The bereaved have our sympathy
Death i3 a solemn thought, yet
we all must meet the monster.
However if some of us knew how
close it was to us we surely would
lead different lives. There is too
many folks that are taking the
Bible in their own hands and pay
ing its teachings no attention
whatever,and holding themselves
up as Christians- and trying to
block the way, or hinder some
humble servant of God from do
ing what they feel their duty to
do, Yet death is coming to them
and then, oh, then, when they
face the judgment! Such per
sons should read the 4th chapter
of 1 Corinthians, and especially
the sth verse. However, the
Lord says I will repay. The writ
er or iy wants to say if the prin
cipV some folks have and exer
cise, is religian, or in other
words, the grace of God, then
the Bible is a failure and I have
n’t got it, neither do I want it.
Althou ,h I don’t agree with Bro
Brown in everything, yet I heart
ily ini .rse the statement he
made when he said our greatest
trouble was we had too many
people in the Baptist church that
needed to be converted. Surely,
surely, we have folks who never
followed uesus through regener
ation. I say again, we surely
have people who has never put
en that new man the apostle
speaks of. Surely they can’t
understand spiritual things and
are yet camel minded which is
not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be, and the
apostle says for to be carnel
minded is death.
Hoping yet to see people wake
up and come together in broth
erly love, I will close.

Home Circle Column.
Pleasant Evening Reveries —A Column Dedi
cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the
Home Circle at Evening Tide.
A great deal has been said and written about “Mother”
but regardless o* how niuen can be said or how much can
bd written the subject will never be exhausted. A mother’s
love probably comes as near the quality of God’s love for us
as anything we know here on earth.
It is so purely unselfish and so far from anything earthly
that many who have not experienced mother love find it dif
ficult to appreciate. Perhaps they term it foolishness or un
reasoning that a mother should stand by her child through
thick and thin, and that she should always be able to see in
him the same innocence and guilelessness of his childhood.
It may be foolish from the world’s point of view, but it is a
very heavenly thought though to know that there is someone
in the world who believes in you to that extent. It makes
yoa feel like bucking up and justifying that belief. And in
case that “someone” has gone on to a better world, all the
more reason for keeping the faith.
How are we able to measure the good which a rind or an
encouraging word may do? People are getting altogether
too prone to look upon another’s sorrows or misfortune with
a shrug of the shoulders and an its-none-ot-my-affairs atti
tude. Of course, one should not force sympathy where it is
not wanted, or be so profuse with it that the recipient feels
overburdened, but rare indeed is the person who cannot re
member times in his life when a little sympathy, a little un
derstanding, would have saved hours and days and weeks ot
heaitache.
So do not be too sure that another’s trouble or misfortune
is not your affair. Possible when the Book of Life is opened
you may find a large balance on the debit side.
It seems that the majority of people in this world arc either
over confident or they lack confidence. For the over con
fident nothing can be done for their very fault makes them
heedless to anything you might say. They are so sure that
they know much more about it than you for an over-confi
dent man is always a conceited man.
But for those who lack confidence the thing to do is to in
duce them that they have just as much backbone as anyone
else. Pe-haps they can’t feel it before it has become soft
from not being used but it is there just the same. All it needs
is a little exercise.
To these people almost any task looks impossible. They
feci quite inadequate for anything that comes their way. They
never try to do anything because they feel sure they would
fail. Consequently never having tried, they have never had
an opportunity to know whether they would have failed or
succeeded.
There is an old saying whose value most people believe,
has worn itself out. That is, “Every cloud has a silver lin
ing.’’ The truth of the matter is when we are looking at the
cloudy side we haven’t faith to believe in the silver linings
that other clouds have had.
Now that you have time just think of all the clouds that
have sailed across your sky in the past. Haven’t they each
and every one turned inside out and spilled a blessing on you ?
Can’t you trace some good that has come to you from each
one?
The shadow cast by some clouds are very long and you
may not be able to see the silver lining yet but sooner or later
it is bound to show up. Let your faith from other tests prove
to you thac this will be so.
One time in our life we knew a man whose impatience was
his undoing. He was a brilliant man but always impossible
to woik with for he became unbearably impatient with any
one who did not see through things or could not get things
I acdomplished as quickly as himself.
One he was in an accident and both limbs were broken.
He was in bed many weeks and he certainly could see no sil
| ver lining in the cloud that was hanging over him. No so his
! nurse and friends. After the first terrible fortnight his dispo
sition began to improve and he began gradually to improve
and he came out of that experience a changed man. He had
learned the lesson of patience and he had learned that no
cloud, regardless of how black it may appear, is without its
silver lining.
