T LAUGHTER OF THE ALMIGHTY. Text, "H. that sitteth in the heavens shan laugh."-Ps. 11, 4. Not many can stand ridicule.

Afrrmer found his lost wal let on 0 street on April fools 07 Hundreda passed by, but all snffed the. airar. walked around it with a "you can't fool m$" &ir of wIsdom. They dreaded being laughed at. Sir Walter SCott said ridicule was the dread of his chidhood. It broke poor Keats' heart. There are young men who'd. risk ruin and downfal rather than risk ridicule. - Boys stop going to Sunday school, men to church; if some worthless corner lounger sneers. Had .ohn Alexander Dowle been beatei in the teets of New York and a couple of his folowers. been burned at the sake he would have returned to Zion City dth a thousand converts and $1,00,O. but the newspapers laugh ed at bm. The result is history. The Mockery of Sin. *Consequenes are unpitying," said George 1liot. A fearful sentence! oul death is the consequence of sin. That is what the old book declares, The wages of sin is death." Man Is an engine built to run threescore years 'and ten. Sin cuts down his timr one-half Sin is a cerebro-spinal n that baffles earthly cure. Sin is a boomerang. Strikes when the danger seems over. Sin is a trail of powoer we lay from our house to the train track where the sparks fall. .Thenwe forget. Some day the unex pected happens. The spark and the tral of powder do their work. Yes, .conMequences are unpitying. The acro bat who stooon his head at the edge in the Yosemite, with a clear drop beneath him, the boatman who tries to see- how he dan go toward Bucklhorn island, the Niagara river above -the falls, fair types of the man playing with -Some day the rocks of Yosemite ad the Maid of the Mist will laugh at the foolhardy.

It's e r oanxious anys the .word. Yes, and sin gibes .at fools too. The Laughter of the Almighty. It's an awful thing to have God mecklng at you. God's smile Is pleas ure. God's laughter Is derisive. He often works through natural agencies. Captain Philip of the Texas said the side which fires first shot in a Sunday battle-has always been defeated. Cer vera deliberately chose the hour when the Imerican fleet were at worship --~--...is_ rnnning fight. His battered hulks still ;liesblea ong~ the Antil - . lean shore. Every aslT iea almahouse, Is God's laughter at m-en -who defied him. Men laugh at pani tary laws and typhoid gibes at them. They laugh at social laws and ostra dism taunts them. They laugh at moral law and loathsome disease plagues them. Did 1 say law was * *gibing at them? Possibly the Lawgiver that sitteth In the heavens was hold __ing them in derision. ~'~G~d I Not Mocked" Itis so easy to laghat God's serv ants and their warnings. Men laughed *--at Noah. He was the jest of his day - the old dolt, building his ungainly ark. Many a gibe he' endured. Then the heat lightning of God's displeasure flashed its banner across the darken Then the fountains of the deep were flood? No;' God's laughter! -t goes through the streets of Sodom a midnight. warning. Men laugh the old crank, the old fanatic. Was It fire and brimstone crackling In the suiphurous atmosphere? No; God's laughter! Is that a shriek In the pal ace? No; the laughter of God! There's shout of horsemen and rumble of chariot wheels. "Kill men! Capture women! Whet your swords!" The chariots drag; the harses stumble; the drivers curse; the waters are return lng. Is that mocking? Who Is laugh ing? Godt He that sitteth in the eavens has them in derision. Christ the Jewish rulers of the comn of Titus and Tespasian and the truction of the temple -and that -rusalem will lie In dust and ashes. uh! No one believes that.
