the man or woman who is unable tC
show emotion is lacking in something
essential. Jesus is the perfect exam
pie of manhood-he could rejoice with
men or weep over their sorrows.
Our text goes on to speak of a
sorrow of the world. This is a selfish
sorrow. And the writer says this sor-
row means death. Such sorrow had
Cain. We do not read of him as wish
ing God to raise Abel. His sorrow was
all for his own punishment and suffer
ing. All selfish sorrow. 1t was such
a sorrow that was in the heart of the
rich young man. He had the same
old conflict of character and things
And you will always find God on the
side of character.
The same thing is true of heaven.
There the pavement is of gold. Man
up, gold beneath him The great
trouble today is that too many men
are putting gold up and character be-
low it. In Gods order character is
up and gold below Sorrow of the
world is always looking out for some
body to treat it badly. Some men
spread their sorrow six feet around
them so that somebody will step on it
and give them a chance to feel bad.
Sorrow of the world is linked with
jealousy and jealousy brings lying A
man who is Jealous will lie without
knowing.
IAN angry man has this sorrow of
the world. Such a man has a down
ward look, unless he is looking up to
see something falling on him. I think
that is the reason the old prophet said,
L will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
whence cometh my help The sorrow
of the world worketh DEATH God de-
liver us from it,
But in contrast to this is that other
sorrow-Godly sorrow which worketh
repentance unto salvation. Cody sor-
row is the origin of the true philan-
thropy. 1t takes a man with a heart
to be true philanthropist. Men have
got an idea that in order to be a Chris
tan they have got to be weak. They
think that they have to get down in
the dust before they can come to
Jesus. Oh, no, the first step is one
honorable, manly-upward not down.

way. Perhaps somebody has missed
the meaning of the plan and thinks
that is the object of Christianity. Oh,
no a man turns from his sins and gets
right with God when he becomes a
Christian. That is the secret-turn
from your sins and get right with God.
A cody sorrow working repentance

After an earnest prayer My Jesus
L Love Thee was sung. Then the
evangelist asked those whose influence
over others and Godward had not been
what it should and who wished to get
right with God to raise their hands.
All over the house hands We're raised.
During the singing of another hymn
many passed into the chapel for an
after meeting. DR.. S. E. Bishop dis

ton.
