The "Why" of SOrrOlU or
Blessings Out of Bereavement
rmon preached yeseday aernoon BY D LyOn

all suffering belonged to the first di-
vision. that it was only the result OF
wrong g-doing. and this idea continued
until the time Of Christ One whole
book Of the Bible was written to com
bat the prevalent idea that all sun
oring was the result OF transgression
tho book of Job lie was a right
eus man and had more suffering than
his neighbors. Friends came to him.
like many moderns, and with their
false arguments tried TO convince Job
that because he had greater suffering
than others he was therefore a great
sinner He did not believe it and told
them So The Holy Spirit convinces
men Of righteousness as well as OF
sim
Couldn't stop the Train.
Why does God permit all this suf-
fering? To suspend the operation OF

showed the meaning of the statement
by referring to a lady bitterly COM
planning Of the unkindness Of God in
permitting her son to be run over by a

thinking that if trains were stopped
on all such occasions. it would be i'm

glofMr DR. Lyon declared that he
considered the question Of sorrow as
one Of the most profound problems
that 81 is possible for the human
mind'to consider.
No subject has caused Christian be-
hevers more doubt and difficulty than
the subject of why God permits sun
ering and sorrow in this world. Many
who have been earnest and faithful
Christians. seemingly. when things
were. pleasant and prosperous. have
beco1hh hardened and embittered un-
believers, when great sorrow ana
trials swept over their souls. Goethe
in his iearlier life was a Christian be-
lievefl but in his later days his life
was shrouded in the darkness of
doubt on account Of the great earth
ouakts in Portugal and Spain. He
could not reconcile these disasters
with the existence Of a just and

He was forced to undergo a critical

Mr. Hughes preached the doctrines

ism, tariff as protection to the farm
ers and preparedness. and in each in
stance won applause. despite the fact
that the farmers are not the strong

They cheered for preparedness the
'oudest when Mr.. Hughes told them
that ii meant not militarism. but abil-

Unparalleled Extravasance.

The long session of the Si1ty.fourth
u. zoe. 100000 before adjournment
This is nearly half billion more than
was appropriated the last year OF the
civil war. The exact figures for 1865
were S.2shos9. .2ss.5s. These lavish
expenditures are not due altogether to
preparedness. as the Democrats would
fain have us believe. Senator Curtis
in a recent senate debate showed that
the 1917 increase over 1916 will be
3515.446.67062. The total increases
for preparedness will not exceed $780,
100000 for an armor plant AMI 10000
900 for a nitrate plant. This leaves
an increase of over sl25, 100000 aside
from any item that might be called
part OF the preparedness program.
This seems extravagant enough, but
:he comparison is with Democratic
congress. When the comparison is
made with the recent Republican con.
crosses" the Baltimore platform con
demned for ''profligate waste" II is
worse still. At the close OF the Sixty
