The Christian should not ask the ques-
tioa. What "a essential, or what Is His will
or what littls work can do aud still retain
hls love" any more thsn an ooedlent
child should ask the will OF its parents and
h0N little work they can do and SUI Daye
their love. Find out what Is 10 oe done

Nhsa ans one teaches aoy other law ne
is teaching rebellion TO Gods lass. There
Is out one standard for Christiaaity, and
that IS the word OF God This fact Is not
only true b0t wise. There must be some
standard beyond which there Is no further
authority. for there is no crank 50 crooked
but will lind followers. no advice 60 bad
out will De followsd. The
beginning Of Christian life is the elimina-
ton Of self and the enthronsmsnt oi
| Christ. The glory of Christ is the reward
| of the trus Christian life. The followers ol
daily occupations worS for reward, but
the motive IS selfish. but in the work OF a
| Christian done for the glory OF Christ the
motive Is unselfish. There is bat one
motive % cause Christian activity, and
that IS The love and the glory OF God"
