my favorite psalm
That text was put in the Bible
to help people that were having a
hard time. so II must have been put
in there TO help a good many peo-
pie, for everybody at some time In
their life has a hard time.
What the Lord did for that poor
man He will do for all. II all will do
what that poor man did.
Lord Aids sinners.
There never was a case known OF
. a man or a woman in trouble who
did what this man did and the Lord
failed to help them.
When Jesus was here on earth, He
helped everybody that sought His
help, and He helped a good many
that didn't seek His help. ands He
never sent anybody away with q
heavy heart. The disciples often
wanted Him to do it, but He always
replied. They need not depart"
So IL you turn your back op heaven,
you know what you are going to,
you are going to hell. and you know
all about that. Nobody Is left in
the dark about it.
Job said, Man that is born Of
woman Is OF few days and full Of
trouble" yet man Is born unto
trouble, as the sparks fly upward. %
There is no back on earth that
doesn't have its burden. no heart on
earth that doesn't have its sorrow
Trouble Is the common lot Of US
all. We are not all rich. We are
not all wise: we are not all igno-
rant. We are not all sick: we are
. not all. well, but we all OF US have
trouble. That is one thing that every
bOdy's got.
You may have some things I
haven't. i may have some things
you don't possess, but we all have
troubles. They know it everywhere
They know it from the palace OF
p the millionaire down to the howell
They know it from the boulevard
down to the fostering alley. They
know II from the halls of legislation
down TO the ignorant people who
q don't know the \. B. C's. They
know something Of trouble every
where.
Prevalence Of Trouble.
. This world and the one to which
the wicked are going are the only
worlds where they ever have any
trouble. They have no trouble in
Heaven And the reason you have
trodble here is because you follow
the devil. And then when you leave
here after YOU serve the devil and
go to he'll. you will have more
'roUble than ever, because you were
a fool
Now I have been entertained in
homes in all parts of the land. and

learn that 10 was a home of trouble.
Sometimes I'd learn that there was
boy. wayward. Goddess. good-for-
nothing drinking. going down the line
with a gang of thugs, who de-
monetized virtue and sneered and
Knocked at God Almighty. and he'd
stagger and reel and jabber and
suptter and speW and vomit into the
home and over the carpet as he'd reel
to his room.
sometimes I'd learn that it was a
wii!ful, frivolous. cOquetish little
frlzzle-headed sissy. that wouldn't
listen to her father and mother and
would 20 out with the gang who
would assassinate every high and
noble ambition that ever struggled
for birth in her mind. or to put it
into action.
Sometimes I'd learn that il WAS a
husband who wasn't a Christian and
who Drofessed to be. and he was SO
viie in his life that the devil wodld
duck up an alley to avoid meeting
him on the street
I'd learn he was keeping somebody

pillow with her tears of anguish, and
she'd withdraw from society and she
was going TO premature grave be-
cause she didn't want to publicly ap-
ply for a divorce and thus bring the
stain upon the family and put a stain
upon the escUtcheon that nothing
could ever eradicate.
I'd learned that and much more too.
Inere are all kinds of trouble. The
trouble we bring on ourselves, and
the trouble that other people bring
on Us, and II everybody would mind
their own business. we wouldn't have
as much trouble as we do.

Now all the trouble comes from the,
