My subject is one in which we
are all interested, for difficulties
are found in every life; in all
roads there are obstacles; by
evfry wayside there are pro-
jecting thorns that fasten upon
us to detain our upward march.
Then the question is not how to
escape difficulties, but how to meet
them. ‘ ...
In the first place the. way to
meet difficulties is to meet them.
Don’t skulk; don’t dodge; don't
sit with idle, helpless hands be-
moaning your fate, but “up and
at them. ” Look life squarely in'
the face. Many a difficulty that
arises black and terrible across
our wa^ would disappear like,
mist before the sun, if we would
only boldly face it. Then, having
faced our difficulties,. strive al-
ways to surmount them. »“He
that overcometh shall inherit all
things,” and though the obstacle
may prove unsurmountable we
shall at least overcome the Indol-
ence and cowardice of our own
nature, win strength for other
combats, and take our stand with
the heroic souls who have
“Never turned the back, But marched
breast forward, . * -
Never dreamed though right were
worsted, wrong would triumph,
Helc^ we fall to rise, are baffled to’light
> better,
Sleep to wake." • '•. .
Then we mast not meet difficul-
ties as though some strange thing
lad befallen us. The servant is
not greater than his Lord. We
are Cftmhaus^followers of Christ,
and his earthly pathway began
in a manger, passed through
Gethsemane, ended on Calvary.
And every saint in glory passed
upward by a similar route, and
you and I may not go by a differ-
ent one. ' ’
“Must I be carried to the skies,
On flowery beds of ease

Now, while we must meet our
difficulties, we should not hug
them to our hearts. Troubles
are.like eggs-^-brooding hatches
them. Whatever you do, don’t
discuss your difficulties with every-
body. A sore finger heals soon-
est when it is tied up. Besides
that, you have no right to make
the whole world a hospital for the
benefit of your wounds. I once
heard Bob Burdette say; “Belov-
ed, ydn have all heard the prov-
erb ‘Every cloud has a siivjfer lin-
ing,’ then the thing for you to do
with your cloud is to wear it
wrong side out.” But wearing
our clouds wrong side out does

desire his guidence, but at the
same time you must have your

your soul, but the daily ordering
of your life must be under your
supervision. We get so in !ov.e

sometimes, that fre can endure
no interference even from Him
in whose name we - profess t£ be
working. Every time our will

one of the greatest comforts of

But beware of too many confi-

chose twelve from the multitude
hat followed .him, and of the
twelve there were three that he
singled out to be with him on
occasions of special importance,
and of the three there was one
that came closer to his heart than
the others. Christian fellowship
is Indeed a blessed thing and
even when our sorrow lies'too

ing* the best efforts of the most
skillful diplomatists, it has at the
present crisis become almost in-
scrutably complex. Yet the
most:difficult problem at present
is not to determine what, ought
to be done, but to forecast what
will be done; it is not wlifether all
the powers of Europe ought to
unite to bully Greece? but
whether they*actually will unite
and keep their jealousies in abey-
ance long enough for the combi-,
nation to do its work. We do

Prof. Arnott has found that the
