advocate Of freedom and was one Of
the delegates who signed the ordinance
abolishing slavery, January II, 1865
He had previously, in October 1863
presided at a meeting in the Court
House, to demand a new and immedi-
ate unconditional emancipation con-
stitutional convention to free the

ton. He was also the first public Off
cial to give the Colored man honor

Trouble Won't Last Always


''The sea no longer exists. Rev.
2l:l. { Weymouth's translation J.
@There was no more sea-. (Author-
lied version).
The apostle John, author Of the last
book in the Bible, from which we get
our text, had been ruthlessly torn from
his friends, his home, and his church
in Ephesus and exiled on an island in
the Aegean sea off the coast of Asia
Minor. To say it was most bitter
experience but mildly expresses il.
Not for any wrong that he had COM
mitted, but because his life was, too
consistently Christian did he have to
suffer the treatment that was given
the worst criminals Of his day. Johns
fife and the ideals of his religion were
so out of harmony with existent laws
and customs in Ephesus that his pres
ence became Objectionable to the ex-
tent that he was banished.
The "ditty" we sometimes sing,
@John on the island by himself" is not
true. There were Others on the is
land, but not people who could be
companions for him. With no SYM
pathetic friend with whom he could
talk about his troubles, the exile. for a
while at least, was. all his enemies in

Ephesus. But for the sea he could
nave walked to the scene of his dear
est and best labors between sunset
and sunrise. Therefore, the sea was
the greatest barrier between him and
that which he held most dear among
the things of earth. Its continuous
roar was a constant torment. God al
ways comforts His people. He COM
footed John by revealing to him the
fact that all forces working against
God. be they men or demons, are
bound to fail. He showed John that
Roman rule would be overthrown and
that the time would come when no
roaring sea would lie between him and
the dearest things Of earth. What
God did for John was equal-to saying,
trouble won't last always"
Likewise, my brother, God will COM
fort US il, as John, we trust Him. God
promises to remove whatever, like a
sea, may separate US from happiness.
Sometimes, our sea is sickness One
never knows what boon health is
until sickness overtakes him. Then
he is willing to give away everything
else to obtain good health. But even
to those afflicted BY sickness, God
gives the assurance that trouble
won't last always. Some of us are
Eopelessly i'll. Yet we may be happy.
