Aggressive Christianity," took his text from st.
Matthew's Gospel Ia the words-"Aud he stretched
forth his hand toward his disciples and said. behold
my mother and my brethreni" These words, said the
preacher, referred to Chrisrs gathering about Him
tho elect; and blessed would be that servant who,
when the Lord calsth or comsth, shall DO found
battle hsrnessed and ready. He shall be MADE q
leader among tho elect, but the servant who Is
not ready win be down. The purpose OF
Christ. us expressed by Himself, Is ITO se,

hearts OF all men, The why SO many telescopes

Why, It may be asked. Ia Cyprus now

the believers RESISTANCE against evil should be Of
worlo character and that the Lord would decide

cret it is true; the salt, without
which the feast shall to a sensitive
person be tasteless. Yet one cannot
make a dinner upon salt alone. So
also to carry out the same idea the
guest must bring an appetite to the
meal. There are people whom you
cannot entertain, who never seem
satisfied whatever you may do for
their comfort, and who render it
difficult not to carry out too fully
the last duty of hospitality and
"speed the parting guest" with too
much alacrity, 1t is not easy to
oyerestimate the amount Of incor-
venience and discomfort which an
exacting, dissatisfied visitor can
cause in household. A person
perpetually on the lookout for
sights will keep the whole house
hold in hot water, and tax polite
ness to the utmost on the part of
the host and hostess. Most disa-
greeable of visitors, however, is she
(for it is usually a female relative)
who considers herself privileged to
find fault with all your arrange
ments; servants included, and who
is perpetually telling you how nice
things are at As, and what g

other may be represented by the
