he was of pure African blood, and when

Those Cain.like Christians show them
selves by their lack of interest in real
Church work. They can sing and shout
and pray and talk and make loud profes.
sions and tell the world how good they
feel, but SO far as the real work of the
Church is concerned they have never
borne the heat and burden Of the day.
o, how it does cool the zeal of some
shouting Christians to ask them for q
dollar for missions. The work of the
Church and of the individual Christian is
to care for the poor, feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, visit the sick, and
above all to give the Gospel to the world.
Faith in Christ has directly or indirectly
erected hospitals for the sick, houses fol
the poor, and it is sending as rapidly as
possible the Gospel to the benighted
nations of the earth; in short, Christ is
the motive and faith. that power that
shall conquer the world.

work, net because We expect to work our
way into Heaven, but because real work
is the legitimate fruit of the Spirit. Dc
