of Life in Cheerful Manner.

crowded the Academy of Musie in this
eity to hear Dr. Talmage. Discoursing on
“The Ministry of Tears” he put forth the
misfortunes of life in a cheerful light,
showing that if they were borne in the
right spirit they might prove to be advan-
tages. His text was Rev. vii, 17. “And
God shall wipe away all tears from their
eye.”

Bomething must be done to make us will-

for trouble, this world would he a good
enough heaven for us. You and I would
be willing to take a lease of this life for a
hundred million years if there were no
trouble. The earth, cushioned and
holstered and pillared and chandeliered at
such expense, no story of other worlds
could enchant us. We would say: “let
well enough alone. If you want to die and

trouble comes in.
After a man has had a good deal of
trouble he says: “Well, I am ready to go.
If there is a house somewhere whose roof
does not leak, 1 would like to live there,
If there is an atmosphere somewhere that
does not distress the lungs, I would like to
breathe it. there is a society some.

He used to read the first ue So of the Bible
chiefly. Why has he changed Genesis for
Revelation? Ah, he used to be anxious
chiefly to know how this world was made
and all about its geological construction.
Now he is chiefly anxious to know how
the next world yas made, and how it looks
and who live there, and how they dress.

not know our own weakness or God's

contemptible in us that only when there
