You were about to go to college your
father died and you wore taken out
M of school and had to go to Work.
You are unlucky in the fact that just
after you had saved up a little
looney and put it in the bank the
cashier became a defaulter and you
lost all, You aro unlucky in the
fact that just after you had learned
to be a good draftsman and had a
t fine position about to be offered you
fell and broke your arm or had your
to :linger cut oft by having them caught
a In the cogs of a factory wheel and
• you had to start life all over again.
You are unlucky because just as you
were about to be appointed to a cer-
. tain position an enemy lied about
• your character as an enemy lied
about a young friend of mine who
o was about' to become pastor of a
prominent church in the east,
Though your character in ono sense
was vindicated, yet the damage was
done. You aro saying to yourself:
"Oh, T anti always- unlucky! What is
the use .01 my trying any longer?"
Discouraged, are you? "Yes," you
mutter„ ""fearfully • discouraged!"
You, have .conscientiously done your,
level best? ""Yes, I have done my
level best. I can do nothing more."
• .Oh yes, you can, my brother. You
can 'let God now come and •do the
•rest, •You aro simply "encamped be-
fore Pi-hahirotll. between Migdol and

like Job amid the tragedy of a

as well as mental pain, you can say,
and still continue to say, • -"Though
he slay ate, yet will I trust hint.'"
Clod will show to you a.dit•ectMeaus
of escape if you will only stand still
just where you are and continue to
'look for the salvation of the Lord,.
You may not now think it, •but all
things, even amid the greatest dis-

the discouraged, to those who have
made what the world calls a failure
of life as well as to the iutptttiett
and dissatisfied, this sermon conveys
a practical lesson. '1'lto text is .0/co-
1 duo xiv, 13, "Stand still and see the
' salvation of the Lord."
' To fall back, in order to go for-
ward; to retreat, in order to ad-
vance; to ovacuatt., in order to -con-
quer; aye, that is the course Most
great military chieftains have had to
take, at least once in life, before
they won their ultimate triumphs,

Greene, the mighty Military leader of
the Revolutionary war, second only
in power to George Washington, was
aptly called "Thu Great itetr'eater."
Ile never won a decisive bottle in his
life. So it has been with other mill-
tary chieftains. There is strategy in
eluding a foe whose strength is sup-
erior. Many a general has kept the
field and worn _out the patience of an
enemy by avoiding a decisive battle -
and in the end has proved victorious.
