The true Christian is a reformsr, a
worker, soldier, and a sufferer for
Christ. The scriptures continually speak
of him as having work to do and q
battle to fight. He is to take up his
cross, put on the whole armor of God,
endure hardness as good soldier in the
battle against all iniquity in this present
evil world. The Northwestern Chris
tian Advocate, Chicago.
At a recent session of the general con-
ference of the Free Methodist Church
in Chicago q resolution was adopted to
the effect that the Gospel knows no
distinction by nationality, condition, or
sex. in the agencies which it employs
for the salvation of mankind. "There-
fore, no person who is called of God,
and is duly qualified. should be refused
ordination to the ministry of the church
of Christ on account of sex, age, or con.
dition.
1t is one thing to gather facts, and am
other thing to draw deductions from
them. 1t is not easy TO look squarely at
fact and see il as it is, without predi-
lection. 1t is not easy, even when we
do see fact, to apprehend its linkings
and relations and adaptations There
are two reasons for so much misrepre-
sentation in the world: one is that we
do not see things as they are, the other
is that we mistake our deductions about
those things for the things themselves. -
