the Joy which shall be demonstrates
when you sail up the broad bay o.
heavenly salutatiOn. The more friends
YOU have there, the easier your own
transit. What is death to a mother
whose children are in Heaven? Why
there is no more grief in it than there
is in her going into nursery amid the
romp the and laughter of her house
hold. Though all around may be dark
see you not the bright light in the
cIou ls-that light the irridated faces
of your giorifed kindred?
50 also, my friends | would have
you make the best Of your sic!lnc1ssc,
When you see one move on with eIas-
tic step and in full physical vigor,
sometimes You become impatient with
your lame foot. When man describes
an object a mile off, and YOU can not
see it at all, you become impatient Of
your dim eye. When you hear Of a
well man making great achieve
nent you become impatient with
your depressed nervous system or you1
dilapidated health, I vial tell You
how you can make the worst Of it.
Brood over it; brood over all these ILL
nesseS. and your nerves will become
twitchy and your dyspepsia more ag-
gravated. and your weakness more APP
palling. But that is the devils work
TO tell YOU how to make the worst Of
it; it is my work to show you brighter
light III the clouds.
Which of the Bible men most attract
you attention? You say. Moses, job
David. Jeremiah, Paul. Why. what a
strange thing it is that you have chosen
those who We're physically disordered
Moses--I know he was nervous from
the clip he gave the Egyptian job
his blood was vitiated and diseased
and his skin distressfully eruptive.
David--he had a running sore which
he speaks of when he says: My sore
ran in the night and ceased not" Jere-
miah had enlargement of the spleen.
Who can dou bt it who reads Lamenta-
tons? Paul-he had a lifetime sick
ness which the commentators have been
guessing about for years, not knowing
exactly what the apostle meant by "a
either; but it was something sharp.
something that sruck him. / gather
from all this that physical disorder
may be the means of grace to the soul.
You say you have SO many temptations
from bodily ailments, and if you were
only well you think you could be a
Good Christian. While your tempta-
tons may be different, they are no
more than those of the man who has |
an appetite three times day and |
sleeps eight hours every night.
From my observation, l Judge that |
invalids have more rapturous view |
OF the next world than well people, |
and you will have higher renown in |
Heaven. The best view of the delecta- |
BILE mountains is through the lattice of |
the sick room. There are trains run |
ming every hour between pillow and |
throne, between hospital and mansion, |
between bandages and robes, betwe en-
crutch and palm branch. Oh, I wish
some Of you people who are COM
PEELED to cry: My head, my head! my |
foot, my foot! my back, my back" |
would try some of the Lords medicinel

fore long. Heaven is an old city, but

sickness or one bill of mortality. No
opthalmia for the eye. No pneumonia

LONG DELAYED PROPOSAL.
Romance of Faded Bouquet of Eel
low Roses.

One of the longest delayed proposals
on record is the pretty little French
story of the shy young subaltern who
was ordered away to the wars, aud,
not daring to speak, sent a nosegay
of yellow roses to the girl he loved,
with a little note inside, begging her
if she returned his love to wear one
of the roses in her breast that night
at the ball. She appeared that night
and he went away broken hearted.
Years and years after, when he was
lame old general, he again met his
old love, now IA white haired widow.
The romance of old days once more
made them friendly.
One day his old sweetheart gently
asked him why he had never married.
"Madam!' he answered, somewhat
sternly, you ought to know best. If
you had not refused to answer that
note in the bouquet of yellow roses, 1
might have been happier man."
"That motel" she repeated, growing
pale.
She opened an old cabinet, and took
from a drawer shrivelled boquet of
what had been yellow roses, among
whose leafless stalks lurked scrap
of paper, yellow with age.
See! | never had your note" she
said, holding it up. eff / had / would
not have answered it as you fancied"
"Then answer it now" said the gal
liant old soldier. And the long delay
ed proposal was accepted at last.
