Fair to Suppose That Truth Lies on the
Side OF tire Prosecuted.
There was a very spirited discussion on
the subject OF persecution in Mrs. Co0per's
Bible-class yesterday. The teacher said {:
Persecution stirs the sod around the roots
of truth and gives it vigorous growth. 1t
can never harm essential truth. The his
tory of all persecution is the history of
efforts to make water run up hill, in
other words, to defeat the laws OF
eternal God. 1t cannot be done. And
just as long as the waters of persecu-
ton surge and roll there will forever be
the ark Of God for the faithful. And when
ever and wherever you see persecution it is
fair 10 suppose that truth lies on the side of
the prosecuted. But persecution does
what the judgment day will dot sep
arates the wheat from the tares." There is
nothing more unreasonable, nothing more in
consistent with the rights Of human nature,
nothing more utterly at variance with the
spirit and precepts of Christ; nothing more
iniQuitous and unjust than persecution. To
be Chrlst-llke is TO be utterly free from the
spirit of persecution. We ought to be very
careful how we condemn any novel and
unique ways OF trying to build up the king
dom OF God. Christianity has right to try
all ways so lt may save some 1t Is some
times charged, added the teacher. that per-
sons join the church to be helped on in their
life-struggle. Suppose they do! 1t Is what
| they did in the apostles time Multtudes
came to Christ and the apostles to be healed
| Of their infirmities. The blessed Lord told
| them: "Ye seek me, not because We saw the
| miracles but because We did eat of the
| loaves and were filed; but he blest them
| Just the same. Our gospel should heal and
bless all. The true gospel attends to the
| bodies as we'll as to the souls of
| men. Christ fed, MS we'll as preached,
| Mrs. Cooper referred TO the speech Of

| these men, ana let them alone; for ii this
| counsel or this work be OF men, it vii come
| to naught; but If it be of God, we cannot
| overthrow it; lest haply we be found even
