Tie hot wave that has been sweep

unusually intense. Great damage has
plready been done to the corn crop
and still greater loss is threatened
unless relief in the form of rain
comes quickly. Years ago it was to

each summers labors would be blast
ed by drought. the hot wind or the
plague of grasshoppers. But of recent
years these vlsitations have been
growing fewer until now they assume
the guise of 4 real calamity. The
truth of the matter is that this sectior

years. We have been more prosper
Gus than We knew. AS aresult We
have become rich and sensitive. We
are easily heightened, at present.
Our life has become so complex and
cur needs so many and diverse that
the possibility of being unable to
fully satisfy all of them makes many
people tremble at the prospect of loss
1t Is the bane of the prosperous that
they grow proud forget God and be
come the prey of circumstances. 1t is
because of this fact that calamity is
invariably morally beneficial to any
community. Ii is wholesome for the
natural man 20 feel the hand of his
God upon his person. The difficulty
is that in good days WE forget and
only in days of adversely can We or.
dinarily be made to take heed and
Give thanks. Therefore a season OF
loss and some real distress may be
most to be desired, much as we nat
ural.y shrink from pain and distress.
1t is good to give thanks and confess
our dependence. 1t humbles inordi
nate pride and saves us from many a
sorrow and fall. l. is pride and self
satisfaction that GO before a fall.
