The Unfaiiing Remedy.
am an herb doctor. 1 put into the
caldron the root out of dry ground,
without form or comeliness- Then
put in the rose of sharon and the lily
of the valley. Then 1 put into the
caldron some of the leaves from the
! tree of life and the branch that was
thrown into the wilderness Marah-
Then 1 pour in the tears of Bethany
| and Golgotha. Then I stir them up
Then l kindle under the caldron fire
made out of the wood of the cross,
and one drop of that potion will cure
the worst sickness that ever afflicted
human soul. Mary and Martha shall
receive their Lazarus from the tomb.
| The damsel shall rise. And on the
darkness shall break the morning,
and God will wipe away all tears from
| their eyes.
Your troubles are educational. 1 go
into the Office of a lapidary, an arti-
! fcer in precious stones, and 1 see him
| at work one precious stone for
few minutes, and he puts it aside fin
| ished. / see him take up another pre-
| cious stone, and he works on that all
| the afternoon, and come in the next
day and still find him working on it,
| and he is at work on it all the week.
l say to him, Why did you put only
20 minutes work on that one precious
| stone and put a whole week on this
other?" "Oh,' he says, that one upon
which I put only 20 minutes work is
of but little worth, and 1 soon got
through with it. But this precious

longed and careful work is of vast
value, and it is to flash in kings
coronet." So God lets one man go
through life with only a little cutting
of misfortune. for he does not amount
to much; he is a small soul and of COM
paratively little value. But this other
soul is of great worth, and it is cut
of pain and cut of bereavement and cut
of persecution and cut of all kinds of
trouble and through many years, and
I ask, Dear Lord, why all this pro-
longed and severe process?" And God
says: '-This soul is of infinite value.
and it is to flash in a kings cornet.
He shall be mine in the day when ]
make up my Jewels"
The sympathy of Jesus.
Jesus had enough trial to make him
sympathetic with all trial. The short
est verse in the Bible tells the story,
Jesus wept." The scar on the back
of his either hand. the scar on the
arch of either foot. the row of scars
along the line of the hair, will keep
all heaven thinking. Oh, that Great
Weeper is just the one to silence all
earthly trouble, wipe out all stains OF
earthly grief. Gentle! Why, his step
!, is softer than the step of the dew
1t will not be a tyrant bidding you
hush your crying. 1t will be father
who will take you on his left arm, his
. face beaming into yours, while with
, the soft tips of the fingers of the right
hand he shall wipe away all tears from
your eyes.
