TIE TRUE AND THE FALSE,
Difference Between Christian Living and
Living Like q Christian.

Difference Between Christian Living and
| Living Like q Christian.
Is there a proper distinction between
Christian living and living like a Chris
tian? Jesus, in one part of the Sermon
on the Mount, characterizes certain
class as doing the things described of
them that they might appear unto
men to fast" 1t may be quite possible
to live, in certain sense, like Chris
tian and still fail in what would prop
erly be meant by Christian living. The
first may mean things outward; the
second can only truly mean that
which is inward, belonging to the es-
sential inner life. The one is to re-
semJLe a Christians; the other TO be a
Christian. u eslfI51H
Life is that mysterious thing which
pervades the whole being of the indi-
vidual to whom it belongs. Much which
we call life is simply its manifestation.
The fact is n familiar one that in use
OF certain agents and processes, for
example galvanism, body from which
life has wholly departed may be made
to exhibit many Of the phenomena OF
actual living. There is nothing pleas
ant in watching such experiments;
they repel rather than attract, save so
far as there may be in them "a lesson
Tor the student or for some other. The
manifestations of actual life, when ac-
cording to nature, are always beauti-
full. To RDe, in the true sense, is that
wonderful gift of the Creator on which
enjoyment of all other gifts depends
and which in itself is the gladdest
privilege of all.
Christian living is having and exer-
cising Christian life. Said Jesus: II
have come that we might have life; and
that ye might have it more abundant
| ly." Perhaps we sometimes under
stand by this salvation simply, as il He
were repeating the idea in the words:
THE Son of man is come TO seek and
to save that which is lost" The
two passages are not parallel,
any further than as salvation"
and "life" are the same thing. Life il
more than salvation. 1t is that full
ness of blessing to which salvation is
the open door. 1t is that Astounding
Divine favor which is granted to those
who already belong To Christ. 1t is
that rich life in the vine which flows
to all the branches, thrills every fiber,
gives beauty to leaf, and ripeness and
flavor to fruit.yHlt Is the Christ life in
the Christian soul. 3l lSff8l,u tie
| Perhaps there is danger that in
these times we shall come to think
that Christian living is Christian ac-
tivity. So IL is, in the sense OF out
ward manifestation But in the sense
OF that which involves the essential
nature Of life itself, there must be
back of activity that which shall sus-
tain and consecrate it; and we all have
need to beware lest in our devotion to
that other, which is least, we too much
neglect this which is all in all. Stand

TYRANNY OF THE WEAK.

The Other Side OF the scripturaI Admoni
ton. (" We That Arc strong Dug it to lea 4
the Iniir mities OF tho Weak"
The strong are commanded to bear
the burdens of the weak" but the
weak are not commanded or even per-
mitted to load their burdens ON the
backs of the strong. The same apos-
tie who exhorts Christians to bear one
another's burdens, and so fulfill the
law of Christ, says, in the same chap
ter. Each man shall bear his own
burden" Through misinterpreta-
tion of these texts the impression has
been widely diffused that "the weak"
have right to play the tyrant over
the strong, and that something radical
is wanting in the Christianity of the
man who resists their forced exac-
lions In certain households we have
often known the weaker and less com
petent members of the family to be as
sisted and waited on and shield
ed, SO that, they came to take,
what was originally dis
play of kindness, as their lawful
due, and to receive, without gratitude,
the mostunremitting service. Wehave
seen wives become the slaves of their
husbands, mothers of their daughters
and sisters of their brothers, through
the mistaken idea that, because they
could do for them what they could not
SO we'll do for themselves, therefore, if
they had "a Christian SPIRIT" they
were bound to serve them. The truth
was that these wives and mothers and
sisters were doing these husbands.

Superficial Manner la which the Failings
OF Mankind Are Judged.
Every man is the curator of muse
um. lie gathers his specimens from
the world of actious. All around him
he finds the deeds of his foilow-men
He takes them, sits in Judgment,
labels, and puts them in cases for per-
manent inspection. But this self
elected curator who labels his broth
ers deeds knows too little of moral
chemistry. His object-glass, if he has
any, is too weak to reveal the hidden
structure OF motives, and he falls into
the error of classifying deeds by the
name of their supposed motives. The
FORMER he knows by the shape, size,
color, weight and hardness; but the
latter he knows little of. lie is not
chemist or microscopic enough to an
alyze deeds into our elemental mo-
tiyes. So his classification is bad. Ac-
