SORROW AND PAIN
How Much That Is Lovliest in Humanity
Do We Owe to Thern.
4061 We knew that all things Work to-
gether foe good to them that love God,—
llornan.s vile, 28.
No man travels far without meeting
pain. If it lay not its heavy band on
him it wrings les synIpathies for en -
other, Here is the void at the table or
The hearthside; her the father gone

meter breaking her heart over the way-
ward child, On 'every soul sensIble to
life there is a deep and wenry reweel
M sorrow.
It, is easy, when slties are fate andlile
seems a pleasant song, to sing of the
goodness of the Most High; 3 is hard
to believe there is ally heart, in. the uat-
verse when sorrow, sickness, or death
'leeches us, when adversities beset lbe
path where honest feet are treading,
when the long struggle with disease at
last 130WA the hearl in despair.
-The problem, is eader than an indi-
vidual one. Is this a right world where
millions must toll as no more than
• beasts of burden, where It costs us all
' ts( much of life to make a bare living,
where pride and lust continue, to blight
•Ihe lives of many, where the beauty and
• joy of life are unknown to children,
where glad laughter and song are
eirewned in •
TIIE CRUSH OF COMMERCE,
where the hearts of many are crushed

11 would be blind folly to answer that
ev,erytbing is right as it is, or to de-
clare that this is the world as divthe
love bas designed it. First of ale on
us all rests the magnificent responsi-
bility to make this a right world. It will
never become better by divine aecree.
A World t bus compelled to be absolute-
ly right would not be right at alt. It
must be morally right, because we will
it to be, or not at all. If improvement
40111.es it will be because we fight our
own lusts and overcome our sins.
Are we praying for an automaUcally
right world? There can be no freedom
whein there is enforced righteousness,
rto manhood where there is no moral
responsibility. No one is to blame for
the wrong but ourselves and no one 0411
remedy the wrong but ourselves. lt is
not 0 speclatle to be deplored; It is a
cendillon crying aloud on everything
that Is high and noble in us to aroese
ourselves and remedy It.
late, what of sorrows eaused by death
and those things beyond our power to
affect? What of the fleece struggle
egabest the forces of nature? Our own
hearts are answering the question. As
the years gtve new perspective lo our
sorrow,s, even our bereavements. flow,
ere of comfort are seen springing up
In their ways and the sweet perfume

WE HAVE SHED TEARS TOGETHER
How much that is sweet and gentle
and lovely in all our humanity do we
owe to sorrow and pain. Love never
reached its perfection until permitted to
suffer tor another. Families and friend-
ships are bound faster together by We
breaches in their einem All that the
word comfort means to ns we owe be
our griefs.
Richer far than the things we have
lost has been the heart wealth acquired
through our losses. Had we been able
to keep all we have gained or to gain
all we have desired, how barren and
emplY would our hearts and memories
As sweetness bas come to Ilte from
our pain, so has strength come from
our struggle with nature. Oul of Ibis
school has come character, Where life
has been hardest men have been hardi-
est in manhood. This loom of life seems
le treat us harehly, but it is not by
looking at the ioom that 'we shall un-
derstand its work, the finished pattern
justifies the process; all will be seen to
have been well worth while in view of
the good end, man glorious and great

THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Based on the text of the Revised Ver -
'stole
Cotentle—The Docerine 01 1110 Reser-
rection.--The city of Corinth was in the
lime of our Lord and during We decieles
Immediately following, the capital of an
• important :Roman province, and as such
was probably in.inany respects more im-
portant even than Athens itself. It was
the centre of government and commerce,
and of the actual busy lite of the
Grecian people. Paul visited Corinth on
his first European 101551011 IOW(Acts 18.
1-181, and at once saw the strategical
value of the city as a centre from which
the influence of a strone Christian church
might radiate. His 'first converts in-
cluded both Jews and Greeks '• but in the
church which he organized the Gentile
element largely predominated. The
probable date of Paul's first letter to the
Corinthians is 57 A.D.
To no other passage in the New Tes-
fitment is the Christian doctrine of the
resurreation Set forth with such cogency
end fullness as in the fifteenth chapter
01 11118 Epistle. The eaHy apostles recog-
nized in this doctrine the keestone of
the gospel arch, and It consequently
formed the chief feature in their preach-
ing. It Was clearly the dominating note
in the leaching of Paul, who everywhere
• preached "Jesus and the resurrection."
Years afterwards when he was com-
pelled to answer for les heresies, so
considered, at a tribunal of his fellow
countrymen, les first retnark was' "For
the hope and resurrection of the dead am
1 called in question." ills argument in
1110 chapter of which our lesson tbxt
forms a portion, i11 betel is as follows :
Without the resurrection elthe dead
there can bo no Chrlsennity, no escape
finni the consequences of sin, no heure
lite. To deny the resurrection is to de-
clare false ell the preaching of the apos-
tlesfle therefore takes especial care to
bear witness to the NM and places tbe
whole emphasis of his argument upon
this great miracle.
Veese 12. II, Is important that tbe stu-
dent, rend carefully the entire &melee in
connection with to -day's lesson, the
110051,4 chosen tor a lesson text being
simply brief' portions from the begin -
n116(1 and the end Pespectively of the
epoelle's masterrul argument. .
How sey some„among you that there

doctrine of the resuereetion of the body

The heathen worle, Epicureans, Stoics,

Suldecees, who "believed not, in the

enemies of the gospel of n rtscit Christ.

13. 11 (13000 be no cemtereel'on—If Pep-
cureans, Stoics, Sadducees, ned Platonic
philosophers and skeptics within the
Christian fold are right, then necessarily
l'aul and the other apostles must be
wrong.
15. Yea and we are found false wit-
nesses — Either impoetors Or self -
deceived.
16. Neither bath Christ been raised—
/lot only the point of Paul's whole argu-
ment, but, the faith of the Christian
Church in all succeeding centuries hinges
on this question of facl. We must, bear
in mind thaf, this Epistle WaS written
within twenty-flve years of the event to
winch th10 verserefers, which fact makes
the unhesitating confidence of the author
the more convincing.
• 17. Ye are yet in •your sins—Paul
challenges the members of the Corin-
thian church to look squarely al the full
consequences of disbelief in the resur-
reclean of Christ, without which thee
have no advantage over their idolatrous
Gentle neighbors.
18. Fallen asleep in Christ --An ex-
pression apparently used unconsciously
by the apostle, yel for that very reason
reflecting the more strongly his own un-
wavering faith in Christ and his resur-
rection.
10. 01 all men most pi-liable—Because
deluded and selfeleceived, nnd living for

55. Verses 22-54 which are omitted
from our text um to be considered as
part of the lesson and cnrcfully studied.
0 death, where is lily victory ?—The
apostle has in mind, doubtless, the
words of Hos. 13. 14: e011 61011111, where
are thy plagues? 0 Sheol, where is thy
clestruclion ?"
• 56. The power of sln is the law—That
