Troubles Overruled

 

 Affliction Overruled

 

Noticing that window-glass exposed near the seashore soon loses its polish by the sand constantly blown against it, an American has invented a new way of grinding and etching glass.

 Instead of the usual acid, he uses fine quartz sand, and this is driven with great force by a blast of air against the glass, and in fifteen or twenty seconds an embossed design can be produced.

The parts meant to be deadened are exposed, while those intended to remain polished are covered. The storm of wind and sand work the lovely design. So God often makes afflictions work soul-beauties in us that else would never be seen.
