than all the din and roar of the city
comes the voice Of a SYMPATHETIC God:
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and
he shall sustain thee
There are great many who have
weight OF persecution and abuse upon
them. Sometimes society gets grudge
against man. All his motives are mis-
interpreted and his good deeds are de-
prcciated. With more virtue than some
of the honored and applauded. he runs
only against raillery and sharp criti-
cism. When man begins to go down
he has not only the force OF natural |
gravitation, but hundred hands to |
help him in the fall. Men are perse-
cuted for their virtues and their sue
cesses. Germanicus said hs had just rs
many bitter antagonists as he had
adornments. The character some
times is 80 lustrous that the weak eyes
of envy and jealousy cannot bear to
look at it, 1t was their integrity that
put Joseph in the pit, and Daniel in
the den. and Sharach in the fire. and
sent John the Evangelist to desolate
Patmos, and Calvin to the castle Of per-
secution, and John Huss to the stake,
and Korah after Moses. and Saul after
David. and Herod after Christ. BE
sure il you have anything to do for
church or state. and you attempt 1t
with all your soul, the lightning will
strike you.
The world always has had a cross be-
tween two thieves for the one who
comes 10 save it, High and holy enter
prise has always been followed by
abuse. The most sublime tragedy Of
self-sacritice has come to burlesque.
The graceful gait of virtue is always
followed by grimace and travcsty.
The sweetest strain OF poetry ever writ
! ten has come to ridiculous parody, and
as long as there are virtue and right.
eousness in the world, there will be
something for iniquity to grin at All
along the line of the ages, and in all
llnds, the cry has been: IN OF this man,
but Barabbas. Now Rarabbas was
robber." And what max. .
the prosecutions of life worse,
whom yea have helped, from those to
whom you have loaned money
or have started in business, or whom
YOU rescued in some great crisis. l
think it has been the history Of NIL our
lives-the most acrimonious assault
has come from those whom we have
benefited, whom we have helped and
that makes it all the harder to bear.
A man is in danger Of becoming cyn'
zeal.
A prominent merchant Of New York
said to a member of my family: "My
mother wants her case mentioned "a
Mr.. Talmage." This was the case. He
said: "My mother had Il dreadful alb
scess, from which she had suffered un'
told agonies, and all surgery had beer
exhausted upon her, and worse and
worse she grew until we called in few
Christian friends and proceeded to pray
about it. We commended her case tc
God anu the abscess began Immediately
to be cured. She is entirely well now
and without knife and without any sur
gerry" So that case has come 70 me
and there are Il score Of other cases
coming to our ears from all parts OF thu

, Another burden some have to CARRY I
the burden of bereavement. All! thes'

, we lose our property, by additional in

Then there are many who carry Il
