TV ,r . v , " THE .BENEFIT OF SUFFERING. ' Dr. ,Vann preached on the subject of suffering saints, sanctified saints, and singing ' saints, a basing- his ser imon on the words of fit John . in - Revelation 7:14-15; These are they ' - which came out of great tribulation, ' v and haw washed their robes, -and made them white in the Wood of the 'Lam to. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day 1 : And night la hi temple. ' "The expression 'suffering saints', la .. strange -language, I know- to the younger people before me," said Dr. .' - Vannr In beginning his sermon. "They , do not understand that suffering is . an essential part of the Christian ; life. Nevertheless It Is; suffering is . necessary to . the make-up of ' every V Christian life. Jesus said, that all . Christians would at times experience suffering in this life and they do. "Sufferna; and happiness are more closely allied than we often realize, : Just a daylight and dark are nearer akin than we know, and the same is true of laughter and tears. Daylight . and dark are' Joined in that beautiful -hour we can twilight; the orator that can move men and women to laughter can move ; them .the next fflilnute . to . tears.

"John tells us of an Innumerable host who was singing In heaven.' Every one ' who got hlmlf washed in ' Christ's blood was in heaven. -AH the white-robed throng was singing not t only the strong ones like Paul, Wes niy, Knox and Spurgeon, but the weak 'ones as welt.

There the service of muMc is tireless. Everyone can sing there; everyone here cannot, and I . . am sorry to hear some of them try it. The song that is sung In heaven is a, new song the song of Moses and the Lamb. We do not know that song here, but all the saved In heaven Join Jn its singing.'' 1 , - DIL HOLLAXD OX THE SABBATH.

This Is the supreme purpose of the Sabbath. Thus it Is made for man -for -man's highest good. 8ad will be the day when a community by official enact ment, shall be educated into the be lief that- on the -Sabbath day, : the word ot God -and an open sanctuary for worship are not the supreme thing."
