life. 1t is great folly for u man 10 give
strong expression Of love for his wife
and do nothing to support her. She
would naturally say to him show thy
love by thy work This is the test that
God puts to Ills children "lf ye love me
keep my commandments" The order
of hard master may be difficult to
perform hut it is pleasant to render u
a service Of love. Ii we love God il is
easy to keep his commandments. Ii we
are to keep them as u stern command it
will be hard. There are a great many
people in the service of God who are
moved largely by the thought II don't
want to so to hell and stay there to all
eternity, and the only way to keep out
is to serve Christ. This is the lowest
motive that can prompt to the service OF
God and the puSsessor of such motive
only knows very little of the Joys that
ought always TO accompany the service
Of God A service rendered for love
always brings promotion. 1t is not pos
sible to serve God from such a motive
without promoting all the best interests
of the soul Love will rule when all
fail 1t is always looking out for an
opportunity 10 render a service. 1t ism
happy conjunction when our duties and
pleasures meet and coNlese so that we
can hardly tell the one from the other
love for God, il true, will be expressed
by deeds us well as by words. Love
makes tho distance short and the burden
light"

SERMON BY MIR. SHORT
There was preaching at night by MIR.
Short. st. Matthew HIS was his text.
In the Introductory he gave an inter-
esting description Of how the highways
were built in the carly days Of til"
Roman empire There were four layers
The first was composed Of small stones,
| about the size of base.halls, the second
Of stone 8 inches thick, the third of
| brick about the size Of an egg and laid
6 inches thick, and the fourth laid 50 as
To make perfectly smooth surface
This is a figure TO prepare yr the way
! If the Lord II is n personal command.
| The preparation for Christ into our
hearts Is in four layers First layer,
conscious Of sin. This is the
| grand work of true repentance.
| Second layer, conviction. Conviction
| is Of two kinds, natural and spiritual.
| Natural arises from fear of Gods pun
| ishmcnt. spiritual is the work of God,
| There is also legal conviction and an
evangelical conviction, Legal conyiC.
| ton says that some men are good.
| Evangelical conviction says there are
none good but God. The legal cpnvic-
| ton desires freedom from pain. EyangGli-
| cal conviction cries freedom from pain.
| Legal conviction harClcns the heart and is
temporal. Evangelical conviction soft
ems the heart and is lasting, Third.
Rcpentance-This is the throne in the
flesh. 1t is hard for man to humble
| HIMSELF yet il is Il necessity. What is
repentance? 1t is the thought and recol-
lection of transgreSsing Gods law. II
means as David said; "'fhus Lord cast
me not of in the time of trouble" II
means to feel us did Peter, "Save Lord,
or perish Fourth Faith i'll Christ
and His promises This is the last layer
and treasure of our lives. The sermon
was delivered most earnestly and i'm
pressivcly and ut its conclusion there
was revival service.
