Finally, my brethren, be strong in
the Lord, and in the power Of His
might.
And take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit, which IS
the Word Of God.
Mediate upon these things, give
thyself wholly to them, that thy pro
fling may appear to all.
And this 1 pray, that your love may
abound yet more and more in know
ledge and in all judgement.
Being filed with the fruits Of
righteousness, which are by Jesus
Christ, unto the glory and praise Of
God.
And the peace of God, which pas
seth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Jesus
Christ
That ye may approve things that
are excellent; that ye may be sincere
and without offence till the day Of
Christ
Grace be with you, mercy, and
peace, from God the Father and from
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the
Father in truth and love.
Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watch
ing thereunto with oil perseverance
and supplication for all saints,
BE careful for nothing; but in
everything by prayer and supplica-
ton, with Thanksgiving, let your re-
quests be made known unto God,
Whatsoever things are true, what
soever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
il there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
Coop LISTENERS WANTED. With
regard to what constitutes good
preaching there is variety Of views
But if the term is employed to desig-
nate a clear, forcible, earnest, tender
and attractive presentation of Divine
truth, then good preaching is very
desirable. But even then it ls not so
important as good hearing. Good
preaching pleases and may do nothing
more; good hearing profits, even
though the preaching is not Of the
highest order. A constant, attentive,
serious and earnest hearing of the
word can hardly fail to enlarge the
understanding or to quicken the af-
fections. And while the good hearer
secures blessing to his own soul, he
is at the same time n help to the
preacher and to his fellow orshipers.
He is an inspiration to the preacher,
and those who witness his devout at
tention are stimulated to more SER
ious aud earnest deception of the
truth. National Presbyterian.
WHAT WOULD You Do?-In
country store IN Vermont village re-
Gently, a little company of men
CHANGED to meet. One Of the number
was converted about year ago. Up
to the time of his conversion he had
been very ungodly and profane
man. Several IN the company at the
store were his old companions, still
unconverted, and thinking it a good
time to joke the convert one of them
said, well John, suppose you should
forget sometime now and swear, what
would you do?" The answer came
promptly and earnestly: "Why 1
should kneel down and ask God to
forgive me, right where was, if it
was in the middle of the road" No
fault was found with his answer.
Let me put the question to you who
have just read this incident, If you
should forget sometime and do what
Is wrong what would you do? Would
you instantly ask God to forgive you?
Gould you do anything better than
that? We wait too long sometimes
and lose the pungent sense of guilt
that comes immediately after wrong
act. 1t is we'll to be prompt in our
appeal to God for the forgiveness Of
any sin. Henry Crocker.
