But the greatreward is the one
the Master promises: Rejoice
and be exceeding glad said He,
''for great is your reward in
Heaven.
The great reward was not on
account of the tribulations. but
on account of the way they were
borne.
Who are these in bright ar.
ray ?" said the apostle to an angel
who was showing him OF an in
Vulnerable host in Heaven. The
a, gel replied, "these are they
who have come out of great trib.
ulalions.'' who had followed the
Master command to "rejoice
aud be exceeding glad.
The duty to rejoice and be glad
is plain, The compensation is
ample and the reward hereafter
is great.
Lief us therefore endure TO the
end. Let US be cheerful and re-
joice. The world is ours to enjoy
even in the midst of tribulations.
There is no reward that can come
to the hearts and souls of men
and women as that which comes
from cheerfuleess, that comes to
those who are glad ard rejoice
with exceeding great joy.

THE GREAT REV ARD
Rejoice and be excecdingl

glad. St. Matthew 5:13.
This Sunday talk is no. intend
ed for those of our readers who
are perfectly happy. although it
will do them no injury to read it.
1t is easy for one who has every
thing needed to make life happy
to rejoice and be exceeding glad
But it does not follow that they
always do rejoice.
1t is for those who do not re-
ljoice and ore not exceeding glad,
that this Sunday Talk is intend.
ed. But if person, in this land OF
peace and plenty, should rejoice.
Why not? The question ans
wers itself-there is no reason.
Too many people spend their
time in regretting, in lamenting,
in signing, in berg careful and
troubled about many things that,
in themselves, are of little or no
importance, or very little value,
when a great reward is within
their reach.
Some people go mourning all
their days, when joy and glad
ness would BE- Illuminating their
souls if they would only let them
in.
Some people sigh and grieve
over dsappointments and misfor
tunes. when they could be glad
and rejoice over blessings and
promises. -
Some people mourn over their
Affections, complain about their
prosecutions, weep over their
woes. and deplore their depriva.
tions, while all around them they
can find evidences of tender mer
cies. loving kindnesses and boun-
tiful benefactions, which should
make their hearts glad.
When the Master spoke the
words that head this Sunday Talk
He was not talking to people who
were prosperous, nor was He
holding out to them prospects of
earthly prosperity. These are
but transitory, and while they
may add to our comfort and use
fulness, they too FIRE uently lead
to forgetfulness of greater bless.
l. gs and to failure to partake of
those perennial fountains of grad
ness, which have their source in
the depths OF a satisfied soul, and
their outlet in the flowing streams
of blessings which refresh and
cheer, invigorate and strengthen.
| 1t is a good deal easier to re-
joice and be glad If one only will
realize 1t, than to lament and
complain. We do not mean to
say that it requires less effort.
One may J ieid to unhe althy. un-
wise emotions without any effort.
but that does not lessen the bur-
den. But one may come into the
Light that shines for all just as
easily and find therein JOY and
gladness.
The Master was speaking abou
hose in tribulatlon when He said:
Rejoice and be exceeding glad >
The Bible declares and exderi-
ence teaches us that however
heavy may be the affliciion or the
ribulation, lamenting only adds
to the burden. complaining only
increases the load to be carried.
There is no re ward to any soul in
living gloomily in the shadows
There is no promise of relief to
any heart THAT keeps on repining.
This world is a mighty good
world to live In. Look around
and see-reach out al d feel The
Creator has provided for mans
every need, temporal ard spirit
ual. Behind every cloud that
may appear dark to the vision,
is silver lining. Behind every

Graingrowers Victims
of First No.hit Game
in Northern This Year

Winnipeg, June 26.-Col. Bob ING
laub and his band of Docotah braves
were rounded up and completely an
initiated last night at the local ball
park. It was q massacre, as note
worthy as the famous Custer affair
Not a hit or a run were allowed the
G~raingrowers during the nine sessions
by Pitcher Stanley Dougan, the local
finger, setting the record In the North
ern league for 1914 for the first no
hit game.
Only one Ct the visitors was allowed
to see first base, and this was only
because Pitcher Dougan made an err
ror on Wertz' sharp grounder which
the HEAVIER failed to handle in time to
get the speedy third sacker. 1t was
a close decision and the crowd thought
Wertz should have been called out.
Calhoun made a brilliant catch OF
Weidelrs hard line drive to deep GEN.
ter IL the first ~stanza, the only chance
for q clean hit in the game. Dougan,
beside setting a row of ciphers down
in the hit column did not issue a walk
and h famed twelve Of the Grain
growers.
Greisel was no puzzle to the locals
The big finger from Fargo-Morhead
was touched up for ten hits, one OF
them, by Swain, being the longest hit
ever made here. 1t was a homer in
the fifth with two on.
Schiller to Dye to Unglaub, was the
route of a snappy double play by the
visitors. The Graingrowers put UP 6
nice game in the field and made 6

Providence.

God works in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Ye fearful souls, fresh courage take
The clouds We so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall breal
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
J.
His purpose will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
William Cowper.
