II he himself be coarse and ignorant
and brutal, he may be in the COM
pany, but he will not be q part OF it.
The feast of season and flow Of soul
will be a diet he cannot digest. To
enter into sympathy with such 80
ciety, to enjoy the delights of such
communion, to appreciate the value
of such intercourse, man must have
some inward fitness of mind and soul
to run in parallel lines with what no
finds there.
The life Of Christ in the church,
and in the individual, the life that is
hid with Christ in God, most evident
ly lifts man up from the lower SEN
suous life OF the flesh to the fellow
ship of the eternal. The communion
of the highest life in the universe is
communion with the life Of God. To
be changed into the likeness of the
Son Of God by the power OF the Holy
Ghost is to become Chrlst-like in
mind, in heart, in temper, in character,
in life. The covetoue, or selfish, or
base, can find no enjoyment in divine
things, even If they could receive
them in possession, because there is
no inward disposition in correspon-
dence with them, there is no spiritual
fitness, the inward man is not renew
ed in righteousness and true holiness.
On the contrary there is a personal
fitness for the pure communion Of the
Holy spirit which is not affected by
even the loudest profession or the
boldest asseveration.
The putting on Of Christ Jesus in
wolves the becoming stronger and
stronger in the glorious liberty Of the
children Of God, the reaching after
and attaining a clearer illumination
of divine truth, the assimilation into
the likeness Of Jesus the Son OF God,
the preparation to be clothed with the
robe washed and madG white in the
blood of the Lamb. And as this state
progresses in the soul, 80 the life
manifests more and more of the grace
os God, aud we are altogether made
meet to be partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in life, to be sharers in
the feast provided in the presence Of
God. l..

CALLING FOR WATER.
The Hill Residents Petition for a
Water Bond Election.

A large number of representative
citizens of Agency and Bunker hills
met at the store of w. L. Bradshaw
Thursday for the purpose of taking
some steps toward securing a much
needed water supply.
1t was evident from the remarks of
those present that a water famine ex-
lists in some parts of the city, and the
people on the hills especially are in
dread OF the approach of another
summer. During the winter they
can depend in a great measure on ice.
The people on the hills are united
on the question of the need of water
and it is claimed will vote "for
water" to a man.
After considerable talk, it was
voted unanimously to petition the
council to cali special election for
issuing water bonds for the purpose
of supplying the people of the hills
and other localities IN need, with
water.
That the people may know their
fate as soon as possible, the petition
will be circulated at once, and be
presented to the council week from
tomorrow night.
