EDITED BY THE W. C. T. Q.

Many well-rnean1ng people in our churches
talk of the social problems of the day, be-
wall tue sad state of things, theorice and
speculate as to what ought to be done, but
meanwhile do nothing, absolutely nothing,
to improve them Eliphaz, the Te1nanite,
once asked concerning wise man, ''Shoul |
he reason with Improbable talk, OF with
speeches wherewith he can do no good?''
The Apostle James also had such in mind
when he said, "If a brother or sister be
naked, and destitute OF daily food, and one
of you say unto them, depart in peace, be
ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye
give them not those things which are need
full to the body, what doth it proft!' We
need on all hands to press the oil a3ase
''Deeds, not words alone" 'Christianity,'' -
says Bishop Butler, sis to be very particu-
larly regarded as solemn trust deposited
with us in behalf of mankind, as well as for
called a Christian who doth not something
in his station in discharge If this trust;
who doth not something in keeping up the
profession of Christianity where he lives ="
Are We not commissioned to $50 work in
my vineyard" The field in which work
needs to be done is the world. Survey its
moral condition. 'Darkness covers the
earth and gross darkness the people" The
dark places of the earth are full of the habi-
tations of cruelty, drunkenness, stealing,
cursing, lying, impurity and inhumanity of
all kinds, abounds in our midst, where shall
we 60 and find the hideous monster, evil?
The voice OF the Master who called to
prophets of old, is calling to the Christian
people to-day. ''Whom shall send, and
who shall 60 for u.s." Who like him is
ready to respond, Here l am, send me. :"

well for US to weigh this sentence well. If
it is to be answered in the affirmative, what
is your responsibility? what is mine? With
out hesitation l call upon every Christian
whose heart has been touched with the
power of God to he up and doing; to begin
at once to ask in the sanctuary of his own
spirit, and with deep sense of his own re-
sponsibility, the question, Lord what wilt
Thou have me to do?" For we all, even the
least of us, may do something. God help
us to find out what shat something is and at
