Il seems fitting that at convention Of
the Christian Endeavor society the cx-
ample of Christ as the model worker for
all disciples should be made prominent,
and especially as the Sunday school
world has begun year OF study Of the
life OF Christ. This July should begin a
great gear IN the study of the life OF our
blessed Lord. The study 81 the life OF
Christ should enlarge our knowledge Of
Christ. our faith in Christ and our re
sem blanoe bo Christ The gospel of
work must he preached. Christ aud his
disciples lived IL and preached it.
How many there are who call Christ
master, and yet do little or no work for
him la the church. aud yet living selfish
livss-profess ny to believe the word Of
God. and yet doing nothing TO save men
from impending ruin.
How refreshing to contemplate Christ,
the worker, as a model for all Christian
workers. An inspired apostle afterward
gave that brief but beautiful description
OF Christi "Who went about doing good"
That was the very description Of the man
Christ Jesus.
We Must Have Christs Spirit
It k something worth remem bering
that Christian work can be done any
where, everywhere and always. II we
would initiate Christ, the worker, we
must have his spirit of prayerfulness, and
of zeal for the glory Of God.
Jesus was found In the temple. Many
have found Jesus In the temple since
then. What pioture-Jesus In the midst
of the doctors, both hearing them and
asking them questions. It would be good
for the teaching doctors now to have
Jesus In their midst-Jesus in the midst
Of our theological schools, Sunday schools.
Endeavor societies aud In the midst Of all
church work.
Young people learn the lesson Of early
con secration to the work of God from the
childhood conservation OF Jesus. Begin
early and be about your business until
the end shall come. Let parents and
teachers give all diligence to win the
children for the service of the Lord.
Work Is the law of success. This Ia
true In all departments of life-in profess
sional and commercial life. Take the
eminently successful mep, and in every
instance work has been the royal road to
success. Great lawyers are great work
ers; great doctors are great workers; great
merchants are great workers.
Christian work is the law of spiritual
life. and It is the law of spiritual prosper
ity. Christian work Is the law of Chris
tisn character, and Christian work shall
be the test of the Judgment day.
