"THE GREAT PHARMACIST"---FRANK L. COX

                                 THE GREAT PHARMACIST

      "We  know that to them that love God all things work together

           for good, even to those that are called according to His

      purpose." ( Romans 8 ;28)

     All things are not good; but those  people with rightly

           directed affections"all things work together for good."

     A young man relates his story of a visit to a pharmacist

           in his shop. He found him at the counter piling up

     powders on three pieces of paper. When asked what the

           powders were, the pharmacist replied that they were

     poisons. The visitor then asked if there was enough in

           the three heaps to killl a human being. "There is enough

     to kill more than a dozen human beings," was the relpy.

          What did he intend to do with these poisons? He was

     informed that medicines were made after this fashion.

           "What, making medicines out of poisons that kill people?"

     The pharmacist smilingly replied,"When properly mixed,

           they do not kill, they cure."

     If life were one round of pleasure, it would kill. If life were

          one round of sorrow, it would crush.

     When the various experiences are mixed together by

         the great Pharmacist, "they do not kill, they cure."

               God works in a mysterious way

                    His wonders to perform.

               Blind unbelief is sure to err,

                    And scan his work in vain.

               God is his own interrpreter,

                    And He will make it plain.
