You are Inclined to literature, said
the oracle; but the love of admiration
and the attention Of society drifts you
from your purpose. A person with
such foot must necessarily be court

talents will fail. You are like the

their fortunes told grew restless, feet
were uncovered and with Impotence
planted before the oracle. In panto-
mime the wraiths conveyed the fact
that they would not wait; they must
know their fate. So the oracle arose
from her seat of honor and kneeling
down pointed TO such and such indi-

universal concern, and consists in the
fulhllment of his life as a mission among
men; as divine errand in the world.
The word holiness" if rightly compre-
hended would express the end of educa-
ton. To educate one is to make him
whole" " but the process is not the
wholeness any more than the sun that
pulls the oak out of the acorn is the tree.
A man is being educated only by that
which is calling all the powers OF his
whole life into sacrifice and service. The
realization OF both a Christian education
and a true democracy will proceed with
the making OF whole men and women.
The whole man is a political being. He
who is not in the best sense politician
is something less than a man and fails to
fulfill his life. He who withdraws from
the politics of his nation for the sake Of
private interests. that he may devote
bimself to material gain or intellectual
study, has morally betrayed his nation.
An immediate function of our national
revival of Christianity is to unity the
various reforms, political. social and re-
ligious, that are now working independ-
emily and largely at cross purposes.
The Christ of God is manifestly arising,
as i'll the midst of our political corrun-
tions. religious apostasies and social dis
order. We live in the early consummation
of system, a materialistic development
of civilization, that is as truly exhausted
of its vital forces, and decadent and rela-
lively as confident and revengeful, as the
Roman system into which Jesus came.
So in the midst of the<awful days that
draw near, in the tribulation of the social
change there must grow up new Chris
tian fellowship " Which will draw no visible
lines of separation and form no new in
stitutions. BY such fellowship of men.

proach of Christ, to throw away their

retrospect and prospect of joy as to make
each life song of hope to the world.

tention. and disclaimed that he had made
pessimistic utterances through the course

had been to persuade his audiences to
practice the things for Christ that they

From all indications the benefit to be
given Captain Jack Williams at Athletic

that it will be brisk and have sport.
