3. About God. There is an Al
mighty Being in heaven, who takes
account of all your ways. You will
see him one day and have to reckon
with him. Do not turn your back on
him, or quarrel with him. What
ever friends you have, have friend
ship with God.
4. About your sins. You have
many sins. Do not try to deny it.
These sins must all be forgiven be-
fore you die. Never rest till you
have found forgiveness. These sins
must be hated and fought with. Do
not give way to them. Make them
give way to you.
.. About our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the only One who can pardon
your sins and save your soul. He is
able and willing to do it. He died
for you on the cross. He waits in
heaven to be your Friend. Ask
him.
Q. About your Bible. Do you
regularly read it? This is the only
book which can tell you what to be-
lieve and what to do; how to live
and how to die! Mind that you make
a good use of your Bible. Study it.
Believe by it. Live by it.
I. About your prayers. Have
you any at all? Do you ever speak
to God about your soul? To live
without prayer is to live without
God and without Christ. You can
not know God if you never talk t.
him. You cannot expect anything
from him if you never ask for it.
8. About your duties to Others
Do you know anything of kindness
good temper, truthfulness, honesty
unselfshness, patience, and doing o
you would be done by? That man
religion is worth nothing who neg
lects these things.
8. About your Sunday. How d.
: you spend il? That gain is not rea
gain which is made by breaking tn
| Sabbath. That pleasure is not rea
2 happiness which is got by profanin
the Lords Day.
10. About the Lords Supper. ID

Raging Waves. !"

Christian Index.
The Apostle Jude speaking of
certain "ungodly men" compares
them to "raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame" and
almost the whole of his brief epistle
is warning against them and their
devices. Ifthe Apostle were living
now, he would have occasion to
write another letter of the same kind.
The waves have not ceased to rage n
on the contrary, it appears to US that
there is more turbulence in the wsrld
of thought now than there has ever
been. We are agitated ever and
anon with wild and radical ques-
tons; for example, "Is life worth
living?" In other words, Has the
Almighty made a mistake in giving
life to his creatures? "Is marriage
failure?" in other words, Has the
Almighty made another mistake in
prescribing marriage as a necessary
condition of existence for the race :?
Sought there to be any govern
ment?" This question comes from
those who in the language of Jude,
"despise dominion, and speak evil of
dignities." "Is the Bible a fraud ?"
"Is there any such thing as history"
"Do we know anything" sought
we to believe anything?' SIS there
to be any hereafter" E.
These idle question, and Others
like them are in these latter days con-
tinually coming to the surface like
slime from the depths of human
depravity. Whenever they are
pressed on our attention, we think OF
the Epistle of Jude, and Of the parallel
passage in . Peter i. 100, both Of
which are graphic and exact descrip
tions Ofthe "presumptuous" men and
"filthy dreamers" efthe present day
Certainly if the two Apostles named
were here, they could not depict the
facts better than in the very language
used by them eighteen hundred
years ago.
We suppose the heather will al.
ways rage, and the people will al.
ways imagine vain thing until the
gospel shall have done its perfect
work. Then shall peace flow as a
river, and there will be an end of the
raging waves.
