Earthly Trials.

The earthly trials that come to us are
Gods means of securing our heavenly
joy. They lie upon the road we have
to travel, and tnc.v help us forward.
As means of sanctification they make
us meet for the inheritance. If Christ
prepares mansions for His people it is
by preparing them for the mansions.
The affection is not merely light COM
pared with the weight of glory, but it
actually worketh that very glory and
secures it. 1t holds chief place among
the 'all things" that work together for
good.-Sunday at Home.

ooh, that men would pvaise the Lore
for His goodness and for His wonder
full works to the children of men,
No possible precaution can fully pro
tect from danger in this world. Their
is no place Of absolute safety. No wis
dom can prevent mistakes. no care en-
tircly avoid error. There Is no sanctu
airy where sin cannot enter, no paradise
secure from temptation. No flight OF
fortltude can escape suffering. Some
times 1t seems as If all life is labor
pain and one long wall. We wish sc
much and yet so little; we shrink and
tremble, but in spite Of all are obliged
to endure.
We cry for release and help, and SC
often the only apparent answer is q
deepening Of the gloom and heavier
burdens. Does God care? Why does
He let others have all that heart can
wish and deny us the little which we
crave?
Why, indeed? But that He may give
that which is better than things, the
best we can have or He can give-soul
filing and satisfaction.
Are you hungry and thirsty, soul
tired and heart sick, wandering alone
in the wilderness Of the world? Then
cry unto God, and when you cry be
willing TO let Him lead. He will lead
In the right way. Stop Juggling and
pulling against Him; let Him lead. He
will bring you TO n city; He will show
you companionship in place OF your
selfshness. Do you suffer? So do 9th
ers, so do all, and some far more than
you do. Let your soul 90 out In sym
patty for them. You will not forget
your own sorrow, but you will by 1t
know how to feel with others and help
them. Relieving them, you will not
lose yourself, but your pain will be
blessed, so that in suffering still you
will find the companionship of fellow
sufferers and Of the Christ most salts
flying. You will come to ask not to be
relieved from pain, but. rejoicing that
you are counted worthy to suffer for
md with Him. you will ask only that
God shall lead.
No aggregation OF wealth, health,
honor beauty. luxury or any combina-
ton of earthly benefits can satisfy the
soul. Ease is not the condition OF high !
est happiness. We are so made that
we crave the nobility Of soul life and
can be satisfied with nothing less.
Pain is not evil: pleasure is not good, |
while the cross of Jesus Christ lifts be-
fore US the one excellent white soul |
who has shown us that the path OF
life leads through Gethsemane and
over Calvary, beyond the tomb in the
garden to the day of resurrection as
rension, glorification.
Days of darkness bring down our
FOULS with labor till we know our needs

If all our distresses.
So journey on, not knowing;

A modern writer on Christian ethics
says of prayer that, whatever else it
is-duty, privilege or spiritual exercise
it is also a necessary element OF the
spiritual life. When it stops entirely,
life stops. To be without prayer is to
be without God" These are uncom-
promising assertions, but they cannot
be denied. They are according to
Scripture and to all human experience.
But what a CHASTITY testimony they
bear against those who restrain prayer
before God, who go to a prayerless bed
and rise TO a prayerless days work.
who are neither drawn by joy nor driv-
en- by sorrow to the mercy seat, but

When those hours come upon us IL
which we yearn for the wings of g
dove that we may fly away and be al
rest, let us strive TO overcome our sad
ness by the cheering influence of hope
Let us go to God for that peace that
passeth understanding" and thus
change the burdens of life into bless
ings. There is no sorrow which may
not in this way be alleviated, no
wound that may not by this balm be
healed. In doing so We viii indeed be
carried away from our sorrows and
trials to n condition Of holy rest in
God. This is after all the great bless
ing. AS Hunt says, Being content, the

II you have any trial that seems in
tolerable, pray-pray that II be re-
lieved or changed There is no harm in
that. We may pray for anything not
wrong in itself with perfect freedom
If we do not pray selhShly. One dis
abled for duty by sickness may pray
for health that he may do his work, or
one hemmed in by internal impedi-
ments may pray for utterance that he
Ray serve better the truth and the
right. Or IL we have a besetting sin
we may pray to be delivered from it
in order to serve God and man, and
not be ourselves satans to mislead and
destroy. But the answer to the prayer
may be, as it was to Paul, not the re-
moval of the thorn. but instead grow
ing insight into its meaning and value.
The voice of God in our soul may show
US as we look up to Him that His
strength is enough to enable us to bear
it.-J. +. Clarke.

life, and sometimes there are days sc
dark that it seems as II the light has
forever gone out Of our lives. But all
who trust God find that it is not so and
that, while weeping may endure for
the night, joy cometh in the morning"
There Is no intimation in the word
of God that we shall not have dark
days in our lives Some Christian peo-
pie seem to think that the Bible teach
es that Gods people are exempt from
trouble in this life. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The Bible en-
phasizes the fact that 'in the world
we have tribulation," but 1t urges us in
spite of it to be of good cheer because
Christ has overcome the world. 1t
teaches that God will be with US in
trouble and that He will sustain us.
but it nowhere suggests that we shall
be free from adversely and afiliction.
Let us have no such a misunderstand-
ing of the Scriptures as this, for, II we
will, our faith in God will be shaken
or perhaps even destroyed.
.. Paul urged the Corinthians to
practice the grace Of giving under the
inspiration Of the bencvolence of 9TH
ers. II speak not by commandment,
but by occasion of the forwardness Of
others" Paul would not use his au-
thority to command them to give, but
appealed to them to be inspired by the
benevolence of others. Others had been
forward in giving. Their forwardness
should be cmulated by the Corinthians.
