his funeral could not express my aheo-
ton for that man. who was willing 70
help me out Of n tight corner. Ali my
friends, that ia what we sl want-sone-
body 10 help Us out Of tight corner.
You are in ons row. How do know
1t? am used to judging Of human
countenances. and SIC beyond the
smile and beyond this courageous
look with which you hide your
feelings from others know you
are in a tight corner. What to do?
DO as | did when sent for old
DR.. Scott Do better than did-send
for the Lord God OF Daniel, AMI OF
Joshua. and Of every other mln who
got into a tight corner. -, says
some one, why can no. tod develop
me through prosperity Instead OF
through adversity?- / will answer
your question by asking another.
Why does not God dye our northern
and temperate seas with coral? You
say: The water is not hot enough. ="
Their! In answering my question
YOU have answered your own.
Hot climate for richest sp-c-
imens OF coral, hot trouble
for the jewels OF the soul Tho coral
fishers going out from Tore del Cree
co never brought ashore such fine
specimens ~ are br1lyh, out o. the
sealding surges OF misfortune. |
look down into the tropical sea, and
there is something that looks Ike
blood, and say; Has theirs been .
great battle down there" Seeming
blood scattered all up and down the
reefs. II is the bloods Of the coral, and
it makes me think of those who come
out Of great tribulation and have their
robes washed white in the blood OF the
lamb But these gems OF earth are
nothing to the gems OF Heaven. No
mention shall be made Of coral
Again take your hand and We walk
on through this garden Of the sea and
look more particularly than we did al
the beauty of the coral The poets
have all been fascinated with II One
OF them wrote:
There. with broad and easy motion.
The fan coral sweeps through the clesr deer
sea
And the yellow and scarlet tufts OF the ocean
! Are bent ike corn on the upland lea
o, be encouraged! Do not any man
say, my work is 80 small" Do moi
any woman say, my work Is so inSig'
nficant; can not do anything for the
upbuilding of Gods kingdom" You
can. Remember the corallineS A
Christian mother sat sewing gar
ment, and her little girl wanted "a
help her, and so she sewed on an
other piece Of the same garment
and brought It 10 her mother. ant
the work was corrected. II was i'm
perfect, and had TO bc all taken Ou
again. But did the mother chide thu
child? o. no. She said, she wanted
TO help me and she did as well as sh'
could And so the mother blessed tn
child, and while She blessed the chill
she thought Of herself. and said: Per
haps Il may be so with my poor worl
! at the last God will look at IL
may be very imperfect AMI know it i
} very crooked lie may have TO take
all out; but lie knows that | want I
serve Him. and lie knows 1t is I'll
best that can do" So be con
I forted in your Christian work
Five thousand millions corallin
