Lincoln's Log.

With the earlier anecdotes OF LIN
coins size and strength are linked al
WAYS other anecdotes Of his story telling
in the intervals between working hours
when his long, gaunt figure would be
stretched at ease, and he would pour
ont stories, anecdotes and bits OF mimic
re till the crowd around him was help
less with laughter.
In one town, where he stopped four
weeks to build flatboat, there was pre-
served and pointed out for many years
a peeled log, called Abe's log whereof
he and his listeners used to sit loungins
and whiting in the summer evenings
So irresistibly funny were the yarns tha'
Abe told there that, said the narrator
who used to be one Of the boys, when
ever he'd end up in his unexpected way
the boys ON the log would whoop and
roll off.
The result Of this appreciative TIC
ton. constantly repeated, was that Abe
log. So long as it was in existence dis
played a polish like mirror from one
end to the other. Companion

Comment by Rev. W. J. Yates. A. NJ.
Topic, Founding "a New Church.

SCRIPTURE LESoN. -Math. xvi, 70, 10: xviii,
$50; Luke XIII ~, 30; xiv, 4G-is,
All men possess spiritual nature
capable of knowing right and wrong,
and have free power TO choose and act
either way.
True religion consists in right ideas
Of God and man and right actions and
feelings toward them. All systems Of
religion have possessed some elements
Of truth and some Of error. Jesus
Christ, as Son Of God, was alone capa-
bio Of revealing tn" true nature and
will Of God AS Son Of Man He alone
of the race was perfectly obedient TO the
will Of God, and in life and death be-
came the perfect specimen Of the race
and type of what all should attain. He
was truth and life and way. He saves
men from the evil and wrong, and by
imparting to them the Spirit Of God
enables them To become like Himself,
sons of God and heirs jointly with Him
self of the divine nature.
Jesus Christ has provided redemption
for all men. The offer of salvation must
be proclaimed by men. The believers
must be gathered into companies IL
which the ordinances of worship shall
oe rightly administered and godly &C
tivity maintained. This human associa
ton is the church of Jesus Christ, il
which He dwells by His Spirit in tn
conscious life Of each true disciple.
Authority to maintain godly watcl
care over each member is given as tn
power of the keys" Duty to teach an
help all to higher attainments is i'm
posed The right TO the holy symbols c
baptism and eucharist is secured. Th
obligation to carry the good news OF sa
walton and offer of mercy to every sou
is imposed The enduement with powt
and grace for every work is promise
and provided.
The work Of the church Of jest
Christ is the moral renovation OF Il
world and bringing in of righteousne
) as the ruling power in individual liv
and society. The commission is in u
