When we think of the incalculable

love which begrudged not His only be-

He under provocation! How ever mind

ToPIc.-What is profitable Sabbath PIX.
Xxx, S-1l; lisa. lyiii, 5-l4
This is very timely and practical
topic. No commandment of the Deca-
logue is SO recklessly violated today as
The fourth commandment, "Remem-
Der the Sabbath day to keep it holy. J"
By thousands today it is not being kept
in any sense as the Scriptures teach
that it ought. 1t is desecratsd for pleas
ure. Tt is trampled under foot for gold.
Men believe that it pays them better to
use the Sabbath in these various ways
than to use it in the wal for which it
was given and has been preserved. But
men are often shortsighted When
mans way contradicts Gods way, we
may always safely conclude that God is
right and man is wrong. Man will
learn to his sorrow sooner or later that
God was right about the Sabbath and
that it has not paid him as he thought
it would either for business or for pleas
ure to ignore and trample under foot
Gods holy day.
/. A profitable Sabbath is Sabbath
of physical rest. The Hebrew word
translated SABBATH means crest "
The Sabbath was primarily rest day
rest from the tolls of life both by man
and beast. The command is: 'fSix days
shalt thou labor and do all thy work,
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not
do any work. thou nor thy son nor thy
daughter, thy manservant nor thy maid
servant nor thy cattle nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates. +" This is the
law of God. 1t is al .ssays profitable to
obey God. 1t never pays us to disobey
God. The man who thinks that he can
disregard God here is as foolish as one
who would think that he could place
his hand in the fire and not be burned.
The body needs rest. It must have it to
accomplish best and longest the purpose
for which it was created, and by as
much as it is robbed of its time of rest
it loses in strength and also in stability
and before its time will be worn out and
useless.
2. A profitable Sabbath is Sabbath
of worship. While the body rests the
soul improves itself The soul needs this
day from the others of the week, lest
the person, being fully engaged with
the business of life, should forget the
higher life of the soul altogether The
day should be spent in the public and
private worship of God, in the reading
of the Bible and other good books and
papers It should be spent quietly at
home, and not made day of family re-
unions and of social gatherings. These
cannot but interfere with the proper
keeping of the day. The Sabbath could
and should be the most pleasant and
profitable day of the seven if we would
only follow out more closely God S way
of keeping it holy.

League Topics.

1t will be noticed that the League
topics for the present year are of a more
strictly practical and devotional char
acter than for some time past. This is a
movement in the right direction. Ear
nest, aggressive piety is the need of our
young people. The place todevelop this
is in the devotional meeting.
A joint committee of the Epworth
League and Christian Endeavor is to
arrange uniform topics for the devo-
tional meetings. This will be long
step toward substantial unity. The
Sunday schools of the evangelical
churches study the same lessons. Why
should not all the Young Peoples socie-
ties unite also in studying the same
fopics?

Lesson For the Week Beginning March 9.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. NJ.
Topic, Directed to Personal Work.
scRPruRr RrADnNc.-Acts viii, 2e-4o

SCRIPTURE READING.-Acts viii, 26-4O
The martyrdom of Stephen seemed as
severe blow to the followers of Jesus
in Jerusalem as could be inflicted upon
them He was the one man capable in
argument of silencing all opponents in
the synagogues With his death they
lost their best defender. The necessary
dispersion of the flock was also a
source of deep regret. Both Of these
seeming calamities proved, in the wis
dom of God, of inestimable benefit to
the cause of Christ. Stephens death
had much to do with Saul's conversion.
The scattering of the disciples was the
means of propagating the gospel in
places where the followers of Jesus
might never otherwise have gone.
Philip was made deacon to assist in
relieving the needs Of the poor in the
e6hureh at Jerusalem. He became an
evangelist of remarkable gifts. His sue
cess lay in close personal work. After
a campaign of marvellous power in Sa-
maria he feels impelled to go into the
region between Jerusalem and GAIA.
Careful reading Of the Scripture lesson
discloses to us his methods of work. He
is bold, but not obtrusive; strategic,
but not tricky; prompt, but not impetu-
GUS. He overhears the eunuch reading.
He skillfully seizes the occasion to
preach Christ. He secures an invitation
to explain the Scriptures without SEEM
ing to force himself forward His per-
feet courtesy coupled with entire candor
obtains for him believer as we'll as a
willing nearer. He neither feels fatter-
ed nor confused by the presence of the
great man of Ethiopia. He feels at
home in this presence because SO filed
with the message of his Master.
Personal work is difficult to most
young Christians. Skill in approaching
others is rarely natural gift, but must
be acquired through much practice and
often through humiliating failures and
rebuffs Efficiency in helping others in
spiritual difficulties does not grow spon-
taneously. 1t comes in most cases, if it
comes at all, after passing through
trials in ones own experience and learn
ing in the school of pain how to bind
up wounds and cure hurts. Philip came
to the great work of his life after years
of preparation. Be patient and do the
duty that lies at hand thoroughly, and
when God needs messenger for spe-
cial mission He will know where to find
one prepared.
Philips instant obedience to the
prompting of the Spirit is not the least
noticeable of his characteristics. The
alacrity with which one obeys the i'm
pressions of duty is clear index of the
depth and genuineness of his devotion.
When the voice says go, I" it is well
to 60 quickly.

We speak Of garments glistening white
And hope those stainless robes to wear
Soon as we reach the realms Of light,
Where all is pure and fair.
But not for that alone He came,
Our Jesus, strong to save and bless.
His was the cross, the bitter shame:
Ours is His holiness.
And in this sin soiled world may we,
Though fierce the foe and hard the fight
share in His perfect purity
And walk with Him in white.
Teach us to know Thee as Thou art,
Jesus present Saviour Thou,
And let as claim a spotless heart
And wear cur white robes now
