Here's to laughter, the sunshine of the soul,
the happiness of the heart, the eaven of youth,
the privilege of purity, the echo of innocence, the
treasure of the humble, the wealth of the poor the
head of the cup of pleasure; it dispes detection,
banishes blues, and mangles melancholy, for it's
the foe of woe, the destroyer of depression, the
enemy of grief; it is what kings envy of the peas
ants plutocrats envy the poor, the guilty envy the
innocent it's the sheen of the silver of smiles, the
ripple the waters delight the CLINT of the gold
of gladness; without it humor would be dumb, wit
would wither, dimples would disappear, and smiles
would shrivel, for it's the glow of clean con-
science, the voice of pure soul, the birth cry of
mirth, the swan song of sadness.-Lie

Subject:

Sorrow was an unbidden guest in
the home of Mary and Martha, in
the town of Bethany, in Judea.
Lazarus, their brother, was dead.
Their grief was the more poignant
because they believed that their
brother would not have died if a
certain mau whom they believed to
be Messiah, had been there.
Messiah had made many friends
as he journeyed hither and yon
thruout Judea, and Galilee, among
whom was this little. remnant of a
family, Lazarus and his two sisters,
Mary, and Martha.
When Lazarus was taken i'll his
sisters sent word to Messiah, notify
ing Him of that fact. Here we
are confronted by a statement that
seems paradoxical; in verse S of
the 18th. chap. of st. John, we
read that Jesus loved Martha and
her sister. and Lazarus" while in
the 9th. verse we are told that:
When he had heard therefore
that he (Lazarus) was sick, He
abode still two days in the same
place where he was" Afterwards
He and His disciples return to
Bethany.
Inasmuch as we are not consider
ing the incidents related in this
chapter from a theological or hom
iletic standpoint, but rather we
wish to CLEAN some practical truths
applicable to individuals and insti-
buttons of the present day, we will,
therefore, leave the religious idea
for occupants of pulpits. or writer's
of sermons, and will interpret only
those points which have direct
bearing on our present argument.
AS Messiah and His disciples ap-
preached Bethany, Martha went
forth to meet Him, giving evidence
of her faith in His power by her
statement: Lord, if thou hadst
been here, my brother had not
died." After a few words of en-
couragement from Messiah Martha
returned to the house and informed
her sister of the arrival of the Mas
ter.
The Messianic party were yet on
the outskirts of the town of Beth
any, and near the place where Laz-
arus was buried. To this place
came Mary, and Martha, followed
by many Jews-friends of the fam
lily from Jerusalem. Mary, sorrow
full and weeping, Frustrated herself
at Messiah's feet, repeating the
same words her sister had uttered
just few moments before Lord
If thou hadst been here, my brother
had not died."
There is no other instance on re-
cord of Messiah's weeping, except
at the grave of Lazarus. Did He
weep because He had lost friend
in the death of Lazarus? No; for He
was there to reclaim that friend
Did He weep because death had re-
moved a beloved member of the
household of His friends? No; fol-
He was there to restore that mem
Der 10 his place in the family circle.
Rather, did He not weep because of
the fact that in order that His pow
er might be fully demonstrated at
this particular time it was necessary
for others to endure a monetary
grief.
We may or may not believe the
incidents related in this chapter to
be true, that is OPTIONAL; however,
the practical lessons which we shall
deduce from them will lose none of
their potent force because of
our unbelief.
Lazarus is dead and buried; so
are you and l. Lazarus was sick
how long time is immaterial-be-
fore his death; so you and have
haan infected with the bacillus cf

Job And His Comforter


When brown, delicious sadness like
mantle wraps my soul,
And the mists ofmelancholy from despair's
dark islands roll,
And long to grope in caverns where dark
Stygian water run,
Then my friend, the Hopeless Optimist
drops in and spoils the fun.
There's cheerful, set expression on his
mouth and in his eye
AS he chirps, "A lovely morning!" 1T is
raining" [ reply,
''Well, perhaps t7i1ze moisty-but then
sunshine follows rain
Rather obvious' l mutter as | lapse
again to pain
With maddening irradiance he brightens
up the room,
Which is dreadfully embarrassing when
one is plunged in gloom;
For he smiles in CHASTITY pleasure, and he
slaps me on the back,
AS he grins, ''Brace up old fellow! all the
future isn't back!"
Isn't it?' cry in horror, vainly strug-
Cling with my fears;
Isn't life a flower of poison, isn't earth a
vale of tears!
Isn't woman deceiver isn't perfidy
Can't base my faith in anything not even
Schopenhauer!"
Mop he says. Your gloom is groundless.
For an answer look at mel
Why, | know no word like sOrrOw-smle
at everything see.
All things work to make me happy, and
Pm glad to know they dol"
But shake my haggard forehead. Poor
old chap, pity you!''
''PitY me?'' Eyes, most profoundly
more than all the human race,
That you have to 60 forever with grin
upon your face,
That you never know the rapture of be-
waling in fog,
Never muttered De PrOfttndiS' never
even kicked dog!
''Oh you happy Hopeless Optimist, tho
blandly you enthuse
don't 1O0z1t your rosy colors-I would
rather have the blues.
With your soul so bathed in sunshine l
should think you'd be afraid
OF spiritual sunstroke if you don't get
in the shaded
But he smiles deluded creature! and goes
whistling from the room;
Leaves me to the sOmber comforts of my
temperamental gloom,
To the sweet intoxication of unmitgated
woe,
Which my friend, the Hopeless Optmist,
alas, can never know!

full significance of this statement
when applied to the man who has
been released from prison? Lazar-
us feet were bound. Our feet car
ry us hither and yon; they are SYM
bolical Of liberty of action, freedom
in our journeyings. The man that
fares forth into the world from be-
hind prison bars is very apt to dis
cover that his feet still are bound
by grave-clothes prison stigma);
and that the better social avenues
will be closed against him. True,
there are certain strata's of social
life where you will be made well
come; where the fact that you have
done your Bit will give to you an
added prestige, but. and if you seek
companionship among such as these
you will be binding the grave
clothes more firmly about your feet,
and will be but paving the way for
another burial.
Lazarus hands were bound as
securely as were his feet. With
our hands we earn an honest liveli-
hood; deny the man released from
prison the right of honorable en-
ployment and you force him into
mendicancy, or crime, or both.
Lazarus head was bound also.
This is the most pernicious of all
the bindings. Listen, o Society!
as you thru your agents, The Board
of Pardons, or The Parole Board,
enunciate the Messianic invitation:
Lazarus come FORTH" do not for
get that Messiah also said: Loose
him and let him CO."
The head-cloth typifes, first, ig
norance; material aid may be &C.
corded the unlearned by proper ed
ucation while confined in a prison;
and the normal mind will respond
to educative influence by exercising
itself in channels of clean, respect
able thot. Right thinking is the
source from which emanathe right
living; for The thot is father of the
deed"
Second; the mind becomes stulti-
fed because of having to endure
the contempt, sneers, and dispar-
agement in general that the ex-pris-
oner is made to endure at the hands
of either an unthinking or an un-
sympathetic public. And this grad
ually defects his mind into sordid
self-pity, from which point 1t is an
easy decline to the third stage of
mental binding I.E., obscession. This
obscession causes the individual to
feel that he is an Ishmael-' every
mans hand against him, and his
hand against every man.
Such indeed has been the case in
the days agone; but the hue and
cry of to. day is reform. If You, q
Public, are in earnest on the re-
form question, do not overlook the
fact that reformative methods in
the prison regime are not sufficient,
but these methods must be supple
mented by proper attitude of the
general public towards the ex- pris-
Oner.
| We do not mean by this that you
must needs fawn over him and ad-
ulate him; but we do maintain that
as he endeavors to enter the Mar
athon of honest existence, you
should not compel him to run a
further handicap because of your
pharasaical mistreatment of him.
The Bright Side Out.
The sun may have it's troubles,

The lark may have misgivings,
But she hides away her doubt;
Poets praise the sun for shining,
And the lark for never pining-

Out of death springs life. We must die natur
ally, in order that we may live spiritually. The
beautiful flowers spring up from dead seeds; and
from the death of those evil principles that spread
so dfusivey and darkly over the natural heart
springs up the beauty of life, the quite but
ravishing bloom of holiness. -EIch07Se.
