A Little Sermon on Pain.
Celected.)


Why do we suffer? Is pain a
necessary part of the trembling fab
ric of existance? Isit curse or bless
ing? The Orient saw, in the mystic
ry of suffering, only the stroke of
the law of retrlbution, saw only an
effect descending upon the soul as
the reaction Of it's own sin. So the
word of the Orient is Resignation
Greece saw in suffering only blind
blow dealt by the capricious hand of
Destiny-a blow for which there was
no hope, no consolation. The word
of Greece was Endurance.
But Jesus came, revealing new
meaning fer pain. He shows it to
be remedial, redenptive; shows how
it can break doors out Of the shut
house of self. The heart is dead
until It begins to feel the touch Of
the wor.d-pain, and only through
our own little inlet Of sorrow can We
come to feel the tide Ct tie great
sea. ! can well believe that only the
souls enriched by sorrow Will ever
find the inner and more mysterious
chambers Of the Divine. They only
will have that prec;pitate @ expert
ence that makes Us kindred to tnt
Gods.

REPUBLICAN, STANDARDS

than fifty years ID the chief possess
sion and warrant Of the republican
party. Its greatest leader-Abra-
ham Lincoln snatched from It
in an instant, and at a time when
his wisdom and experience we're
especially needed, but the party
moved steadily onward, and Was
never stronger in ito long established
principles than it is today. Il
could never be made a background
for the turbulent vanities Of any
man unless its character degener-
Grated into something different
from what it has always been. The
elorification Of individuals is not ito
b. siness. 1t has the affairs Of q
great country to look after, and for
many years has been intrusted by
the people with the control Of all
departments Of the government.
The representatives Of the party
hold the power to make laws and
carry them into execution. They
are authorized to originate public
policies and to shape and admin
lister them. The people have not
often trusted = party to this extent.
But the republicans have been
faithful to popular interests, have
devised important measures. made
them effective and proved their
value, and will press on in the
same course unless it should be the
peoples will to withdraw some
coordinate branch Of the govern.
ment from the control Of a single
party.
Once in four years the party
meets in National Convention to
affirm its principles and define its
position on new issues. The dele
gates are chosen in hundreds Of
smaller conventions reaching into
every neighborhood throughout the
country. These delegates, coming
from forty-six states and the ter
ritories, are recognized by the con-
vention as free to exercise their
individual judgment and a. equal
parts OF an unfettered whole. The
burden Of their deliberations is the !
political problems OF the day.
Some Of these may present them
selves unexpectedly. but a COM.
petent party when this occurs, will
rise to the occasion. Upon the
party since it was
lonned has devolved many respon-
'ibilities Of the first order. II was
charged with saving the union and
here was no way to do it except
by . mighty civil war. Slavery

With - they take form from timc

There may be individual cases
where both have worked hardship,
