Sympathy or sorrow' over the misfortune of your friends is alright while ha 13 alive, provi ded you do your best t.o aid him in his distress. Otherwise, your sympathy amounts to nothing and is merely a shallow pretense which you use as a sort of salve for your neglected duty. Now, if you learn that the Widow Jones and her little chil dren are on the verge of star vation it’s all nonsens to get down on your knees and ask the Lord to help them, unless you are absolutely unable to help them yourself. If you have some flour or a thin slab of bacon to spare, carry it over to the helpless fam ily and say nothing to the Lord or anyone else about it. The Lord will probably know it any way, and it is not good taste to get paid for your charitable acts in public praise by advertis ng them in the papers and expect the Lord to reward you four or five times for the flour and bacon. As a matter of iact, the con sciousness of having done your duty is reward enough for any self-respecting man and he should he satisfied with that, for otherwise nis gift would belike til it of the Indian—he would expect full value in return. For some unknown reason the world seems to have reversed the best instincts of the human heart, never die, and unless you die you can never live. I am not prepared to say that extreme grief over the death of a good man is sin, but I am sure God never intended us to view their natural incident in that that light. There are many things worse sent it to the Lord, because the man needs the house and the Lord don’t, for His home is in the hearts of His people. Bro ther let’s think it over.

Is it any wonder that they than death and many better than life. Worldly shame, censure and disgrace drives thousands of un-| sore muscles, fortunates (or guilty) men and women to destruction. The realization that you are loved and cherished by the Lord should be such a joy that you would count your lifeas nothing. The wisest man of all the earth, after draining the cup of happiness to the dregs, declared that “The day of death was bet ter than the day of life.”— Eccle. 7:1. Hence I fail to understand why the world should array itself in holiday attire to welcome the birth of a child and wear sack-! cloth and ashes when a good 1 man, after a long life of toil, sorrow, tribulation and disap pointments, after doing the best he could of h!s full duty, as far as his ability goes and trusting his God for the rest, “draws the drapery of his couch about him and lays down to pleasant dreams.” I would rather be able to build a three-room box house and pre sent it to some poor man to house are overworked and in need of help?
