Lesson F'r the Week Beginning Nov. FL.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. M.
Topic. The Foes of the Church.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Eph. vi, 1912
Jesus gave His followers warning of
perils and Affections which they might
expect to encounter, and the day has
never since dawned when the church
has been freed from the attacks of ene-
mics. In the world we shall have trib-
ulation, but be of good cheer; have
overcome the world. " The greatest dan
ger does not arise from open and violent
prosecutors. In the ten great persecu-
tions which swept the church in the
first 800 years after Christ the power
Of the Roman empire was exerted to
crush out the rising religion. Death in
its most cruel forms was inflicted Oh
the hated people Every device was
tried to stop the spread of the Christian
faith, but all was in vain so long as
the bodies of the believers only were
made to suffer. The more they were
prosecuted the more they chung to the
promises of God and looked for heaven
ly reward and eternal life. For every
one put to death tw, seemed to be add
ed to the church, converted from the
ranks of her foes by the spectacle Of the
heroism and faith of the martyrs. "The
blood Of the martyrs became the seed of
the church" The very sufferings of the
disciples appealed to the sympathies of
their enemies until prosecutions made
the church powerful. Timidity and
hypocrisy were killed, while courage
and virtue of every kind fiourished.
The foes of the church most to be
feared have never been flesh and blood.
Poverty and persecution have rarely
hindered her progress. Spiritual apathy,
indifference, lukewarmness, half heart
edness, spirit of doubt and debate,
contention for honors and privileges,
suspicion and enmity, chickering's and
divisions, all these strike powerfully at
the life of piety and hurt the church.
Whatever prevents strong faith in
God and His immediate presence and
checks the fervor of loving fellowship
affects the life of the individual and
the church for evil more than any posi-
BILE persecution.
Spiritual wickedness is the great foe
to be feared. This power can be over
come only by spiritual weapons No
amount of intellectual vigor and acute
ness will suffice. Implicit trust in God
and His word, simple belief and child
like confidence in Him, this only will
overcome the powerful assaults of the
enemy Not our ability or knowledge,
but Gods wisdom and power, is our re-
lance If satan be stronger than God,
we are hopeless and helpless If God in
Christ be all wise and all powerful. we
are hopeful and happy and safe.
But this power of God must be in us
and work out through u.s. We must do
the wrestling. We must close i'm death
grapple with the powers of darkness
and fight to q finish. Many are captive
in the clutches of some secret sin or
lust or petty enmity or ambition who
should put on the might of God and
burst their bonds.
No other strength will do. We must
be strong in the Lord not strong in our
opinions or fancies, in our preferences
or pride, but only strong in God and
filled with His might Here lies victory.

LOVE ALONE is MONARCH.

Love Is a mighty monarch
Whom all that live obey.
All people Of all nations
Are brought beneath his sway.
The earth is his dominion.
We are his subjects all.
While there are youths and maidens
His empire shall not fall.
TnG,gh men at times may scorn him
And laugh at love, the hour
Shall come when they will own him
And yield them to his power.
So have / found since Nellie
Smiled on me, for her eyes,
Two powerful loadstars, hold me
To love willing prize.
Though could break the bondage
In which my days are passed,
/ would prefer such slavery
AS this should ever last.
bow loyal subject
Before power unseen,
For love, know, is monarch,
And Nellie is his queen.
But when before the altar
Her hand is given to me
Will then be the master
And she my subject be?
Nay, neithe~l Marriage gives Us
All rights in equal parts,
For love alone is monarch
And rules us from our hearts.

Stir It Up.

Paul exhorts Timothy to stir up the
gift that was in him. Some folks now
need the same exhortation. There are
many who once offered vocal prayer in
the prayer meeting or who spoke in the
class meeting who have long been silent.
They have no less ability than they used
to have. They may be colder in reli-
gious experience or less consistent in
their living, but all the more they
need to be stirred up and then to them
selves stir up their gifts. This is the
time to search for all who were once ac-
tive and now lack energy. Hunt them
mp. Lovingly lead them to renewal of
zeal and labor.

Is probably one that the once famous Lady
Anne Clifford extorted from one of her
tenants. BY old custom, the tenants Of

tribute of 500 boon hens I'm addition to
their rent. A rich clothier among the ten
