"SHUT IN.i

Shut in, shut In, from the ceaseless din
OF the restless world, and its want and sin;
Shut in from its turmoil, care, and strife,
And all the wearisome rounds of life.
Shut in with tears that are spent in vain,
With the dull companionship of pain;
Shut in with the changeless days and hours,
And with the bitter knowledge of falling
powers.
Shut in with dreams Of the days gone by,
With buried joys that were born to die;
Shut in with the hopes that have lOsed their
zest,
And leave but longing after rest.
Shut in with trio OF angels sweet,
Patience and Grace all pain to meet,
With Faith that can suffer, and stand and
wait,
And lean on the promises, strong and great.
Shut in with Christ! Oh, wonderful thought!
Shut in with the peace His suherings bought;
Shut in with the love that Yields the rod
Oh, company blest! Shut in with God.

Opening the Heart.

Iknew a little boy whose heart
was touched by a sermon on the
words, "BehOld, l stand at the door
and knock" My mother said to
him when she noticed that he was
anxious:
"Robert, what would you say to
anyone who knocked at the door of
your heart, if you wished him to
come 2"
He answered: "pd say, Come
in.'n
She then said to him: "Then say
to the Lord Jesus Christ, Come in"
The next morning there was a
brightness and joy about Roberts
face that made his father ask:
"Robert what makes you look SC
glad and joyfSl today?"
He replied joyfully: awoke in
the night, and felt that Jesus was
still knocking at the door of of my
heart for admission into it. said tC
him: Lord Jesus, come inr l think
he has come into my heart. 1 fee

You can know only rs you enter in
only as you obey. The pillar of di-
vine truth, like the pillar of cloud in
Egypt, is two.faced once and for
ever, according to the spirit and tenn
temper of the locker. "And it was
darkness to Them" 1. e., the Egyp-
tians, "but it gave light to these"
I. e., the Isrealites.
Third, defiance Of this law is the
cause of the worlds's present spiritu-
al darkness.
Why so many unsaved in Christ's
day and in ours? Is the truth un-
proved, is it inadequate? 1t is be-
cause the world will not comply with
the supreme condition of obeying to
know.
1t is an oft-observed fact that
much of the educated mind of Chris
tendon is unchristian.
If Christianity is,so demonstrably
the true and all-important religion,
why is 1t not believed in and accep-
ted by men of scientific research, by
statesmen, and minds of learning
everywhere? The text is your an .
swer. But if any one will bow be-
fore God saying, "Lord, show me
thy truth that may do thy will "
light shall shine in upon his path this
very hour, as monday upon mid
night. And he shall be led by Gods
Spirit to the fullness of belief on
Gods only-begottcn Son, which act
is the beginning and the consumma-
ton of doing Gods will.
Suffer these inferential thoughts:
lst. If obedience is the condition
of spiritual knowledge, then the I'M
fairness of rejecting Christianity
without the:appointed test.
They who test Christianity by ex-
perience always believe it. They
only reject it who have never COM
piled with its imperative conditions,
How little weight their rejection de,
serves.
I'd. The observation-disclosures of ir,
religion.
The world is saying today, 1--WE
cannot know God and truth. There
fore we may dare to ignore duty
Godward." This text puts into
every mans hand a. key, which he
may open and enter the door of the
knowledge of spiritual truth, and
know that Christ is the Son of God
and the Saviour of the world.
3rd. Follow faithfully the light
you already have.
Do as much as you already know
You who stand hating saying, awe
do not know, therefore we cannot
do" 1 ask you in Christ's name
"Have you ever done all you know?'
Follow steadfastly through the laby,
rinths of doubt and difficulty tn
guiding thread of Gods manifested
will, and you shall reach the perfec
day.-From the Treasury.

The Condition Of Spiritual knowledge
BY REV. VIM. D. ROBERTS.

BY REV. VIM. d. ROBERTS.
Ifany man do his will, he shall
know of the doctrine whether it be
Of God or whether l speak of myself.
John vii. II.
The two conspicuous traits of the
Pharisaic Jews of Christ's day were:
1. They allowed religion to enter
no farther into their lives than their
heads.
ii. They were morally insincere.
They had no real desire to do,
hence they were never permitted TO
know, Gods will. Had these Jews
been spiritually honest, they would
have taken to Christ as air to a vacu-
UNI. But the truth of this text is
just as neglected and needed now as
then. We have before us a great
fundamental law of the spiritual
kingdom.
The spirit of obedience is the condi-
ton of spiritual knowledge.
Notice. First, the reality of this
law.
Not instant and absolute accom-
plishment of Gods will, but the spir-
it and temper of obedience. The Re-
vised Version is entirely accurate:
Ifany man willeth to do his will, etc.
The proof of this law is of daily
observation. Look about you. and
you see that pure living produces
clearness of sight, and bad-doing be-
fegs vision the world over.
This is the law! Only he who
knocks, wearing upon the palm Of
inquiry a heart Of obedience, can
have an answer. Only he who says,
Father, thirst for the truth in or
der to do thy will 1 yield to thy SUI,
premacy; give me the light" ever
attains unto spiritual knowledge.
You cannot enjoy the radiance and
visin-reach of Truths mountain
summit until you climb with willing
feet the path of duty.
Second, the logic and necessity OF
this spiritual law.
(a)' Disobedience leads to spiritual
blindness.
Even the HindOO vedas contain
this fine piece of wisdom: "Repeat~
ed SHINING impairs the Judgment
and this more awful aphorism, "and
the impaired judgment sins repeated
ly."
Study the down-grade of the trans
gressors's moral life, and how often
it is: first, the evil doing, then the
beclouded moral vision first, a faith
er's example trodden under con
temptuous feet, then a fathers Bible
sneered into fragments; first, a new
crew of morals on board, and ther
down comes the flag of the true faith
and up go the colors of unbelief.
(6) Without obedience we have
not the capacity for spiritual knowl
edge.
1t is a universal law of mind anC
morals, only like apprehended like
How scan the carnally-minded MAJ
apprehend spiritual truth, which i;
delicate, intangible, discerned only
by those who are spiritual, which
languages itself only to the ears o
purity
(c) Spiritual truth is in its very ma
ture experimental.
Can never be fully known until ex
perience is added to intellectual
grasp. e.. q. 1 know the doctrine O
the Atonement truly only when b,
inward peace l have experienced tn
blessed fruits of that Christ-victor
sin in my own soul.
So all the system of divine truth
as mountain side. Each doctrin
is a projecting cliff, ranging on
above another. We can know then
only as we live up to them, passinI
from one to the next above. Spirit
ual truth is place whose walls al
opaque : you cannot apprehend il
inner beauties from the outside

The swedish Quartette at the Athe-

The second in the course of entertain
ments under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A.

the Swedish Quartette Concert company.
The members of the quartette were arrayed
