W.mniXGTON, May 22. The awkward
mil IrritHtlag inode of trying to comfort
fieopk- in tr.,u.d is In-re s-t forth by Dr.
i'alaiage, ami a ix-tter way of deali ’with
l>r»>ken he-xits is recommen'led; tr*. I. .Job
x .l, 2, "Miserable comforters are ye all.”
t'hc man ol Uz had n grvxt many trials
—the 10.,s of hie family, tin; loss of his
pro(> rty. the loss of lus hetilth—but the
ini--t eiacjH-mting tiling that came ujsm
him waa the talk, of thoke who
ought to have sympathized with him
And looking around upon them, anil
weighing wliat they hatl said, he utters
the words of my text.
Why did God lot sin cdlne into the
world!' It is a question I often hmr dis
•ussed, but never satisfactorily answered
God made the world lair ami beautiful al
tim start If our first jaio nt.- had not
t-innivl in Eden, t hey might have gone out
of that garden ami found 50 par.ulise all
around the earth—Europe, Asia, Africa.
North and South America—so many flow
er gardens or orchards of fruit, redolent
md luscious. 1 suppose that when God
jxiured out the Gihon and the Hiddekel he
;»ouml out at the same time the Hudson
and the Susquehanna. The whole earth
was very fair and Ix autiful to look upon.
Why did it not stay so? God had the pow
er to keep back sin and woe. Why did he
not, keep them back? Why not every cloud
rosoatc, and every step r» joy, and every
sound music, and all thcuges a long jubi
lee of sinless men and sinle.-:.-women? God
can make a rose as easily as he can make
a thorn. Why, then, the predominance of
.horns? He can make good, fair, ripe
•cult as well as gnnrlcd and sour fruit
Why so much, then, that, is gnarled and
-our? He cun make men robust in health
Why, thin, are there so many invalids?
vVhy not have ior our whole race perpetual
leisure instead of this tug and toil ami
tussle for a livelihood? I will tell you why
G<xl let sin come into the world—when i
get on the other side of the river of death
That is the place where such questions
will lie answered and such mysteries
■iolved. He who this side that, river at
tempts to answer the question only illus
trates his Own ignorance and inconqx -
te.ncy. Ail 1 know is one great fact, and
*hi .t is, that n herd of woes has come hi
ipon <1... trumpling down everything fair
•nd bra.ut.iiul. A sword at the gate of
Eden anil a sword at every gale.
More jieople under the ground than on
it. The graveyards in vast majority. The
1,000 winters have made more scars than
ho 6,000 summers can cover up. Trouble
as taken the tender heart of this wori-i
nr its two rough hands and pinched it un
til the nations wail with the agony. If all
i ho mounds of graveyards that have been
raised were put side l-y side, you might
top on them and nothing else, going nil
Hound the world, and around again, and
wound again. These are the facts. Ami
now I have to say that in a world like
his the grandest occupation is that of giv
mg condolence. The holy science of im
;>n.rting comfort to the troubled we ought
ill of us to study. There are many of you
vho could look around upon some of your
very best friends, who wish you well and
ire very intelligent, ami yet Lie able truth
ully to say to them in your days of tfou
de, “Miserable comlorters tire ye till.”
No Comfort In rtlueh Talking.
1 remark, in the first place, that ver,'
oltiblo people are incompetent for the
York of giving comfort. Biidad and Eli
>haz had the gift of language, and with
heir words almost bother .Job’s life cut
Vlas for those voluble people that
unong the houses of the afflicted ami talk
md talk and talk and talk. They rehearse
heir own sorrows, and then they tell the
,oor sufferers that they feel badly now,
out they will feel worse after awhile. Si
.■nee! Do you expect with a thin court
ilaster of words to heal a wound deep as
he soul? Step very gently around about
i broken heart. Talk very soft ly around
those whom God has bereft. Then go your
•vay. Deep sympuvhy has not much to
ay. A film grasp of the hand, a compas
donate look, just one word t hat means as
nueh as a whole di( tiongry, ami you have
;iven perhaps till the comfort t.b.at a soul
leads A man has a terrible wound in his
.rm. The surgeon comes and binds it up
’Now,” he says, ‘ cany that arm in a
ling and be very careful of it. Let. no one
.ouch it.” But the neighbors have heard
it’ the. accident, and they come in, and
hey say, “Let us see it.” And the band
ige is pulled off, atid this one and that one
-nust- feel it and see how much it is swol
en, and there are irritation and inllanima
iion and exasperation wltere there ought
io be healing and cooling. The surgeon
•omes in and says: “What docs all this
men? You have no business to touch those
bandages. That wound will never heal
unless you let it alone. ” So there are sett Is
broken down in sorrow. What they most
want is rest or very careful and gentle
treatment, but the neighbors have heard
>f the bereavement or of the lose, and they
come in to sympathize, and they say:
"Show us now the wound. What were his
last words? Rehearse nowthe whole scene.
How did you feel when you found you
were an orphartf" Tearing off the band
ages here and pulling them off there, leav
ing aghast ly wound that the balm of God’s
grace had already begun to heal. Oh, let
.to loquacious is'ople, with ever rattling
tongues, go into the homes of the dis-
Again, I remark that all those persons
are incompetent to give any kind of com
fort who act merely as worldly philoso
phers. They come in and say : ” Why, this is
what you ought to have expected. The
laws of nature must have their way.”
And then they get eloquent over some
thing they have seen in postmortem ex
aminations. Now, away with all human
philosophy at such a time! What differ
ence does it make to that father and moth
er what disease their son died of? He is
dead, and it makes no difference whether
the trouble was in the epigastric or hypo
gastric region. If the philosopher be of
the stoical school, he will come and say:
“You ought to control your feelings. You
must not cry so. You must cultivate a
cooler temperament. You must have self
reliance, self government, self control”—-
an iceberg reproving a hyacinth for hav
ing a drop of dew in its eye. A violinist
has his instrument, and he sweeps his fin
gers across the strings, now evoking
strains of joy’and now strains of sadness.
Ho cannot play all the tunes on one string.
The human soul is an instrument of a
thousand strings, and all sorts of emo-
were made to play on it. Now an
anthem, now a dirge. It is no evidence of
weakness when or e is overcome of sorrow
Edmund Btlrke was found in the pasture
field with his arms around a horse’s neck,
caressing him, and some one said, “Why,
the great man has lost his mind.” No;
the hoi’s.' lielongod to h's son, who had re
i cently ditxl, and his great heart broke over
the grief. It is no sign of weakness that
men are overcome of their sorrows. Thank
God for the -n'lief of tears. Have you never
been in trouble when you could not wi.-p
I and you would haw given any riling for a
j cry? David did well when he mournol fur
i Absalom, Abraham did well when lie h->-
moaned Sarah. Christ wept for Lazarus,
and the last man that 1 want to sec come
anywhere near me when 1 have any kind
of trouble is a worldly nhilosophig-
Again, I renuivk that those jk'fsous are
incompetent for the work of comfort bear
ing who have nothing but cant tu offer.
I There are those who have the idea that
I you must groan over the distressed and
■ afflicted. There are times in grief when
> one cheerful face, dawning upon a man’s
i soul, is worth <•!.UiiO to him. Do not whine
! over the afflicted. Take the promises of
' the gospel and utter them in a manly
i tone. Ik» not be afraid, to smile if you feel
' like it. Do not drive itny more hearses
through that poor soul. Do not tell him
the trouble was foreordained. It will not
be any comfort to know it was n million
years coming. If you want to find splints
for a broken bone, do not take cast iron.
Do not tell them it is God s justice that
weighs out grief. They want to hear of
God’s tender mercy. In other words, do
not give them aquafortis when they need
valerian.

Sympathy of Thow Who iinvp HnWered.
Again. I remark that those persons are
poor comforters who have never had any
trouble themselves. A larkspur cannot
lecture on the nature of a snowflake; it
never saw a snowflake, and those people
who have always lived in the summer of
prosperity cannot talk to those who art-
Ji-.izen in disaster. God keeps aged people
in the world 1 think, for this very w r ork
of sympathy They have been through all
those trials They know all that which
irritates and all that which soothes. If )
lh'-re are men and women here who have !
old jxxiple in the house or near at hand, j
so that they can easily roach them, Icon- i
gi-.itiil.tli- you. Some of us have had trials ■
in life, and although we have had many I
frk-iMb around about us we have wishtxl I
that father and mother w re still alive j
that we might go and tell them Perhaps
they could not say much, but it would
hat r*. Ixs.-n such a comfort to have them
around. These agist ones who have been
all through the trials of life know how to
give condolence. Cherish them; let they
haul on your arm, these aged people. If
when you speak to them they cannot hear
just what you say the first time, and you
have to say it a second time, when you
say it a second time do not say
If you do, you will be sorry for it on the
day when you take the last look and brush
back the silvery locks from the wrinkled '
brow just before they screw the lid on.
Blessed lie God for the old people! They
may not have much strength to go around
but, they are God’s appointed ministers of
comfort to a broken heart.
People who have not had trials them
selves cannot give com fort toothers. They
may talk very beautifully, and they may
give you n great deal of poetic eentiment;
but, while poetry is perfume that smells
sweet, it makes a very poor salve. If you
have a grave in a pathway, and somelvody
comes and covers it all over with flowers,
it is a grave yet. Those who have not had
grief thenis'-b '-s know not the mystery of
a broken heart. They know not the
meaning of ehil.llc.ssness, and the having
no one to put to Ixxl at night or the stand
ing iii it room where every book and pic
tun- and do->r is full of memories—the
doormat whore she sat the cup out of
which she drank, the place wnereshostood
at the door and cliqip-Mi her hands, the odd
figures that sho scribbled, the blocks sho
built into a house. All, no, you must
have trouble yourself tieforo you can com
fort trouble in others. Bat come all ye
who have been bereft and ye who have
been comforted in your sorrows and stand
around those afflicted souls ami say to
them: “I had that- very sorrow myself.
God comforted me, and lie will comfort
you.” And that will go right to the spot.
In other words, to coin fort others we must
have faith in God, practical experience
and good, sound common sense,.
But there are three or four considera
tions that I will hiing to those wtio are
sorrowful and distre-sed and that we cun
always bring to them, knowing that they
will effect a cure. /And the first consider
ation is that God sends out troubles in
love. I often hear people in their troubles
say, “Why, I wonderwhntGod has aganist
mo?” They seem to think God has some
grudge against tJiem because trouble and
misfortune have come. Oh, no! Doyon
not remember that passage of Scripture,
“Whom the Lord lovoth he chasteneth?”
A child comes in with a very bad splinter
in its hand, and you try to extract It. It
is a very p»iinful operation. The child
draws back from you, but you persist.
You are going to take- that splinter opt, so
you take the child with a gentle but firm
grasp, for although there may be pain in
it tin' splinter must come out. And it is
love that dictates it. and makes you persist.
My friends, I really think that nearly all
our sorrows in this world arc only the
hand of our JJather extracting some thorn.
If all these sorrows were sent by enemies,
1 would say arm yourselves against them
and as in trojsica.l climes when a tiger
conies down from t-he mountains and car
vies off a child from the village the neigh
bors band together and go into the forest
and hunt the monster so 1 would have
you, if I thought these misfortunes were
sent by an enemy, go out and battle
against them. But no, they come from a
Father so kind, so loving, so gentle that
the prophet, speaking of his tenderness and
mercy, drops the idea of a father ami says,
“As one wfipm his mother comforteth, so
will I comfort you ”
Comfort Ju Usefulness.
Again, I remark there is comfort in the
thought that God by all this process is go
ing to make you useful. Do you know
that those who accomplish the most for
God and heaven have all been under the
harrow? Show me a man that has done
anything for Christ in tliisda.y in a jgiblic
or private place who has had no trouble
and whose path has been smooth. Ah, no!
1 once went through an ax factory, and
I saw them take the bars of iron and
thrust them into the terrible furnaces.
Then beswoated workmen with long tongs
stirred the blaze. Th.cn they brought out a
bar of iron and put it in a crushing ma
chine, and then they put it between jaws
that bit it in twain. Thon they put it on
an anvil, and there were great hammers
swung by machinery—each one half a ton
in weight—that went thump, thump,
thump! If that iron could Rave spoken, it
would said: ’’Why all this beating?
Why must I be pounded any more than
any other irony” The workmen would
have said, AVe want to make axes out of
you, keen sharp axes--axes with which to
hew down the forest and build the ship
and erect houses and carry on a thousand
enterprises of civilization. That is the
reason we pound you.”
Now, God puts a soul into the furnace
of trial, and then it is brought out and
run through the crushing machine, and
then it comes down on the anvil and upon
it, blow after blow, blow after blow, until
the soul cries out, “O Lord, what does all
this mean?” God says: “I want to make
something very useful out of you. Ynq
Shall be something to hew with and some
thing to build with. It is a practical proc
ess through which I am putting you.”.
Yes, my Christian friends, we want more
tools in the church of God, not more
wedges to split with, We have enough of
these. Not more bores with which to
drill. Wo have too many bores. AVhat we
really want is keen, sharp, well tempered
axes, and if there be any other way of
making them than in the hot furnace, and
on the hard anvil, and under the heavy
hammer, Ido not know what it is. Re
member that if God brings any kind of
chastisement upon you it is only to make
you useful. Do not sit down discouraged
and say I have no more reason for liv
ing. I wish I were, dead.” Oh, there never
was so much reason for your living as
now! By this ordeal you have been eon
secrati'd a priest of the most high Gofi
| Go out and do your whole work for the
1 Master.
Again, there is comfort in the thought
that aii our troubles are a revelation.
Have you ever thought of it in that con
nection? The man who has never been
through chastisement is ignorant about a
thousand things in his soul he ought to
know. For inst:»ace, here is a man who
prid< - himself on his cheerfulness of char
acter. He has no piiti.'n.-. with anylxsdy
who is in spirits. Oh. it is easy
ior him to be cheerful with his fine house,
bis Idled wardrobe and well strung instru
ments of music, end tapestried parlor and
plenty of money in the iiarik waiting for
some jH-rmanent Investment' It is easy
for him to lx.- cheerful But t-uppose
' his forttyne goeA to pieces and his house
' goes down under the sheriff’s hammer
and the banks will not have anything to
do with his pay'd*. Supp-use those people
who wee- 'ip.ee el. grn.th enu-rtained at his
v'.bb get so nhorishied that they cannot
re-.-.igtiizv him upon the street. How
: then? Is it so easy to be cheerful?
It- is easy to G- ciic. Gul in the home after
the day s work i> de»ne, and the gas is
turnixi on, and the house is full us romp
ing little ones. But sa; iss-o the piano is
shut ivv-gms - the iingets that phsyetl on it
«ill no mciv tou-. h th< k< \>. and the child
ish VGie« that -i.-ked so many questions
will ask no more. Then is* it so easy?'
II hen a man v. .fives up and finds that his
I yesources are all g-,ne, he begins to rebel,
; and he ’Gudis hard: God is out
rageous. He had no business to do this to
me." My friends, those iff us who have
been throiigh trouble kn->\v what a sinful
; and retK’liious heart we have, and how
much God has to put up with, and how
much we need pardon. It is only in the
i light of a flaming furnace that we can
i learn our own weakness and OUXOWU lack
of moral rcjoiiive.
MACON NEWa MONDAY EVENING,"MAY’23 1898.
Glories of Reunion.
lhere Is also a great deal of comfort in
the fact that there will be a»fMufly recon
struction in abetter plauc iVom Scotland
or England or Ireland a child emigrates to
America. It is very hard jmrting, but he
comes, after awhile writing home as to
what a good land it is. Another brother
cona-s. a sist.-r comes, and another, and
alu r awhile the mother coiue, and after
awhile the lather comes, and now they are
all hen-, and they have a time of great
congratulation and a very pleasant re
union. ' Well, it is just so with our fam
ilies. They are emigrating -toward a bet
ter land. Sow one goes out. Oh, how
hunt it is to part with him! Another goes.
Oh, how hard it is to putt with her! And
another and another, and we ourselves
will after awhile go over, and then we will
be together. Oh, what a reunion! Do you
believe that? ’Yes,” you say Oh, you
do not! Yi.u do not believe it as you be
lieve Other things. If you do, and with the
same emphasis, why it would take nine
teuths of your trouble off your heart. The
fact is heaven to many of us is a great fog.
It is away off somewhere, filled with an
uncertain and indefinite jxijiulatioa. That
is the kind of heaven that many of us
dream about, but it is'the most tremen
dous fact in all this universe—this heaven
of the gospel. Our departed friends are
not afloat. The residence in which you
live is not so real as the residence in which
they stay. You are afloat—you who do
not know in the morning what will hap
pen before night. They are housed and
safe forever. Do not therefore pity your
departed friends who have died in Christ.
They do not need any of your pity. You
might as w< 11 send a letter of condolence
to Queen Victoria on her obscurity or to
the Rothschilds on their poverty as to pity
those who have won the palm. Do not say
of those who are departed; “Poor child!”
“Poor father!” “Poor mother!” They
are not poor. You are poor, you whose
homes have been shattered, not they. You
do not dwell much with your families in
this world, fi.ll day long you fire off to
business. VZill it not Lie pleasant when
you can be together all the while? If you
have had four children and one is gone,
and anybody asks how many children you
have, do not be so infidel as to say three.
Say four—one in heaven. Do not think
that the grave is unfriendly. You go into
your room and dross tor some grand enter
tainment, and you come forth beautifully
appareled, and the grave is only the place
where we go to dross for the glorious res
urrection, and we will come out radiant,
mortality having become immortality.
Oh, how much condolence there is in this
thought! I expect to see my kindred in
heaven—l expect to see them just as cer
tainly as I expect tirgo home today. Ayo,
I shall more certainly see them. Eight or
ten will conie up from the graveyard back
of Somerville, and one will come from the
mountains back of Amoy, China, and an
other will come up from the sea off Cape
Hatteras, and UO will come up from Green
wood, and I shall know them better than
I ever knew them iiere.
And your friends—they may bo across
the sea, but the trumpet that sounds hero
will sound there. You will come up on
just the same day. Some morning you
have overslept yourself, and you open your
eyes and see that the sun is high in the
heavens, and you say, ” 1 have overslept,
and I must be up and away.” So you will
open your eyes on the morning of the res
urrection in the full blaze of God’s light,
and you will say, "I must be up and
away.” Oh, yes, you will come up, and
there will lie a reunion, a reconstruction
of your family! I like what Haliburton (I
think it was) —good old Mr. Haliburton—
silid in his last moments, “I thank God
that I ever lived, and that I have a father
in heaven, and a mother in heaven, and
brothers in heaven, and sisters in heaven,
and 1 am now going up to see them.”
I remark once more: Our troubles in
this world are preparative for giory. What
a transition it was for Paul—from the
slippery deck of a foundering ship to the
calm presence of Jesus! What a transition
it was for Jjatimer—from the stake to a
throne! What a transition it was for Rob
ert Hall—from insanity to glory! What a
transition it was for Richard Baxter—
from the dropsy to the “Saint’s Everlast
ing Rest!” And what a transition it will
be for you—from a world of sorrow to a
work! of joy! John Holland, when he was
dying, said: “What means this brightness
in the room? Have you lighted the can
dles?” “No,” they replied, “we have not
lighted any candles.” Then said he,
“Welcome heaven!” The light already
beaming upon his pillow. Oh, ye who are
persecuted in this world, your enemies will
get off the track after awhile and all will
speak well of you among the thrones! Ho,
ye who are sick now. No medicines to
take there. One breath of the eternal hills
will thrill you with immortal vigor. And
ye who are lonesome now. There will be
a million spirits to welcome you into their
companionship. Oh, ye bereft souls!
There will be no gravedigger’s spade that
will cleave the side of that hill, and there
will be no dirge wailing from that temple.
The river of God, deep as thu joy of heaven,
will roll on between banks odorous with
balm, and ovi r depths bright with jewels,
qilfi. under skies roseate with gladness,
argosies of light going down the. stream to
the stroke of glittering oar and the song of
angels! Not one sigh, tn the wind; not
one tear niingling with the waters.
A Texas Wonder.

The Criticism
; On clothing made by us is always Gvcr
i Me. Men who have been for years adicted
to the "ready made” habit succumb to the
. fasrinaticn of a perfect fitting suit when
they learn that it costs no more than the
I other kind
I Our ffl.q ’a;, of suitings and traust-rings
for summer wear is worth looking at.
■ Come in and see the prevailing styles. We
won’t ask you to order.
We spare our customers much trouble in
fitting, etc., but we don’t spare ourselves.
Tise utmost care is taken to make gar
ments that are satisfactory to our cus
tomers.

Spring is Here
And with it comes the thoughts of cool
refreshing Beer. It is the only thing to drink in the
spring, and, in fact, any time of the year. Good Beer, such
as we make, puts life and strength into the body. Our
Beer is more than good; it is the best made, because it is
made of the. best hops and malt that can be bought. Better
send us your order.
