Teach Thou Me.


Anyone who tries as hard as he can
to please God is sure of divine guidance.
He will get many deep experiences of
human helplessness and a Redeemer's
strength, but when God teaches we
need not dread the lesson. He may
make mistakes, but Gods love holds
on to him and is ready to help him
just as far as he is willing to be helped.
1t may turn him off from the particu-
lar track upon which he was going, but
1t will only be to put him on a higher
and straighter one; for the life Of duty
is always included in, though uplifted
by, the life of love. o, the life of an
archangel is only a life of loving SER
vice; and our little bit Of morality has
it for its privilege to copy it here in
miniature, till we come to the freer,
grander sphere above. To do Gods
will from morn till night, to bring our
hearts in unison with His own, to grasp
the opportunities as they fly, to plant
our earthly seeds for His heavenly
harvest-this is the vocation to which
we are called. May He who sees our
deep unworthiness and frailty and sin
so fill us with Himself that our calling
may be joyl-Between the Lights.

Effective Misunderstanding


In order that one may be an effective
witness we must have some definite
knowledge or experience to communi-
cate, and then must make that knowl.
edge public for the purpose of convinc-
ing others. If Gods people are his wit
nesses, asis clearly taught in His word,
then it follows that they must thor
oughly acquaint themselves with the
Scriptures, which are their infallible
guide in the testimony they bear. The
Scriptures themselves are delivered in
the form of a testimony. The truth
they contain is not truth reasoned out
from premises to conclusion, and con-
sequently subject to all the errors Of
doubtful inference, but it is truth re
vealed in the form of a testimony, and,
therefore, clothed with doguatic au-
thority.
The Scriptures contain the testimony
which Gods people r to receive, and
then reflect it upon the world around
them. His charge to everyone, as He
takes His place upon the witness stand,
is: "Only the word that 1 shall speak
unto thee, that thou shalt speak" ITO
the law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word, it is
because THERE'S no light in them"
Christians, then, must be familiar
with the teachings of the divine word,
in order that they may bear a faithful
testimony. The word of God is the
only rule of faith and practice, and the
conduct of professed believers is re
garded by the world as the exponent
and exposition of the teachings ofScrip-
ture. The world will not search the
written word when it has the living
witness before it, The believer is the
worlds Bible. While to it the written
book is a sealed volume, yet it closely
reads and studies the heart epistles, the
life letters, which Christ has written in
the renewed charter of His regenerate
children.
The conduct Of church members is
regarded as the standard of morality
taught In the Scriptures. Have not
professed believers taken the world Of
God as their rule of duty, and do they
not virtually tell others to judge of the
requirements of Christ By the way
they live9 And has not the word
perfect right to examine the daily tes
timony of the witnesses and to infer
that whatever they do is consistent
with the morality of the Bible7
The world reasons thus: IF God'G
people can travel for business or pleas
ure upon the Sabbath, or can engage ir
promis cuous dancing O card-playing
or can resort to the gamester's arts tt
make money, to speculation in cottor
or grain futures, "a deal in lottery
tickets or take partin shooting matches
or in a hundred other practices Of doubt
full propriety or dangerous tendency
surely such practices cannot be Wronf
for Others" This is the way the world
reasons, and it's logic is good. Hence
the Importance of Christians conform
ing their lives to the one infalIible stand
, ard of conduct. To be competent anC
effective witness-bearers, they mus
| know what the standard is which theI
/ are to illustrate and exemplify in theil
/ daily lives. Presbyterian.

OPINION By THR ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

RALEIGH, May 81, 1897.
MR. WALTER @. FEMsTER,
Atty for Co. Comm'rs,
Newton, N. @.
DEAR SIR:-Your communication of
recent date, requesting my opinion as
to whether the Commissioners for Ca
tawba County, who failed to elect q
County Superintendent of Health on
the first Monday in May, as is required
b Section 1, Oh. 3O1, Laws of 1897,
amending Section 5 of On. 214, Laws
Of 1898, and when their term of Office
begins, has been received. It would
seem that the failure of the Commits
sioners to elect may be remedied by
holding IN election at some other meet
ing, and that the Commissioners are
not functi C1icio, but still have the
power to act in the premises-treating
the time fixed in the act as merely di-
rectory. Buchanan vs. Comm. of Beau,
fort, 80 N. O., 121; McCormac VS..
Comm. Of Robson, so N. O., AL. l
have already advised DR.. r. n. Lewis,
Secretary and Treasurer of the North
Carolina Board of Health, that the
Superintendent of Health, elected on
the first Monday in May of the present
month, will not take Office until the
first Monday in September, the two
years term of Office Of the present in
cumbents not expiring until that time
under the decision of the Supreme
Court in the recent asylum Cases."
Very truly yours,
FEB V. WALsER,
Attorney. General.
