W hv did 1 »i»d let sin into Ili» world? Ili.-»a question I often hear di»ru«ed, hut never satisfactorily answered (h»d made tlu* world fair and ieautiful at. tin* start. If our Jirst parent* had not shmed in Kden, they might havo gone out of that garden and found lifty paradises all around the earth—Kurope, Asia, Africa. North and South America so many ll»wer garden.*. or orchards of fruit, redolent and luscious. I suppose that when (Sod poured out the lihon and the liiddekrl he poured out at the same titne the Hudson and the Susquehanna the whole earth \\a*\ery fair and lenutifiil to h»ok upon. Why did it not stay so/ (hd had the power to kn»p hack sin and woe. Why did

Why. then, the predominance "f thorns.' He can make good. fair, ripo fruit ns well as gnarled and sour fruit. Why mi much, then, that is gnarled and sour? Ho can make men rohust in health. Why, then, are there so many invalids/ Why not havo for our wholo race perpetual leisure, instead of this tug nnd toil and tussle for a livelihood? 1 will tell you why CJod let sin come into tho world—when I get on tho other side of tho River of Death. That is the place whero such questions will lo answered and such mysteries solved. He who this side that river attempts to answer the question only illustrates his own ignorance and incompetency. All I know is one great fact, and that is, that a herd of woes have *01110 in ujon us trampling down everything fair and beautiful. A sword at the Rati* of Eden, and a sword at every pate. More jeoplo unlet' tho ground than on it. The gravo yards in vast majority. The six thousand winters have made more scars than the six thousand summers can cover up. Trouble has taken the tender heart of this world in its two rough hands, and pinched it. until tho nations wail with the agony. ]f all the mounds of graveyards that have U^-n lifted were put side by side, yon might step on them and on nothing else, going all around the world, and around again, and around again. Those are the facts. And now I havo to say that, in world like this, the grandest occupation is that of giving condolence*.

This holy science of imparting comfort to the troubled we ought all of us to study. There are many of you who could look around uixm some of your

very

best friends

who wish you well an-l are very intelligent, and yet he able truthfully to say to them in -your days of trouble, "Miserable comlorter.s tire ye all." 1 jemark, in the lirst place, that very voluble people are incompetent for the work of giving omlort. Hildad and Kiipha/, had the gift of language, and with their words almost bothered Job's life but. Alas for these voluble people that go among the houses of the atllieted and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk! They rehearse their own sorrows, and /•'•-.then they toll the poor sufferer's that they •'•'.feel badly now, but they will |V, I worse after while. Silence! ]o yon expert'. with a. ithin court, plaster of words to hen) a wound deep as the. .soul Step very gently around •.about a broken 'heart. Talk very softlyaround tho«.« wiiom(»od ha- bereft-. Then g.1 your way. 1 )*ep sympathy has not much to say. A tirni grasp of the hand, a »mpassionate look, just one, word that, means as '••much as a whole dictionary, and' you have given, perhaps all the comfort that: a soul ,...needs. A man has a terrible wound in his linn. The surgeon comes and binds it, up.

Now," hesays,*'-arry that arm in a sling and bo very careful of 1 *i- no one touch it." Jhit. 1 lie neighbor- have heard of theac. dent, ,nnd th"y come in. and they say, "Let us see .it.'1 And the bandage is pulled «»tV. and this ..}uonnd that. 0110 miM feel it, and see how intteh it is swollen and there is irritation, and inllainmation, and exasjK-ration, where hern ought to be healing and cooling. The surgeon comes in. and says: "What does all (Ins mean/ You have no business to touch those bandages. That wound will never heal unless you let. it. alone.*' So there arc souls broken down in sorrow. What thev most want is rest,or very careful and gentle treatment but tho neighbors have heard of the bereavemeht or of the Joss, and they come 111 to -.'"'•sympathize, and they say: "Show is now the "...wound. What were his last words? Rehearse now the whole scene. How did you feel when you found you were an orphan

Tearing oil* tho bandages here,.and pulling heio otr there, leaving a ghastly wound that the balm of (rod's grace liad already lM»gun to heal. Oh, let no loquacious |eople, with ever rattling tongues, go into "the homes of the distressed!

Again 1 remark, that all thoso persons aro incompetent to givo any kind of comfort who act merely as worldly philosophers. They como in and say: "Why, this is what you ought to havo expected. The laws of naturo must have their way and then they get *iloqucntovor something they have seen in jjost-

mortem examinations. Now, away with au human philosophy at Mich a time! What difl'erence does it make to that father and mother what disease their son died of He is dead, and it makes no difference whether tho trouble was in the epigastric or hypogastric region. If tha philosopher be ',-f tho stoical school ho will come and say: "You ought to control your feelings. You i:ni:.t, «t cry so. You must cultivate a cooler temperament. You must have self rehur.Ov.*, {.elf government, self control an iceberg reproving a hyacinth for Laving a drop of dev. in ity eye.

A violinist has his instrument, and ho bweeps his lingers acrois the now evoking strains of joy, :.: 1 v.v strain. of sadness. He cannot play all t'r.ics 0:1 one string. The human soul is a:i l.a.irtiinent of a thousand ..strings, and ail -y. -'l':Vof emotions were mr.do t.» pkiy on ll. Nov/ an unthem, no-.v a dirge. Jt ii tin oviik-.ice of wt akiK-ss when one is overcon:/of f-orrovv, Edmund Burke was found in the pasture tield with his arms around a Uor-e's nock, caressing him and some one K..d "Why, the great man has lost him :ni :d:: No, that horse Udonged to his son who 1:: recently died, and his great heart broke owr the grief. It is no sign of weakness that men are overcome of their :,:rrous. Than! for the relief of tears Have yon never been in trouble when you could not wov-\ a::d you would have given anything for a good cry? David did well when he mourned lor Absalom, Abraham did well when he lemoaned Sarah. Christ did well when he v-ept for La .- and the hist man I want tos«*ecome any -., here near me when I have any kind of trouble is a worldly philosopher.

Again 1 remark that those persons are inconi|H*tent for the work of comfort Ix-aring who have nothing but cant to offer. There arethoscwho havo the idea that yon must groan over the distressed and alllicted. There are times in grief when one cheerful face dawning ujwm a man's .soul is worth a thousand dollars to him. Do not whine over the alllictcd. Take the promises of the Gospel, and utter them in a manly tone. Do not 1m afraid to smile if you feel like it. Do not drive any more hearses through that poor soul. Do not tell him the trouble was foreordained it will not l»e any comfort, to know it was a million years coming. It you want to Hud splints for a broken bone, do not take cast iron. Do not tell them it is God's justice that weighs out grief. They want now to hear of (iod's tender mercy. In other words, do not, give them aqua fortis when they ne»*d valerian.

Again I remark that those persons are jHn.»r comforters who have never had any trouble themselves. A larkspur cannot lecture on 1 he nature of a snowllake- it never sawa snowllake ar.d those j»»:»j«1*» who have always lived in the summer of prosjerity cannot. talk to those who are frozen in disaster. God keeps aged |eople in the world, 1 think, for this very work of sympathy. They have been through ail these trials. They know all that v\hi"h irritate-, and all that which soothes. If there are men and women here who have old |n'oph? in the house, or near at. hand so that they ran easily rrach them, 1 congratulate them. Some of us have had trial* in life, and, although we have had many friends around about ii\ we havo wislu*l that fatherand mother were .still alive that we might go and tell them. iVrhaps they could not. say much, but it would have been such a eomfort. to have them around. These aged ones who have been all through the trials of iife know how to give condolence. Cherish them l»-t them lean on your arm—thee aged jN*ople. If, when vou speak to them, they cannot hear just what you sav the first itne, aixl y«.m have to say it a second time, when you say it the second time do not say it sharply. If you do you will Ik? sorry for it on the day when you take the last look iiml brush back the silvery lock* from the wrinkled brow just before they screw the lid on. Messed bo God for the old jK»ople! They may not have so much strength to go around, but they are God's appointed ministers of comfort to a broken heart.

People who have not had trials themselves cannot give comfort to others. They may talk very lenutifully, and they may give you a great deal of jiocric sentiment but while jHietry is perfume that smells sweet, it makes a very poor salve. If you have a grave in your pathway, and somebody comes ami covers it all over with llowess, it is a grave yet. Those who have not had grief themselves know not the mystery of a broken heart. They know not the meaning of childlessness and the having no one to put to bed at night, or the standing in a room where every book and picture and door is full of memories the door mar where she sat, the cup out of which she drank--the place where she stood at the ..door and chipped her hands—4tiie odd ligures that she seribblrd— the blocks she builL info a house. Ah, no you must have trouble yourself Iwfore you can comfort trouble in I others, p.tit come all ye who have been bereft and ye who have been comforted in your sorrows, and stand around thc*^ alllicted souls and say to them: "I had that very sorrow myself. God comforted me. and he will comfort jou and that will go right, to tho spot In other words, to comfort others wo must have faith in God, practical experience and good,-sound common sense.

Dutr tlw-iy are t.hive or four considerations that I will bring this me.ruing to thoso who are sorrowful and ditresseil. and that we can always bring them, knowing that Ihcywiil effect a cure. And the flint consideration is, that God sends our troubles in love. I often hear people in their trouble* ay, "Why, 1 wonder what God has against me!" They ,sct»ni to think* God Ins some grudge against: them because trouble and misfortune have come. Oh no. 1» you not remember that- passage of 'Scripture. "Whom the Lor,i loveth he'.-chastenetit:'' A child comes in with a \erv bad splinter in its hand, ami you tr\- to extract it. It js a very painful operation. The child draws back from you. but you ]ersist. You are going to take that splinter out, so vou take the child with a geutie hut linn grasp for al

and put it into a crushing machine, and then they put it between jaws that bit it in twain. Then they put it on au anvil, and thero were great hammer* swung by machinery—cach one a half ton in weight—that went thump! thump! thump! If that iron could havo spoken, it would have said,''Why all this lcating h\ must. 1 be pounded any moro than any other iron The workmen would have said. "'.V-j want to make axes out of you, kec:., sharp axe»—axes with which to hew down foivst, and build tho ship, and erect h'-HU-,.-.-,-,. :»:.d carry on a thoi'.?»and enterprises of yj]i-.vitIo:u That's the reason we jKjuud dh: 'v Now, God puts a .soul into the

I'urnaee if-ti-v.'.l, ami th it. 1 brought out and run vl.'rV-' ,'.i [the crushing maehiuc. and then a on tho anvil, and upuii it blow .. w, blow aricr blow, and soul civ.m ot "U Lord, what docr.aU this mean God .-ays, "I want to make something very u:eful »at of you. You shall ho something to hew with and something to build with. ii a practical protvss through which I am putting yott." Yes, my Christian friends, we want more tools in tho church of God. Not more wedges to piit with we havo enough of the^e, Not more botes with which to drill we have too many bores. What we really want js keen, sharp, well tempered axes, and if there be any other ray of making them than in the hot furnace,

and on the hard anvil, and under the heavy hammer, I do not know what it is. Remember that if God brings any kind of chastisement upon you, it is only to make you useful. Do not sit down discouraged ami say, "J have no more reason lor living. I wish were dead." Oh, there never was so much reason for your living as now! liy this ordeal you have been consecrated a priest of the Most High God. Go out and do your whole work for the Master.

Again, there is comfort in the thought that all our troubles area revelation. Have you ever thought of it in that connection? The man who has never lcen through chastisement is ignorant about a thousand things in his soul he ought to know. Kor instance, hen* is a man who prides himself on his cheerfulness of character. He has no patience with anybody who is depressed in spirits. Oh, it is easy for him to cheerful, with his fine house, his filled wardrol**, and well strung instruments of music, and tajM-stried parlor, and plenty of money inthe bank waiting for some j»»rmanent investnient. It is easy tor him to be cheerful. Ihit suppose his fortune goes to pieces, and his house goes down under the sheriff's hammer, and the banks will not have anything to do with his paper. Suppose those people who were once elegantly entertained at Instable get so short sighti*d that they cannot recognize him upon the street. How* then.' Js it so easy to be ch'-eiTul? ltiseay to be cheerful in the home, after the tlay's work is done, and the gas is turned on, and the house is full of romping little ones. Hut suppose the piano is shut because the lingers that played on it will no more touch the keys, and the childish voice that asked so many questions will ask 110 more. Then is it so easy.' When a man wakes up ami funis that his resources are all g»nc, he 'begins to rebel, and he says: "God is hard mI is outrageous, lb* had no business to do this me." My friends, those of us who have been through trouble know what a sinful and bclliou* heart we have, and how much (!od has to put up with, and how much we nc*d pardon. It is only in the light of a flaming furnace that, we can learn our own weakness and our own lack of moral resource.

There is also a great deal of comfort in the fact that there will be a family reconstruction in abetter place. From Scotland, or Kngland, or Ireland, a child emigrates to this I country. It is very hard parting, but he comes, after awhile writing home as to what a good land it is. Another brother comes, a sister comes, and another, and after a while the mother comes, and after a while the father conies, and now they are all here, and they have a time of great congratulation and a very pleasant reunion. Well, it is just so with our families they are emigrating to a lettcr land. Now one goes out. Oh, how hard it is to pnit with him! Another goes,

Oh. how hard it is to part with her! And another, and another, and we ourselves will after awhile go over, and then we will le together. Oh. what a reunion! Do you believe that.' "Yes," you_ say. You do not! You do not believe jt. as you lielieve other things If you did, and with tho same emphasis, why, it would take nine-tenths •of your trouble off your heart. The fact is, heaven to many of us is a great fog. It is away off somev. here, filled with an uncertain and indefinite population. That is the kind of heaven that many of us dream about but it is the most tremendous fact in all the univeje—this heaven of the Gospel, tjur departed friends are not afloat. The resideuce in which you live is not so real as the residence hi hi"h they stay. You are afloat,you who do not know in the morning what will happen before night. They arc housed anil safe fore\er. Do not, therefore, pity your 1 departed friends who have dU in Christ. S They do not need any of your pity. You might as well send a letter of condolence toCJueen

Victoria on her obscurity, or to the LothschiMs on their poverty, as to pity those who jhave won the palm. Do not. say of those who are "departed, "i'oor child!*' "1'oor father!" "Poor mother!" They are not poor. You are. poor-you whose homes have been shattered—not they. You dt not dwell much with your families in this world.

though tin r-may b" pain in it, the splinter come immortality/ Oh. how much condol must come out. And it is love that dictates ouce there is in this thought! I expeefc to heaven: 1 e::pect to's.*o

it and malie- yon persist. My friendreally think hat. nearly all our sorrows in (his world are. only the hand of our Father extracting vome thorn. If ail these sorrows were sent, by enemies I would say, arm yourselves against them and, as in

Again I remark, there comfort in the thought that God, by all this process, is going to make 3*011 useful. Do you know that thoso who accomplish tho most for God and heaven have all been under the harrow? Show me a man that, has done anything for Christ in this day, in a public orprivate place, who has had no trouble and whose path has l»een smooth. Ah, no. 1 once went through an.ax factory, and I saw them take the bars of iron and thrust them into the terrible furnaces. Then besweated workmen with long tongs stirred tho blaze. Then they broughtoutabarof iron

Hut no they come from a Father so kind, so loving, so gentle, that the prophet, speaking of his tenderness and mercy, drops the idea of a father, and says, "As one whom hi* mother coinforteth, so will I comfort you.'1

Cape lhittrras r.nd thirty will coino up from (Jrrenv.ovnl and I shall know them hettor than 1 cv»r km-w them hnv.

"I must lo up and away/' Oh yes, you will oomo up aud thero will bo a reunion, a reconstruction of your family. I like what, llalhurton, I think it was—^good old Mr. llalhurton—said in his last moments,

I thank 0od that I ever lived, and that I have a father in heaven, and a mother in heaven, and brothers in heaven, and sisters in heaven, and 1 am now going up to see them."

I remark once more: our troubles in this world are preparativo for glory. What a transition it was for Paul—from the slipper}* deck of a laundering ship to tho calm prcs-en'-e of .h-i:! Whata transition it was for

Lat.. the stake to a throne! What .won is was for Robert Hall— from in-- glory! Whata transition it was 1 i.- il.c'.mrd Haxter—from tho dropsy to the "saint's everlasting rest!*' And what a transition it wilt be for you—from a world of sorrow to a world of joy! John Holland, when he was dying, said: "What means this brightn- ^s in the roomf Have you lighted the candles "No,v they replied, "we have not. lighted any candle's." Then said he,

Wrleouu? heaven!'' the light already beaming i:po:i h»n pillow.
