My friends If ever your life through
its abrasiOns and its molestations
should seem to be un beara bic, and
you are tempted to quit IL by your
own behest do not consider yourselves
as worse than others. Christ himself
was tempted 10 cast himself from the
roof Of the temple; but as he re-
sisted SO resist ye. Christ came e
medicine all our wounds In your
trouble prescribe life instead of
death People who have had 10
worse than you will ever have f. have
gone soDRful on their way. Remem-
Der that God keeps the chronology on
your life with as much precision az he
keeps the chronology OF nations, your
death as well as your birth, your
grave as well as your cradle.
Why was it that at mid night, just

tardy and too late. The four hundred
and thirty years were up at u o'clock.
and the destroying angel struck the
blow and Israel was free. And God
knows just the hour when It is time
to lead you up from earthly bondage.
BY his grace make not the worst of
things. but the best of them. ~ you
