CONSIDERATION

Conservation is not to Gods service not to
his work. not to a. life of obedience and sacrifice,
not to the church, not to the Christian En-
deavor, not to the cause of God it is TO God
himself. "Yield yourselves unto God" Your
work, your service, your obedience, your saori-
foe, your right place, and your allotted duty,
will all follow in due time.
Conservation is the willingness and the reso-
luton and the purpose to be, to do, and to suffer
all Gods will. Its essence is found In the words
of the Saviour "Not my will, but thine be
DONE"
Conservation being definite transaction, and
made once for all, does not need to be repeated,
unless we have failed to keep it. To coDsecrate
over and over again is like Is husband and wife
marrying over and over again, We are conse-
Grated The VOW is upon us, and in the fierce of
that VOW we walk all our days. All we have to
do is to remember day by day that We arc
wholly the Lords, and see to it that nothing is
taken from the altar. Those who have kept
their conservation complete should testify to it's
maintenance, upon all suitable occasions, and
never deny 1t by word, deed or silence.
LAM WILLING
To receive what thou givest.
To lack what thou wthholdest.
To relirq uish what thou takest.
To suffer what thou infictest.
To be what thou requirest.
To do what thou commanded. Amen.

NOT FOR ME.

To be able to say, "This or that is mot for
me-" Is to have very calming and sustaining
influence operating on the mind. 1t will make
US feel sstIed The matter Is decided, 50 far As
am concerned. A calm often follows the set.
Element Of the matter, even though that settle
ment has not taken exactly the form which We
should have chosen. We are something like
Dsvid-when the child was alive, and there Was
possibility of its recovery, he tasted and wept;
but when it was dead, he rose up and ate and
drank-he accepted the inevitable. While
things are in doubt, and We do not know which
way they will turn, We are often sgitated, unset
tied, nothing is accepted-and this can only be
met by our putting ourselves into the hands Of
God, determined each one to accept what is or is
not to be for him" for me" or "not for me-"

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB :"

The whole Bible from cover to cover Is stained
with blood. From the Offering of Abel to the
song of the redeemed in the book of Revelation
the blood is always present. "1f you were to
take brush and dip it in red ink, and then 60
carefully through the Bible, painting over those
passages which refer to the blood, and all those
promises which associate with and rest upon
blood, you would be surprised to find how red
your Bible would be. And then If you should
take your pencil, and carefully erase all the pas
sages you had marked before with red, you
would be still more surprised to find how mean
ingless your Bible would be. Indeed, there
would be no intelligibllity left in it. The his
torcsl portion would be meaningless; the ethi-
cal teaching would be powerless. No "forgive-
ness, " no justification, no Regeneration" no
"peace," no "joy," no sanotifoation," no
"rest" no "hope," no resurrection" no
"heaven," no "robes washed and made
white and Clean" no "song" Nothing but
blackness and darkness forever. Blessed be
God for these two sayings concerning the blood,
one in the beginning, the other in the end of tho
Bible! "When I see the blood will pass over
you," and "Unto him that loved us, and washed
us from our sins In his own blood" Sand they
sung new song, saying, Thou art worthy, for
thou vast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by
the blood out of every kindred and tongue and
people and nation" Those who deny the blood
upon earth will never sing that song in heaven.
They will not be there, since they can not enter
without the sprinkling Of the blood Of the
Lamb of Ged which taketh away the sins Of tho
world.-1hs Ohrtstian Work.

81 will not ask for the leaf now. There is no
place so beautiful as this there is no friend so
kind as the Angel of Death wish he would
take me too"
So the child turned back under the stars which
shone like celestial eyes upon him. And as he
went ray of holy light fell upon his path, and
wonderful music such As he had never before
heard, filled his ears, and he knew that the golden
gate had opened to receive his sister. And it
was so that when he saw her silent form upon
her little bed at home, he was comforted -"7he

THE FATHERS DRAWINGS.

Our heavenly Father always draws US with the
cords of love. How slowly do we respond to bis
gentle impulses He draws US to exercise 8
more simple faith in him ; but We have not yet
attained to Abrshsm's confidence; we do not
leave our worldly cares with God. Our meager
faith brings leanness into our souls; we do not
open our hearts wide, though God has promised
to fill them. Does he not this day draw us to
trust him? Can We not hear him say, "Come,
my child, and trust me. The veil is rent enter
into my presence, I am worthy Of thy fullest
confidence; cast thy cares on me. Shake thy
self from the dust of thy cares, and put on thy
beautiful garments of Sophisticated

In heaven We shall all be filled with and ruled
by the Spirit of God. The body which We have
now is "natural body; that is, body de-
pendent upon the conditions of physical nature;
the body which we shall have there will be a
"spiritual body". 1t is plainly evident, there
fore, that the more We learn to depend upon the
Spirit Of God in this world, the more of heaven
will We have on esrth.-R.o. ". r.. Bryce, in

GOD EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYTHING.

All who have become eminent in piety have
become thoroughly imbued with the thought
that God is everywhere and in everything but
SIM This thought Is both an evidence of grace
and means of grace. A conscious sense of the
divine presence at all times and in all places and
under all circumstances seems to have pervaded
the mind Of Madame Guyon, and Of others in
her day who were eminent for depth Of piety.
The more fully We are possessed of this thought
the more rapidly We will advance in the divine
life. Those who have read the recently pub
lished autobiography of Amanda Smith have
not failed to notice how fully and constantly she
recognized the divine presence in all.things, at
all times and in all places. With her there was
the constant thought that God was in all things
but sin. Her seeming misfortunes we're means
o. grace, and the richest blessings of providence
that came to her kept her ia constant state of
praise and Thanksgiving. As you read the life
of Amanda Smith you will do we'll to drink in
of this spirit until your heart becomes engrossed
and saturated with the thought that God is ev
erywhere, and that he has hand in everything
but sin. Wherever We are We should be con-
stantly saying, God is here. "Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God. REQ.

PRACTICE LOVE.

We learn to love by loving Itgrows by prac-
tice. Like every thing else, it gathers strength
through e1eroire. The more We keep at it, the
easier and more natural 1t becomes. We can
form tho habit of looking at people with love,
thinking about them with love, speaking Of
them in love, and acting toward them lovingly.
Dor deeds will react upon our thoughts, and our
thoughts and feelings will prompt to action. So
We may become stepped in love. It will radiate
from us as the light from the lamps. We shall
be charged with 1t as the battery 10 with cleo
tricity, and power will 60 out from US. So in.

" WHEN | AWAKE"

When shall wake in that fair morn of morns,
After whose dswning never night returns,
And with whose glory day eternal burns,
shall be satisfied.
When shall see thy glory face to face,
When in thine arms thou wilt thy child mbrace,
When thou shalt open all thy stores Of grace,
I shall be Satisfied.
When 1 shall meet with those that have loved
Clasp in my eager arms the long removed,
And find how faithful thou to me hast proved,
l shall be satisfied.
When shall gaze upon the face Of Him
Who for me died. with eye no longer dim;
And praise him in that everlasting hymn,
I shall be satisfied.

A SPIRITUAL MIND.

"To be spiritually minded is life and peace. "
In these days of nervous activity, when the
church is being filled with all sorts of machinery
for practical work, We are in danger Of underes-
timating the value and the necessity of spirit
ual mind A Christian should possess an up
right character, he should lead holy life, he
should always be at work, but none OF these
things can take the place of spiritual mind.
Back of all outward activity must lie spirit
usl mind as . reservoir Of power. The stream
can never rise above It's source. We must keep
one hand In Gods hand, while We reach down
the other to our perishiDg brother. We all REQ
ognize spiritual mindedness when We see it in
Others but 1t is somewhat hard to define Per.
haps the best definition we can give Of 1t is that
it is mind filled with and ruled by the Holy
Spirit. All real Christians are more or less spir-
ituslly minded. A sweet aroma clings about the
lives Of those who possess this quality in q
marked degree. There is a certain softness and
mellowness about spiritually minded man. He
looks upon everything from the Godward side.
Mysterious providences do not bewilder him.
He seems to see through Gods eyes. He lives
in close fellowship with the Father He has
"the mind OF the Spirit" He msnifests in his
life the fruit Of the Spirit, which is Glove, JOY,
peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance"
David, the sweet singer of Israel, was emil
nently such . man. His namesske, David
Brainerd, the apostle to tho American Indians,
was eminently such man. Robert McCheyne,
the Scottish minister, is q noteworthy example
Of spiritual mind. Among women We might
cite Madame Guyon and Frances Ridley Haver-
gal as illustrations of spiritualmindedness This
list might be indefinitely heightened by names
of the living and the dead, but these are suf6-
cient to show what is meant by tho possession of
. spiritual mind.
This is possession which every Christian
should crave We should make every endesvor
to call this boon our own. The first step to-
ward the acquisition of spiritual mind is .
complete and unreserved conservation Of our
selves to God. God can not make much of .
man until the man puts himself entirely In
Gods hands. We must be emptied before We
can be filed.
The second step toward the acquisition Of .
spiritual mind Is constant and eager feeding
upon the Word. You never saw . spiritually
minded man who neglected bis Bible. As we'll
try to exist without food.

SILEN

There is much help in silence. From it's
touch we gain renewed life Silence il to the
soul what his Mother Earth was to Briareus.
From contact with 1t We rise healed of our hurts
and strengthened for the fight.
Amid the babel Of the schools, We stand be.
wildered and affrighted. Silence give us peace
and hope. Silence teaches ~ no creed, only that
Gods arms are around the universe.
How small and unimportant seem all our fret
them in our hand before the great calm face of
silence We smile at them ourselves and are
ashamed.
Silence teaches us how little We sre-how
great We are In tho worlds marketplaces we
are thinkers, tailors, apotheoaries, thieves-re-
spectacle or otherwise, IS tho case may be-
mere atoms of mighty machine, mere insects
in vast hive. It is only in silencethst 1t comes
home to us that We are something much greater
than this-thst We are men, with all the uni
verse and all the eternity before u.s.
It is in silence We hear the voice of Truth.
The temples and the marts Of men echo all
night and day to the clsmor Of lies and shams
and qusckeries. But In silence fs'sehood can
not live. You can not float lie on silence. A.
lie has to be pulled sloft and kept from falling
by mems breath. Leave lie on the bosom Of
silence, and 1t sinks. A truth floats there fair
and stately, like some stout ship upon deep
ocean. Silence buoys her up lovingly for all
men to see. Not until she has grown wornout
and rotten, and no longer truth, will the waters
of silence close over her.
Silence is the only real thing We can lay hold
of in this world of passing dreams. Time is .
shadow which will vanish with the twilight of
humanity; but silence is part Of the eternal.
All things that are true and lasting have been
taught to mems hearts by silence.
Among all nations there should be vast tenn
