THOUGHTS FOR EASTFPIDE
Many a the Psaline” of David are
filled with beautiful and great
thoughts; the recognition of God%
love, mercy and the greatness of hie
works; but, beautiful as these are,
they do not move us so much as those
-in 'which the soul et 'The Man erieS

"Thom haat bid niti in the low .st

Thou bast afflicted me with all Thy
waves. Why hidest Thou. Thy; face;
frora.me?" AU these are read Ira -
man criee, cries that go up from the
souls of men to -day when paili and
sorrow press heavily upon them.
There are other passages in the,
„psalms that cometo ue when the pain
Is lifted, or the trouble is less Poign-
ant; then we share in the psalmist's
gratitude, in his praise 40 God, "who
torgiveth all his sins and healeth all
.his infirmities."
When the pain is over we may' be
willing to agree with "the great sur-
geon mho epeaks' a Was a blessing.
Our joy comes in the great peace that
• 'usually follows great -pains there is
weakness, but such aewonclerful sense
of freedom, . To rest quietly, know-
ing that4 the suffering Is Past, is a.
great joy; enough for the present. ,
After we have been through an
ordeal of, Pain, anxiety or sorrow we
are very likely to realize, as we never
have done before, that our life here
is an incomplete one. We may have
thought quite differently until one of
