Mr.. Key by Mr.. Sickles, the former having

words Of conversation with Mr.. Sickles who
left him as Mr.. Key approached, the latter
coming down the Avenue toward the State

hand toward Mr.. Sickles, saying, How are

"Mr. Sickles married his wife when she

legation at London under Mr.. Buchanan,
introduced her to the Queen, carried her to

ter's "vicarious, voluntary and victori-
ous' suffering fer us. :
Success Follows Struggle.
Jesus was a silent sufferer in all His
trials because He saw that the progress
of His Kingdom. depended upon His
suffering. He was inspired by the Joy
that was set before Him when He en-
dured the cross and despised the shame.
The joys of saving men and lifting the
redeemed ap into fellowship with God,
aid Him in saving the world, was ever
before Him. He saw the end from the
! commencement He win help us by the
Holy Spirit to live lives for His glory
that will be free from sin. Filled with
the power of the Holy Spirit, we will
be used in proclaiming His salvation to
men and reveal unto them by our daily
lives His glory.
God has exalted His servant and
given Him name which is above every
name" because He humbled Himself
and became obedient unto the cross
Our Lord has warned us that In this
world We shall have tribulation. He
has urged US to "be. of good cheer: /
have overcome the world Because He
overcame, we, too, can overcome. We
know that 'if- We suffer with Him we
shall also reign with Him." He SUI
fered alone, but He never permits us
to bear the trials of life alone, for He
Is always with us, ready to help. aid
and assist us so that we can win glory
for Him.
Let US rejoice that the Lord hath
laid on Him the iniquity of US all, and
live such lives that He may rejoice over
cur victories. Let us follow Him in a
life of suffering. sacrifice and struggle
in our efforts to win others for His
service. This will give joy to our Lord
in glory, and He will enable us to con-
quer here and finally enter into the
joys of the eternal life that He has pro-
vided for us in His salvation when the
Man OF Sorrows endured the life of a
suffering servant Of God so that We
might be saved and serve Him. If we
fail in our spiritual life and labor, II
will be because we neglect drawing near
to Him in prayer for daily guidance and
help. Let US follow Him in a life OF
seh-denial, sacrifice and suffering as
servants Of God. so that we may be
