HARD TIMES A BLESSING

ness is difficulty" it is also one of the
delights and disciplines of goodness.
MacdOnald's lines are true to life:
Does the road wind uphill all the way?
Yes, to the end
viii the days journey take the whole
long day?
From morn to night. my friend"
l see nothing to whimper about in
this.
Like Montague, Il walk f1rmer and
more securely uphill than down"
Christians hard ascent of the Hill of
Difficulty was less perilOus than his
seemingly easy descent. Moreover,
there is something exhilarating in a
climb. a brave man need not be afraid
of that which is high. There is such
4 thing as difficulty which comes as
z cheer and d challenge. we fall to
rise, are baffled to fight better"
With some this sense of difficulty
begets Encouragement, murmuring, or
even despair. With others, hardness
becomes an excuse for moral laXity.
But for men of good courage difficulty
is a wholesome challenge; Il acts on
them as danger acted on Lord Napier
AS a tonic. 1t gives them OppOrtuni-
~ to at once serve God and their
neighbors, and to enrich and strength
en- their own characters.
But who are We to magnify our hard
ships and difficulties? Think of the
homes into which the devil himself
seems to have thrust tragedy. What
are our sweet sorrows, our GOd-sent
burdens, compared with theirs? Think
Of the fine fellows who resist appetite
till they are worn out and ready to
drop down conquered. What are our
struggles with sin as compared with
theirs? For most of us. our paths are
in green pastures and beside still wa
tiers, our Jokes are easy and our bur
dens light: ours is the temptation of
ease, not hardness; of pleasure, not
pain. But be it hard or easy, let US
greet the unseen with a cheer"

OVER EXPLOSION
Historic Building Wrecked
and Twenty Persons
Injured.

Rome, Dec. 3L-The Temple of Nep-
tune, built by Hadrian and standing in
the center of the Forum of Agrippa
| now occupied by the stock exchange
was the scene this afternoon of ire
mendous explosion, causing a sensation
almost as great as the explosion of a
! bomb in st. Peters on Nov IS. 1a06
/ The conclusion was so great that many
| persons throughout the city we're ter
rified, and great crowds rushed to the
| scene. Within the building there were
many people, but fortunately a great
| majority Of the brokers had left. No
one was killed, but twenty persons,
chiefly clerks, were injured.
The explosion resulted in the collapse
Of the roof Of the exchange, and a
number of those injured were caught
in the wreckage. but later were re-
leased by firemen.
May Have Been Caused by Gas.
Although first impressions were that
the explosion was caused by a bomb
thrown by some one who wished either
to prevent The end of the month liqui-
datiOn or take advantage OF the confu-
sion to commit an extensive theft, it
was generally accepted later that the
disaster came from an explosion of gas.
officials, however. who made an inVes-
tigatiOn, do not admit such possibili-
ty, but as there is no evidence to show
that a bomb was thrown the probabili-
~ of a gas explosion has been given
out by the police.
Within half an hour of the explosion
hundreds of brokers were gathered
within the exchange. when money and
securities to the amount Of several
million dollars changed hands. Lucki-
ly the business of the day was over
and most Of the brokers were return
ing to their homes, leaving behind the
clerks and exchange officials 10 COM
plete their labors.
Crowd Seized With Panic.
The detonation was terrific. and when
the roof fell clouds of dust We're thrown
high in the air. Police. firemen and
troops hurried to the scene and had diff
ficulty in calming the excitement of
thousands who rushed to the temple.
Later. when another explosion was
feared, the crowd again became panic
stricken, and many persons received
minor injuries in the crush Most of
those who were taken from the ruins
had received injuries about the head
and upper part of the body, llth ugh
none was known to have been injured
fatally. Soon there was a procession
Of injured i'm omen cabs and ambu-
lances TO the hospitals, traversins the
crowded thoroughfares amid pitiful
scenes.
