Noah's Discouragements.

One source of discouragement to the
Christian is in the seeming fruitless-
ness of efforts put forth for the con-
version Of sinners
Dwight L. Moody relates a personal
experience which furnishes strong
argument against such discourage
ment.
Ono Monday" he says."I had had a
very barren Sunday was in my study
in the morning, and I couldn't keep
back the tears. 1t seemed as II there
wasn't any pleasure in working for
God where there was no fruit.

teachers came in-his Sabbath school
lessons are equal to sermon-and

Here is a man who labored and talked
a hundred years and didn't get con-
vert, and he didn't get discouraged.
Here is a man who never led one soul
to God outside his own family. I closed

my head up and the darkness all gone.

his hand on my chair and said: My

tered upon his duties as pastor June II.

of the church, which had remained un-
finished since the time Of it's erection,

This question is fully answered in
the Scripture selected as the lesson for
this weeks topic psalm 27.

in all the world of which We have any
cause to fear, since the Lord is the
light. the salvation and the strength of
the Christians life.
9 BY using the means pointed out
for gaining this light, salvation AMI
strength. namely, prayer, trust and
praise.
The praying, trusting and praising
Christian will never be long troubled
by discouragements.

is no searching Of his understanding.

gave proof to all succeeding ages Of
his sincerity in protesting to be a
servant of God.
This life is a. state of trial. By vari-
Gus methods good men are tempted
and tried. Sometimes. by poverty,
pain, contumely or persecution.
How are such discouragements to be
conquered?

the conviction that the promises OF
God are immutable-that He shall

seven, there shall no evil touch thee"
