L ! The beatitude of Christ shows that j the blessing of sorrow lies in Mie comi fort. A large portion of the liible is : [comfort which can become ours only! I through sorrow. We can say:' I "Blessed is night, for it reveals to us' N | the stars." In the same way we can i I say: "Blessed is sorrow, for it reveals God's comfort." The floods washed | away home and mill?all the poor man had in the world. But as he ! stood on the scene of his loss, after the j water had subsided, brokenhearted 1 land discouraged, he saw something j| shining in the bank which the waters I had washed bare. "It looks like gold," ,i j lie said. It was gold. The flood / )} which had beggared made him rich.; (So it is ofttimes in life. Sorrow strips ' e ! oft* loved possessions, but reveals the 'I I- ' - i ~r | treasures 01 iu? iuve 01 v*?iu. *?c a,^ .g IX'sure, at least, that every sorrow ' that comes bring* to us a gift from ( God, a blessing which may be ours if i we will aceept it. ? Clouds gather in the sky with omin- / n ous threatening; but they puss, and jf leave the'r rich treasure of rain. Then "rf the flowers are more fragrant" the grassj ?\ d- is greener, and all living thiDgs are;/ lovelier. Sorrow comes. There is J I pgony in the heart. There is crape ou ; (\ the door. There is a new grave in j i j God's acre. But all hearts are softer, i j Love is tenderer. Prayers are morelfl I fervent. There is more of heaven in the i ji 11 household life. The cloud has left its j v I treasure of rain. "Blessed are they f.\ i that mourn: for they shall be com-j/j ! forted."?Rev. J. R. Miller. ; jfi Christ the Spirit, is with us, aud hei i 11 lis with us to-day. But are we in har-jC fKof Qnirit? What WG! /I --imim.y ?.ui ? -,r. j nepd today iscontemplation.pious med-l liiitation. If we could take a ranrniniy | '\ |j| i hour and an evenine hour and devote j/| y it to communion with God, did it ever j ii v| occur to you what wonderful Chrisjf j tinns we might be? The need of theVj ,r day is that the pew and pulpit should ' ji k have more time for contemplation. \'\ c!
