folly of Adam and Eve, by trusting the
lying promises of the Devil, while doubt
ing and despising the promises Of God;
refusing to be warned by the experience
Of others, but each trying the hazardous
experiment for himself. There is only
one way of accounting for it" their
deeds are evil, and they love darkness
rather than light.
".The fool hath said in his heart there
is no God" but the Holy Spirit tells us
that, the fear of the Lord is the begin
ming of wisdom Again the Apostle
Paul warns us thus: "Be not deceived;
God is not Knocked: for whatsoever man
soweth, that thall he also reap. For he
that soweth to his flesh, shall Of the flesh
reap corruption; but he that soweth to
the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. And let us not be weary in
well doing for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.
MY soul, wait thou only upon God
for my expectation is from Him. He
only is my rock and my salvation; He
is my defence, l shall not be moved
Trust in Him at all times: we people,
pour out your heart before Him. God is
a refuge for US. R.

the fellowship of the mystery which from
the beginning of the world hath been hid
in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ; to the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the Church
the manifold wisdom Of God.
He who would become glorious must
lie beneath the cross, and take up his
cross. The Ethiopian cannot change his
skin by looking at the SUM- but the vilest
sinner can become resplendant with glory
by looking at the cross. The sight Of it
breaks the hinty heart, melts the frozen
heart, softens the hard heart, purifes the
defIed heart, WHITES the dead heart, and
gives sweet rest to the weary heart which
has long grasped the treasures Of earth,
and found no satisfaction. Good forbid
that 1 should glory save in the cross of
Christ" P. T. P.

pensation, the same duty remains. God
still requires and permits His people. as
He has always done, to lay aside for Him
part, a definite part, Of what He yearly
gives them. This part is at least an hon
est tenth, for surely "the Lord Christ
does not now demand, and will not
now accept, from the Christian less than
the old. Patriarch gladly. gave to Je-
hovah. This (tenth) then is the n1''''-
mann that God expects and requires from
His people now, as always the maximum
is " all that a man hath" And between
these two (the tenth and the all }
a the law Of love is to work, but not be-
Zolo the minimum. This l believe to be
Gods law for His people, now and It'll
He come. G. L. L.

Encouragement from the Past

The manuscript diary of Mr. Henry R.
Storrs, a member of Congress from Cen
trail New York fifty years ago, has been
deposited with the Historical Society Of
Buffalo. Like the diary Of every active
public man Of intelligence, it speaks with
great bitterness of the corruption and
narrowness of politics and the wrath of
party spirit. During the session of 1927,
Mr.. Storrs says that all the leading men
of the opposition refused to attend Mrs
Clay's parties or to call at Mr. Clay's, who
was then Secretary of State. He records
at about the same time that Mr.. -, of
the Senate, had fight with Mr. -, in
the House, and that they were separated
by the by-standers. He groans that
strangers would think us nation of
black guards if they could see the per-
formances of Congress. Mr.. Storrs was
Federalist, and he and his friends thought
that the coming of Jackson was the end
of all things, as Fisher Ames and the Es-
sex Junto thought of the coming of JEFF
ferson, nearly thirty years before. In the
same way Lord Eldon and his associates
lamented the Reform Act in England,
and Lord st. Vincent regarded the aboli-
ton of slavery in the West Indies as the
overthrow of the bulwarks of English
liberty.
If anybody finds his political faith
wagering, let him read a little history.
If he thinks we are sweeping rapidly
along the broad road of destruction, let
him take heart as he observes that other
people have been in very much worse
plight, yet have not been overwhelmed.
1t is not mere happy-go lucky philosO-
ply which assures man that a great
self-governing community, mainly of the
English race and tradition, cannot easily
be ruined. 1t ought not, certainly, to
teach him Indifference, nor tend to foster
the complacent faith that Providence
takes especial care of children, drunkards,
and the United States. But it should
keep his cheerfulness in good repair, and
enable him to see how much of party
fervor is Pickwickian.-HarperS Maga-
zine for December.

Christ, and members in particular" 9th
verse. May grow up into him n, in all l.
things, which is the head, even Christ,
Eph. iv: Is.
Christ "in us" united with, eye are the
body of Christ, and made complete by,
(Which is the head even Christ, with
hundreds Of other Scriptures to cement
the thought more firmly, gives us a clear
er insight into the Mystery, the hid
den wisdom Of God.
That Almighty God, in wisdom too,
should give man, in the person OF LIS
Son and the Bride, universal dominion,
is thought 50 far-reaching that it is al
most impossible for poor, weak humanity
to grasp it, and yet it is true. The body
of Christ, the Church, the Bride, the
Lambs wife, is the Mystery"
1t was this for which the Lord prayed
the Father in these touching words !;
"And the glory which thou gavest me,
I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one, in them, and
thou in me, that they may be made per
feet in one. ELDER.

For the Central Presbyterian.
ENCOURAGEMENT.

Our blessed Saviour's loving heart is
full of sympathy for the weary and OPP
pressed, and when He was upon the earth
He continually manifested wonderfully
tender appreciation Of and pity for human
suffering.
His mission here was love, He went
about relieving sorrow and distress, and
has left us not only His blessed example,
but the command, Bear ye one anothers
burdens.
Weary, burdened hearts are on every
side, to whom smile, word, a look OF
Christian sympathy and encouragement
would come as the refreshing draught to
fever-parched lips or as the cool breeze
after sultry summer heat. How small
the cost of such smile, Of such a word
How blessed to render such a seryicel
An humble beggar asks us not in vain
for charity, and as we bestow only our
mite, the Lord sitting over against His
treasury takes note even Of this, and
counts it as given to Himself. But not
alone to the poor should we give our
aims. Many polished exterior hides a
heart most weary; refined culture may
90 in hand with refinement of grief and
to these how welcome is breath of cheer.
True, they may know sympathising Sa-
viour, but does not our blessed Lord teach
us to "reioice with them that do rejoice,
and weep with them that weep.
Surely every heart bears its own weight
of sorrow; some heroic lives are silent and
unknown. We may never know, but let
Christian sympathy beam in our eyes,
Christian love brighten our smiles, and
fainting hearts like withered flowers in
the dew, will freshen and smile back upon
US their gratitude Such love is heaven
born, and breathing the odor of heaven,
marks its possessor as Gods child.
Alas, that we have so little of this love,
and bear our scanty store so closely In
our own bosoms that few but ourselves
know it's existence.
The time of trial is the time for en-
couragement, the moment of peril is the
moment for kind assistance, and the tardy
soul who offers either when the hour of
need has passed, seems but to mock us.
Too often alas, when life's battle is
fought, when the weary spirit loosed from
earthly care has taken its flight, and is at
rest, and the cold hands lie crossed, then
with fearful eyes friends strew flowers,
and whisper then too late the words Of
commentator, and eulogy that uttered
in life might have borne with them
strength and comfort.
Truly such service for cur blessed Mas
ter should be most sweet to u.s. God
grant that our hearts may be so filled
with His love, that they may go out in
loving sympathy to all who are in sor-
row, and that at last we may hear the
blessed words addressed to US" mas
much as We did it to one Of the least of
these my brethren ye did it unto me:
NJ. R.

Mr.. STURGEON takes high ground re-
speeding the right of ministers who have
once fallen into immortality to be restored
to their places. He says:
open immortality, in most cases, how
ever deep the repentance, is fatal sign
that ministerial graces were never in the
mans character. Caesars wife must be
above suspicion, and there must be no ugly
rumors as to ministerial inconsistency in
the past, or hope of usefulness will be
slender. Into the Church such fallen
ones are to be received as penitents, into
the ministry they may be received if God
puts them there; my doubt is not about
that, but as to whether God ever did
place them there and my belief is that
we should be very slow to help back to
the pulpit men, who, having once been
tried, have proved themselves to have too
little grace to stand the crucial test of
ministerial life. "
If it is high ground, it is yet the true
one. To deal tenderly with offenders is
always a duty, and the door of the
Church ought to be open easily to those
who confess their sins and ask re-admis-
sion to its membership. But there is
plainly difference when it comes to the
ministry. 1t is there not simply ques-
ton of right repentance or good inten-
lions for the future, but Of influence as
well, and the risk is too great to be UNI
dertaken thoughtlessly by Church courts,

FIRST CALL.

From the German.
FIRST CALL.
o slumberer, rouse thee despise not the truth,
But give thy Creator the days of thy youth;
Why standest thou idle the day breaketh-see
The Lord of the vineyard is waiting for thee.
SOUS ANSWER.
Holy Spirit, by thy power
Grant me yet another hour;
Earthly pleasures would prove
Earthly Joy, and earthly love
Scarcely yet has dawned the day
Holy Spirit, wait, pray
SECOND CALL.
o Ioiterer, speed thee the morn wears apace;
Then sauander no longer the moments of grace
But haste, while there's time, with the Master
agree;
The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting for thee
Souls ANSWER.
Gentle Spirit, stay, oh stay
Brightly beams the early day;
Let me linger in these bowers;
God shall have my nOOntide hours.
Glide me not for my delay;
Gentle Spirit, wait, pray.
LAST CALL, AT THE ELEVENTH Hour.
0 sinner, arouse thee thy morning is past
Already the shadows are frightening fast
Escape for thy life from the dark mountains

The Lord of the vineyard yet waiteth for thee.
Souls ANSWER.
Spirit, cease thy mournful lay;
Leave me to myself pray;
Earth hath flung her spell around me,
Pleasures silken chain hath bound me-
When the sun his path hath trod
Spirit, then I'll turn to God.
Hank borne on the wind is the bells solemn

IT'S mournfully pealing the kneel Of soul
The Spirits sweet pleadings and strivings are
Ger;
The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting no more
