And thi* i*»ure to augget itself to yoi as you read the atoiy. that Job. in hu trouble, would have lost nothing and gained very much if lie had not been - ; — pitient in coming lo the conr.usiun God had left him. that life was a apple of Sodom, that hr had backed _ r . great walla of fate and he bad not a friend W ft on the earth. Hi* soul, looking through her darkened window*, concluded the heaven* were dark. The nerve, quivering at the gentlest touch, mistook the ministration of mercy for a blow. Hr might have found some cool shelter for his agonv; he preferred to ait on tbe ashew in the burnmg sun. He knew not where the next lobe was to come from: this did not deter him from tearing to shred* the robe lhat wa* to .helter him from the keen w-indv. It vra. a dreadful trial at the best; it was worse for hu way of meeting it; and. when he wa. at once in the worst health and temper possible, he said: "Why is ligt%given to a man who** way u hid?" I. not this now. as it wa. then, one of the n oat serums mistake, that can be made? I try to aolve great problem, of providence. perhaps, when I am ao unstrung aa to be entirely unfitted to touch their more aubt'e. delicate and far reaching harmonic.

When I sm in trouble, then, and darkness coma down me like a pall, tbe tint question ought ... be, “How much of thi. unbelief about proeidence and riife, like Cowper's score of the unpardonable sin. cornea from tbe most material disor^anizatiou? la tbe darkness I feel in the aoul, or i* it on the ' J ow. through which the aoul moat • Then. <ucar on thi. matter, tbe tried ao will rndaavor to stand at tbe tret, where thi. «ad hearted man stood at the last, ia the shadow of the .Almighty, if be must stand in a shadow, and bold on o the confidence that somewhere within .'J thia trial ia tbe eternal, tbe ahadow of a great rock in a weary land.
