are the true leaders OF the people. God
has always produced them to adorn and
guide each epoch. The men Of Issachar
knew where to cast their influence.
Moses. Samuel, Nehemlah. Daniel and
Paul We're the men for their times and left
their lasting impression. The church of
Christ has never wanted for good spirits
to interpret the religious signs of the
times. We have them now, mapping out
the channels in which the activities of
the church are to move. The humber
Christians may have dlscernment of the
times and so govern their individual
movements that their lives may be spent
wisely; Third-The best interests of the
church served. The power and fame of
David's empire is matter of history.
Wise planning and prompt execution will
lead to grand results. 1t is a glorious
thing for any church to have clear-headed
and warm hearted men in her counsels.
1t requires grand abilities and a wide ex-
periencc to guide ths material affairs of
commerce and government, and the
church must not be less ably served. In
certain sense the church is left to work
out her own. salvation. She will be
strong and successful according to the
measure of wise devotion to her welfare.
Three practical suggestions: First-The
Christian must cultivate his intelligence.
He must be posted in the principal mat
ters OF the time, both secular and >relig-
ious. He must know the Bible, the news
paper and the religious journal. Second
Must have the spirit of corporation and
enterprise. In our day the people move
in masses and are filled with the spirit of
enterprise, So all Christian work must
be characterized by the same qualities.
Third-Must have zeal. Enthusiasm is
essential to effective effort. Men en-
doved with zeal for their cause move the
world.
