Rev. John IF. Newland. pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church tonal church were at the Sheltering Arms for the Sunday afternoon service; Rev. c. H. Ricketts being unable to be present. The text of the address was, And the Twelve Gates Were Pearls, Every Several gate was one pearl The pearl is the jewel of life, he said. It is formed from an irrita- ton in biva1ve, it is a jewel of tragedy. The tragedies of our lives may bring us the gate jewels of heav- jewel that shall be a gateway to heaven. Out of the suffering of the body comes the jewel of patience which shall lead us on to the heights. Impa>- tience closes hearts and doors to bet ter things. Heroism is developed by suffering; true and strong and brave are those heroic souls.
 Poverty is a tragedy; it comes to be wound to the soul. Faith in God grows sweet and strong when other props are cut off. The faith of my mother grew splendid in hard, hard conditions. Humility is jewel that is more easily cultivated in poverty than in wealth Fath and humility
 agedy. Out of this jewel can grow There may come the companionship of Christ that shall seem very real Hard work is called a tragedy. One pearl or laDor IS dignity coming from the sense of being worth while, of having place in the world. The vii sion of evil is another tragedy. From it comes the glory of the conception of Christ's salvation. Out of our suffer ings may come gate jewels that shall open the way to sweeter, better things. Out of your trials shall come the gate way to heaven. if you will have it so.
