How to Meet Your Worst Foe.
You will never. reach the promised land
| unless you slay that giant Kill Doubt OF
Doubt will kill you. How to overcome this
gianrT Pray for faith, go with people who
| have faith, read everything that encourages
| faith,avoid as you would ship feverand small
pox the people who lack faith. In the battle
against King Og use not for weapons the
| crutch of limping Christian or the sharp
pen OF a controversialist, but the sword OF
| truth, which is the Word of God.
The word "if'' is made up of the same num-
Der of letters as the word "Og, and 1t Is 1ust
| as big q giant. Ii the Bible be true. If the
| soul be immortal. II Christ be God. If our
| belief and behavior here decide our future
destiny. If Ii. IT, l hate the word .'1f."
Noah Webster says It is a conjunction: say
| it is an armed giant. Satan breathed upon
it a curse when he said to Christ: "If thou
be the Son of God" What a dastardly and
| infamous 'If' Against that giant "If7' hurl
jobs II know and Paul's II know" 81
| know that my Redeemer liyeth." 81 know

| ''1f" and up with 81 know" oh, that giant

mother alone even in her dying moments.
Do you wonder have grudge against the
bigger bounce than Satan got when he was
hurled out of heaven.
The Church Goes Marching On.
Another impression from my subject:
The march of the Church cannot be impeded
by gigantic opposition. That Israelftish
host led ON by Moses was the Church, and
when Og, the giant. him of the iron bed
stead, came out against him with another
host, a fresh host against one that seemed
worn out-things must have looked bad for
Israel. No account is given of the bedstead
of Moses, except that one in which he first
slept-the cradle of aquatic vegetation on
the Nile. But the 1sraelites triumphed. If
you spell the name of Og backward, you
turn the word Co." and og was turned
giants will be the last slain know not, but
there will be & museum somewhere to hold
the relics of what they once were. A rusted
sword will be hung up-the only relic of the
giant of War. A demij john-the only relic
of the giant of Inebriation. A roulette ball
the only relic of the giant of Hazard. A
pictured certificate of watered stock.the
only relic of the giant of Stock Gambling.
A broken knife-the only relic of the giant
of Assassination. A yellow copy of Tom
Paine-the only relic Of the giant OF Un-
belief.
And that museum will do for the later
ages of the world what the iron bedstead at
Rabbath did for the earlier ages. Do you
not see it makes all the difference in the
world whether we are lighting on toward a
miserable defeat or toward final victory?
All the Bible promises prophesy the latter,
and so cheer you who are the troops of
God.
Evangelizing the Whole World.
Make all the preparations for the worlds
evangelization. Have the faith of Robert
and Mary Moffatt, the missionaries, who, after
preaching in Bechuanaland for ten years
without one convert, were asked what they
would like to have sent them by way of gift
from England. said "Send a communion
service, for it will be surely needed" and,
many souls was realized, and the communion
service arrived I'm time to celebrate 1t. Ap-
propriately did that missionary write in an
album when his autograph was requested:
Ny album is the savage breast.
Where darkness reignS and tcmpests wrest
Without one raw OF light.
To write the name oc Jesus there,
And point to worlds both bright and fair,
And see the savage bowed in prayer,
Is my supreme delight.
Whatever your work and wherever you
and in my way. With holy pluck fight on
with something of the strength of Thomas
Troubridge, who, at lnkermann, had one leg
shot off. and the foot of the other Lee. and
when they proposed to carry him of the
field, replied: "No: do not move until the
battle is won." Whatever be the rocking of
the church or State, have the calmness OF
the aged woman in an earthquake that
frightened everybody else, and who, when
asked If she was not afraid, said: "No, am
glad that 1 have a God Who can shake the
world"
Do What You Can.
Whether your work be to teach Sabbath
class or nurse an invalid, or reform a wan
derer or print tract, or train a household
or bear the qpertlousness OF senility, or
cheer the disheartened or lead a soul to
Christ, know that by fidelity you may help
hasten the time when the world shall be
showed under with white lily and incarna-
dined with red rose.
And. now, bargain with you that we will
come back some day from our superstellar
abode to see how the world looks when it
shall be fully emparadised-its last tear
wept, its last wound healed, its last shackle
broken, its last desert gardenized, its last
giant OF iniquity decapitated. And when we
land. may it be somewhere near this spot of
earth where we have together toiled and
struggled for the kingdom of God and may
it be about this hour in the high noon of
some glorious Sabbath, looking into the up
turned faces of some great audience radiant
with holiness and triumph.
