Topic. The Interoessory Prayer.

SCRIPTURE READING.-John xvii
Christian unityl How much has
been written and spoken and sung and
dreamed upon this subject How dill
gently men have sought basis Of
union, and after all seeking and resolv-
ing and debating have separated more
hopelessly than beforel viii mankind
rcfsr be united? In some things they
always have been one. In other mat
ters they never will be and never ought
to be- Unity and uniformity are entire
ly different matters, yet are often con-
founded. An old motto is good one "a
remember in this connection, In essen
tials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty
in all things, charity
The difficulty is men see things
through different eyes and represent in
themselves all stages Of mental and
spiritual progress and development.
Yet each wants all others 10 do as be
does. Modes Of worship must conform
TO the taste and prejudices Of the one or
the few. Belief must be such as the one
or the few have discovered of the great
realm Of truth. Conduct must conform
to the ideas and conveniences # the
few who set the styles. All this is a
uniformity of death and not unity Of
life. So long as men live all hope Of
such conformity to type must be aban-
doned. No compact, however solemnly
made, can keep men together in these
things. No laws, however stringent,
can repress and hold in check the ruling
forces Of nature in the development Of
diversity in the individual life. Each
must unfold his own life somewhat diff
ferently from any and all others in the
universe. Unity, if it ever come, must
be unity of spirit in a diversity Of
manifestations. Let each one study
anew and with deep thoughtfulness this
prayer Of Jesus the Christ THAT they
may be one, even as we are one" con-
tains the essential principle of it all
Compare with this Paul's teaching re-
garding the unity Of the spirit in the
different members and offices of the
church. and we see the utterly unwar-
rantable nature of much of the striving
after union Of the present time.

TIL. Young Men For Chris,

1t is unquestionably fact that the
majority of the young men of the land
are not at the present time in the
church and active in her work. Figures
are often cited to show the proportion
of those who are not Christians as COM
pared with those who are professed fol-
lowers of Christ. Whoever is intimately
acquainted with the young men of any
locality knows enough of their practices
to make his heart sick with sorrow and
to arouse him TO warn them of their
danger.
But there is encouragement TO be had
from a comparison of matters as they
now are with the condition of things at
the opening Of the century. AT that
time intidelity was open, bold and pre-
dominant among the young men of this
country In the colleges the Christians
were very few, being the rare excep-
tions TO the general rule Those study
ing for tho ministry were conspicuous
by their rarity Open vice abounded.
Now there are multitudcs of the most
talented young men active in church
work. The Young Men S Christian asso-
citation has become one of the powerful
agencies everywhere recognized in the
country as making for righteousness.
Our colleges have changed i'll moral
tone, so that the Christian men among
the students form large and infiuen-
tial company, who deeply affect the life
and tone Of the whole body. The young
peoples societies in the churches are
surely changing the type of young life,
making it purer, moro refined, happier,
more helpful and Christlike. Visions
of a better day rise before the eyes of
our young men. Christ is their worthy
leader
