| ter's text is the cause of the origin o.
the British and Foreign Bible Society
which has distributed 5000, 900 Bibles
and printed it in most of the languages
of the earth. Mr.. Clark gathered the
young people of his church together
for a young peoples prayer meeting
and becomes the father of the, Y. p
S. G.. E. of the world. A band of wo-
men, meeting in front of a saloon to
pray for temperance, Is the origin OF
the w. G. T. U. and of the White Ribon
Army that girdles the globe.
Another characteristic method Of the
carrying forward the Divine purpose
is, God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise, and
God hath chosen the weaks things of
the world to confound the things that
are mighty; and the base things of
the world and things which are de-
spised hath God chosen, yea and things
that are not, to bring to nought things
that are" Israel could not understand
how the Messiah could come from the
humble walks of life, himself a day
laborer, a carpenter; rather than from
the wealthy learned, aristocratic, &C.
clesiastical cicles. Could it be expect
ed that they would accept Nazarene
as their Messiah? Can any good
thing come out of NAZARETH" And what
kind of a kingdom would that be in
which the chosen leaders were ignor-
ant, Gallilean fishermen? And this use
of humble means in the setting up of
His kingdom is typical OF the Loru
method of working through the entire
history of the Church.
And not infrequently God has seen
fit to accomplish His work, by means
of a few. Gods minorities have often
carried forward his cause in the face
of the great conservative majorities.
''It may be that the Lord will work
for us; for there is no restraint to the
Lord to save by many, or by few" were
the brave words of Jonathan as he
and his armor bearer alone went forth
TO rout 10000 Philistine chariot, 5000
lorsemen and infantry as the sands of
he sea. And they routed them. And
rs usual those who were afraid to do
battle, joined in the pursuit, and went
home to tell what a glorious victory
hey had won.
"They that be for us be more than
hey that be against u.s." exclaimed
elisha to his servant as they two were
by the Syrian Army at Do
nan. Elisha IGII Iudl GOu was Oh HIS
ide, and he thought that on the side
If truth, God and one man made a
majority.

Moreover, in carrying out His pur-
pose on the earth the night is as i'm
portant as the day. If the day of pros
perity does not always attend his cause,
if the night of reverses or persecution
settles down over truth and right, His
purpose will not be obscured. In the
evolution of truth, reverses may be as
necessary as success. The lions den
may be as potential as the court of
fashion, the fiery furnace as the smile
of fortune, in the development of
right. More fatal to the Church was
the union of church and state than the
Ten Prosecutions. The one corrupted
the Church with her Establishments,
Delilah, despoiling Samson of his locks
and his strength, the other with its
martyrdoms developed generations of
heroes. Seventy years Of captivity did
more for Israel in making her loyal to
God than any like period OF prosper
Gus rule.
One of Gods methods OF work is in
bringing large results from small be-
ginnings. Two lads play at Abra-
hams tent door. The mothers can
not agree. Ishmael is sent away.
Isaac remains. From each of these two
lads comes a great nation, that has had
much to do in shaping the history of
the world.
An ark of bulrushes hidden away on
the bank of the Nile contains an infant
that is destined to be Israel's deliver
er and Gods law-giver under the first
covenant. A shepherd lad becomes
his nations warrior, poet, statesman
and king.
Robert Rakes gathers few children
from the street to study the Bible, on
