are the facts. An 1 now I have to say
that, in a world like this, the grandest
occupation is that of giving condolence.
This holy science of imparting comfort
to the troubled we all of us ought to
study. There are many of you who
could look aronnd upon your very best
friends, who wish you well and a#
very intelligent, and yet be able truth
fully to say to them in your days of
trouble, “Miserable comforters are ve
all.”
I remark, in the first place, that very
voluble people are incompetent for the
work of giving comfort. Dildad and
Elijah had the gift of language,

Again, I remark there is comfort in
.e thought that God, by all this pro-
!ss, is going to make you useful. Do
on know that those who accomplish
their words almost bothered .lob’s life
out of him. Alas for those voluble peo
ple that go among the houses of the af-
dieted and ulk, and talk, and talk and J w j J0
talk! They rehearse their own sorrows, | )*«.„ h
and then they tell the poor sufferers that j

worse afterawhile. Silence! Doyonex-|
nect the thin court-plaster of words to
heal a wound deep as the soul? Step
very gently round about a broken heart.
Talk very softly round those whom
God has bereft. A firm grasp of the
hand, a compassionate look, just one
word that merns as much as a whole
dictionary, and yon have given perhaps
all the comfort that a soul needs. A
man has a terrible wound in his arm.
The surgeon comes and hinds it up.
“Now," he says, “carry that arm in a
sling, and be very careful of it. Let no
have heard of the accident, and they
come in and they say: “Let us sec it.”
And the bandage is pulled off and this
one and that one must feel it, and see
how much it it swollen; an l there is

dages here and pulling them off there,
leaving a ghastly wound that the balm
of God’s grace had already begun to
heal. Oh, let no loquacious peop!<
with ever-rattling tongue, go into th
houses of the distressed.
Again, 1 remark that all those pei
sons are incompetent to give any com
fort who act merely as worldly philos
ophers. They come in and say: “Why
this is what you ought to have expect
ed. The laws of nature must have their
way.” Then they get eloquent

when you could not weep, and yon

for Absolom. Abraham did well when
ha mourned for Sarah, Christ did well
when he wept for Lazarus, and the lat
man that I want to see come anywhere
near when 1 have any kind of trouble
is a worldly philosopher.
Again I remark that those persons
are incompetent for the work of *
fortbearing who have nothing but
to offer. There are those who hav

hearses through that poor soul,
not tell them that trouble was foreor

know it was a million years coming. If
you want to find splints for a broken
bone do not take cast iron. Do not
tell them it ia God’sjnstice that weigh

God’s tender mercy. In other words,
do not give them aquaifortis when they

Then they brought out a bar of iron

then they pat it between jaws that hit

enterprises of civilization. That’s the
reason we pound yon.” Now, God puts

it :s brought out and run through the

there will be a thousand spirits to

Oh, ye bereft souls! there will be no

gladness, argosies of light going down
