Go Slow.

There is no more ominous word than
fast, which means great deal more
than do many slang words. 1t means
that it is possible to get through life il
such hurry as to eurtail that which
one would suppose it would be to our
interest TO lengthen. When the end is
reached. there is collapse-all is lost.
Do we not do well to ask if this is the best
thing dat life can do for u.s. Is there
nothing higher than this feverish haste,
nothing better and more manly than
this perennial round Of frivolous excite
ment? Remember that he who thus
throws his life away throws away a
chance wholly unique. Only once there
is given to us the possibility of living
out this brief life as God intended that

Magazine, Book and Newspaper Notes.
With the November issue, the Ladies
Home Journal reac hes its fifteenth birth
day, and Edward Box, its editor, reviews
the past OF the magazine under the unique
heading OF Fifteen Years OF Mistakes.
He brings into light the Journals mis-
takes OF the past, and ingeniously shows
that they are OF service as being among
the things that can be avoided in the
future, and they therefore stand as a val
liable lesson such as only experience can
teach. In the face OF the mistakes OF
fifteen years, Mr.. Bok's article shows
that the Journal has reached a circula-
tion of $4,000, and that it Is read In

semi-civilized countries on the globe

TorIo.-''1'he good fight. IL Tim. Vi, 1l-l6:
Il Tim ", :,
The Christian life was often hkeued
by Paul to a warfare. 1t may have been
that his long residence at Rome, where
soldiers were constantly being drilled
and disciplined, may have suggested the
figure. Whatever suggested it it is an
apt and telling one. The Christian life
is a constant struggle, ii ceaseless war
fare between right and wrong, between
holiness and sin, between the kingdom
of God and the kingdom of satan, 1t is a
good fight, because it is III good cause,
has good captain and produces good
results 1t is fight Of faith-faith in
God and Christ, faith in humanity,
faith in eternal life.
The enemies in this fight are Biblically
called 1.-THE world the flesh and the
devil" This world is net friend to
grace. It's influence is to draw Us away
from God and to weaken Us in the great
struggle for eternal life The flesh is
wicked sinful self, the natural human
heart, which is cnmity against God.
The principal adversary Of thc human
soul in its struggle for life however is
the devil. personal powerful, fallen
being. whose knowledge Of our weak
ness and power to tempt US make him Il
formidable enemy indeed aud over
whom we can gain the victory through
the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
The weapons for this fight Paul de-
scribes in Eph vi, 1917. They are the
girdle of truth-the truth as it is in
Jesus; the breastplate of righteousness,
not our own personal righteousness, but
the righteousness of Christ; the sandals
Of the gospel of peace which has been
prepared, and as result Of being at
peace with God we can stand firm and
secure, as one with sandals on his feet;
the shield of faith, strong real, abiding
faith in God; the helmet Of salvation,
for being assured of our salvation we
can hold our heads erect as one who
wears helmet; the sword Of the Spirit,
which is the word of God, by which we
are to overcome all the arguments Of
the evil one.
The result of this fight will be vic
tory or defeat, as we enter upon it and
continue it-victory if trusting in God
we use the knowledge He has given us
with His power to overcome; defeat if,
lightly esteeming the enemy, we put our
trust in our own knowledge and powers.
Paul won a glorious victory. Face to
face with the end of life, as the war
fare is about to close, he writes to Tim
othy: Il have fought good fight,
have finished my course, I have kept
the faith. Henceforth there is laid up
TOR me a crown of rejoicing, which the
Lord, the righteous Judge will give me
in that day, and not to me only but
unto all them also that love His ap-
pearing." What Paul accomplished
every Christian can accomplish, May
his example inspire us all to the re-
quired effort
