The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-01-16

God suffers us to be chastened for the protection of moral laws. Christ came not to save us from suffering, but from sin and shame; because only by suffering can character be made stable and strong. Adver- sity is a part of Gods loving gift to mankind because only in diversity do we enlarge our service to others. Without the cross, Jesus could not have been the Christ. If He had shirked and turned aside rather than going to Jerusalem; unless the cross had lifted up Jesus of Nazareth, the world could have forgotten Him; hut because of the bitter cross, man never has, and never forget Him.
 The Christian in his response to diversity, never accepts it. He fights against, seeks to overcome 1t, and whether it be physical, mental, or spiritual, endeavors to transform it into Joyous success. The Christian seeks to work out his own salvation, never forgetting he is a soldier of

DIR. DAY BREACHES ON
 s.JICTNG ADVFRSIT

Adversity disciplines character, said Dr. Day, and no mans character Was ever ct its best without it. Pain is the great moral policeman of the moral law. Sin produces pain, all though it may not be my sin that produces my pain. We are so bound together that the other mans sin may cause my pain. or my sin might bring pain, tribulation, diversity to another Other pain comes from mis- +ates that are due to lack of iudg- ment, and do not involve any failure to live up to the moral requirements we know. None entirely escapes the penalty of his sin, but it is also true that none entirely bears the pen atty of his sin. Adversity not only warns us when we get off the track, but it also leads us back to the God from whom we are likely to slip away.
 God chastens us, not that He may satisfy his own revengefu1 spirit or his own irritation; but because He has ordained world of moral law, and when we defy that law, we al- ways inevitably. and usually. imme diate1y suffer. That kind of discf- plinary pain is corrective; so that we realize that as a part of His love,
