MY attention was soon diverted

Barking for an Excuse.

AS l was walking along the streets
of our town cue day last summer. l
saw what / had meyer seen before;
that was dog pulling lawn
mower, and two boys, one guiding
the dog and the other the machine.
AS l was walking quietly along the
sidewalk, being, rs far as l was
aware, in goodwill with my sur
roundings, that dog actually stopped
his work to bark al me. ] felt like
saying to him that it WOuld pay bet
ter for him to attend TO business, and
never mind barking, Stopping a
little to take i'm the situation, one of
the boys, who was managing the af-
fair, goOd-nafurPdiy said to me. 'He
just banks for an excure.' "Oa,
yes !" l said, she finds it easier to
bark than to pulp Then, as 1 went
on my way, I thought, there is an
explanation of a great many diff
culties. "Barking fer an excuse !"
E ,Sier to bark than to work, there
fore we will employ the time bark
ing! How many things in the Churh
this explains!
Some do not love to go to church.
Their hearts are not in it. They pre-.
fer to lounge around the comfortable
home. So they just bark at the
preacher. His sermons do not suit
them; they are not deep. They
want deep sermons; so deep that
they cannot understand them. Some
thing like some who want boots so
tight they cannot wear them. Or
perhaps he said something they did
not like, or he did not show them
the respect he should have done, or
something, they scarcely know what,
so they will stay at home and read a
sermon, they say. No. they will
stay at home and bark. They. l
fear, are "barking for an excuse"
Some do not loye the class meet-
ing. They have not been living as
they should during the week, so they
do not like to go to talk about spir-
itual things on Sundays, so they he
gin to bark at the leader. He is dry,
or long, or he does not edify them.
They do not like his way of leading
a class or they know something about
/ him they do not intend to tell. Well,
they think they will be as well at
home as in his class. Again. my
brother, you are at it, "barking for
an excuse"
Some do not like to pay for a good
religious paper. So 1t is too dear.
They know cheaper papers. The
editor offended them. He is not on
the right side of politics, or at least
they think he IS not, He admits too
much of something in his paper that
he should not. Well, he does not
manage to please everybody. He
does something they would not do if
they were there. So they will not
! take his paper. and at 1t they go,

barking at the editor. Brother
barking for an excuse" are you ? !
Some do not like giving. With
them it is like pulling to1th. It'll
shakes them up so. and makes them
feel so badly. So they begin to bark.
Something is wrong, or they know
there will be. The officials do not
handle the money properly. The
minister or his family live too ex.
pen.iveIy. So they give nothing but
ozark"
Thus we might go on, and we
would find a great deal of "barkn
given because that is easier to give
than real, earnest work. Then I
thought if we could get that dog in
love with the lawn-mower and his
work, how soon the barking would
cease. Get our hearts filled with
love for God aud his work, and how
soon the barking and fault-finding
will cease. We will he thrilled with
delight at the privilege of working
for God, and instead of stopping to
find fault with any one we will glad
ly press onward in the path of duty.
Then how much more beautiful
earnest work for God will make the
world look than will bark Is
fault-finding. noticed that that dos
did not improve the lawn a particle
by all his barking, but he dig by
pulling. We never make the wppd,
or the church, or our friends, setter
by barking at them. Some people
deal largely in vinegar and sour
krOut, but ii takes lot of ether to
make a man very fat. Tie cold,
hard. complaining spirit never wins
many for Christ. Then L noticed
that after the barking the dog still
had his work to do. The boys SEEM
ed to be in no way inclined to accept
barking In lieu of work. So. bark
all we may, the work is there for US
still. God never accepts the fault
finding spirit for the CHRISTIAN spirit
and Christian work.
Then l find in this somewhat home
lv illustration an argument for holl-
ness. Our hearts, naturally evil,
must he so thoroughly changed that
we will love him with the intensity
OF purified spirits. Then we will de-
light with holy rapture in mis- work,
and instead of stopping to find fault
and scold and complain, we will run
gladly in the way of his command
ments. Then when the blood cleanses
from all sin, and "hOliness unto the
Lord" becomes Cur Watchword, and
our hearts are filled with "perfect
love-" we shall have some blessed
understanding of what the Psalmist
meant psalm 119: 32), II will run
the way of thy commandments when
thou shalt enlarge my heart" ~.
