must be content to pass through sue
cessive furnaces so that we may be
made perfect in Christ; so that in our
souls the divine Refner may see His
own image reflected. Let these things
work in US the peaceable fruits of
righteousness, so that we may be able
to say
lis my happiness below
Not to live without the cross,
But the Savior's power to know
Sanctifying every loss.
Trials must and will befall,
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all
This is happiness to me-"
The hope of better things to come
supports US. The storm appears dark
while it is in progress, but by faith
we see the bow Of promise spanning
the clouds, and buoyed up by hope of
better things, we struggle on against
Universities.
Faith is not changed into sight until
the soul rises on the wings of light to
that "sweet land of rest" and is per-
mitted to see the bow encircling the
thorne of the Lamb which is token to
US that our troubles now cease for
ever and the "weary are at rest"
Another design of affection is to
prepare us for heaven. Probably the
gloomiest cloud or the darkest night
that can envelop US here is the one
that hangs over us by reason of death,
yet even then the christian can sing,
being sustained by the hope of reunion
beyond the grave. They will be full
of joy.
We weep, not because we cannot
have them back, or that we wish them
back,but because we shall see their
faces no more, and shall be deprived
of their fellowship here. They are not
lost to US. nor will we be those we
leave behind when death calls us away.
We may learn the shortness and I'M
certainty of life and so be ready for
our summons. Many are falling about
US, yet in the midst of pestilence we
are preserved. Shall we not then
humble ourselves before the mighty
hand of God and beseech Him to re-
move the scourge?
AS we read the rugged way of life,
our feet are weary and worn, yet It's
sweet to remember that Jesus trod it
before us and He knows our every
weakness and want.
When wracked by pain, disease or
grief, or the night of sorrow overtakes
us, He whose life was full of bitter
ness will grant US patience or relief
or strength as our day. He has open
ed to US His heart and has said, "Come
unto Me, all We that labor and are
heavy ladened and l will give thee
rest"
Then to the mercy seat We approach
and tell our anguish, for
Here speaks the Comforter in Gods
name, saying,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven
cannot heal"
All things work together for good
to them that love the Lord, and though
the winds rage and waves roll high,
and the little bark is in danger of be-
ing engulfed, if the Master is with you
there is absolute safety, while to the
troubled winds and agitated souls he
says, as to the waters of blue Galilee:
"Peace, be still" JOANNES.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
AFFECTIONS


In speaking of Affections, it is ap-
parent that each believer has his own
that are unknown to the world. They
are grievous. What a host arises from
his own corrupt heart He is prone to
leave his God and depart from the
ways of righteousness. Lukewarm-
ness in religion trouble him; GOODNESS
and formality are narrowing, for he
feels he has enemies within him that
would destroy his soul, and with the
apostle he cries, o, wretched man
that l am, who shall deliver me from
this body of death ?" When the earn
est christian looks in upon himself he
can but adopt the words of the poet:
what crowds of evil thoughts,
What vile affections there;
Distrust, presumption, artful guile,
Pride, envy, slavish fear"
Affections are but the chastisements
of his Fathers hand and are eviden-
ces of paternal love.
1t matters not what the character
of your Affections may be you have the
sure promise of the Word that you
will not be left to bear them alone.
You are sure to find support if you
seek it. David in his songs of praise
for deliverance from his enemies, said,
"They prevented him in the day of his
calamity, but the Lord was his stay"
Why should the christian be other
than patient when he knows that the
steps of good man are ordered by
the Lord and He delighteth in His
way. Though he fall, he shall not be
utterly cast down: for the Lord up
holdeth him with His hand"
Listen to Paul as he breaks forth
in thanksgiving to God: BLESSED be
God; even the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
and the God of all comfort; who COM
forteth us in our tribulation, that we
may be able to comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God"
If, then, these are evidences of di-
vine love, how should we conduct our
selves under His rod? They should
drive us to prayer, submissive prayer,
that the trouble may be removed.
Study the history and profit by the
example of Jonah, David, Hezekiah,
Paul and Christ Himself. Ask for
grace to endure, so that you may glo-
rify God
These things strengthen your graces
as the stormy wind tougher the oak
and send its roots deeper into the
earth
These winds of adversely drive US
nearer to Christ, strengthen our faith
and increase our graces. 1t is fact
that graces thrive best in affection.
The darker the night, the brighter
the stars shine. Bruise the spices and
they emit the sweetest odors, and so it
is that when the christian is bruised
by affection, his meekness, patience
and submission to the will of God
shine most conspicuous. If, however,
we rebel against Affections and refuse
to learn the lesson intended, we are
worse off, we are harder. They make
us better or worse. If sanctifed, they
are blessings. If the fire in the fur
mace is not hot enough to melt the
glass, you must increase the heat that

PASTORS TO MEET
 WITH WHIT AKER
Will Specifically Explain Demand For Camping on
 Sunday Lid.

New Haven, Jan, 2-City Attorney Sheridan ID. Whitaker will meet with representatives of the Pastors union some time today to go over with them again in person their specific complaint against theater pFoprietors in violating the law by keeping open Sunday evenings. The Pastors union this year has made a specific com pialnt in writing, asking the city at- torney tp take action against pro- prietors If they remain epsn, and he has no alternative but to prosecute acGeeding to law those who violate the stautes in question, In all prob ability the theatre men will volun- tarily close Sunday night, as there is little possibility from present indi- cations of any reeedenee from the pastors stand,
 Attorney Whitaker said last night it is not within his province to in fluence the compliments to change tleir attitude. They have put up to him clear violation of the law and unless they decide to withdraw their complaint, which 1t Is not considered likely they will do, he is obliged to prosecute,
 The Pastors union, it is under stood, sent in a month ago a com plaint against the open theatres, which Attorney Whitaker did not consider definite or specific enough in it's charges, but the second one, presented Dec. 2s In writing, but the matter of pF9secutien squareiy up to him.

 Following the conference today inc city attorney will probably notify the theatre owners that they will be prosecuted if they open Sunday. No test has ever been made of a Sunday opening case in this state, except New London, wherein the State vs McMahon, successful prosecution was made of the theatre proprietor, even though he had contended that he took up a silver collection and that the performance was not, there- fore, paid affair and not violating the law.
