Topic For the Week beginning Aug. 20.
Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
TopIo.-Conquering difficulties with Christ's
help.-H Cor. xi, 24-28; xii. 7-lo
/. Difficulties (I Cor. XII, 24-28). In
these verses Paul recounts the trials and
tribulations that he had endured as
servant of Jesus Christ, and the long
list of calamities place vividly before
us the difficult path of the faithful
and true servant of Christ, He had been
beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, attacked by
robbers, by his own countrymen and by
the heathen, and had suffered much from
physical privations, such as hunger,
thirst and cold, and in addition to all
these things there Was his great anxiety
for the churches which he had organ
lied, and over which he had general
supervision. 1t seems hardly possible
that so much that was difficult and had
to be borne should have been the lot of
one man, and yet Paul's experience is
only that of all disciples of Christ.
"Strait is the gate and narrow is the
way that leads to life. ~ The pathway
Of every Christian is strewn with hard
ships and difficulties. There are adver-
sites, calamities, difficulties, doubts,
privations, mysteries, affections and
sorrows to be met upon every side. The
one consolation i'll it all is that we do
not meet these difficulties single handed.
There is one who strengthens US, and it
is through Him that strengthens us that
we are enabled to do all things
2. Conquering difficulties with
Christ help (1I Cor, xii, 7l0). While
troubled much in his Christian life,
Paul was yet singularly blessed by his
Master, and that he might not be too
much exalted over these superior advan-
tages there was given to him some atflic-
tion which he calls ga thorn in the
flesh" Paul prayed three times that
this might be removed, yet it was not,
but instead Christ gave him grace to
bear it, saying unto him, my grace is
sufficient for thee" In answer to our
prayers Christ will not always remove
difficulties and obstacles from our path,
but He will give us the strength to con-
quer them. The Christian is able to un-
dergo every trial, to brave every sort of
suffering, to overcome every variety of
temptation, to perform every duty be-
cause Christ helps him by His teaching,
by His own patient example in enduring
hardships and particularly by the album
dant bestowal of His Holy Spirit

Acting Toward God.

Christianity, as life, begins with act
ing toward God as child acts to-
ward father and mother. The heathen
thought of God as their enemy. Chris
tianity has been fighting this idea for ls
centuries and has not yet overcome it.
Tho first idea child should have of
God is that of great Father, to whom
he can tell his joys as well as troubles.
This being stayed by God deprives failure
Of anxiety and disappointment. We gem
orally say we do the best we can and
leave the rest to God. We should rather
leave all to God and then do the best we
can. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst.
