Sunday morning in University M. f.
church from Revelations vii, 1917: They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat. For the Lamb
which is in the midst OF the throne shall
feed them and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.
There are two books which have be-
become popular which have for their
object the alleviation of suffering OF
mankind. They are Booths Darkest
England and Bellamy's Looking Back
ward. The former is an experiment with
practical application of charity the
latter is hope without a. realization OF
the truth. Both books acknowledge that
these human sufferings may be miti-
gated and present for the future plans
that may do so. This planning for the
future is an acknowledgment that the
present state is imperfect, and we are
always hoping for the future. Without
hope man would perish. Men are always
looking for things that may give hope for
the future. They look at Listorv, but his
tory is but the death roll of nations.
Then have even sought to call up the
spirits OF the dead to try to fathom the
mystery surrounding it. Why not meet
this yearning of the soul by the simple
truths of the Bible? This is wisdom.
God, through the Bible, promises us
freedom from the ills of the present life
in Heaven.
Life is constant fight against death.
The grim destroyer confronts US, ready
to take us at the first chance. Men till
the soil, transport the goods and engage
in other business to keep him off. Ii we
quit eating or drinking we die. How
great is the struggle of man against the
elements. That is why the apostle said:
1.-The whole creation travaieth in pain
until now" Our suffering, though it
seems long, is but for moment COM
pared with the glorious eternity of joy.
Man of himself has no element of i'm
mortality. We depend on God for our
physical necessities; why should we not
trust him for our spiritual life?
This evolution from earthly woes to
Heavens joys is greater than Huxley's
or Darwin's theories.
1t has perpetuity. The stream in the
cafion may give out, dry up, but Gods
supply of grace will last forever.
This life is not our home, and we
make a mistake when we put all our
energies into it., We are too large for
this world; like an orange or pine tree
in conservatory or hot house. Bal
maceda, the Chilean usurper, put all his
energies into this life; he failed in his
aspirations here on earth and there was
no future for him. therefore he suicided.
So with Boulanger.
The hope of future bliss helps us to
1noa lie. IN
senger bears his inconvenience because
the staff of old age.
Young people, life is worth living;
make an earnest, honest fight. The
poet sings:
''Iife is real, life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal"
Many people wonder why great trials
and troubles come to chem, but the
word says that "they came up through
great tribulations," and therefore they
are next to the throne of God. Your
troubles may give you right to place
| next the throne. These promises are as
rock. May our feet be firmly planted
on this rock
The Los Angeles Business College nine

noon last. The score stood Is to Is.
The battery of the Los Angeles, Smith

Woodburys. Flint and Reynolds, the
Woodburys battery, did very poorly,
and when McGraf entered the box, it
was adding worse to bad. Still, it was
an interesting game.
