Why did God let sin come irito the world? It is a - question I often hear dis- angled, but never satisfactorihy answered. God mad* the world fair and beautiful at the start. If our first parents haernot sinned in Eden, they might have gone out of that garden and forinl 60 paradises all around the earth -Europe, Asia, Africa, North and .South Amerloa-so many flower gardens or orchards of fruit, redolent and luscious. ' I suppose 'that when Goa mired out the Gillen and the Hiddekel he poured out at the same time the Andean and- the Susquehanna. The whole earth was very fair -and beautiful to look upon. 'Why did it not stay .so? God had the power to keep back sin and weer Why did hi not keep thena back? Why net every cloud roseate, and every step a'joy, and every seund musk, and all the agesa long jubilee of sinless men and sinless women? Ged can make a rope as easily as he ann. make a thorn. Why, then, the predominance of thorns? He can make good, laireripe fruit as well as gnarled and sour fruit. Why so much, then, that is Acted and sour? He can make enen,robust in heelth. Why, then, are there se many invalids? •Why not have for our whole race perpetual leisure instead or this tug and tail and tussle for alivellhood? I will tell you why God let sin come into the world -when I get on the other side of the river of death. That is the.place where SUCil questions Will be 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 .has came in upon us, trampling down everything fair and beautiful. A:sword at the , gate of Eden and a sword at every gate. More people under the ground than on It. The graveyards in vast majority. The 6.000 winters have made more soars than the 6,000 summers can cover up. Trouble has taken the tender heart of this world in its two rough hands and pinched it until the nations wail with the agony. If all the mounds of graveyards that have been raised were put side by side, you inight step: on them and nothing else, going all around the world, and around again, and around again. These are the facts. And now I have to say that in a world like this the grandest occupation Is that of giving condolence. The holy science of imparting comfort to the troubled we ought all of us to study. There are many of yea who could look around upon some of your very best friends, who wish you well and are very intelligent, and yet, be able truthfully to say to them in your days of trouble, "Miserable comforters are ye all." I remark, in the first place, that very voluble people are incompetent for the work of giving comfort. 431dad and Job's life their words almost bother )Job's had the gift of langiage, and with out. Alas for these voluble people that go among the houses of the afflicted and talk and talk and talk and talk. They rehearse their own sorrows, and then they 10I1 the poor sufferers, that they feel badly now, but they will feel worse after Sileneej Do you expect with a thin court plater of words to heal a wound deep as the soul? Step very gently around about a broken heart. Talk very. aottry around those whom Ged has bereft. Then go your way. Deep syinPathy has not much to say. A tirna grasp of the hand, a compassionate look, just one word that moans 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 erns. The surgeon comes and binds it up. "Now," be says, "carry that arm in a sling and be very careful of it. Let no one touch it." But- the neighbors have heard of the accident, and they come in, and they miy, • "Let us see it." And the bandage is pulled off, and this one and that one must feel it and see how much it is swollen, and there are irritation and inflamination and exasperation where there ought to be healing and 000ling. The eurgeon comes in and says: "What does all this men? You have no business to touch those bandages. That wound will never heal unless you let it alone." So there are souls broken dowrein sorrow. •What they most want is rest or very careful and gentle treatment, but the neighbors have heard of the bereavement or of the loss, and they come in to sympathize, and they say: "Show us 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 off the band- ages here and pulling them off there, leaving a ghastly wound that the balm of God's grace had already begun to heal. Ok, let no loquacious people, with over rattling tongues, go into the homes of the distressed! Again', I remark that all those persons are incompetent to give any kind of com- fort who act merely as worldly philosoph- ers. They come. in and say: "Why, this istwhat you ought to have expected. The laws of nature must have their way."' And then they get eloquent over some- thing they have seen in post-mortem douninations. Now, away with all human philosephy at such a time! \Vhat difference does it make to that father and mother what • disease their son died or? He is dead, and it makes no difference whether the trouble was in the epigrastrio or hypogristio region. If the philosopher be of the stoical school, he will dome and say: "You. ought to control your feel- ings. You must not cry so. You enust cultivate a cooler temperament. You must have self relianoe, self government, self control" -an iceberg reproving -a hyacinth for having a drop of dew in its eye.- A violinist has his instrument, and he sweeps his fingers across the strings, now evoking strains of joy and now strains of sadness. He cannot play all the tunes on one string. The human SOU1 IS an instrument of a thousand strings, and all sorts of emotions were made to play on it. Now an anthem, now a dirge. It is no evidence of weakness when one is overcome of sorrow. Edmund Burke was found in the pasture field with his arms around a horse's neck, caressing him, and some one said, "Why, the great man has lost big raindet! No the horse belonged VD Nis- son, who Ma tliontly died, dila Veit heart broke over the grief.' It of weakness thatmen are 044 - sir sorrows. , Thank .Goil for f teari.

There are those Whd'hiiee thetidOte that you must groan over the distressed -and afflicted. There are times in grief when one cheerful face, dawning upon a man's soul, is worth $1,000 to him. Do not whine over the afflicted. .-Take the promise.s_of the -gospel and. utter them In a manly tone. Do not be 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 be any coinfortto know it Was a million years coming. If you want.to find splints for a broken bon*, do not take out iron. Do mit tell them it is Gode justice that weighs out grief. They want to hear of God's*telider' mercy. In ' other words, do not give them tiquatertie When they need valerian. ., Again, Iremark that those persons are poor comforters ;who have never had any trouble themselves.. A larkspur cannot lecture on the nature of a snow- flake; it' never saw a snowflake and those people who have always lived in • the summer of prosperity cannot talk to those who aro frozen in disaster. God keeps aged people in the world, I think, for this very work of sympathy. They have been through all these trials. They know . all that which irritates and all that which soothes. if there are men and *omen here who have old. people in the house or near at hand, so 'that they can easily roach them, I cengratulate you. Some of us have had trials ' in life, and although we have had many friends around • about us we have wished that father and mother were still alive that we might go and tell them. Perhaps they could not say much, but It would have been such a oonifort to -have them around. These aged ones - who . have been all through the trials of life know how to give_condolence. Cherish them; let them lean on your arm, these aged people. If when you speak to them they cannot hear just what you say the first time, and you have to say it a Second time, when you say it a second time do not say it sharply. If you do, you will be sorry for it on the day when you take the last look and brush back the silvery looks from the wrinkled brow just before they screw the lid on. 'Blessed be God.for the old people! They may not have much strength to go around, but they are God's appointed ministers of comfort, to a broken heart. - People who have not had trials them- selves cannot give comfort to others. They may talk very beautifully, and they may give you a great deal of poetio sentiment; but, while poetry is perfume thate Smells sweet, it makes a very poor salve. If you have a grave in a pathway, and somebody mines and covers it all over with flowers, it is a grave yet. Those who havo not had grief themselves know not the mystery of a broken heart. They know not 'the meaning of childless- ness, 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 doormat where she sat, the cup out Of ' which she drank, the place whore she etood at the door and clapped her hands'the odd. figures that she soribbled, the blocks she built into a house. Ah, no, you must hoye trouble yourself before you oan comfort itrouble in others. But come all ye who have been bereft and ye who have -been comforted In sorrows and stand around these afflicted souls and say to them: "I had that very sorrow myself. God comforted. me, and he will comfort you." And that will go right to the spot. In other words, • to comfort others we must have faith in Ged, practical experience and good, sound common sense. But there are three or four considera- tions that I will bring to those who are sorrowful and distressed and that Vi9 can always bring to thein, knowing that they will effect a cure. And the first consideration is that God sends our 1. troubles in love. I often hear people in their troubles say, '"Why, 1 wonder what God has against me?" They seem to think God has some ;Trudge - against them • because trouble and misfottune have come. Oh, no! Do you not remeniber that passage of Scripture, "Whom the Lord loveth he ohasteneth?" A child comes inwith a very bad splinter in its hand, and you try to .extract it. It is a very painful operation. The child draws back from you, but you persist. You are going to take that splinter out, so you take the child with a gentle but firm grasp, for 'although there may be pain in it the splinter must come out. And it is love that dictates it and makes you persiet. My friends, I really think that nearly all Our sorrows in this world are only •the hand of our Father extracting some thorn. If all these sorrows were sent by enemies, I would say arm yourselves against thorn and as in tropical dillies when a tiger conies down from the mountains and carries off a child from the village the -neighbors band together and go into the forest and hunt the monster, so I would have you, if I thought these misfortunes were sent by an enemy, go you and battle against them. But no, they come from a Father so kind, so loving, so gentle that the prophet, speaking of his tenderness and mercy, droos the idea of a father and says, "As one whom his mother corn- forteth, so will Leomfort you.' Again,. I remark there is comfort in the thought that _God by all this process is going to make you useful. Do you know that those who accomplieh the 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 ot private place who has had no trouble and whose path has been smooth. Ah, no! I once went through an ax factory, and I saw them take the bars of iron and thrust them into the terrible furnaces. Then besweeted ,workmen with long tongs • stirred the blaze. Then :they brought out a bar of iron and put it in a crushing machine, and then put it between jaws that bit it in twain. Then they put it on an anvil, and there were great haminers swung by machinery - each one-half a ton in weig/st-that went thump, thump, thump! If that iron could have spoken, it would have said: "Why all this beating? <Why must I be pounded any more than any other iron?" The workmen would have said, "We want to Make axes out of you, keen, sharp axes -axes with which to how down the fbrest and build the ship and emit houses and carry on a thousand enterprises of civilization. That is the reason vre pound you." Now, God puts a soul into the furnace orti•Rdrand then it Is- brought out and run throng h the crushing machine, and then it cornea down oh the anvil and upon it, blow after blow, blow after blow, until the soul cries out, "0 Lord, what does all this mean?" God says: "I want to make 801320thillif VOTY inieftil out of you. You •4 • intrn i loaotiuI ntignir of wbtih t� What we well tem other way of ;making them than in the hot kenos, and i on the hard anvil, and under the h vs, hammer, I do not know what tt is. Remember -that it God brloga any kind of lchastisement upon you It is only to inake you useful. Do- not sit down ' disoo fogad and say: "I have no more -reason tir living. I wish I -Were dead." Oh, there never was so much reason for your living as now! By this ordeal you-sh vs been consecrated It priest of the most Igh God. Go out and do your Whole Pi rk for the Master. f Again, there Is comfort in the thought that all our troubles are a revelatlan. Have you eve thought of it in that Con'- , neotloot The man who has never been through ohas feculent is ignorant about a thousand thi 'get in his soul he ought to know. - Por Instance, here Is a man who prides himself 1 on his cheerfulness of character. He has no patience with any- body who is d 'pressed in spirits. Oh, it la easy far b ier to he cheerful with' tit fine house, his filled wardrobe and Welt' strung instruMenta of muido and tapestried parkle and plenty of money in the bank waiting -for some permanent illyeettnent! I , is easy for him to be oheertul. But s *toile his fortune goes to pieces and, hisi house goes down under the sheriff's ha mer and the banks will not have, anything to do with his paper. Suppose those people who were once elegantly entertained at his table get in shortsighted that they cannot recognize him upon the street.. How then? Is it so easy to be oh 'dui? It is easy to be cheerful In the home after thaday's work Is done, and t e gas is turned on, and the houseisfull of romping little ones. But suppose th piano is shut beeanse the fingers that piayod on it will no more touch the keys, , and the childish voioe that asked so -ma y questions will ask no more. /Then is itt so easy? When a man wakes up and finds that his resources are all gone, be beglns to rebel and he says: ."God is hard; ,God 1. outrageoue. He had no bus loess to do this to rite." • My friends, the e of us who have been through trouble k 'ow what a sinful and rebellious heart we;have, and how much God his to put up with, and how much we need pardon. ' It is only in the light of aflaming fur ce that we can learn our Own weakness and our own lack of moral resource. There is also a groat deal of comfort in the factthat th te will be a family reconstruction in e better place. From Scotland or- Engl nd or Ireland a child emigrates to America. It is very hard parting, but he antes, after awhile writing home as t� what a good land it Is. Another brother Nimes, a sister comes, and another, and of er awhile the father comes, and now th y 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 toward a better land. Now one goes out. Oh, h w hard it is to part. with him! Another goes. Oh, how hard It is to part with be 1 And another and! another, and we •urselves will after awhile go over, a d then we will be together. Oh, what • reunion! Do you, believe that? "Yes," you say. Oh, you, do not! You do n t believe it as you believe other things. If you do, ahd with the same emphasis, why it would take nine -tenths of your trouble off your heart. The fact is be yen to many of us is a great fog. It is away off so RON EXPOSIT° Metlflitir th'''heW With ahd Thigh:I-with, It k a mitotic*: wleitih, I am putting, .gartstian: friends, we In tho.4tifeh of .God gee,* delftWith.

That is the kind of hhaven that many of us dream about, b t it is the most tremendous fact in all this universe- thie heaven of the 'gospel. Our departed friends are not afloa . The residence in which you live is iot so real as the residence in which they stay. You are afloat -you who do not know 'in the morning what will ha pen before night. They are housed ant safe forever. Do not therefore pity youj, departed friends who have died in Christ. They do not need any of your pity. You naight as well send a letter of condolence to Queen Victoria on her obscurity or to the Rotheobilds on their poverty as to pity those who have won the palm. Do not say of those who ar4 departed: ''Poor child l" "Poor father! ' "Pbor mother!" They are not poor. You aro poor, you whose homes nave b en shattered, not they. You do not deve I much with your families in this world.1 All day long you are off to bush -less. Will it not be pleasant when you can be together all the while? If you have had four children and one hi 'gone, and anybody leeks how many :children you have, do not be no infidel as to say three. Say four -one in heaven. Do not think the, the give is unfriendly. You go into your roiom and dress for some grand entertainment, and you come forth beautifully appareled, and the grave is - only the plebe where we go to i e dress for the glorious resurrection, and we will come out r diant, mortality having bedome immo talky. Oh, how xnuch condolence there iin this thought! I expect to see my kindred in heaven - 1 expect to see them Jost as certainly as I expect to go home toiday. Aye, I shall more certainly see them. Eight or ten will come up from the graveyard 'back of Sonaerville, and one Will oome from the mountains book of Amoy, China, and another will come up from the sea off _Cape Hatteras, and 80 will come up from Greenwood, and I shall know them better than I over knew them here. And your friends -they may be across the sea, but the trumpet that. sounds here will sound there. You will come up on just the same day. Some morning you have ovelept yourscdf, .and you open your ayas ond see that the sun is high in the heavens, and .ydix say, "I hays overslept, and I must e up and away." So y will open your eyes on the inorn- ing of he resurrectioni in the full blaze of Goa tight, and yon will say, "I must 'he u nd away." . Oh, yes, you will come"up, and there will be a reunion, a reconstruction of your family! I like what Haliburton (I think it was) -good old Mr.Haliburton-said in his last moments, "I thank God 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 I am now going up to see them." I remark once more: Our troubles in this world are preparative for glory. What a -transition it was for Paul -front the slippery deck of a foundering ship to the calm presence of Jesus! What a transition It was for Latimer from the stake to a throne! What a transition it was for Robert Hall -from insanity to glory! What a transition for Richard Baxter -1 from the dropsy to the "Saint's Everlast-' ing Rest!" .And what a transition it will be for you -from tiworld of sorrow to a world of joy! John Holland, when he was dying, said: "What means this brightness in the roont? Have you lighted the candles?" "No," they replied, "we have not lighted any candles." Then said he, "Welcome {heaven!"

It Is Extending to the United States From South America. _ ' No. physician is entitled to say, as many are doing, that leprosy is not cm- tagious. There are too many wellointhen- floated cases where the disease has been tranemitted from' one individual to an- other.. It is a well-known fact that this most dreadful of human ills has existed ID all ages. Although the bacillus has been discovered, it can neither be culti- vated nor inoculated in animals. Unless some means of doing this be found, lep- rosy is likely to remain incurable. Doses of oil of ohaulmoagra, up to 200 drops a day, have afforded relief, but recovery is rare. The disease is spreading in Russia, on the shores of the Mediterranean, east- ern Prussia and Nprway. Cases have been observed in ,England, France and Ger- many. Through the Gulf of Mexico, from South America, leprosy is extending to the United. States. One physician in New Orleans has. had 18 oases under his ob. servation. Since 1840 it has bee* intro- duced into Hawaii by the Chinese. To prevent its spread in this country, prompt legisiation should deny leprous foreign- ers admission and isolate those cases now In our midst..Chicago Inter Ocean. Crisis in His Career.

Is the salary too small? Have you ever had the slightest trouble with the bank? Is there anything wrong with your accounts? Are they thinking of replacing you with another man?" "No, there's nothing wrong in any way," rejoined the bank cashier, "but the very fact that I have been ths bank's most trusted -official for 87 years, and have never done a dishonest thing in my life, never made an injudicious loan, that my accounts are perfeetly • straight, and that no man on earth oan say' a word against me, is making people suspicious, and they are beginning to talk about me." -Chicago Tribune. • What Eie Said.
