What Is true in my case ts true on larger
Or smaller scale in the history OF every maj
and woman who wants TO serve the Lord
without complaint take the hard knocks
You Will see utter awhile, though you MAJ
nos appreciate Il now. that by the breath q

thu corners OF your mouth, So long draw

content.
For many years poets and essayists have
celebrated the grace and swiitness OF the
Arabian horses. The most wonderful exhi-
bision OF horsemanship that l ever witnessed
vas Just outside the city OF Jerusalan-an
Arabian steed mounted by an Arab. Do you
knew where these Arabian horses got their
fieetness and poetry of motion? Long CEN
turies ago Mohammed, with 80 coo cavalry
on the march, could find for them not a drop
OF water for three days. Coming to the top

the river except Eve, and they, almost dead
with thirst, wheeled into line OF battle.
Nothing IN human bravery AMI sell sacri-

those five Arabian war horses. Those five
splendid steeds Mohsmmed chose Tor his own
use, Gad from those five came that race OF
Arabian horses for ages the glory OF the
equestrian world. And let me say that in

ness against sin and heaven against hell, the
hast war h~ssea ara dssnended from those
wbo. Under pang and self denial and tr0nbTe,
answered the gospel trumpet and wheeled
into line. Out Of great tribulatton, out oi
grsat fires, out of great frosts, they came.
And let me say it will not take long for
God to make up to you in the next world foI
all you have suffered in this. As you enta
