The gold hurled in the darkest of mines is llls. The pearls glistening ln the opened shells of the oysters lying by the coral reels among the entangled "gardens of tho seas"- are all His. The far reaching commandment which God spoke to Adam of old Hs speaks to us: "Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in` sorrow shalt thou 1-at of it all the days of thy life; thorns and thlstles shall lt bring forth to thee, and thou shalt ent. the lu-rb of the field; in the sweat. of thy brow shalt thou out bread till thou return unto the ground, for out of it want thou taken, for dust tlvii art, and unto dust. thou shalt rd- turn." '<‘C\ll'l0l its the ground for .thy 8 “ , Aksifl ! remember being struck with ,a practical illustration of what God meant by that smtence. Some years ago out in the country I was walk- ing over the hillsides overlooking a beautiful valley filled with rich farms. I said to the companion by my side: "Lookl Did you ever see n more beautiful country than that? God is certainly a. rich provider for His children." “Ycs,"- answered my companion. "but did you ever stop to think that though God's wealth is unlimited, He gives but. few of the necessities to man unless man is ready to work for them? God gives us the soil; God gives us the seeds. But the essential food products which come from that soil must be developed 'by unceasing toil. This fact is emphatically true of all the cereals# Then I commenced to pon- der ovor the words oi’ my friend, and I said: "Yes, you are right. Never since the fall of man has God pro- vided for man wheat or rye or corn unless man as a former will culti- vate those cereals. All kinds of weeds may grow wild, all kinds of thorns and thistles certainly do grow wild, but the cereals will not grow wild." From the earth man must ob- tain his brcnd. He must work or starve. The soil must be prepared; the seed must he sown; the harvest must. be gathered. The divine worn- ing to Adam that he and his des- cendants must labor for the means .of life has been fulfilled. Mun has been sowingwmd planting ever since. Other forms of vegetable life may grow wild, but. not the cereals. Let me remind you, too, how lim- itless ars the energies which God has in His control. Everywhere there is power and force, but man must patiently study and discover for him- self how to apply them to his pur- poses. Very slowly hns he learned the secrets of the world in which he is placed. God might have revealed the whole to him ot. the outset, but 1-is wished him to nnd it Am for hirnself, and as each source of power was discovered he must learn how to harness it aright that it muy do his bidding and rolicvo him of toil. Go to Niagara Falls nnd take your stand on the ledge ol rock culled Observation Point and Watch tlmt rush of water descending from the heights. What power is there to light; our cities, to boar our burdens, to illuminate our linbitntions! Yet for countless ages it has been ruu- ning Lo waste because man did not know how to harness it ariglil.. Stand on the seashoro and see the power in the incoming tide. Quietly und rosistlessly wuve siicci-f-(ls wnvo, breaking impofcntly on the rocks, _vet there is powor there that might bi- turned to ur-count. The littlc .strciinilet that turns the Wheel of thu village mill, grinding the Corn nnd wheat for ir whole volley, is feeble beside tho billows ol the Hou. ’l`hi.~;, too, num may _vvt lvurn to harness that it muy work for him. 'Pho st-crut is with the lrorrl. Mun must plun uutl ¢'ouil'i\'o und di-si|.;'|\ lu-l`ol'e he run ruustiei' it. Hu long us lu- sits ut eusi- und makes no vilurt it is risi-li-ss in him. Why should not God huvi- gi\`v|\ uruu this knowlvtlgn at tho beginning? llocailise he wished him to rlo\'clo|» his intl-llvct, lie Wish- ed to tc-uc-li him flint there was n rc- wurd for his labor. By the swcnt of his brow lu: must gain his bread. Ah, my friends, tliis problem that perplexos us, this distressing ques- tion of why God permits us to struggle along in poverty and hard- ship, flnds its solution in the Bible. It was not in vintlictiveuess or for His own sake that Ile cursed the ground. The seutoncc was beneflclnl nnd remedial, “Cursed is the ground for thy sake." (lofi is allowing the thorns and the thistlcs to grow wild instr-ud of tho wheat and the bnrli-y. Wl\_v‘I fly tho bayonet thrusts of those thorns God is driving us closer and closer to himself. Dy put- ting us in the tromlmill of unccasing daily toil God is teaching us to turn our eyes away from temptation. Ha is also teaching us to turn them to- ward hixnsolf. Work serves a useful purpose. Our toil and difficulty and sorrow are intended to draw us near- er to himself. When trust in God and love of ~him have filled tho hearts of men, when tho knowledge of God covers uhe earth as the waters covm- the sea, then poverty will have ful- filled its mission and will bo elimi- nutud from this wcury world, for then, Says Isaiah, “Instead of the thorn shall rome up tho fir tree, mul instead of tho bricr shall come up the myrtle tree, and it' shall be to thc Loiil for a nomo, for an ever- lasting sign that shall not. be rut off." Oh., sinner, thunk God to-day that lla makes your callous hand stick to the plow of daily toil in or- der that your feet. shall follow the narrowi and straight groove of vir- tue and truth and purity and gospel consecration and right. God could easily take out of this world all physical ailments if he would. 1-le could change the invalid chairs of the homes, the operating tables of the hospitals, the mcdicluo bottlus of the drug stores, the rnr trumpets of the deaf, the ambulance wagons and tho ana(-sthetics and tho splints and the bandages of n mili- tary surgeon's outflt. and mnke thorn as unsuitable nnd antlrpllrtml nr- tlclm for nimlorn use nn tho chop- sticlls of the 'Uhiueso would be for the Caucasian raoo Or the Niihllulrl of an Arab chlof would he for the short-legged Eskimo of tho Arctic. Ile could at a more word stmighti-n the crooked limbs and loosen the dumb lips and strengthen the wouk ll|@l. God did it ln the past; Ile gg; do it now. God is the same can read this truth in the looks of those who have been near to death's door. When Dante used _Y-0 through the streets of the city adoption' th, passersby would and look at him and in 0~“'° “There goes a ma-ll Wh? lm’ been in hell.'\'» When we see Cllrlsl-IMI arid' women who hlwl lui? ““‘l“' shadow of death in a s10l¢l'00m know' they have had exl>"i°D°°' have influenced them even QS be had when, with Virgil as his guido, he trod the hot, bliiifrflllii sands where dwelt and agoniwd t_l1° multitudes of thc "lost and the du' stroyed_"» We also know that their experiences of suffering have 111clu your [our com0th."< God will easily o\'i:rtl1l'o\\ his nilvcrsiuics when tho right timi- conicsi Ilut now evi-u sin luis its mis- sion. _'.l`l\e brittle against sin can dv-; vt-lop us, even us ri youth can he :lc- vclopcd in his struggles np;uiust Liu- trinls of tho \vurlii.~ Easy would it. bc for God to uuilu- dcutli an illrpossiliility. \\`bt~n (`lu'1_-t stood by thu bivr ol' "tho only sou i.|` his moih<'l'. and she a \\-ido\v," lu- wus uble to nuikc a silent curpsi- open its e_vi.-s -and sit up. lie said, "Young 'ruun, I any unto flu-te, nl'iS4‘!"
