STRENGTH OUTOF WEAKNESS.
The Precursor OF Spiritual Health and
Nigor.

when I am weak, then am ! strong"
Here is a paradox. 1t is seemingly alb
surd and contradictory, yet it is one of
the most important truths Of Christian
experiences.
1t is not the weakness of sin out OF
which strength is born, nor the weakness
Of feeble nature that succumbs before
obstacles nor the weakness Of Idle pas
siyity which says: Il cannot help TINS
opposing force; therefore, | yield to IT,
not because ! will to do il, but because
/ am obliged" Nor is it the weakness
of vacilIation. the sport of every breath
of popular favor or reproach. but II Is
a weakness which is the precursor OF
health when the soul, after the fever OF
its self-will is spent. rests without
question in the sweet will Of God.
There are many happy Christians Who
as they read Pauis account OF his eX-
perlence on this point, say: How true.
How every word touches a responsive
chord i'm my own experience How often
have I prayed God to remove my trials
and received Paul's answer, until l have
reached al last his divine philosophy
But all Christians are not Of this class
They accept this in theory, but as some
thing far above them, or inc0 np1tibie
with their natural disposition and peculiar
circumstances. They stand amid the
pelting storms Of life unsheltered. There
are others who accept the discipline OF
life in a stoical spirit. They enscr ihe
clouds OF sorrow, and emerge from them
having no more assuring trust In Cod
than before no nearer vision OF HIM. 10
richer, deeper love.
The weakness out of which the soul
rises in strength is the result Of a cor
rect judgment Of ourselves and true
view OF Gods wisdom, tenderness, and
power. See how clearly this comes out
in PauPs experience: And lest | should
be exalted above measure through The
abundance Of the revelations there was
was given to me q thorn In the uesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest
| should be exalted above measure. For
this thing | besOught the Lord thrice that
IL might depart from me. And lie said

for My strength is made perfect In weak
ness. Most gladly. therefore, will rdt 'er
glory in my indrmities, that the power
Of Christ may rest upon me. Theref )rc,
