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

Tk'd languago in which wo offered
. theyJSngllsh nation our condolence is
' 'thp^pajne^ language in which John
Bunyah dreamed .and Milton snug

Blowhard Baxter prayed and George

Wales, now king, paid reverential vis

Vernon, and Longfellow's statue
adorns WoBtniinster abbey, and Abra

upon Sootlnnd's capital. It was nat
v> . ural that those two nations bo in
tears/- But I nm not going to speak
of national tears, but of individual
tears and Bible tears.

Da?vid labeled as containing toars, and
Mary's tears - and Paul's tears and
Christ's tears, and tho harvest of joy
that is to; spring from the sowing of
tears. God mixes them; God rounds
them; UotX oho W's them whero to fall;
God exhales them. 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.

your body disintegrated in the dusUrod
your soul ero out on o celestial inven
ture, then you can go, but this world
ls good enough for me." You might aa
weil go to a man who bas just entered
the Louvro at Paris and tell Id01 to

Venice or Florence. "Why," he would
jay, "what is the uso of my going

looked ot yet." No man wanta to go
?ut of this world or out of any houso
jiutll ho has a bettor -house
To ou re this wish to 6tnyv boro Clod ,
must somehow create a disgust for our
Utrroundlngs. How shall He do it?
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.
After a man has had n good deal of .
trouble be say?: "Well, I am ready to
%o. if there is a house somewhere
Whoso roof does not leak, I would like
to llvo there. If therelsan ntmo&phero
Bomowhere that does not distress tho

whero where I can find my lost friends, .
I would Uko to go there." 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.

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

tho offico of sympathy. When wo

great many young pooplo around ns,
and wo laugh whon they laugh, and
wo romp when thoy romp, and wo
