And looking*aroaad upon them an i weigh ing what he had said, be utters the words of my text. Whr did God let sin come into the world? it is a question I often hear discas^ed, bet never satis factorily. if our first parents had not sinned in Eden, they might have gone t garden and found fifty para a man wakes np and finds that his re sources are all gooe he begins to rebel, and he says: “God ia hard; God ia ootrageotuand Hehadno bnsineeatodo that to me!” My friends, tboee of vs who hare been through trouble, know what a sinful and rebellious heart we bare and how much God has to pvt vp with and how much we need pardon. It is only in the light of a flaming fur nace that we can learn our own weak ness and onr own lack of moral resource. There is a great deal of comfort in the fact that there will be a family re- had trials in life, and al- j construction in a better place.

If you did, and with the same emphasis, it would take nine-tenths of your trouble off your heart. The fact is, heaven to many of us is a great (Jg, and is away off some where, fiilei with an uncertain and in definite population. That is the kind of heaven that many of us dream about but it is the most tremendous fact in all the unirerse, this heaven of the gos pel. Our departed friends are not afloat. The residence in which yon live is not so real as the residence in which yon stay You are afloat. You, who do not know in the morning what will hap pen before night. forever. Do not therefore, pity your departed friends who have died in Christ. They do not need any of yonr pity. You might as well send a letter of con dolence to Queen Victoria rity, or to the Itothschilds on their pov erty, as to pity those who have won the palm. Do not say of those who are de parted, “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. All day long you are off to bus iness. Will it not be pleasant when you can be together all the while? If you have had four children, and one is ybody asks how many hillre . do t nfidel The child draws back from , but v i pern Yo aronnd again, and around again. Tb< 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, de by side, for# though there m on nothing , the » p lj nter m u„t ^ ^ i love that dictates it a * j sist. My friends, I i »o; they come: ui gentle, that His tenderness dea of a Paths allv think that > in this world hand of our Father ex- s thorn. If all these sor- nt by enemies, I should rself against them. Put e from a Father so loving, the prophet speaking of and mercy, drops the lomfortcd, so will I 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 r feel ha«lly now, but they will feel 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 irritation and inflamation where there ought to he healing and cooling, theie are souls broken down in so What they most want is rest, or careful and gentle treatment, neighbors have heard of the bereave ment, or of the loss, and they come ir to sympathize. Tearing off the ban 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 something they have seen in pat tern examinations. Now, away all human philosophy at such a time! What difference does it make to the fa ther and mother wbat disease their son died of? He is dead, and it makes difference whether the trouble was epigastric or hypogastric region. uder the harrow? Show me at has done anything for Chrii day, in a public or private place, s do trouble, and whose path ha* nooth. Ah, no! What useles* we are until sanctified trouble us. I once went through an axe factory, and I saw them take the bare olds vidence of weakness when one overcome by sorrow. It is no sign weakness that men arc overcome w their sorrows. Thank God for the relief of tears. Have yon never been in trouble when you could not weep, and yon would have given anything for a good cry? David did well when he mourned 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 idea that yon most groan over the dis tressed and afflicted. There in grief when one cheerful lace dawning upon a man’s soul ia wflrtha thousand dollars to him. Do not whine the afflicted. Take the promises of the gospel and utter them in a manly tone. Do not be afraid to smile if yon feel like it. Do not drive any hearses through that poor soul, not tell them that trouble was foreor dained. It will not be any comfort to 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 out grief. They want now to hear of God’s tender mercy. In other words, do not give them aquaifortis when they need valerian.

Then they brought out a bar of iron and path into a crnshing-machine, and then they pat it between jaws that hit in twain. Then they put it on an vil,’ and there were great hammers ung by machinery—each one a half n in weight—that went thump! thump! thump! If that iron coaid have ipoken, it would have said; “Why all this beating? Why must I be pound ed any more than the other iron.”— The workmen would have said: “We want to make axes ont of yon—keen, sharp axes; axes with which to hew down the forest and build the ships and erect houses and carry on a thousand enterprises of civilization. That’s the reason we pound yon.” Now, God puts a soul into the furnace of trial, and then it :s brought out and run through the crashing machine, and then it came down on the anvil and npon it blow af ter blow, blow after blow, and the sonl cries out: “O, Lord, what does all this mean?” God says: “I want to make something %-ery nsefnl oat of Yon should be something to hew and something to build with.
