,r .y.-s J, ;v : Sunshlns nd Fruition. 'Ay sunshine makes the desert." So runs an Arab proverb', and the Arab is an ' authority on sunshine ' and desert From the day thai Ish fltael lay moaning under the scant shelter of the desert shrub, while the blaeing- sua and the scorching: sands were drinking up his young life, bis children have followed the the trails of the waste, . And they 3tnow that the cloud is the only sal ration of the wilderness. Were one of the extravagant -schools of opti mists, to whom all evil is imaginary and all irood, therefore only half Teal, to picture to a son of Ishmael world of cloudless sunshine, the desert-born would shake his head. That would be to him but a vision of the plain of death. In theOldTesta raent there are no longing, earnest, anxious prayers for sunshine. The Jew of old prayed for the early and latter rains; the one to vivify the seed sown, and the second to in vigorate with fresh vitalitty of crowinar trrain.nearinir the harvest time. "Hear thou and give rain upon thy land." He strained his eyes to see. not a clear sunrise-from the unveiled sun he shelterd his face and shaded his eyes. But he gazed with many prayers for a clouda little cloud, ' no bigger than a man's hand." That was the shadow of God's hand. That would bring blessing to the land. When the people of Israel for got God and turned to the worship of Baal, the sun god, Jehovah smote the land with the curse of sunshine the desolation of cloudless skies, until the springs failed; the brooks ran dry, the fields were black and the harvest withered on the ground and the men and cattle died, and all over the land went up the prayer for rain for the clouds made bright with lightnings; for the blessings of the downpour of the tempest. There can be nolife without rain, and there is no rain without clouds. The very unborn seeds under the ground pray for the cloud as for the sun shine. A tiny ererm lifts a pale green face above the clouds. "What is that out there?" whispered his half awak ened comrades of the darkness. "Nothing but sunshine," sigrhs the disappointed vidette.and they sleep again. But one day a great c'.oud comes up out of the sea, with the trumpets of the wind sounding be fore him; the guns of the thunder answer,and the pattering rain beats the inspiring reveille of sprining up on the dead leaves, and, the desert blossoms like a rose; the world is radiant in the ressurrection of the rain called to life by the blessing of the elbud! We must learn through suffering how to live for others- If you live for yourself if that is your ideal of life; if you are determined that you will not be your weaker brother's keeper, then, of course it doesn't make any difference , where or how you live on the sun-stricken desert or in the ice caps of the mountains or down at the bottom of the sea. The ntterly selfish man is not in any of God's plans. But if yon are ne of God's men or women, until you have learned to see the bright ness of the clouds, you have much to learn of his love and wisdom. Why, my children, what are the dearest memories of your lives? Your holiday? The hours of joyous pastime with happy friends, when the sunshine and the flowers bloomed; when the air rippled with light laughter from lighter hearts?These are not the days that linger longest and most tenderly in your hearts. The memories that are sweet as the fragrance of violets press din the leaves of the book of love, and sorrow, and comfort, resting on the heart some favorite chapter, are the the memories of sorrow some sor jow that with the healing and con. secretion of time have made "sor rowjnore beautiful than beauty's self." But for the sufferings and strength of the men and women in the ages past, we would today be weaklings; but for their courage we would be cowards; but for the heroes of faith In every age, how dull and poor would be the history of the race in ailneiaving world.
