BE Not Like the Hypocrites.

One great difference between the
hypocrite and the true Christian is,
that the hypocrite simply wants to ap-
pear good that he may have praise of
Slen and the Christian wants to be
good that he may be like God. The
hypocrite would rather have reputa-
ton for sanctity than holiness ITSELF
but the Christian wants to be like
Christ, even though he may have to be
rev1led and prosecuted for his sake.
Jesus wanted that his disciples should
not be slavish imitators of sinful men,
but true and faithful followers of him
self. He wanted them to be right in
side, instead Of drawing down the face
and looking hungry, and considering
that being religious. He warned them
against the too common error of MAX
Ing religion unattractive by copying
the ways of those who were slaves to
the letter and blind to the spirit of
GODS law. He wanted them to know
that serving God is not hard work
when it is done with a circumcised
heart. Nothing that ISLANDERS Christ
and misrepresents the life of God in
the soul should have any countenance
from the Christian. He should not he
under the dominion of men but he led
by the spirit. He must beware of fall
ing into the performance of any religi-
Gus duty simply to be well spoken of by
men.

supplied to mark his resting place, does

A Real Convert.

of deaconess work, as follows:
1.-The family consisted of young
Swede and his wife, recently married,

times, reading the Bible and praying
with them, and during one OF these

He was willing to do almost anything

he said, If that will please YOU and
opening the Bible he read chapter
aloud, and then, as they knelt together,
ne repeated the Lords prayer.
THE wife was little comforted, but
felt there was something lacking yet.
Then she wrote out a prayer, express

her heart, and the husband repeated
that, and SO the family altar was sus-
tained But she confdes TO the deacon

name was known only to the recording

notwithstanding Church Methods.

The Eighth Presbyterian Church OF
Chicago has cast aside tradition IN the
matter of church methods. Hence
forth 1t will try to give the gospel TO
the masses who at present do not at
tend religious services. The change Is
the result of Investigations made SHOW
ing that the city churches are not
reaching the people. The Salvation
Army will be used. The chairman OF
the invitation committee OF the Elsnth
church says Of the departure:
"The pastor and some of the mem
bers Of the church thought over the
problem of reaching the people and de-
cided that the old-time plan OF church
services. while good in its way, would
never solve it. Those religiously in
clined are reached and benefited, but
the mass of young men, tens OF thou
sands of the great middle classes and
hundreds of thousands of the poor are
practically untouched by the 600 or 700
Protestant churches in Chicago.
I'VE finally decided to revolutionize
the Sunday services. At the evening
service a chorus choir has been added
to the present regular quartet and or
gan. Instrumental and vocal music OF
a lively character precedes the service.
The sermon is short, practical and
evangelistic.
