Comfort Through Sorrow.

The beatitude of Christ shows that
the blessing of sorrow lies in the com
fort. A large portion of the Bible is
comfort which can become ours onl y
through sorrow. We can say:
"Blcssed is night, for it reveals to US
the stars" In the same way we can
say: "Blessed is sorrow, for it reveals
Gods comfort" The floods washed
away home and mill-aIl the poor
man had in the world. But as lie
stood on the scene of his loss, after the
water had subsidized, brokenhearted
and discouraged. he saw something
shining in the bank which the waters
had washed bare. 1T looks like gold" "
he said. 1t was gold. The flood
which had beggared made him rich.
So it is ofttimes in life. Sorrow strips
off loved possessions. but reveals the
treasures of the love Of God. We are
sure, at least, that every sorrow
that comes brings to US a gift from
God, blessing which may be ours If
we will accept it.
Clouds gather in the sky with omin-
GUS threatening; but they pass, and
leave their rich treasure of rain. Then
the flowers are more fragrant, the grass
is greener, and all living things are
lovelier. Sorrow comes. There is
epony in the heart. There is Grape on
the door. There is a new grave in
Gods acre. But all hearts are softer.
Love is tenderer. Prayers are more
fervent. There is more ofheaven in the
household life. The cloud has left its
treasure of rain. BLESSED are they
that mourn: for they shall be COM
forted. REV. J. r. Miller.

Christ the Spirit, is with us, and he
is with us to-day. But are we in har-
mony with that Spirit? What we
need today is contemplation ,pious med
itation. IF we could take morning
hour and an evening hour and devote
it to communion with God, did it ever
occur to you what wonderful Chris
tians we might be? The need of the
day is that the pew and pulpit should
have more time for contemplation.
