PEOPLES PULPIT
"Life's Crucible.
G.. L. MORRILL,.

I visited manufacturing jeweler' IS
shop. The showcases were filed with
beautiful gold and silver ornaments.
After while I wandered to where the
wheels were whirring and the men were
doing different kinds of delicate work.
. Over to one side I noticed kind Of
fryingpan filed with bits of metal, dust
and sweepings. L. ~.
"What's this, George7" I asked.
"You re just in time; wait and See"
he answered. a -..at ..s.' s..... =.
He heated the pan and its contents
till all the foreign matter was burned
out. Then he placed what remained in
an earthenware dish and poured nitric
acid over it to eat out the base metals.
After this he added a large piece Of
copper to the mass and melted them.
The mixed metal was then rolled down
to thin ribbon and cut up into small
pieces. Nitric acid was again poured
over it, which precipitated the pure
gold: It settled in tiny. shiny fakes.
He dried them, placed them in cruel
BILE, melted them, and the result was a
lump Of pure gold. "
Surprising that was all, I was about
to leave, when he said:
cit IS only half done.''
There was silver precipitate in the
acid washings. He put copper plato
into it, and the, particles Of silver rose
to the top, where they threw off the
oxygen and settled to the bottom.
Then the acid was washed off, the pre-
cipitate was dried and melted, and the
result was lump of pure silver.
During all this time I had watched
my alchemist friend with silence. He
turned and said:
NWhat makes you look so solemns''
T. I replied: I've been to church and
listened to q sermon.''
Human hearts are full of dirt and
base metal. The Divine Refner knows
our worth and possibilities. He places
us in the fire and acid of trial. For A
time health deserts, taking the red
roses from our cheeks; honors vanish
leaving us unthought of and uncared
for; friends prove faithless when most
desired and needed; money takes wings
and flies away beyond our reach
graves are green with our tears; mourn:
full memories make our lips culver AMI
our hearts ache. When it seems as if
we could endure no more, we learn we
have been made pure in the furnace
Of afliction, have become perfect thru
suffering, and the gold and silver OF
character remain to be made into beau
tlful and useful lives, engraved with
| the Masters name.
And I will refine them as silver is
| refined, and will try them as gold is
tried: They shall call on my name an6
L will hear them; I will say, it is my
people; and they shall say, the Lore
