First-Class Care Given to all Stock Left in my Charge . C . D. YEAGER, Prop. Choteau, Montana By Percy Reid McMaht n When hearts q,re sore and minds are perplexed with the problems of,life, we long for the clearer vision ol the eternal things. is earth man’s last abode? Is the grave man’s final resting place? These are the questions of every clime. They dwell in every finite breast “ If a man die shall he live again” is a question older far than the Book of Job. Everywhere and in every age the human heart has hungered for the great un known. Turning to Paul's ode on love, we find the interpretation of all these mysteries. “ Now we see through a glass, darkly but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.” To note the eelip°e of the sun or moon you have gone forth with a smoked glass. Why did you have the darkened glass? You re ply: “ T.ie sun light is too intense to behold with the unaided eye.’’ The eye seeking rapidly to re adjust itself to so great a change oft times perishes in the attempt. If the mind of man be too fra gile for full knowledge of things divine, let ns use the darkened glass, know in part until the reil may be withdrawn. Then shall I know fully even as I am fully known. Man’s life is like the winter day,' short and fleeting. If perchance it lingers ahd resembles the last autumn leaf, life is not long. One by one companions of his former years have left their places at his side to go he knows not where. Sad and alone, he endures the ele ments of time and sometimes he heaves a sigh as though he were wishingSthat he, too, had joined the countless throng of those who had moved onward when their individual work was done. Soon er or later he, too, must loose his hold on earth to seek repose amidst the myriads of departed souls. Youth is the springtime of life. It is then the countless influences mould the character of man. No cloud obscures the child’s vision of heaven and eternity. Their angels do always behold the face of our Father which art in heaven. It was while the preacher medi tated upon these things that he wrote: Remember now i hy creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, “ I have no pleasure in them,while the sun or the light or the moon or the stars be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strongmen shall how themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, and doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; also, when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, aud the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail, be cause man goeth to his long home and the mourners go about the streets: or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel bro- at the cistern. Then shall the dust uturn to earth as it was, One greater than the preacher if the Old Testament has said: ‘Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also .in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so 1 would have told you, for 1 go to prepare a place for you. And, if I go and prepare a place for you, 1 will come again amd I will re ceive you unto myself, that where 1 am there ye may be also.” Philip saith unto him and in so saying he became the spokesman for mankind: “ Show us the Father and it will be sufficient for us.” Man oft times forgets his infirmity of the flesh in longing for the clearer vision of God and eternity He would cast aside the darkened glass unmindful that no man can see God and live. Jesus answered Philip’s re quest to see God in these ever memorable words: Dost thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. The words that I say unto you I speak not from myself, but the Father abiding in me doeth his words. ” Had not the hymn writer caught the Master’s meaning, when he \\ rote: “ Only faintly now 1 see him, With ,the darkling veil between, But a blessed day is coming, When his glory shall be seen. W bat rejoici ug in his presence, When are banished grief and pain: When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain.” It is the inner response of the soul to the utterances be has made that holds men fust. Not creeds and dogmas, but the unreproach- able life o f the man of Galilee leads to faith in him. He went about speaking words of kindness and he spent himself in service for the betterment of the human race. It is at the sight of Golgotha’ s open grave that hope outruns our dim vision and faith lays hold of immortality. Content that he has called us, we press on toward the close of this earthly pilgrimage. With the thought of the hymn ever before him man should school himself to be content. Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on! The night is dark, And I am far from home; lead thou me on! Keep thou my feet: I do not ask to see The distant scene-one step enough for me. So long thy polver hath blest me, Sure it still will lead me on O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, ’Til the night is gone. Today the inner response to the Sabbath message causes men to ex perience, to some degree, the power of the resurrected life, but, tomorrow they go out single-hand ed to cope with problems and with men. The store, the office, the school room, the factory and the ranch require attention. And face to face with daily tasks of everyday life, when bent on earthly gain, man forgets his feeble frame aud his need for God He measures self by earthly standards, as he copes with men or uature, and is apt to lose his high ideals. The weight o f busi ness responsibilities that is heaped upon him causes him to faulter or to fail in his allegience to God. For the sake of gain, former friendships are broken. The man stands alone in fight for gain.
