship. These statements are to he
taken with considerable grain of salt,
when man speaks of man, or woman of
woman. They do not usually speak
with admiration of their own sect.
The friendship between Ruth and Ma
Omi was us sweet and touching as that
of two spirits; they had borne each
others burdens in sorrow and their
souls had fused III the fires of adverse
ty. The mistake of writers has been
in choosing public examples where all
sorts of interests might intervene to
destroy love but in private life there
were certainly millions of instances of
real friendship. The best kind was
that which did not seek notoriety. A
heroic, gushing friendship is narrow,
such as school girls so often indulge i'll :;
they appear to be able to die for each
other, but when vacation comes, they
part readily and soon forget their grlets.
Do not begin the world expecting too
much from it; render back the friend
ship YOU receive and you will make and
keep that greatest wonder of wonders,
true friendship; such as that between
Ruth and Naomi.

A Degenerate Pulpit.

1t has been evident, from the utter
ance of prominent Unitarians, in Bos-
ton and out of Boston, that they have
deliberately renowned the Bible as
their rule of faith and practice. But it
was not to be expected that the pulpit
would so soon array itself on the side OF
opposition to laws for protection of the
rights of the people to the quiet enjoy
ment of the Christian Sabbath. 1t was
therefore, a surprise as well as pam to
read among the official announcements,
on Saturday morning, the Odd ult., the
following notice for the coming Sab
bath:
CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH, corner
Thirty fourth Street and Park Avenue.
Rev. Robert Collyer, pastor, will
preach. Morning at IL. Subject :
''The Holy Child" Evening at z. In
defence of sabbath breaking"
DIR. Collyer redeemed his promise,
and preached the following day Sin
defence of Sabbath breaking" The
character of his preaching may be in
ferred from the report in the paper OF
Monday morning, headed in this wise :
THE GHOST OF PURITANIsM: a CLER-
GYMAN's ATTACK UPON THE SUNDAY
Laws: THE REV. ROBERT COLLYER
DENOUNCEs THE PRESENT ENACT
MENTs AND DESCRIBES THE SORT OF
SUNDAY He WOULD HAVE.
The Rev. Robert COllyer made IA
vigorous attack on the Sunday laws
last evening in the Church of the Mes
siah, Park avenue and Thirty fourth
street.
DR.. Collyer then made il speech
which was full of misrepresentation of
facts and appeals to vulgar prejudice,
and he boldly declared that the people
are Justified in scorning the Sunday
laws. At the close of his sermon he
announced that the young people of
the Church of the Messiah would give
a performance of patience" in the
church lecture-room on Thursday and
Friday evenings for the benefit of the
Sunday school.
Which was II very fitting common
tary on the sermon. If DR.. Collyer
and his church can stand such preach
ing, the Lords day can New York

"He'H Garry You Through

Ii Is not an uncommon thing for the
people of God to he placed i'll circum-
stances where they are exercised with
doubts and fears with regard to the fu
ture. They have their anxious thought
for the morrow. They can't see how
they are to get along to the end. Their
supplies seem insufficient for the re-
mainder of the journey. Some one
who now reads these lines, it may be,
is in just this condition. Let me then,
stranger though | may be, speak to
you Il word of encouragement.
One thing is certain, and that is, that
You have got along thus far. You
have been helped all the way until
now. You have been III straits. You
have met with hard spots. You have
encountered difficulties, i'll view of
which you felt much us you now do.
Your faith well nigh failed you, and
you were dishcartened. But somehow
you was helped over all and through
all. You was brought ouJ of your dis
tresses into a wealthy place, and you
went on your way rejoicing. And So
will it he, my dear friend, yet again.
And another thing is certain, and
that is, that others, as poor and needy
az yourself, have been carried through.
Your experiences are by no means sin
gular. Thousands and ten thousands
of the people of God have been in
straits as distressing as those which
YOU now experience, who have been
brought out of them, and mercifully
carried through all their remaining pill
grimagc. Thousands and ten thou
-upls III in, h.,
member difficulties by the way as APP
palling as any that now cast their dark
shadows over YOU. But by some kind
hand the difficulties were removed, or
they were helped over them, and the
issue proved better than their fears.
And 50, dear friend, will it prove with
respect to you. Somehow 1.-THE Lord
will provide" and "he will carry You
through"
And one thing more is certain, and
that is, that you have many exceed
ing great and precious promises" on
which You may rely. The word of
God abounds in these. Let me remind
You of few: Il will never leave
thee. nor forSake thee" Trust in the
Lord and do good 81 shalt thou dwell
in the land. and verify thou shalt be
fed" "When thou passest through
the waters | will be with thee, and the
floods they shall not overflow thee"
Call upon me in the day of trouble {;
| will deliver thee. and thou shall glo-
rify me- These. ana the like of them,
are the Promises of God who is
faithful and true, and you may rely
upon them with perfect confidence.
DO it, and it shall ere long be your ex-
perience that he has carried YOU
through. and you shall forever praise
