keep yourselves in the love of
God, looking for the mercy Of our
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal
life.' Jude 81.
To reviewing the life OF Him who
spake as never man spake, who low

was delivered for our offences, and
raised for our justification, and
through whom, by faith, being JUST.
fed, We have peace with God what
better theme could We take than His
last words.
1t is said that one halt OF the
world doesn't know how the other
half lives. For instance, in heathen
lands, through ignorance, the sick
are left to die, or are treated worse
than death. A sick woman was
given broth made from her daugh-
tiers hand, and the stump thrust in
to boiling oil to prevent bleeding.
A hole is cut in the foot to let out
fever. For consumption, sulphur
is burned on the chest, and skin dis
eases are treated by applying red
hot iron. The doctor accuses some
one as a witch causing the disease.
who is tortured or burned to death.
A woman's life is worse than q
dogs, and girl baby not worth saw
ing. Girls are sold for marriage at
six years, and are mothers at thir-
teen.
There are fifty millions of women
shut up in the Zonanas OF India.
What a blessing is the Gospel to
them when they can lhear 1t. How
they sieze upon a hope in the next
life, having none in this.
And with what force would the
last words of our Lord come to us
if We only realized how the other
half OF the world lives.
Whose is the money that we call
ours Z If we are not using it for
Him are we robbing Him! He
says, "But We have robbed Me. "
And He also says, "If thou dost
not speak to warn the wicked from
his way, that wicked man shall die
in his iniquity, but his blood will I
require at thine hand"
'Is it nothing TO you, all ye
christians" that in China, fourteen
hundred every hour sink into
Christless graves2 Or that eight
hundred souls in India, every hour
60 down to eternal death1 Or that
in A frica, seven hundred every hour
are dying unsaved
"Is 1t nothing to you, all we
