paniop2 There are those here who
have 1t, SO / ON not speaking in the alb
stract, but to the point. You have not
whispered it, perhaps to your most In
innate friend; but you see your home
going away gradually from you, and
unless things change soon it will be en-
tirely destroyed. Your grief was we'll
depicted by woman, presiding at q
woman's meeting in Ohio, when her In
toxicated husband staggered up to the
platform to her overwhelming mortifi-
cation and the disturbance OF the audi
ence, and she pulled protruding bottle
from her husbands pocket and held II
up before the audience and cried out,
"There is the cause of my woel There
are the tears and life-blood Of drunk
ards wife" And then looking up to
heaven she said, "How long, o Lordl
how long?" and then looking down to
the audience, cried, "Do you wonder
feel strongly on this subject? Sisters,
will you help me?" And hundreds OF
voices responded, Eyes, we will help

You stand, some Of you, in such q
tragedy to-day. You can not even ask
him TO stop drinking. 1t makes him
,ross and he tells you TO mind your own
business. Is there any relief in such =
case? Not such as Is found in the rig
marole Of comfort ordinarily given in
such cases. But there 10 . relief that
drops in mama from the throne Of God.
o, lift up your lacerated soul In prayer,
and you will get omnipotent comfort!
do not know in what words the soothing
influence may come, but know that
for especial grief there is especial de-
liverance. 1 give you two or three pass
ages, try them on; take that which best
fits your soul: Whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth." 'sAll things work to-
gether for good to those who love God. Z"
weeping may endure for night,
but Joy cometh In the morning" I
know there are those who, when they
try to comfort people, always bring the
same stale sentiment about the useful
ness Of trial Instead Of bringing up a
new plaster for new wound, and fresh
mama for fresh hunger, they rummago
their haversack to find some crumb Of
old consolation, when from horizon to
horizon the ground is white with the
new-fallen mama Of Gods help not FIVE
minutes old?
But after fourteen thousand six hun
dred consecutive days Of falling mama
Sundays excepted-the mama ceased.
Some of them were glad Of 1t. You
know they had complained to their
leader, and wondered that they had to
eat mama instead Of onions. Now the
fare is changed. Those people in that
army under forty years OF age had never
seen . corn-feld, and now, when they
hear the leaves rustling and see tho
tasssls waving and the billows OF green
flowing over the plain as tho wind
touched them, II must have been q new
and lively sensation. "Cornp cried the
old man, as he opened an ear. "CornI'
cried the children, IS they counted the
grains '''Corni" shouted the vanguard
Of the host as they burst open the
granaries OF the affrighted population,
the granaries that had been left in the
possession OF the victorious 1sraelites.
Then the fire was kindled, and the ears
Of corn were thrust into 1t, and, fresh
and crisp and tender, were devoured Of
the hungry victors, and bread was pre-
pared, and many things that can be
made out Of -four regaled the appetites
that had been sharpened by the long
march. "And the mama ceased on the
morrow altar they had eaten Of the old
corn Of the land"
Blessed be God, we stand in Just such
. field to-day, the luxuriant grain COM
ing above the girdle, the air full Of the
odors Of the ripe old corn OF the gospel
Canaan. "ohlsyou say, the fare is too
plain" Then I remember You will soon
get tired OF fanciful diet While
was In Paris liked for time the rare
and exquisitecookery but soon wished
/ was homo again, and had the plain
fare Of my native land. So IL is fact
that we soon weary OF the sirups and
the custafds and the whipped foam Of
fancifui religionists, and we cry, "Give
us plain bread made out Of the old corn
Of the gospel Canasn." This 10 the only
food that can queil the soul's hunger.
lThere are men here who hardly know
what II the msttsr with them. They
have tried 10 get together fortune and
larger account at tho bank, and 70 get
Investments yielding larger percentages.
They are trying 70 satisfy their soul
With diet Of mortgages and stocks.
