and all Will De we'll In tne emu -
false one. God would have TO recon-
struct his moral government, and
reconstruct every human being on eartn.
Every man has some sort OF standing
in the mind of God. and it is very i'm
portant that we should know the esti-
mate In which God holds US. When
man says, Il care not what people think
of me; of what 1 say, or do, or what l
think, or where l co." he puts himself
below the level OF the brute, for even
dog shows affection for it's master, and
ahorse will turn its gentle eye TO the
man who pats its neck.
Our estimate by men will be largely
modified by two factors. First, what
thew know of us. Those about
YOU know enough to form an estimate
of what you really are, for mans rep
utation is one thing and his character Is
another. In the second place, our re-
gard for those about us will be affected
by their power over US.
God knows all about us. Not single
thought has escaped the notice OF that
ceaseless eye, and He has put down III
indellible lines, a full record OF your
life, and mine. When you stand before
the scrutinizing throne of God, nothing
can be concealed. II the regard OF men
who have some degree of power over us,
affects us in our conduct toward men,
should not the estimate which GOD
places upon us, affect us in our conduct
toward God? God has a plan Of life for
euerything-for every one OF US. His plan
for those who will not serve Him,
is to let them ultimately
have their own way. How do we know
that we serve God? If man can have
religion and not feel it, he can lose 1t,
and not know it.
YOUNG PEOPLES MEETING
was held for the last time at the new
auditorium at Oils O'clock. The SER
vices were well attended, and were con-
ducted by Rev. Boswell, Of Philadel-
phia. who preached an eloquent
and instructive sermon. At the close of
the services the young people fell into
line and marched to the auditorium,
where the final meeting took place at
7:45 o'clock. The services here were
opened with the singing OF ''Rock OF
Ages by the choir. This was followed
by selections by the vocal quar-
tette, after which the cholr
sang another hymn. Rev. SWIM
dell then announced that Rev.
Morcass. of Pittsburg, would preach the
final sermon. After prayer, Rev. Nor
cass started by calling attention TO the
fact that IL was the last night of the en-
campment, and he hoped to see proper
snlrit of religious fervor manifested, so
that the last meeting would be
the crowning one Of the Sc
ries. in its beneficial re-
suits. Behind us, he said, are the
days of the encampment. The I'M
nressionS of our lives are there. we
cannot go back; we must go on What
better source for Gus than to take up
into our thoughts the question invol-
"'@S3 80" vSac, and make
preparations for the comin9 %nv
year. What better thing than to nre,
pare for the duty of to-morro,y aUd tho
victory yonder on the crest of ont Aonao
The duty Involved in the text is a
simple one-that we here and now shall
settle with ourselves the question Of our
personal rightnesS with God. 1t is not a
question of whether those about us are
right or not: whether the heavens above
us be right or not. The question is, am
right in myself? l would that we might
see it plainly in all that it imports.
What if everything is right, and we,
ourselves, are wrong? 1t is OF supreme
moment that we be personally right
with God. Call the roll of all names Of
the heroes of history, and ask yourself
the question, "Of what model type were
they?" and in every instance
it will be found that the
men stood upon the platform Of con-
scious right in themselves, under God.
Such men were Elias, Moses, and Paul.
To young men who have an ambition.
it is our ambition that they fail not, but
live and win victory. II | am to
give secret which holds most
sublime potency for all this,
it is the carrying about with
you Of q personal consciousness that
does not condemn you under God.
! There is nothing so important as to be
rightly equipped under God for work TO
be done. 1t is the marvel OF the ages
that man may be consciously right.
Take the child of nature where
you find him tonight, with
! his record behind him and guilty
conscience crouchng within him
which way shall he look? Where shall
he go? What shall he do? Tell me
that somewhere in this universe there
is power that can right him; a power
| that can change this nature of his, and
! lift the cringirg wretch up to manhood
tell me there it such a power,
and l will tell you that it
is the miracle of the ages. The
alchemy of this world can level
mountains about man, build around him
magnificent palaces, and furnish them
in lavish manner. but 1t is only the
gospel which can change that cringing
| slave into man. / want to recommend
this divine alchemy which changes man
from son of sin to son of God.
The device In which this duty is
set is simple one-self-exam-
ination and seIf-proof. Sometimes we
are told that 1t IS not a good thing to
look into our hearts, that it induces
morbid condition of life. That is possi-
BILE, but it is also true that nothing in
all the advices the Master has given US
works more good, with Gods grace,
thai just this thing. We are fond
OF examining other people, when we
ought to look at ourselves. Setting
up a standard Of morality not our own
for others, is common practice, while
it would be far better to turn the light
of investigation on our ewn souls and
let il burn there. Guard well your
soul every moment of your lives. Just
on the span of single minute the char
acter building OF years may DO lost.
