Comment by Rev. ;. III. Doyle.
TopIc.-What Christian heroism is and does.
Luke tx. 1926, 5l-62.
Christian heroism consists OF princi-
ples and not Of definite, specific actions.
What may be heroic at one time or III
one place at another time or III another
place may be the merest commonplace
action. In Christian America 1t Is an
honor aud privilege to confess Christ.
In heather China or India confession OF
Christ may require the noblest KIND OF
heroism. To kneel in prayer at our bed
side when surrounded by loved ones or
our own Christian homes is matter OF
no thought so far as courage or boldness
is concerned. 10 do the same IN room
occupied by companions or sohoolmates
who are not Christians may demand
martyr spirit indeed.
The principles of Christian heroism
are expressed by Christ when He says
''If any man will come after Me, let
him deny himself, take up his cross
daily and follow Me. F" These are the
principles which He Himself followed
and the servant is not greater than his
Lord. The Christian hero is not neces-
sarily the one who is burned at the
stake or slain by the sword or left TO rot
in damp prison cells. He is the one
who. in will, surrenders his life entirely
to God and daily bears the cross OF Jesus
and follows Him.
1. Christian heroism includes self de-
NAL. LET him deny himself. The
man who becomes Christian hero must
DENY himself. He must lose himself alb
solutely in the will of God. He must be
able to say with Paul, II am crucified
with Christ, and it is no longer that
live, but Christ liveth III me-" When
we lose self in Christ and God, hard
ships and sacrifices become easy for us,
for it is no longer question as to wha'
we want to do, but what God in Chris
wants us to do.
Q. Christian heroism includes eros
bearing ''Take up his cross daily. ;
) Christ not only denied Himself. but hi
also bore His own cross. So must 1t ID
with His disciples. Every life has IL
crosses--yea, even its daily crosses--an'
we not only have to deny self, but t
take up and carry these daily crosse
= that come TO us in tho home, III til
= schoolroom, in the office, in the work
. shop and even in the church itself,
3. Christian heroism includes follow

Tho Eskimo's Kayak.

Some queer craft are described by
Gustav Kobbe in st. Nicholas, and lie
saws of the native Greenlander's boat:
While the tropical aud semitropical
sailor clings to his lateen rig, the ex-
IRENE northern race, the Eskimo, clings
perforce to his kayak and paddle. The
KAYAK suggests our racing shell, but
without the sliding seat, and so covered
over that only hole remains to admit
the body. Even if the Eskimo of the
extreme north wished to adopt a sail,
he could not do so for lack of wood for
the mast. The light frame of his kayak
is made of bone skillfully thonged with
seal leather, and the skin OF the seal Is
generally used for the covering. l have
seen the Eskimos of Labrador III their
KAYAKS. and it is wonderful with what
a quick. nervous culver these light craft
respond to the slightest touch OF the
paddle. Within easy reach are the mar
moons, guns and bladder floats OF thes'
daring sea hunters, who, i'll their fral
looking kayaks, with icebergs towerins
almost in their course, and the Whlt'
glare of the ice "loom" in the ofilng
brave dangers compared with whlcl
those encountered by the navlgators O
the iying proas, dahabeahs and mu
letas are trifling. The Eskimos furnish
the extreme instance of that dogge'
courage of the northern races when
united with intellectual energy, ha
enabled those more favored III their sur
roundings than these jewellers ON arcti
shores to develop into the great peopi
| of the earth.

Ua who Truly Loves.

Some one has well said that he who
truly loves the church of God is he VINO
truly loves the God of the church.
Church membership is a solemn obliga.

other hand, he who becomes faithful
attendant upon the services OF the sane
tuary will find constantly increasing
delight in taking his place among the
people of God. Presbyterian Messen'

Grants Patent Of Nobility.

During the years OF his second al

customed to spend his summers at Mont

Ethel, and his S-year-old stepson, Rlch-

Without further ado Richard applied
