Discoursing: on1 "Tho Ministry of Tears," ho put the misfortunes of Ufo lu a cheerful light, ?bowing- that if they were homo In tho right spirit they might provo to he advantages. His toxt was Hov, vii., 17; "And God shall wipe away all ileura from their eyes." WhaV'a Bpc?taclo ? few weeks ago when tho nations woro in tears I Queen Viot?ria ascended from tbo highest throne on earth to a throuo in Heayeh. .. i Tho ? prayer moro of ton offered than any prayer for tho' last Ci year* had boen answered, and God dldheaVd the queen. AH round Ibo wprld tho hells wore tolling, and tlvo minute guns woro booming at tho obsequies of tho most honored wom an of many centuries. As near four years ago tho English and American nations shook hands In eougi'ntula tion at tho queWs* Jubilee, ? Bo->in these timos two nations shook hands In mournful sympathy at tho queen's fleg^r turo. , No i people outside Great Britain so deeply felt that mighty grief as our poople. Tho cradles of many of our ancestors wcro rocked In Great Britain. Those ancestors played in childhood on the banks of tho Tweed or tho Thames or tho Shannon. Take from our veins tho English blood or the Welsh blood or tho Irish blood or tho Scotch ?blgiojU*n?**"the stream of our lifo .'"would bo a mero shallow.

A census is taken of them, ,and there is a rooord as to th?:!mor?.ont? when they wcro born and as to tho place of thoir grave. Tears of bad mon aro not kopt.

Ho oaunot afford to efface His horizon or to tear off a fiery panel from tho sunset or to subtract an anther from thc water Illy or to banish the pungent afoma from the mignonette or to drag tho robes of tho morning in mire. You cannot expect a Christopher Wron to mar his own St. Paul's earhodrnl or a Michael Angelo to dash out his own "Last Judgment" or a Handel to dis cord his "Israel in Egypt," and you can not expect God to spoil the architecture and muslo of His own world. How, tilden, are wo to bo mado willing to leave? Here ls where trouble comes In.

He used to read tho first part of the Blblo chiefly; now ho reads the last part of tho Bible chiefly. Why has he changed Genesis for Revelation? Ah, ho used to be anx ious chiefly to know how this world" Wo? made and all about its geological con struction. Now hs ls chiefly anxious to know how ibo next world was made and how it looks and wlfoltvo there and how they dress. - Ho reade Revelation ten times uow where ho reads Genesis ouco. The old story, "In the beginning God created tho heavens and tho earth," does notthrill him half as much ns the olhor story, "I saw a new Heaven and a new earth." Tho old man's hand trembles as he turns over thiB.apoo alyptloal leaf, and ho has to tako out his handkerchief to wlpo his spectacles. That book of Revolatlon ls A prospeoiu's now of the country Into whloh he is loon to Immigrate; the country in whloh ho has lots already laid out and avenues opened and mansions built. It ls trouble, my friends, that makes us feel our dependence upon God. Wo do not know our own weaknessor God's strength until the last plank breaks. It ls contemptible in us that only whim there is nothing else to take hold of we oatch hold of God. Why, do you know who tho Lord is? He is not an autoorat, seated far up in a palace, from which He emerges once a year, preceded by heralds swinging swords to clear the tray. No. He is a father, willing at our call to stand by us in every crisis and predicament of life. I tell you what somo qf;r you -business men mako me think of. ? juan is unfortunate in his business. ' He has to raise a good deal of money, and ralso lt quickly. Ho bor rows on 'wbrd. and note all ho can bor row. After awhile he puts a mortgago on his house. .After awhile ho puts a second mortgago on his house. Then he makes over his life Insurance. Then he assigns all his property. Then he gucs to his father-in-law and asks for help. Well, having failed everywhere, completely failed, he gets down on his knees and says: "Oh, Lord, I ha.ve tried everybody and everything; now help mo out of this financial trouble." He makes God tho last resort Instead of the first resort, ? _ Again, lt I5-?ho uso of trouble to capacitate'us for tho offico of-sym pathy. Tho priests, under the old dispensation, wore set apart by hav ing water sprinklotl \ipon thoir hands, feet and head, and by tho sprinkling of tears people ai*o now set apart to tho offico of sympathy. When wo aro in prosperity, wo liko to havo a great many young pooplo around ns, and wo laugh whon they laugh, and wo romp when thoy romp, and wo sing when they sing, but whon wo havo trouble we liko plenty of old folks around. Why? They knowhow to talk. Tako on aged mother, 78 years of ago, and she ls almost om-, nipotont in comfort. Why? Sho has boen through lt all.

Sho has been doc toring all her life, spreading plasters and pouring out bittor drops and shaking up hot pillows and contriv ing things to tempt a poor appetite. Drs. Abernethy and Rush and Hosftok and Harvey were great dootors, but the greatest doctor tho world over saw is an old Christian woman.
