CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic For tho Week Beginning Dec. 8.
Comment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.

Topic For tho Week Beginning Dec. 8.
Comment by Rev. S. ii. Doyle.
ToP1c.-.Not to be ministered unto but to
minister. '-Math. Xxx, 1928
The topic is quotation from Christs
words in answer to the request of the
mother of James and John that they
should have exalted positions in His
kingdom. It gave Him the opportunity
to announce the fact that His kingdom
was not to be like the kingdoms of the
world. In tie worldly kingdom the
great exercise authority; in Christ's
kingdom the humble and lowly. They
are the greatest. and they win the high
est positions which are to be bestowed.
1. In ministering to others, instead
of being ministered unto, we follow the
example of Christ. Christ spoke the
words of the topic in reference to Him.
self. He came not to minister, but to be
ministered unto Christ was the great
est of all, yet He became the servant of
all His mission in life was to minister.
He lived to minister His act in wash
ing the feet of His disciples was only
an illustration of the whole spirit and
substance of His life. He died not for
Himself, but for others. In all this He
gave an example to His disciples. The
servant is not greater than his lord. If
Christ lived to serve Christians should
live to serve Thus and thus only can
they exemplify Christ spirit before the
world.
2. In ministering instead of being
ministered unto we accomplish the pur-
pose for which God brought us into the
world. God created man to glorify Him.
We best glorify Him when we give our
lives for those who are about us in life.
God in Christ gave Himself for the
world, and as Christ fulfilled His mis-
sion in life by giving His life for others,
so we can best fulfill our mission in the
world. The most important aim of life
should be to do God 's.will, to accom-
plish the end and aim Of our existence,
and if to do so we must live for others
we should not hesitate or falter
8. In ministering instead of being
ministered unto we benefit ourselves.
Christ did not say that there was no
HttoA Va ckAAbAt1O4A W t4CelO LII O41O Ni11 ID
tian life. He simply declared that it
was not the same as the worldly path
Greatness in Christianity is achieved
by humility. Exaltation comes by hui
initiation. True Christian greatness lies
in forgetting self and in thinking of
others. The one who exalts himself
shall be abased. The one who aliases
himself shall be exalted. Let us initiate
more and more the example of Him
who came mot to minister, but to be
ministered unto.

The beginning of Charity.

1t begins at home. Every member of
the League should be an active worker
in the prayer and class meetings of the
church, in the Sunday school and in the
devotional meetings of the chapter. So
far as is possible. each of the other de-
partments of the League should have
attention and assistance The preaching
service Of the church should be regular
ly attended The contribution box should
never be neglected. The Bible should
be daily companion, read and studied
carefully. Private prayer should never
be neglected. All this is the beginning
of loving exercise of fervent piety. Only
at the peril of great loss to the soul can
any of these exercises be omitted or
sighted. After the soul has fed itself
in this way it will be strong and have
time to think of needs beyond. Let low
ing care, however, begin with self and
home necessities. This is the "look up"
part of our work. This first is neces-
sary. Other things follow.

The Gain From Loss.

One of the hardest lessons of life to
learn is patience under disappointment
and the gain that comes through de-
struction of our cherished ambitions.
The greatest apparent calamities are
frequently the most influential benefits
in the sequel. Boston and Chicago were
builded better after their fires. London
could never have been the city of modern
times but for her publication by flame.
Many lives are in a similar way occu-
pied with unworthy and unsightly
things. The aims are sordid and short
sighted. The removal of wealth or
friends or the blasting of favorite
schemes turn the soul and mind to
some higher aim and enlist the faeul-
ties in more worthy occupation, so
that the failure and loss so bitterly re-
GREETED at the time are at last more
than made good in the broader attain
ments and deeper joy.
If there were not some things in our
lives shaken into ruins, we would often
find shanties occupying the sites where
palaces were intended to be. The old is
removed that better things may be build
ed in their places.

a legend of church Music.

There is an old monkish legend that
contains a thought bearing upon church
music:A There was once band of poor

musiey ind slafa4arso they were filed with
regret because their service was SO i'm
perfect. One day there came to them
one who had spent his whole life with
music and musicians; one who under
stood all possible variations of tones and
the relations between them. And he
pointed out to these humble monks the
imperfections in their musical service,
and he made them ashamed, and they
asked him to sing for them and he sang,
and it seemed to them that they had
never heard anything so grand. But
that night voice asked the abbot why
they had forgotten their evening song.
The old man replied that they had not
forgotten it; on the contrary, they had
had most magnificent service. mag
nificent it may have been," said the
voice, s'but not one sound of worship

Why Not Begin Now?

If you are not Christian, why not
become one this very moment by accept
ing Jesus as your Saviour and dedicat-
ing yourself to His service? VIII you
ever find more suitable time than this
quiet Sabbath evening? Will it ever be
easier than at this moment? Will you
gather strength for such step by lying
supinely on your back until the enemy
has bound you completely, hand and
foot? Can you think Of any reason why
you should not begin to be Christian
this very moment? Can you not think
of many reasons why you should take
this all important step just now? 81

Processing Christians.

The protesting Christian ought not
fail to subject himself from time to
time to an examination with the ques-
lions: What spirit dwel1s in my
heart? What good have | been doing?
What works of love have done? What
deeds of charity have I performed?
What fruits of the Spirit, what evidence
of love have I to show? Let all remem-

charity. Reformed Church Messenger.

The Most Dimcult.

Wonderful changes are taking place,
and these often come suddenly. They
show that we should not despair in any
circumstances of the triumph of truth.
That triumph is as certain as that the
promises are true. All we have to do is
to work, wait and suffer. The latter is
a most difficult thing to do without
complaint. Christian Instructor.

The Lives of Mountain Women.

The lives Of mountain women are mar
rowed to a pitiful compass of toll and do
nestle sacrifice. They are often very
pretty in extreme youth, with gentleness
of expression and an inherent dignity
wholly inexplicable except on the ground
CT ancestral reflection, for it is certain
that some of them have an infusion of
good old blood. Their outdoor life gives
them a peculiar softness and brilliance of
coloring which, with the subtle charms of
youth, lends beauty to even the plainest
face; but unfortunately hard work soon
does away with any beauty they may pos
sess. and they age long before their years
would warrant.
real hardships of life begin, for until that
time their mothers shield them from the
heaviest burdens When moonshiner
marries he takes his bride home tn his
fathers house. while he puts I'D a shack
near by with perhaps two rooms, and they
begin to work the ground around ii. The
little bride follows the plow with her hoe
all through the long hot spring and sum-
mer with cheerful patience and resipna-
tion Even when the children come she
does not shirk the work, but takes them
with her, and the first little toddler is
taught to watch over the helpless infant
