Gustave Rydquist, of the First Lutheran Church spoke last evening to a large audience on the subject, " Weal and Woe; Joys and Sorrows of Men." He said in part: "The situation of the test is when Christ announces His departure from this world. This announcement fills the itaudnW hearts with sorrows. But in order not to leave them in this sorrow he point into the future when the Comforter should come, and in spirit he would be with them always even unto the end of the world. "From time immemorial life has been represented by the figure of a journey, which figure is both striking and com forting. Now if our life is only a jour ney, and this is demonstrated by every thing, then we cannot here build our eternal homes. Our experiences may vary between weal and woe, joy and sorrow, but we have here no continuing city. Our journey is toward another city, not built by hands of men, the eternal city of our God. Every day brings us nearer to this object of our longing. Some times the way i be strewn with flowers, again with thorns and briers. Some times the sunbeams bright and clear; again life is dark and dreary. The one experience- is as neces sary as the other. It belongs to the journey. It behooves us t&errtor to take these vissitudes of life as meted out by a higher wisdom than our. and yet both joys and sorrows serve us on the way. Yea, we should hear the voice of the Eternal speak to us both in the Zephyr winds of spring as well as in the threatening storm. "Some men are only satisfied when indulging iu souk- carnal pleasure. They dodge every woe and go out of the. way for every difficulty. They are lost on the byways of fickle pleasure, and drift on aimlessly to the end of a useless life. ' "The weakling fears every difficulty in his way. There is a mountain which he could surmount, but he waits for it to be moved. There is a river he could crosB, but he waits for it to flow away. The unfortunate one only measures the difficulties but does not try his strength. "There is also a Jeremias, a 'Juniper tree Christian.' He does his utmost to find this world a 'vale of tears', or else he will try to make it such for himself and others. He creates woes for him self and envies the pleasures of others. The more miserable the nearer God. "A sojourners here it is our duty to meet and to face boldly anything that iay befall us in the providence of God. The weals of this life we should receive with joy and thanksgiving, the woes with patience and submission. They are meeted out by the same hand and prompted by the same heart, with our eternal welfare and happiness in view. "In the sorrows of life a Christian is not -without the comforter. To him every cloud of woe has a silver lining. Many are the wops of man which are the direct results of an unrighteous life. They too are lowering clouds over the pinner, hut have no silver lining. There are the thunder of the wrath of God and the consuming fire of his holiness. "There must be some great and hid den reasons why God must employ such an agent as woe to bring about his aims, since his name is Love and takes pleasure inthe happiness of his children. iWe cannot fathom these now. In the clearer light of eternity we shall Jlieir connection with our salvation and praise God. "Woes may be self-caused and yet belong to our experiences as Christians. The soldier goes out into battle and dies n the good cause of his country. The physician goes to minister to the sick and dying regardless of the disease and falls a victim to a dreaded contagian. The defender of truth and righteousness in our public assemblies, legislative halls and council chambers does dutv towards his people, and follows dictates of his conscience and the voice of God and will suffer for it in some wav. I sav the good and virtuous not all dead yet. They are found all professions and in all walks of life. The consciousness of having done one's duty regardless of results is worth more to a man than riches; or fame. It will carry him through many woes and sor rows, will uphold him in his final hour and the peace of heaven will sweeten his dying." Rev. W. S. Gilbert of the Presby terwn church i preaching a series of three s-rmons on "The Arena." The sermon of last evening was the second of the series on the theme, "Clearing for Action," Heb. 12:1, "Let us lay aside very weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set be fore us. He said in part: "Some men can't run much of a race because of constitutional difficulties of some sort. A man weighing two hun dred pounds, or a man of a lazy tem perament or with dissipated energies can't hope to win in a real nice. Train ing for a race begins seven generations back. A horse is a thoroughbred when he has seven generations of racing blood in his veins. Some men are not in the Christian race today because they have been born draft horses and not raeers. But most of us are not in the race be cause of weights we are carrying handicaps. Often our very pleasures bold us back. Sabbath dissipation often is a weight hindering our Christian life. "Sometimes our work is the hind- ranee. Six days of close work finds men eager for outing on Sunday and in time the Christian race is given up. There's many a reason why work ought to cease on Saturday at 4 o'clock if not all of Saturday afternoon. Then many aTe not in the race because of simple laziness, sheer, indifference. They like the broad, easy unrestrained. Xay! But the great hindrance is sin, which so easily be-ets us. TV- little boy a-ked a rreat question who wanted to know why it was so easy to remember bad things. The fact is that sin in us is the rreat hindrance in the Christian race. It isn't that men don't believe in Chrit. It is simply because of the sin of our life that we don't run a better race. Xot wickedness in overt art, but jin. "These hindrances we can lay aside if we want to and we can get ready for the race. Some have been so long get ting ready that it is high time they be gin the race. Let us run. To start well . . 1 m L ..l '1.1. - is halt the victorv. io start w no a fixed purpose, with a prompt decision, and at a pace that we can sustain. Many a race is lost in the very start. In the youth of life in the setting of the pace. A little of hesitancy or of diversion or of carelessness then is fatal. "There were four divisions to the old race course down the course to me three pillars and back again on the other side then down and back again the sroal ahvavs being at the starting place. Childhood, youth, middle age and the home stretch. In a real race such as is the Christian life each of these periods is equally important; any in difference in either quarter is to fail. "The race we are to run is the one that is set before us. We expend energy enough to win the race but many of li.s insist upon running when and how and where we please. To reach the goal we must run in a straight and nar row way."

The most eminent physician can not prescribe a better preparation for colic and diarrhoea, both for children and adults. The uniform success of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others. It never fails, and when re duced with water and sweetened, is pleasan to take. Every family should be supplied with it. Sold by Frank Hart, and leading druggist. Morning Astorian, 65c. per month.
