TaE CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD, LUT NO
Besides the exhibition within the
church of the spirit of Christian
brotherhood, the life # Christians out
side of the church, in their dealings
with the world, must also conform to
Christian principles. Christ calls upon
US to choose batween Him and the
world, and He wants no half-hesrted
followers. A Christian may say, If l
love my neighbor as myself. my neces
sites are as important as his. True
but my comforts are not as important
as his nee 9esIties, nor are my Injuries
and superfuities as important rs my
nelghbor's comforts. Luxury can
never be INDUCED in by Christian, so
long as be can minister 10 the real well
being of others, and supply them with
material goods helpful for their develop.
ment, and this forever renders luxury
an impossibility for Christian. Lux
ury is materialistic and selfish; 1t r =
tards the mental and spiritual develop
ment of people. and tends to impov-
erish a nation. Luxury breeds luxury,
and sin begets sin. One tries to outvle
the other. Men spend more than they
can afford. Speculation is fOstered as
means of money getting, and fraud
aud embezzlement are the legitimate
outcome. Wasted fortunes, blghted
careers, broker hearts, bouudless OBJ
)rtunlties for ever lo-t-tnFse are the
end of which the bekinuinS is seif-in-
d llgence. 1t is impossible for Chris
tan carefully to examine the nature of
industrial society, or even tolook very
little way into social science, without
drawing a very close line around per-
sonal expenditures which sre not sin
tul. This looks very much like cross
bearing, aud IL seams TO me that we
modern Christians have well-nigh for
gotten the existence of cross. Christ
meant that We should lead life of re-
uunciation. He said we must take up
our cross. What He did say was this:
"My yoke is easy, and my burden is
light" Why? Because love renders
sacrifice easy; and if we love our neigh
Dor as Christ loved US we Will rejoice
that it is permitted US to give out goods,
our lives, and all that we have for
others, and We will account the renun-
citation of pleasures in which this world
delights as but an easy yoke and light
burden.-Professor Richard T. Eley, in
the CongrSgGtionaL1St
THE GREAT WORLD COUNCIL.
THERE are those on both sides of the
sea looking forward to council second
to none since the day Of BPentecost.
The general missionary conference to
be held in Exeter Hall, London. from
June 9 to 10, will embrace repre-
sentatiVes of all the great missionary
societies and Christian denominations.
= There is now great deal of work
that overlaps. Some fields are wholly
destitute, others comparatively over
supplied, We need to have it de-
termined what is to be regarded as pre-
occupation and what as intrusion. Ger
tain principles need 10 be agreed upon
as to dealing with Chinese ancestral
worship anu East Indian caste, and
there ought to be a consistent plan for
developing a native ministry and
making native churches self governing,
disappearing, self-propagating.
The need and value of schools. the
scope of their educational schemes, CO

Importance of higher education, and

shortening of preparatory courses for

of preparation ordinarily required, are
