The Uses of Team.
What is the use of them, anyhotv? Why
not substitute laughter? Why not make
. this a world where all the people are well
and eternal strangers to pain and aches?
, What is the use of an eastern storm when
we might have a perpetual nur'westcr?
Why. when a family is put together. not
have them all stay, or if they must be
transplanted to make other lollies, then
have them all live, the family record toll-
ing a story of marriages and births, but of
no deaths? Why not have the harvests
chase email other without fatiguingtoil?
Why the hard pillow, tlldllurd crust, the
hard struggle? It is easy enough to ex-
plain a smile. or u Sllcccss, or a congratu-
lation; but, come now. and bring all your
dictionaries and all your philosophies and
all your religions, and help me explain a
scar. A chemist will tell you that it is
made up of salt and lime and other com-
ponent parts; but he misses the chief in-
gredientsntho acid of a soured life, the
riperiue sting of a bitter memory, the
fragments of a broken heart. 1 will tell
‘ 70!! what a tour is; it is agony in mintion.
Hear then, while I discourse of the listed of
trouble.
m, it is the design of trouble to keep
this world from being too attractive.
Something must be done to make us will-
ing to quit this existence. if it were not
for trouble this world would be agcod

be willing to take a lull“! of this life for a
hundred million years if thurowero no
trouble. The earth cushioned and up-
Jolstcred and pillarcd alld chandeliered

‘ Wewould say: “Let well enough alone.
if you want to die and have your body dis-
.utegruted in tile dust and your soul go
lot on a celestial adventure, then you can
go, but this world is good enough for me!”
You might as well go to a man who has
lust entered the Louvre at.Parls. alld tell
him to hasten oil to the picture galleries
3! Venice or Florence. ”Why," he would
lay, “what is the use of my going there?
There are liomhrmldts and ilubonses and
Raphaels here that I haven't looked at
lot."
No man wants to go out of this world or
)nt of ally house until he has a bettor
mouse. 'i‘o cure this wish to stay here God
must somollow create a disgust for our
surroundings. How shall be do it? lie
lannot adorn! to deface his horizon, or to
:car oil a fiery panel from the sunset, or
20 subtract an author from the water lily,
Jr to banish the pungent aroma from tho
allgponotto, or to drag the t'liiil‘il of the
morning in mire. You cannot expect a
3hrilliophor Wren to mar his own St.
Paul's cathedral, or a Michael Angelo to
Mil out his own “ hast Judgment." or a
Handel to discord bis "lsraci in Egypt."
Ind you cannot expect God to spoil the m‘

Prayer In Trouble.
After a man has had trouble prayer is
with him a taking hold of the arm of God
and crying out for help. I have heard eur-
nest prayers on two or three occasions that
I remember. Once, on tile Cincinnati or
press train. going at 40 miles the hour,
the train Jumped the track, and we were
ucaruehasm tofcet deep, and the men
who, afew minutes before, had been swear-
ing and blaspheming God began to pull
and jerk at the bell rope, and got up on
the backs of the seats, and cried out, ”0
God, save us!" There was another time,
about 800 miles out at sea, onafoundoring
steamer, after the last lifeboat had been
split finer than kindling wood. They pray-
ed then. Why is it you so often hear
people, in reciting the last experience of
some friend, say, “He made the most beau-
tiful prayer I ever heard?" What makes
it beautiful? It is the earnestness of it.
Oh! I tell you, a man is in most when
his stripped and naked soul Nudes out in
tile souudicss, shoreline, bottomless ocean
of eternity. ‘
It is trouble, my friends, that makes us
feel our dependence upon God. We do not
know our own wmlmlruess or God’s strength
until the last plank breaks. It is con.
temptible in us when there is nothing else
to take hold of that we catch hold of Qld
only. Why. you do not know who the Lord
is! 'He is not an autocrat seated far up in
apniuco fronl which he enlarges oncoa
year, preceded by heralds swinging awards
to elem the way. No. lint a Father will~
ing at our call to stand by us in every crisis

some of you business men make me think
of. A young man goes off from home to

gets out of money. He sends for the hotel
kecher where he is staying. asking for le-
nienco, and the answer he gets is, “If you
don't pay up Saturday night, you‘ll be re-
moved to the Marital."
The young man sends ton comrade in
the same building. No help. He writes
to a banker who was afriond of his dc-
ceassd father. .\’o relief. He writes to an
old schoolmate, but gets no help. Sutur-
day night comes, and he is moved to the
hospital.
The Last Resort.
Getting there. he is frenzied with grief,
and he borrows a sheet of paper and a pos-
tage stamp. and hesltsdowu and he writes
home, saying: ”Dear mother. I am sick
unto death. Como." It is ten minutes of
10 o’clock when she gets tho letter. At 10
o’clock the train starts. She is five lulu-
utes from tho dorm. She gets there in
time to have five minutes to spare. She
wonders why a train that can go 80 miles
an hour cannot go till miles an hour. She
rushes into the hospital. Silo Hays: “lily
son, what does all this mean? Why didn‘t
you semi for me? You sent to everybody
but me. You know i could and would
help you. is this the reward I get for my
kindness to you always?" She bundles
him up, takes him home and gets him
well very soon. Now, some of you treat
God just astlult young man treated his
mother. Win-n you got into a financial
perplexiiy. you call on the banker, you
call on the broker, you call on your credit
ore, you call on your lawyer for legal
counsel. you call upon (werybody, and
when yoncannoi get unylu-lp. liu-n you go
to God. You any: "0 Lord. I Will“) to
thee! Help mo now out of lay porpluxlty."
And tho Lord comes, though it is the
eleventh hour. lie says: “Why did you
not send for too before? As one whom
his mother colufnricib, so will I comfort-
yoll.” ll. into throw us back upon God
that we have this ministry of tours.
Again, it is the use of trouble to capac-
itnle us ioribe oillcoof sympathy. 'i‘ilo
priests. under llll‘ old dispensation, were
not apart by having water sprinkled upon
their hands. feet and bond, and by tho
sprinkling of tears people are now set
apart to the oiih-o of sympathy. When we
are in proqwrlty. we like to lmvougreut
many young people around us, and We
laugh will-Ii they laugh and We romp when
they romp, and we sing when they sing,
but when Wu have trouble we like plenty
of old folks around. Why? They know
how to talk.

Jesus had enough trial to make him
sympathetic with all trial. The shortest
verse in the Bible tells the story, “Jesus
wept." The scar on the back at his either
hand, the scar on the arch of either foot,
the row of more along the line of the hair,
will keep all heaven thinking. Oil, that

in another land, but together in diaerent

I never more appreciated that thought
than when we laid away in her last slum-
ber my sister izlfiiiilm Standing there in
the village come , [Jacked around and
said, “There is er, there is mother,
there is grandfather, there is grandmother,
there are whole circles of kindred," and I
thought to myself, “Together in the grave

with the thought that 1 do not think it is
any fanaticism when some one is going
from this world to the next if you make
them the bearer of dispatches to your
friends who are gone, saying, ”Give my
love to my parents, give my love to my
children, give my love to my old comrades
who are in glory, and tell them I am try-
ing to light the good fight of faith, and I
will join them after awhile.” I believe
the message will be delivered, and I be.

they, all their tears gone.
My friends, lake this good cheer home

of trial, are not always to be there. The
motllorly band of Hod will wipe them all
