with the spirit Of Jesus Christ, and will

The New Testament does not propose
to DO a directory of human life Its
failure to answer docs not settle any
thing. 1t is not intended to settle ques-
tions but to load to spirit that will
help every onelto settle them for them
selves. To Judge rightly get into the
heart of Christ. There are certain
things which by common consent be-
long to Christianity. They are faith,
purity and love, The method of dealing
with us is in the highest degree reason
able. God is trying to get manhood out
Of this life Of ours. He does not care
for performances or achievements but
character. He passes the particular
TO get at the general. BY being spirit
ard not letter Christianity is fitted for
the world and is world-spreading.
