CONCLUSTON
Faith Before Experience.

The ten lepers were required by the
Saviour to perform an act Of faith in Him
before they had the slightest evidence in
themselves that He had. wrought good
work upon them. Before they began to
feel their foul blood cleansed, before the
horrible dryness of leprosy had yielded
to healthy perspiration, they were to 90
towards the house in which the priest
lived to be examined by him and to be
pronounced clean. They were to exhibit
faith in Christ Jesus power to heal them
by going to exhibit themselves as healed,
though as yet they were in the same con-,
dition as before. They were to start to
the place where they should be examined
by the priest, believing that Jesus had
healed them, or would heal them, though
as yet they had no internal evidence
whatever that their flesh should become
as that of little child This is the point
| wish to dwell upon-that the Lord
Jesus Christ bids sinners believe in Him.
and trust their souls to Him, though they
may not yet discern in themselves any
work of His grace. Just as these men
were lepers, and nothing but lepers, so
you may be sinners, and nothing but
sinners, and yet you are hidden to ex-
hibit faith in Jesus Christ while you are
just what you are. AS these men were
to start straight away to the priest with
all their leprosy white upon them, and to
go there as if they felt they were already
healed, so are you, with all your sinner
ship upon you, and your sense of con-
demnation heavy on your soul, to believe
in Jesus Christ just as you are, and you
shall find everlasting life upon the spot.
This is my point, and it is Of the first i'm
portance. Sinners, as sinners, are to be-
lieve in Jesus for everlasting life. The
voice to each >one of them is, Awake,
thou that sleepest, and arise from the
dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Spurgeon.

Presbyterian Churches. 1t is folly to
hope for, or to desire union between
these two Churches until these differences
are reconciled. And as long as one side
refuses to take the first and necessary
step towards reconciliation, it is worse
than folly for them to charge the other
with keeping up sectional and unneces-
sary schism.
If principles are worth anything, they
are worth maintaining at all costs. These
Churches separated on principle, or they
did not. If they did, they can best pre-
serve the unity of the Spirit by keeping
apart until they can agree. If they did
not, then let those who forced the sepa-
ration, remove the barrier or bear the
blame. If this is refused, union in such
case would be traitorous. hyr ocritical,
and disastrous. The unity Of the Spirit
is often best kept by keeping apart; for
thus only can the bond of peace be pre-
served x.

My Shepherd.

"I walk my darkened way alone
The light that on my pathway shone
Ia other days is dimmed and gone
But Thou, o Christ, art mine
Thy presence comforts, sOothes, and cheers,
Thy loving hand dries all my tears,
Thy smile dispels my darkest fears,
For Thou, o Christ, art mine
So, though walk my way alone,
So, though no shepherds care own,
My trusting heart shall make no moan,
Since Thou 0 Christ, art mine
Where Thou hast placed me, Thou wilt keep
Thy love is high, Thy love is deep:
The Shepherd knoweth all His sheep,
And Thou, o Christ, art mine
Oh, let my feet no longer move,
But fold me in Thy perfect love;
And when l reach Thy courts above,
Thoult own me, Christ, as Thine"

"Have you thought about the love of
the Spirit? Have you realized that
Gods loving Spirit says to you, Come?
Are you conscious that if you refuse to
listen to this gentlest call, you are griev-
ing the Holy Spirit of Cod vexing'
Him by the rebellion to which this re-
tusal really amounts resisting the Holy
Ghost whose power alone can work in
you the holiness without which we can
never see the Lord Every Come + in
the Bible is the call of the Spirit. For
all Scripture is given by inspiration Of
God, and the holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
And every time that still, small voice
in your heart says Come, it is the call
of the Spirit. Every time the remem-
brance Of the Saviours sweetest spoken
words floats across your mind, it is the
Holy Spirits fulfllment Of our Lords
promise that He shall bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever 1 have
said unto you. Title Royal limitation,

A minister who had lost his child asked
another minister to come and preach for
him. He came and told how he lived on
one side of a river, and felt very little
interest in the people on the other side
until his daughter was married and went
over there to live, and then every morn
ing he went to the window and looked
over that river and felt very much con-
cerned about that town and all the peo-
pie there. Now" said he, al think
that as this child has crossed another
river, heaven will be much dearer than
ever it has been before" Shall we not
Just let our hearts and affections be set
on the other side Of the river? 1t is but
step; it is but a veil we shall soon be
in the other world.-Woody

before Presbytery and pass satisfactory
examination for ordination within two
years after his licensure he shall no long
er exercise the duties of a Ruling Elder.
unless again elected to the office in the
same or another church.
WHAT IS DESIRED.
Let some of our influential Presbyteries
take this matter in hand and overture
the General Assembly for the appoint
ment of a committee to examine this sub
ject with a view of submitting recommen-
dations for Presbyterial action: such re-
concentrations to embody the two follow
ing suggestions:
l. No one shall be eligible for ordina-
ton to the office of Ruling Elder except
he is first a probationer for that office by
action of the Session.
z. A probationer for the office of Rul-
ing Elder must be examined and ordained
by Presbytery before having authorityin
any church court, other than the Session,
as ruler.
CONCLUSION
Brethren, one of two things must he
true-either the Presbyterian Church has
exalted the Ruling Eldership beyond BIZ
BILE authority or Bible precedent; or the
Presbyterian Church has fallen far below
Bible authority or Bible precedent in her
requirements for ordination to that office.

that you ought to be praising, much
more than mourning over your want of
better feelings Only let me pant after
this one thing, that Jesus may be exalt-
ed, and l nothing. 1t is the Lord love

want to look at Him till 1 am not. This

more love to God and more holiness, but
when / lose myself, and see Him to be
my wisdom, righteousness, sanctifcation,

ing Elders do not labor in the word or
