CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

1opio For the Week Beginning Aug. ~.
Comment by Rev. s H. Doyle.
ToPlc--Havs We the spirit of Christ Rom.
~. lis
The Spirit Of Christ" IN this pas
sage of Scripture does not mean the
mind or disposition Of Christ The ex.
preston clearly means the actual in
dwelling Of Christ in the heart Of the
Believer in the person OF the Holy
Ghost. We have also used here the ex-
preston the Spirit OF God This is
identical with the spirit Of Christ ="
Both expressions are identical, and both
designate the Holy Ghost, the adora-
Ole third person Of the Trinity. There
is no impropriety in interchanGing
these expressions. They are the three
persons Of the same Godhead. and
where the Father is there the Son is.
and where the Son Is there the Holy
Shost Is.
The Spirit Of God is everywhere, yet
Ne is said to dwell wherever He special
~ manifests Himself. He dwells in
heaven. He used TO dwell in the tenn
pie. He now dwells in the church and
in each individual believer whose body
Is temple of the Holy Ghost,
Whether the Spirit OF Christ dweils
N Us or not is very important Ques
non. Upon the answer TO this question
depends the validity Of cur claim to
Christianity. II j. the supreme test q
true and genuine discipleship If any
man have not the Spirit Of Christ, be Is
hone of His How may we know
whether we have the Spirit Of Christ;
The first test i the character Of life that
Is in Us. II Christ be i'll Us we are spirit
ually minded and our lives are charac
terized by deep spirituality. If Christ
be net in Us. we love and worship the
world and the things Of the world. III
Christ be III you, the body Is dead be-
cause Of sin, but the Spirit is life be-
cause Of righteousness Our inward
and outward lives viii tell us very
readily whether or not Christ dwells in
Us. A second test Of the lndwelling Of
Christ is fruithearine Il Christ is in
Us, we will bring forth fruit 10 the hon
or and glory Of God. He that abideth
IN Me, says Christ. and l in him,
the same brineeth forth much fruit.
And again. Herein Is my Father elo-
Fifed that He bear much fruit 50 shall
We be Ny disciples And again. by
their fruits shall We know them" By
our lives and by cur fruit we cannet
but tell if Christ dwell in Us Il ne
both by faith and prayer, We should
seek for the outpouring Of the Srlri,
upon Us. We should Cleanse ourselves
from al sin, empty the heart and lie
Of self and the world. Sc that Christ can
come il and dwell with Us. and i He

and, although a superhuman effort is
being made to hold it, many experience
ed river men are of the opinion that
break will occur sooner or later The
town or V1dalia is in a very critical
condition, and many Of the inhabitants
are hastily packing their most valu-
able effects and are fleeing to Natchez
The waters from the Biggs crevasse
are expected to inundate the town by
Wednesday. At Natchez refugees con-
tinue to arrive in large numbers, while

BY the way, there is a good story con-

Stricken But Week Ago. He
Grew Rapidly Worse
Until the End.
Unconscious Much of the Time

Hours.

WASHINGTON, April 17-Seth 7.
M1lliken, representing in the house Of
representatives the Third district Of
Maine, died tonight at $50 o'clock. For
some time Mr.. Milliken had suffered
from serious affection of the bron-
chial tubes which refused to yield to
treatment. Within week more
alarming symptoms appeared, pneumo-
mia setting in and kidney and liver
complications manifesting themselves.
He did not take to his bed, however.
until last week, and, with a few inter-
walls, when he seemed to rally for q
short time, he continued to grow
worse. During the last few days his
breathing was very heavy, and for
much of the time he was unconscious.
Today he failed rapidly and his physi-
clans abandoned hope Death finally
came to his relief at half past nine
o'clock. His remains will be taken to
Maine for interment. During the re-
cent Republican congresses Mr.. MILL
ken had been the chairman of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
and his work on the committee brought
him in contact with persons from many
of the most important cities of the
country.
Mr.. Milliken was born at Montville.
Waldo county, Maine was educated at
Union college, N. Y, where he gradu-
ated in 1856.
He was a lawyer by profession and
was member of the Maine legislature
during two terms. He was also clerk
of the Supreme Judicial court, and
was a delegate to the Republican
National convention at Cincinnati in
1875 He was presidential elector in the
same year. In 1884 Mr.. Milliken was
elected delegate to the Republican
convention at Chicago. His congress
slonal career began with the forty
eighth congress and he served con-
tinously since. He was reelected to
the present congress.
