have to walk carefully about him and
see that rhiaRs go just as he says. and
yet the angel In heaven writes down at
the close of the year 25cts per quarter
for missions and perhaps not over S25 90

Again, God desires systematic SER
vice. This brings concentration and
prevents q waite of energy. A spoon
full of powder laid loosely and ignited
will cause only flash. Concentrate 1t
within the walls of q mauser and it
will send the bullet through the enc
mics heart and rescue the friend. Had
these people dug no trenches and
bitches through the valley, much of
the water would have been absorbed
in the loose irregular earth and vast
ed, but with the bitches and trenches
it would quickly flow to it's destinstiou
with the least possible waste. Much
time ia sometimes wasted in church
conferences, committees, etc, through
lack of formulated purpose and sys-
tematic action. Many good sermon
loses much of its power through lack
OF concentrated purpose aud systema-
tic action.on the part of the church
workers. Many q prayer for power
has been prayed when If God gave the
power at oil it was wasted through q
failure to apply 1t intelligently. And
finally, God wants communicative
energy.
Here is the climax of the whole-that
the blessing might be communicated to
others. Make the trenches dig the
bitches, and when the water.begins to
tow it will soon spread to every man
and every beast. God sends you the

boat was in instantly lowered and a crew
sent out with instructions to bear down
on the wreck. Away after that drift

mountain swell OF roaring sea; they
reach it, they shout, and now a strange
object rolls from the canvass screen
against a broken mast. It is hauled
into the boat and proves to be the
trunk of man bent head and knees

to be hardly felt in the ample clothes.
They take it to the ship and place 1t on
deck. The seamen gather around in
horror and pity. But suddenly their
feelings change to great astonishment.
The object shows signs of life, and

was the first impulse of this almost
dead heart, brought to life again,

faith and concentrated effort to send
the blessing to all.
