True Living.

Life means far more than many of
us ever dream of, 1t is not merely
passing through the world with a
fair measure of comforts, with
enough bread for our hunger, with
enough raiment to keep US warm.
Life means growth into the image
of Christ himself, into strength, into
well-rounded character, into discip-
lined manhood and womanhood,
into the blessed peace of God. But
the peace into which he guides us is
victory over all the trials, a quietnes,

by LURA A. B0IES.

In the great worlds ceaselesS striving
In the Earring din and strife,
Shall we call today trihe?
Is it not our all of life?
All! we may not look beyond it,
Yesterday we know is past,
We may never see tomorrow.
This today may be our last.
Only time for earnest action,
Only time to watch and pray,
o what meaning, vast, eternal,
Centers in the word, today!
Every deed today shall witness,
Every holy deed Of love
Borne by Gods recording angel
To the dazzling throne above
Every word the lips shall utter,
Be it i'll or be it well.
Solemnly or lightly spoken,
On the endless years shall tell.
Ye who spurn the crown of glory,
Turning from the higher birth;
Bartering the great immortal
For the shining dust of earth
Wake to earnest life and duty,
Dream no more the hours away;
Endless JOY or endless wailing
Hang upon the vast today,
0 whene'er the blessed sunlight
Ushers in the holy morn,
When the yesterday is buried,
And the new today is born,
Let US work anew for heaven,
Let us wait and watch and pray,
Knowing that we meet hereafter
Everything we do today.
Then the veil shall be uplifted
From the vision faint and dim,
And the song of time shall mingle
With the grand eternal hymn.
Yea, our life shall be an anthem
Swelling up the shining way,
And eternity the finale
OF the glorious today.

Age and infirmity bring to an end

That is a false idea of the Church,
though entertained by too many per-
sons, that it is divided into Christians
and Christian workers, that it is
enough for the majority to merely
believe in Christ and be saved, while
the few only are to do the work. Ac-
cording to the scriptural view, all are
"created in Christ Jesus unto good
works." Jesus calls all into his
kingdom, not to be idlers, but to be
laborers. He has no love for those
who say, and do not. His rewards
are conditional upon service. He
has something for the humblest to
do. His members may, and do, diff
fer in gifts and graces, but he has a
sphere of labor for each and all. He
assigns to each one his special
duty. What the Church wants at
this time more than all else is united
and determined activity. There
must be faith, but works also. Our
churches must not be mere asylums
of rest, but homes for the busy, and
Jealous, and consecrated-places
where every member is doing his
best for Jesus Christ, and society, and
the world.

A Word to Conquer By.

"Never' is the only word that con-
quers. "Once in a while" is the very
whatchword of temptation and
defeat. l do believe that the "Once~
NASHVILLE" things have ruined more
bodies and more souls, too, than all
the other things put together. More
over, the "never" way is easy and
the "once-in-a-while" way is hard.
After you have once made up your
mind "never" to do certain thing,
that is the end of it, if you are a sem
sible person. But if you only say:
"This is bad habit" or, "This is a
dangerous indulgence; 1 will be a
little on my guard, and not do it too
often," you have put yourself in the
most uncomfortable of all positions
the temptation will knock at your
door twenty times in day, and you
will have to be fighting the same old
battles over and over again as long as
you live.
When you have once laid down tC
yourself the laws you mean to keep
the things you will always do and
the things you will "never" do, ther
your life arranges itself in a system
at once, and you are not interrupted
and hindered, as the undecided peo'
pie are, by wondering what is best
or safe, or wholesome, or too I'M
