God caring for His own. Amid the stress
and strife of Christian warfare the SOL
der of the cross has the sure confidence
that the eye of God is on him, and
though unseen, the forces that seem so
adverse are working out Gods plans
through him.
Careless seems the great avenger; history

the forces of evil should be massed

they should impede as far as possible the
advance Of the cause he loved and repre-

heart felt that by every difficulty over

part Of the follower of Christ, by every
prayer sent up through the night Of sor-
row, his own character was ennobled and
the cause of right advanced, through God
overruling the evil for good.

to no one thing has 1t owed so great
debt as to the thought Of and faith in an
overruling Providence. In his fierce con-

this advance, his pillar of fire by night

ception of God which places Him on the
side of the striving soul. ruling and over

and right men. and making the very evils
Of life contribute toward the welfare OF

The faith of Paul was striking exam

The constitution Of the college Of cardi-

this number is not often complete. Not
since 1885 and 1867 has the college been
filled. In 1245 Innocent " ordained
that all cardinals should wear the red
hat to show that they ought to expose
themselves to the shedding Of their blood
for the church.
The scarlet skull cap and tirefta wara
instituted In the fifteenth century. The
creation Of the largest number Of cardi-

pontiff. Leo XIII. who gave the red hat

Suffered TO SevA -

The gift Of eternal nfe through &hazb
fering OF the just for the un3us4 aHAA1
mystery OF the gospel thst men % ~
easily understand. Yet tho spirit of -
carious suffering dominates life. The d.
velopment OF Christ In Nazareth did nc1
appeal to men Of His generation. They
asked What good thing can come out
of NAZARETH" His early beginnings as a
tender plant and root out of dry ground
were not favorable to His messiahship.
Jesus, whose soul was filled with SYM
pathy for men in their struggles to over
come sin, whose heart was filled with
love for men, whose life was marked by
unselfsh devotion to those in trouble and
need, was despised and rejected OF men,"
The sorrows Of life moved Him, but TO be
misjudged and misunderstood by those He
sought to save filled His life with grief
so that He was "a man of sorrow and ac-
quainted with grief"
He came In the form OF man. so that
they could understand his revelation Of
Gods love. that they might have life
abundantly and enjoy the liberty where
with He promised to make them free.
They thought that the cause of His suf-
stricken, srnitten OF God and afflicted
when It was for us as well as them that
He suffered. He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities. the chastisement of our peace
was upon Him. and with His stripes we
are healed"
Centuries later for us who like sheep
had gone astray. Jesus fulfilled this
prophecy. In the day of the prophet IL
sheep wandered and was lost it was the
practice to bring 1t back. so Jesus met
the exactions of Justice. He suffered for
us that We, being dead TO sins. should
live unto Righteousness" Christ made il
possible by His salvation that We, too.
might be saved. Sometimes ii is necessary
that suffering should come TO us as Ii did
to our Lord II we are to enjoy the fruits
Of victory. The tear lenses have often
been the means whereby we have seen
the heavens open. Until We too, have
endured the suffering and agony OF the
soul that realizes its sin, we cannot un-
derstand the suffering Of the Savior for as.
