Con centrAf1On 2 d Intensity of Christian
 Effort and Purpose.
 Rev. Dr. Hawes, the pastor, preached at North church yesterday morning from the text. II Timothy, third chapter, tenth and eleventh verses, ''But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, charity, patience. persecu-t tions, afaictions, which came unto me at Antioch. at Iconium, at Lystra; what perse- cutions I endured; but out of them all the Lord delivered me-"
 This boosting. if so it may be called, of the apostle Paul is reasonable and right, to keep in mind and to establish simply right views his life experiences. It is evidence by 8 faithful witness of truths necessary to be known. Attention was called by the speaker to Timothy's percentage and education, but particularly to his conversion as one made through Paul's own efforts; illustrating the value and importance of single soul con- verted and saved by individual efforts. Every member of the church needs to be worker for the master. While so engaged Christ, by the Holy Spirit, aids every effort. His trans forming, sanctifying power is given in ever increasing power to the saver and the saved ones Intensity of effort directed to one object was shown to be far more effective than if turned to greater number. After seed sowing constant and unceasing and un- wearied effort is needed. Thus only can we bring 'the harvest home." The sermon was a great encouragement and call to active Christian effort
