Cast Down But Not DESTROYED
BY REV. THEODORE L. CUYLER, D. d.

different persons affected by severe trials.
Some seem to have no rallying power after great
at1lcton; the wound never heals. On the other
mana, TRIALS that consume some persons only kin
ole others into greater eXertions. ''The financial
gale has carried away all your spars and swept
your decks, L once wrote to a most benevolent
Christian merchant after he had lost his property,
but you have got enough grace slowed away in
your hold to make you rich to all eternity.'' That
brave servant of Christ repaired damages, re-
sumed business, rallied his friends and at evening
time IL was light. Cast down. he was not de-
StrOyed.
The at1lctlons which are permitted by our Heav-
emily Father are never intended for His children's
destruction, but for their discipline. The shep-
herd often casts his flock into deep waters to wash
them, not to drown them. 'You will kill that bush
II you put that knife into it so deep' said a gen
tleman to his gardener ''No, sir; do this every
year to keep it from running all to leaves; sharp
pruning brings the Fruit We pastors often find
Gods most faithful ones bleeding under the knife
out afterwards they yield the peaceable and pre-
clous fruits of righteousness and triumphant trust
1t is that afterwards that God has in mind
when lie sends the trial. Affection is the costly
school In which great graces are often acquired
ana from which grand characters are graduated
How is it that genuine Christian recuperates
after being stricken down by a severe adversely
or sharp bereavement? Simply because his
graces survive the shock. For one thing his faith
is not destroyed. When ship loses her canvas in
a gale, she still be kept out of the trough of
the sea by her rudder; when the rudder goes, she

she is swept helplessy on the rocks So when
your hold on God is gone my suffering friend all
is gone. The most fatal wreck that can overtake
you IN times of sorrow is the wreck Of faith But
II IN the darkest hour you can trust God, though
lie Stay, and firmly believe that He ''chastens YOU
for your profit you are anchored to the very
throne of love and will come off conqueror
Hope also is another grace that survives Some
CHRISTIANS never shine so brightly as in the mid
night OF sorrow: [ know Of good people who are
like an ivory dice; throw it whichever way YOU
will, it always lands on square, solid bottom.
Their hope always strikes on its feet after the
hardest fall One might have thought that it was
all over with Joseph when he was sent to prison
or with John when he exiled to Patmos, or
with John Bunyan when he locked up in Bed
ford jail But they were all put in the place where
they could be the most useful
And that reminds me to say that your sorrows
may be turned to the benefit of others You can
relieve your own suffering hearts by turning the
flood OF grief upon some wheel of practical useful

For the whole of the first ana the

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Business lost their hOodoo yesterday
and played one Of the best exhibitions
that they have put up in the last sew
eral years.
Scott, the Business half, was very
much on the job. He proved the most
consistent ground gamer that the Ste
nographers had.
Menefee outpunted the Business men
almost two 10 one.
Central lacks in coaching. 1t looks
as If they have been tuLOred in scTim-
maE,s with "A shadow eleven. for on all
of their end runs, the runner also acted
as his own interference.
Gripp pulled of a nice cut shot yes
teTday when he attempted a forward
pass. Would take quite some practice
for as efficient manipulation of the ball
in that pass.
Big game next Tuesday-Tech and
