But We must admit Il Is a hard gate to
push back. Millions of thin hands have
pushed az It without making it swing on IT'S
hard hinges IL Is % gate made out Of empty
hour barrels ana cola nre CRATES, ana worn
out apparel and cherries homes, aud un-
medlcate1 sickness, and ghastllness and
horror. II Is gate of struggle. A gate Of
penury. A gate Of want, A gate Of disap-
p0intment. A red gate. OF what Isaiah would
have called a gate OF carbuncles.
Now, as I have already suggested, as
there are obstacles In all our paths. we wilt
be happier II we consent 10 have our life q
struggle. / do not know anyone to whop
It Is not a struggle. Louis the Fourteenth
thought he had everything fixed just right
and fixed to stay, and 80 he had the great
clock at Bordeaux made The hours OF that
clock we're struck by figures In bronze rep.
resentlng the kings OF Europe, and ut GER
tain time Of day william the Third OF Eng
land aud otherklngs were made to come out
and bow 10 Louis the Fourteenth. But the
clock got out OF order one day and just the
opposite Of what was expected occurred, as
the clock struck certain hour Louis the
Fourteenth was thrown to the feet OF Will
lam the Third. And so the clock OF destiny
brings many surprises and those 20 down
that you expected to stand, and ut the foot
OF disaster most regal conditions tumble. In
all styles oillie there come disappointment
and struggle. God has for some good rea-
son arranged It so. II II Is not poverty it Is
sickness. II tis not sickness, it is persecu-
ton. IL ii Is not persecution, Il Is contest
with some evil appetite. II it is not some
evil appetite, il is bereavement. II 1t is not
one thing, II Is another. Do not get soured
and cross and think yous case IL peculiar.
You are Just like the rest OF us. You will
have to take the bitter draught whether il
be handed to you in golden challfs or pewter
mug. man who has a thousand dollars a
year income sleeps sounder and has better
appetite than the man who has
Ave millions. If our life were
not a struggle We would never consent tc
get out OF this world, ami we would want to
stay here. aud so block up the way Of the
advancing generations. BY the time that a
man gets to be seventy years OF age, and
sometimes by the time he gets to be fifty
years OF age, be says: ~ have had enough
OF this, and when the Lord Wills it l an
ready to emigrate to a country where there
are no taxes and the silver of the trumpet
put to ones lips has no quarrel with the
gold Of the pavement under his feet" W.
have in this world more opportunity to cul
tivate patience than to cultivate any olhel
grace. Let that grace be strengthened il
the Royal Gymnasium of obstacle and OPP
position, and by the help Of God, HAVING
overcome our own hindrances and worrt
ments, let us go forth to help others whose
struggle Is greater than our own.
