1t is not rare to hear from the enc
mics of foreign missions the assertion
that the converts are rice Christians"
i. e., pretenders for the sake Of the
food they receive. Yet, ON the contrary,
some of these men, rescued from the
thraldom of ignorance and heathenism,
could teach q lesson to Christians at
home. For example, one Of our self sup
porting churches in China, whose world
ly possessions amount by careful esti-
mate to about 80, 900, gives annually
$3.50 for church purposes. We think

One Of the greatest sorrows of famous
personages is that it is impossible to
live up to the ideal opinion which the
people whom they meet in the ordinary

1t is recorded that certain literary
man of high reputation had occasion to
remark to waiter in the restaurant
where he sometimes lunches:

The waiter looked at him with sor-

Topic For the Week Beginning Sept. 70.
Comment by Rev. 8. II. Doyle.
ToPrc.-Consecration. What it is What It
does.-Rom. xii, 1-21.
This twenty first chapter Of Romans
is the first part of the practical part Of
the epistle The first IL chapters are
doctrinal, the last four practical Paul
has just proved some Of the greatest and
most important truths Of the gospel, and
as practical application Of these be
calls upon his readers to surrender them
selves entirely and absolutely to God
The subject Of conservation which IL in
volved in this apostolic appeal Is an
important one. It is the one great lesson
that the church of today needs to learn
the entire conservation Of ourselves
and our all to God. Well may we con-
slider what conservation is and what II
does:
l. What is conservation? (Rom. Xii,
~ Conservation is the setting apart or
the dedication Of person or thing sa-
credly and solemnly to God. The Sab
bath day is consecrated to God. It IL
set apart for Him. It Is devoted entirely
to Him The conservation OF person Ia
the same thing. 1t is the dedication Of
that person to God and the entire dedi-
cation Of him. There is no condition Rt-
tached to it. 1t is complete and un-
conditional surrender of ourselves to
God The characteristic Of entirety Ia
seen in the sacrifice to which Paul re-
fers. II beseech you, therefore, breth-
rem, by the mercies Of God, that ye pre-
sent your bodies living sacrifice. Paul
undoubtedly refers to the sacrifice OF
burned offering, one characteristic OF
which was that the entire Offering was
consumed. Thus completely and abso-
lutely are we to set ourselves apart for
God. This is not unreasonable. Paul
calls it reasonable service" 1t is by
the mercies Of God that he appeals to
us. 1t is Gods goodness to Us that
makes it reasonable for Him to ask for
ourselves in return. God has inst
claim ON us. He asks nothing but what
He gives us strength to do. he asks
only what is for our good In time and
eternity. Have we consecrated ourselves
to God?
2. What does conservation dor from.
Xii, 2-21) This might be summed up in
one sentence by saying conservation
makes us willing to do the whole will
of God. If we have truly dedicated our
selves to God, we will have but one de-
sire, and that to please and serve Him.
We will not be conformed to this world
We will fulfill faithfully our duties in
life in whatever sphere Of life God has
cast our lots We will at the same time
obey all the practical injunctions that
Paul exhorts us to.obey in the closing
verses of this chapter. II consecrated 10
God, we will live wholly and entirely
for God.

She led me into the handsome room
and went to a wardrobe. There, from
beneath other dresses, she drew plainly
cut coat, or redingote, of thin black
cloth, with many buttons down the
front, and spread it on a chair. About
the height of the knees piece was torn
away and a button gone.
"Hush' she said. 1--WE don't know

the button on it.
