"Joy Cometh In the Morning."
A night of weeping six thousand
yearn long. Involving suffering and nor
row to twenty-thousand millions, is an
awful thought. Hut tho proposition Is
yet a different ono when wo remember
that the majority of Adam's chlldreo
die In Infancy and that to thone who
live their threo scoro yoar nud ten
with labor and sorrow, there nro pleas
lug and happlfylng experiences, un well
an tears. And wheu wo read that even
the tears of a few yoara are a purl of
the disciplines. Instructions and expert
ei -e which Ood designs shall bo val
uable, lessons In preparation for n
f.lorlous and Joyous eternity then the
whole matter begins to have a new as
pect to our minds. If tho light atlllc
1 tons of thl j present time will work
o-!t bles.ilagn for eternity then we can
re,ok'o In them for ourselves, our
neighbors and all humanity. And this
In tho Dlvlno proosltlun. Not that
God linn over proposed ctcrunl llfo for
a single rebellious soul, but that ho has
prepared blessing for all of Adam's
race who shall como Into full harmony
with himself. At present ho In teach
lug groat general lcsKomi to humanity

of sin. It would be too bad If, as these
lessons nro learned, thero should ho
no opportunity of protlting by them
llut there will be an opportunity of
profiting, and this In tho groat meiwu.o

through Christ.
The ilht of weeping, six thousand
yearn long, is nbout to bo followed by
tho morning of Joy. Tho Now Day, In
which darkucsH nud sin will bo abol
ished and In which tho Sun of night
tHuiMiienn will hloss and heal tho world
of mankind, h a Thousand-Year Day
for tho bktonlng and uplifting of our

Fcrlboa that day In most glowing terms.
It is the day of Mcaulnh, tho day lu
which Qod'a Kingdom shall como nud

aud needy will is) lifted up from the
dunghill of superstition nud depravity,
tho dny In which tho knowledge of tho
glory of God shall till tho wholo earth
And there shall bo no moro fear.
That day will not end as do others. It
will not bo followed by a night, but
lead on to a glorious eternity for nil of
God's creatures who appreciate Divine
goodness and. using tho Divinely pro
vided opportunities will return to full
harmony with their Creator. Such he
will in turn rocognlzo us his nous nud,
at his right hand of favor, tbny will

Tho Revelation of Our Qod,
Ono of old truly said, "Thou art a
God which hldest thyself" (Isaiah xlv,
IC). How true! Aa u result tho world

hath wrought and our temporary blind
