WHAT Is a CRHksEIAES
''ran Maclarsu" Defines him as
One Who Has Attained TO Bis
Height In Christ.

"Christ did not come to cramp any
ones manhood he came to broader
IT, writes the Rev. John Watson, ID
ID. CLAN Msclaren''), on "a Young
Mans Religious Life" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. Gle did not
come TO destroy our manhood; he
came to fulfill it, A thoroughgoIng
christian Is C man with stronger
reason, kinder heart, firmer will, and
richer imagination than his fellows
one who has attained to his height in
Christ. A bigoi, or prig, or weak
ling lie a half-developed christian, one
not yet arrived at full age.
"What ought christian to read ?
Every book which feeds the intellect.
Where ought he to go2 Every place
where the moral atmosphere is pure
and bracing. What ought he to do ?
Everything that will make character.
Religion is not a negative giving up
this or that, but positive, getting
and possessing. If man will be
content with nothing but the best
thought, best work, best friends, best
environment, he need not trouble
about avoiding the worst. The good
drives out the bad. There are two
ways of lighting dark room: one is
to attack the darkness with candles !;
the other is to open the shutters and
let in the light. When light comes,
darkness goes. There are two ways
of forming character: one is to con-
quer our sins, the other is to cultivate
tine opposite virtues. The latter plan
is best, because it is surest-the virtue
replaces the sin.
christianity is not drill; it is
life, full, free, radiant and rejoicing.
What young man should do is not
to vex himself about his imperfec-
tious, but to fix his mind on the
bright image of Perfection; not to
weary his soul with rules, but to live
with Christ as one liveth with
friend. There is one way to complete
manhood, and that ia, fellowship with
Jesus Christ"

He has an unfailinE source OF
pleasure who has learned to enter
largely into the joys of others. Paul
was always happy, because, although
in chsips, he always knew of some one
else who was happy. Jesus himself,
although "man of sorrows and ac-
quafnted with grief," always had a
