FAITH.


There is great danger that we confound
the words faith and profession. 1t is posi-
BILE for US to make creditable profession OF
religion, and live in the main consistent
life, and yet be destitute of that faith with
out which the Apostle says it is impossible to
please God. We may live under the roof Of
another and share the blessings of his liber-
ality, and still never have one of those pecu-
liar emotions which the child experiences for
a parent We may feel that we are strangers.
Faith and love are inseparably connected.
Where there is no love there is no faith.
There may be profession and yet no love- A
sound creed is very necessary; but genuine
faith is of more Importance. Too often do
we conclude that we are believers, because we
have made creditable profession of religion.
This is placing things out of their natural
order. If we have been born from above, we
profess religion because we have faith. Faith
goes before profession, but there may be a
profession when there is no faith. Not un-
unfrequently we confound faith with the ar
ticles of our creed. This also is dangerous
mistake. The object of saving faith is Christ
and him crucifed. Around him the tendrils
of the heart twine. True and saving faith
lifts the soul away from self and places it on
the rock of ages 1t takes it from behind a
refuge of lies and places it beneath the cross,
there to be shielded by the blood of the Lamb
of God. The object of saving faith is not
creeds and confessions but Christ Jesus.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1873-03-13

bg- There is disposition on the part of
some of our farmers to underrate the advant-
ages of their profession, and to express doubts
Of its pro6tableness, if they do not even 60
further and say openly that farming don't
pay" Well, it don't pay some people who
pretend to be farmers, and they don't deserve
to be paid for their lazy, inefficient dawdling.
Trade would not pay, nor law, nor medicine,
if conducted in the same way. 1t is intelli-
gent skill and persevering industry which
pays in all branches of business. Ask the
successful mechanic how he makes his trade
pay, and he will tell you that it is simply the
result of his knowledge Of his business-the
skill acquired by years of careful application
of scientific principles to his art-and of ju-
dicious management. Farming pays in the
same way.
