months If IL hadn't been for the Holy Ghost

the Holy Ghost? Is there any eloquence
or any orators in the world to turn the cur
rent of mems whole lives and make sober
men of them That is the work OF the
Holy Ghost. That fact is established, isn't
it 7 The next great fact that this Bible
teaches is that he is coming again.
al will come again" That is the key
note of the fourteenth chapter of John Not
that he is going to send death after u.s. not
that he is going to send some angel after
us, but 81 am coming myself that is his
promise. The Word of God teaches that
my Lord himself is coming back for his
bride. He came down into this world to
get him bride, and the world rose up and
cast him out and said he should not have it..
But he went away into the heavens and took
his seat at the right hand of God and he has
been eighteen hundred years gathering out
his bride, and when the last one is gathered
up he will take that bride away.
There is no place in Scripture where we
are told to watch for signs, or for the re-
building of Babylon, or for the return of the
Jews to Palestine, or for the building of Je-
rusalem, but all through Scripture we are
told to watch for himself, Just to be wait
ing for our Lord from heaven.
That is the attitude of every true believer
in this world-looking for the Saviour--lons
girded lamps trimmed and burning, like
those five virgins watching for the coming
of the bridegroom. And thank God, the
cry is being raised now through the nation,
Behold the Bridegroom cometh; !" and let
us be waiting when he may come
Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ"
In the last chapter of Revelation the cry is,
Come quickly, Lord jesus" and that ought
to be the cry of every saint throughout
Christendom, and of every child of God.

Fidelity to Trusts.

1t is not every man who is fit to take care
of other peoples property. And the man
himself ought to know his own weaknesses
and refuse a trust that may tempt him to
wrong. But if he has become a trustee, the
vow is ON him, the load is on him, and the
danger is before him. Now let him look
about him and see that the tempter is not
allowed to come into the secret chamber OF
his soul. The easiest of all slides into sin is
in the use of other peoples money for the
sake of doing a good thing with it, The
trustee sees a chance to improve the prop
erty in his hands by taking a risk with it :;
or he would build up his own fortunes by
the temporary use of the funds in his hands,
promising himself that he will return them
with large interest, when he has gained his
ends. Or he would do friend good turn
by letting him have the use of the money
just for little while to get by a tight place,
And then comes the slip up; the disappoint-
ment; the failure the fall the defalcation
the ruin. lie meant well. His motives were
good. He would have shrunk from stealing
as he would from touching the plague but
he has taken another mans property with
out his consent, and cannot restore it, 1t is
gone, irretrievably gone, and with it peace,
confidence, honor, happiness, all gone; he is
an unfaithful trustee, and goes down under
a cloud, He is to be intensely commiser-
ated, and is to be taken by the hand and
held up, il he laments his errors and seeks
to regain his ground, and to restore the prop
erty lost by his unfaithfulness. But no
pity, no help, will ever heal the wound in his
heart who has thus wronged his felow-men.
The wrong was done when the
deed was DONE not when the disastrous con
sequence disclosed it. The cashier who
robs the safe with the intention of returning
the money when he has made successful
speculation, was thief when he took the
money, and no more so, and no worse, when
he failed of his purpose and was detected
And the guardian who puts his wards prop
erty into danger for his own good, is unfaith-
full when he makes the venture, and not
more so when he and his confding friends
are ruined - Observer

Mistaken Kindness.

The father who for portion of his life
has struggled with poverty is unwilling his
children should have a similar experience
So he denies himself indulgence in even
necessary things, that he may save and make
for his family. The mother, remembering
how irksome household tasks were to her in
her girlhood, permits her daughters to lead
lives of domestic ease and indolence think
ing in so doing she makes the best maniies-
taton in her power of maternal love As a
natural consequence of this view on the
part of parents we see growing up all around
us young men and women perfectly useless
for all the practical purposes of life-unablr
TO cope with misfortune. Intellectual or
moral fibre is not inherent; it must be built
up from within, and is the result of indie
pendent thought and action. The sooner
boy can be made TO wait upon himself, to
think for himself, to act for himself. the
sooner will the germs of true manhood begin
to develop within him. 1t is no kindness
to surround him with such attention and
care that he will not be compelled to learn
the lessons of seli.reliance, OF patient in
dustry, of persistent hope. The real crowns
OF this world are crowns Of labor.

the Bible would try their hands at making
better book, book that would take hold
upon the heart of humanity; which would
interest children and comfort old age which
would inspire manhood and womanhood

which would chasten them in joy, and COM

duce the first page of such book as this,
we would gladly listen to what they have to
say But this eternal faut-fnding this
everlasting negation this seeking to rob
people of healthful and comfortable faith,

parading of a few worn-out sneers and OBJ
