Hardly a mall has come to me for twenty years that has not contained letters saying that my sermons have comforted the writers ofthose letters. I have not this summer nar for twenty years spcken on the platform of any outdoor meeting but coming down 1 have been told by hundreds of peopls the same thing. 80 I think X will keep on trying to be a “son of consolstion,” Tho prayer ofl my text was pressod out of David's soul by innumerable calamities, but it is just as appropriate for the distressed of all ages, Within the past century travelers and antiquarians have explored the ruins of many of the ancient cities, and from the very heart of those buried splondors of other days have been brought up evidences of customs that long ago vanished from the world. From among tombs of those ages have been brought up lachrymatories, or lachrymals, which are vials made of earthenware, It was tha custom for the ancients to cateh the tears that they wept over their dead in a bot- tle, and to place that bottle inthe graves of the departed, and we have many specimens of the ancient lachrymatories, or tear bottles, in our musuems, When on the way from the Holy Land our ship touched at Cyprus, we went baok futo | the hills of that island and bought tear bot- ties which the natives had dug out of the ruins of the old city. There is nothing more suggestive to me than the tear bottles which | I brought home and tes, That was the kine alludes to when David « tears into thy bottle.” Fhe text intim mate acquaintance brance of allour griefs, anda vial, or lach matory, or bottle, which He catches and Saves our tears, ¢ to you the n sentiment, Why the world has there ut among my curiosi- 1 of bottle that mv text “Put thou ' : " ries, my God has an inti- perpetual rem ites its and w, whi speak, darkn that lifted, The: who are break under the as ff temptatior perchance, {{ no words appropriate to case be uttered, they per I ¢ pangs, thick are need abo to 1, and their a no it SL ry ; bat i REN mrd a nel : | 1 the billows wore * {ears that ‘ompeid ad Lhe s Wi gath ds that have gushed as the r demeanor, 1 tie, were fell in i the li tion But when a tries to do advantage God's mer of an arou terr y prodi heaven bows down Bre extanded png rends the heart hen his tears are Oh, when | ringing hear the qui res venly Shephe ening home silor boy away to i negiec . and the sin and the passion blasted appeal toa God, and triumph ire tears { : Again, God keeps mpawionale ater yur sieknesses How ighly sound in body I do not exaggerate There are parties side or back nin wild not take a vers the golden bowl of | or break at the fountain, Many of you have ke pt on life through sheer foree of will, You think no one ean understand your distrosses, Perhaps you look strong, and it is supposed that you are a hypoechondriae, you Are LOrvYous God have merey upon that Is nervous At times you ait Friends do nt come seribable lonliness In ¥ God knows: God feels; ates, He counts the sleepless nights, regards the acutonoss the pain.
