WEAK FAITH.-The lack of faith is
the great, crying sin, not of an ungodly
world only, but eminently of Christians.
1t is the littleness of our faith which
makes us dwarfs in spiritual stature !;
towards in conflict and in enterprise !;
narrow minded in our views and plans
of duty and niggards in sacrifice and
in contribution to the cause of Christ.
Yes, it is the sin and the misery even
of the sincere disciples of Christ, that
the promises of God have so little daily
influence Oh their practical habits.
Christians be afraid of unbelief; be
ashamed of unbelief; only believe, and
act as if you believed, and you shall
''see the salvation of God."-ReU. Sam

Work for Souls,

those in heaven, whom he had instIu
mentally saved "For what is our hope,
or joy, or crown of rejoicingg Are not
even We in the presence of the Lord
Jesus Christ, at his coming p
Christian disciple, are you willing to
go home to heaven with not one soul to
present to Christ not one soul whom
ty, as saved in connection with your en-
deavOr? Who would cOvct the heaven
of such an one ? Many opportunities
you have already suffered to pass by
unimproved but you may yet ''save a
soul from death, and hide a multitude
of sins" If you feel the force of no
go to the cross of Christ, and there
study your obligations anew. Consider
alsu how ready is God to bless the
humblest efforts of his children. Wait
not for opportunities to do some great
work. Use such as aOw present them

to drop word for your Master-to i'm
press soul with saving truth,-t bring
back wanderer to the favor and the
fold of God. Do it with much prayer.
The carrier-pigeon first flies directly
upward, and then outward to its desti-
nation. So in your errands of mercy /;
first mount upward ON wings OF faith
towards heaven, and then haste to do
the Masters bidding. And be not
weary in well doing; for in due season,
you shall reap, if you faint not.-ReU.
