TWO SEARCH WARRANTS ARE SWORN OUF Conntnlilc nnil Depnty ShtrlK ttnvu n Colltnlon , the. Rennlt Coiiflftentcil Ilcer nnil TTTO AVnltcm ArrcHled , iAn attempt on the part of Constable Albert ! to make another seizure at the Grand Plaza , Lake Manawa , yesterday after noon under n search warrant Issued from the court of Justice Vlen , resulted In a clash between the county and civil author ities. The search warrant was sworn to by Colonel F. C. Heed , who has declared his intention of preventing the sale of liquor contrary to law at the resort , which ho In former times owned. When Constable Albertl , accompanied by Ocorgo Baker and W.

Suhject U ( Inltc Fully Illncnnncil by HfV. AV. S. liiirncH. "Tho Ministry of Sorrow" was the subject taken by Kev. W. S. Barnes , pastor of the First Presbyterian church , for his sermon yesterday morning , the theme being sug gested by the many deaths that have occurred In the congregation this summer. His text was taken from Job xxlll , 10 ; "When He hath tried me I shall come forth as cold. " He said in part : "There Is always sorrow In the world , but we are not alwavs equally conscious of it. Just now many of us are- feeling its touch moro Keenly than usual. Within the circle of our own church wo have seen in the last few weeks strong men weeping , women prostrated with crlef. sunny youth over shadowed and made sadly serious by ser row. The thing accounted by many as only a remote possibility has become an actual fact and hearts are bowed with woe. What Is the meaning of all this sorrow and why does It come ? Is there anything good in it ? Is there any benefit to come to us ? Must the Christian simply bow to these things with a little moro of submlsslvcness and patience , but with only a feeling that it Is the stern decree of fate , from which there Is no possible relief ; n cup of unmolli- flcd bitterness ; a lacerated wound that will not heal ? Or are these sorrows somehow to minister good to us , so that while we can not escape them nor mitigate their palnfulness , yet wo ourselves are not to be left by them just as they found us ? Let us stop and think quietly today , In the stillness of God's house and under the In spiration of His presence. " 'When Ho hath tried me , I shall come forth as gold. ' Wo may acknowledge at once that God's hand Is in it all. We are not the victims of blind fate. Wo live in a universe of Intelligence , all of which is under the control and direction of one sov ereign hand. AVe need to remind ourselves of this when the shadows have settled about us and the sharsness ot our own Buffering has made us forget the larger world and the higher hand that rules It. "Sorrow softens. Pure gold Is softer than the alloys that are combined with It. Pass the Impoverished metal through the fire and you reduce the hardness by remov ing the dross. Sorrow seems to serve ns refining fire to us ; It burns out some of the baser metals , for the time at least. It Is good to weep. It makes us childlike. The child heart Is tender. It weeps easily. It has not become callous to pain , And wo adults arc reduced to the tenderness of childhood when something has brought us to the point of feeling nt which we ween. The human heart Is always tender under a real sorrow. Our hard feellnes are over come. Our llttlo animosities , our petty jeal ousies and hostilities all fade away. They are drowned out by the flood of present sorrow. Then we can forgive , we can love , we can pity as we did not do before. The depths of the soul are broken up by the penetrating stroke. "Sorrow strengthens. We never know how much wo can endure until wo have been put to the test ; and wo never know how much God can bo trusted until we have put him to the test. That which seems to exhaust for the present Is apt to be followed by a reaction , a reviving of strength In greater proportion. The great sorrow makes the little trdubles of life fade Into Insigni ficance ; and things that formerly greatly annoyed are now borne with little discom fort. Wo are weakened by a strain only for a time ; we shall be able to bear other strains more successfully. After being Btunned , dazed , crushed , a calm composure tennis to settle down upon the spirit that thenceforth bears the mark ot a stronger manhood or womanhood. There la a true dignity of manhood attained when there Is something deeper and stronger In the inner life than others can know. Sorrow refines and purifies. The gold Itself Is not de stroyed by the heat , only freed from Its Impurities , The soul Is not destroyed by sorrow ; only cleared of some of Its defects. When you see a person In middle life pos sessed of noticeable gentleness , mildness and sweetness of spirit you can be almost certain that somewhere back In that life's history there has been a great sorrow , which was accepted and borne in such spirit at the time as to leave Its Impress perma nently. The most delicate and beautiful of the human races have grown under a shadow , no that what you admire and enjoy and love so much you might wrep for in grati tude It you knew all the history of its de velopment. "Then sorrow rightly borne U not an un mitigated evil. It ha much to do with tb making of eternal quality In us. H purges us ot minor faults. It weans us from worldly affections. It reminds us that the spirit , the Inner life , Is the principle thing In us. I am sure that God Intends good to come to us through our sorrows. I am sure sorrow brings nil people nearer to heaven and settles forever the heart's belief In the reality of that unseen world. The avowed agnostic may scoff at the things that are unseen while he In In the usual buoyancy of spirit ; but when he stands be side the cold form of a loved one he can not scoff , he tempers his self assurance and says "If there Is a heaven , she Is there. " Grief banishes from the human heart the folly which says there Is no God , no heaven. Sorrow brings us to say , "There Is , there must be a better world than this , for my whole nature demands It.
