Rev. John Lloyd, rector of st. Johns
church, officiated, and spoke most i'm
pressively and eloquently, paying a
| high tribute to the memory of the de-
parted. He took for his text:
John I4:1 let not your heart be
/ troubled We believe in good. believe
also IN me-" Saying:
| Our text brings us face to face with
trouble, the old problem of pain. The
worlds greatest thinkers have sought
/ to solve it and have written great
PHILOSOPHERS seeking to harmonic the
worlds tragedy with the divine good
| ness These philosophers pass away
or are superseded, because they are in
/ adequate, but these words of Jesus
will never pass away. Jesus solved
/ the worlds problem of pain, not from
any philosophic insight, nor from
| some cultured serenity and clustered
/ calm, but by His own revelation OF
| the heart of eternal goodness, in the
/ midst of the blacklist tragedy of all
Il time The pain of the world was TO
/ cused in His own person when He
II uttered these eternal words.
Every page of the New Testament
which paints a dark picture of human
sin and suffering is also suffused with a
II strange transcendent Joy, like the JOY
of the dewdrop empearled in the rose
bud, yea, rather like the JOY of the
rainbow which tells both of the sun
and of the shower.
What is the meaning of this? The
cause of this unique joy is found in
two things. First the revelation OF
that aspect of the divine nature, which
in Christ expressed the very highest
conception of saCI. fetal love.
Like as father pitieth his children.
so the Lord pitieth them that fear

Even these great revelations Of God
the very highest, given to the Hebrew
prophets. are all transcribed in thai
revelation of God in Christ in the
Upper Room. There was a second
source Of this joy. Religion brings u:
face to face with a spiritual world
a supernatural life, an invisible order
but Jesus broke through that trans
cendental world at that point in spacs
and time which men call Bethlehem
