Sunday was our baptizing day; we
had a nice time all day. At II a. m.
Rev. H. w. Scott preached an ex-
cellent sermon, his theme being
"Doctrine." At 2 p. m, we gathered
at the waters edge where there was
eleven souls waiting to be led down
into Jordan in order to put on Christ
by baptism, after which we returned
to the church where we fellowshiped
those lately baptized and seven back
sliders into the church, making a to-
lal OF eighteen accessions. At $3.50
p. M. Rev. d. D. Payne took the
stand, selected for his subject the
II chapter and II verse of Ex., his
discourse was, "who had right to
the Lords table" At s p. M, Rev.
H. NJ. Scott ascended the stand and
preached a soul stirring sermon, at
the close of which three more came
forward for baptism. Our meeting

Bible talks upon Paul's letter to the
Romans. He showed how Paul COM
mended the saints at Rome for their
faith in the midst of their enemies.
The church was much enthused over
MS sensational talk and he made us
feel like one Of old: Lord it is good

none other than the houese of God
and the gate Of heaven to our waiting
souls" We all went home rejoicing
in the God of our salvation. The

able illustration of the true Christian
temper. Few men have sacrificed more
than he for spiritual ends. but his let
ters abound with good cheer. Men
constantly turn to them for courage.
In the para BILE of the PrOdigal Son. the
elder son, who could say that, while
his brother had wasted his living. he
had never had kid to make merry
with his friends, uncOnsciously dis
closed the real quality of his life. He
showed that he had all the time been
longing for just such life as that his
brother had led. His brothers life was
the kind of life he would have
led if he could have given free
play to his impulses. Inwardlv.
he had wandered as far from his father
as ever his brother had outwardly in
miles or riOtOus excess. His heart had
not been enlisted in the hOme-life: it
was some small motive of decencv or
self-interest that kept him respectable.
The elder son is type of the men
whose religion is gloomy, and who rep
resent it to others as distasteful ex-
perience. They are not quite in the

they do not live in the spirit.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY.

' As MARKED by an Absence of Gloom and
an Enjoyment and Appreciation of All
God Has Placed in the World.
IN The minds of many people religion
Is associated with gloom. 1t is some
thlng to which they may be compelled
TO resort to avoid worse evils, but Of it.
self it is without zest or charm. Don bt-
less the austerity Of the Puritan regime
! mas done much to foster this impress
sion. The lines between lthe church
and the world were drawn with preci-
Sion, and the discrimination was more
against external things than against
inward dispositions. The old Man
Ich@n notion that matter was inher-
emily sinful, and that material pleas
ures were seductions of the evil one,
coloreo their conceptions, as they did
those of the medieval church.
gradually, however, the Christian
churches have been coming to wiser
views. They have been led to see that
the world and all it contains is Gods
world, that He framed His creatures
lOr many grades of enjoyment, and
that, other things being equal. he is
the truest man who is alive in every
faculty of soul and body. We have.
also, come to see that the Christian
ideal of life is not one in which the fac
ultles for physical enjoyment are stern
ly repressed, but one in which all
powers are subordinated to spiritual
claims and controlled by spiritual mo-
tives.
Self-denial has as much place in the
Christian life as it ever had: but we !
have learned to distinguish between
self-denial for the sake of conserving
the souls power for some worthy end |
or for the sake of self-discipline. and |
Standardization as an end in itself.
The former is one of the highest man
of the Christian spirit: the
latter is heathenish
One essential mark of true self-de-
nlal is that it is not morose and gloomy.

end it aims to secure, and gladly sur
renders the lower good to gain it. 1t
