JOHN WESLEY A. NJ. E. ZION.

Nearly two thousand years ago, in Cor
inth. the beautiful metropolis of southern
Greece. was a church in the midst Of the
city. Not only was the city fair to look
upon. but full of the hustle of business, the
excitement of pleasure. the cankerous wick
edness of self-seeking wealth. 1t was a
spiritually minded church. full of thoughts
pointing to heaven and of temptations lur-
ing toward hell. To this church Paul wrote
at least two letters, and in the second he
said that tine real things the inside
things, and that outward show, whether it
lie In church life, in business. or in society,
is passing and temporary History and
daily life alike voice the same eternal an

ears were deafened with the roar of war;
the factors seemed to be men, money and
muskets: il seemed as il old John Brown

the nation together? Not facts. but faith
Not arithmetic. but the Bible. Not prefer

that right was right. since God was God
and all the past tells the same story that

audience.
Mr.. DyOtts Address.
Mr.. Dyott said:
Christian Endeavorers and church mem
bers in general may be divided into three
classes. First, there is a large class COM
posed Of all who are below the average.
Whatever may be their peculiar expression
OF Christian life in its entirety, 1t is not
so perfect in quality as the life Of others.
The second class Is made Of the sverape
Christians. Their life is not so variabIe
their excellencies are not so spasmodfc the
evidences Of success in Christian work are
not so few; they are better, perhaps than
the majority Of Christians. but practical.
main issue with them.
The third class is the smallest and the
greatest Of the three, making up in quality
what they lack in quantity. They are above
the Christian life. They are truly good !:
but their goodness is winsome and not re-,
pulsive. 1t is not inane, awful, pale-faced
goody-goody goodness. 1t is not all the
self-admirative. 1t is characteristic of this
class that they are not satisfied with pres
ent attainments, feeling that there is no
state Of maturity that will not admit of
advancement.
Christ has declared spiritual birth to be
the only condition Of entrance into the
kingdom Of God. "Ye must be born again"
is not a matter Of choice, 1t is an ar
bitrary command. 1t Is the announcement
of an ulalterable law. A person can no
more live in the kingdom Of God without
being born into that kingdom than he can
live in the natural world without being
born into 1t. These premises are unchange-
able. What, then, Is the conclusion7 Shall
