20 always saddened and heartbroken.
God will lift your burden. God will
bring your dead to life. God will stanch
the hearts bleeding. l know he will.
Like as a father pities his children, so
the Lord pities you. The pains Of earth
will end. The tomb will burst. The
dead will rise. The morning star trem-
bles on a Frightening sky. The gates Of
the east begin to swing open The day
breaketh.
Luther and MelanchthOn were talking
together gloomily about the prospects
of the church. They could see no hope
of deliverance. After awhile Luther
got up and said to Alelanchthon: Come,
Philip, let us sing the forty sixth psalm
of David: God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the
earth be removed, and though the noun
tains be carried into the midst Of the
sea; though the waters thereof roar and
be troubled; though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof Sc
lah. "
The Death Struggle.
Death to many, nay to all, is strug-
gle and wrestle. We have many
friends that it will be hard to leave. 1
care not how bright our future hope is.
1t is a bitter thing to look upon this
fair world and know that we shall new
er again see its poisoning spring, its
falling fruits, its sparkling streams and
to say farewell to those with whom we
played in childhood or counseled in
manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we
may have to wrestle, but God will not
leave us unblessed. 1t shall not be told
in heaven that a dying soul cried unto
God for help, but was not delivered
The lattice may be turned to keep out
the sun, or a book set to dim the light
Of the midnight taper, or the room
may be filled with the cries Of orphan
age and widowhood, or the church OF
Christ may mourn over our going, but
if Jesus calls all is we'll. The strong
wrestling by the brook will cease; the
hour Of deaths night will pass along
l O'Clock in the morning; o'clock in
the morning; o'clock in the morning.
The day breaketh.
So would have it when l die. 1 am
in no haste to be gone, l have no grudge
against this world. The only fault l have
to find with the world is that it treats
me too well, but when the time comes
to 90 1 trust to be ready, my worldly
affairs all settled. If 1 have wronged
others. want then to be sure Of their
forgiveness. In that last wrestling, my
arm enfeebled with sickness and my
head faint, 1 want Jesus beside me. II
there be hands on this side Of the food
stretched out to hold me back, l want
the heavenly hands stretched out to draw
ne forward. Then, O Jesus, help me on
and help up Unfearing, undoubting,
may step right out into the light and
be able to look back to my kindred and
friends who would detain me here, ex-
claiming: Let me go; let me go. The
day breakcth."

AN AWFUL STRUGGLE
REV. DR.. TALMAGE breaches UPON
LIFE's SPIRITUAL CONFLICTS.

The Fierce Combat with an Unknown Wis
itor That Lasts Until Daybreak-When
Waves of Trouble Almost Overwhelm.
The CRY to God of Dying Soul.
BROOKLYN, April 20. The Tabernacle
was crowded this morning with the usu-
al throng of eager listeners. DR.. Tai
mage preached ON the spiritual conflicts
Of life, taking for his text Genesis xxi,
1926: "And Jacob was left alone, and
there wrestled man with him until
the breaking of the day. And when he
saw that he prevailed not against him
he touched the hollow of his thigh, and
the hollow Of Jacobs thigh was out OF
Joint as he wrestled with him. And he
said. Let me go, for the day breaketh.
And he said, / will not let thee go ex-
cept thou bless me. "
The dust arose from travelling herd
Of cattle and sheep and goats and cam
els. They are the present that Jacob
sends to gain the good will Of his Of
Tended brother. That night Jacob halts
by the brook Jabbok But there Is no
rest for the weary man, no shining lad
der 10 let the angels down into his
dream, but a fierce combat, that lasts
until the morning, with an unknown
visitor. They each try to throw the other.
The unknown visitor, to reveal his superb
or power, by touch wrenches Jacobs
thigh bone from its socket perhaps
manning him for life. As on the morning
sky the clusters of purple cloud begin to
ripen Jacob sees it is an angel with
whom he has been contending, and not
one of his brothers. coadjutors. LET me

Tho Day Breaketh.

/ Again, we may take the idea Of the
text and announce the approach Of the
day dawn. No one was ever more glad
to see the morning than was Jacob after
that night of struggle. 1t is appropriate
for philanthropists and Christians to
cry out with this angel of the text
1.-THE day breaketh." The worlds pros
poets are Frightening. The church OF
Christ is rising up in its strength to go
forth fair as the moon, clear as the sun
and terrible as an army with banners.
Clap your hands, all ye people, the
day breaketh. The bigotries of the earth
are perishing. The time was when we
were told that if we wanted to get to
heaven we must be immersed or sprin-
kled, or we must believe in the perse-
verance Of the saints, or in falling away
from grace, or liturgy, or no liturgy
or they must be Calvinists or Armin-
ians in order to reach heaven. We have
all come to confess now that these are
nonessentials in religion.
During my vacation one summer l
was in Presbyterian audience, and it
was sacramento day, and with grateful
heart 1 received the holy communion.
On the next Sabbath was in Metho-
dist church and sat at love feast. On
the following Sabbath I was in an Epis-
copalian church and knelt at the altar
and received the consecrated bread. /

The we'll known Sophronii Williams will
case was finally settled Saturday and the
proper entries made in court. The will,
which was made just previous to her death,
was disallowed by the conrt, but the city of
Gardner will receive both of the requests
made to it therein viz: 3l0o0to be known
as the Mysick Hopkins fund, the income to
be used for the benefi. of the public library,
aud $1,000 to be known as the Sophronia
Hopkins fund, the income to be used for
thesbcneft of the common. The first will,
made number of years ago, will now
probably be p:obated at once.

Serves Them Right.

A house owner needs a lightning rod.
Instead of calling on permanently To-
Gated dealer in lightning rods and EN-
ploying him to do the work, he enters into
a contract with the first shark that comes
along and signs an agreement, which
eventually turns up as note IN the
hands Of an innocent party and mulcts
him to the tune of several hundred dol
lars, and the popular verdict is, Served
him right"
A prediction for strangers and the
mania for buying goods in other than the
regular channels of trade seem to be pc
culiar to . certain class Of lnercenary
people Of the community. They doubt
the honesty and good intentions of their
home artisan or merchant, whom they
have known for years, and refuse to be-
ieve his assurances of fair treatment,
but turn willing ear to the first smooth
tongued swindler that comes along. This
trait Of human character is well known
to tae smooth worker, and the amounts
realized each year through the gulllbility
OF their victims is greater than is general
ly known.
The farm implement and musical in
strument agent comes from no man
knows whittier, makes a sale at low
price and levants. In few days q man
with chattel mortgage ON the same
article arrives and wrests it from the
buyer, and he has no recourse unless he
can find the agent. A dealer in this
mans own locality stood ready and anx-
ious to sell him the same goods at fair
price, but he preferred patronizing a
stranger with the vain hope Of getting
something for nothing. He got duped,
and his happiness is not increased when
his neighbors declare that it ''served
him right"
Farming communities are now being
visited by agents for grocery concerns
and shoddy dry goods houses located in
one of the large cities. The bargains
they offer have the effect of gathering in
scores of victims. In one locality visit
ed. sugar by the barrel was offered at a
price lower than it could be obtained
from the refinery. There was, however,
, condition to the sale--that the buyer
was also to buy certain amount OF
spices and fancy groceries in order to
make a bill large enough to justify the
house in making shipment.
The goods came c. O. D., and much to
the disgust Of the consignee everything
but the sugar was utterly unfit for use.
Let these bargain seekers take the
hard cash which they always seem to
have ready and waiting for the shark
and go to your home merchant and plank
it down, and you will find that, taking
into consideration the quality OF the
merchandise, he sells much cheaper than
the travelling vender.
