The ComnanY Of Christ.

It was said of Melik Shah, one of the
noblest Of the Seljuk emperors. that ''to
belong to his household, to hold his
commands, was not merely an honor
and privilege. It was also an appren-
ticeship in principles. In serving the
sultan one grew like him, and stand
ard of conduct was thus set up, modelled
upon the life of the royal master, the
pattern and exemplar of the age A
chief CT governor was esteemed by pub
lie opinion in accordance with the de-
gree in which he conformed to the sui
tan's example. .
These words could scarcely be i'm
proved upon as statement CT the priv
ileges and duties Of Christian disciple
ship. How truly to belong to Christ is
"not merely an honor and a privilege, !"
but "also an apprenticeship in princi-
plesi" If in serving the famous sultan
one grew like him, much more is this
true Of the follower of Jesus Christ. =

Topic For the Week Beginning Aug
G-Comment by Rev. 3. III. DoyIes
Torlc- Drifting. Eph. ~, II; Jas. /. Is
Weare living in an age characterized
by the unsettleirent of faiths The
tendency Of the age is to cast reflection
and doubt upon the Beliefs Of the past,
in science, literature, history and re-
ligion. Many past scientific beliefs are
doubted or discarded. Literature and
history fare little better. Doubt has
been cast upon Homer's authorship Of
the 4'Iliad' and Odyssey, William
Tells existence, Shakespeare's title to
the plays which have been attributed
to his name. This spirit is specially
prolific in the sphere of religion. What
is not doubted by some one2 The result
is that many are unsettled and unsta-
Bile. Many do not know what to believe.
They are drifting. They are children,
tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind Of doctrine, by the
sleight of men and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive"
The tendency to drift with the cur
rent in such times is strong. On the
other hand, the Importance of steadfast-
ness and stability in religious faith is
unquestioned and unquestionable He
that Wavereth, that doubteth, hath no
power with God. ''He that wavereth is
like a wave Of the sea driven with the
wind and tossed. Let not that man
think that he shall receive anything Of
the Lord" Strong, real, unquestioned
faith in God is the first essential to
satisfactory, progressive religious life.
To safeguard ourselves against drift
ing is therefore a very important mat
ter. Some directions for doing SO are
suggested in the topical references.
/. knowledge is safeguard against
drifting. Ignorance is the cause Of
much lack of stability. knowledge is
therefore the cure The ignorant, like
children, are easily influenced and easi-
ly deceived by the cunning craftiness
Of men. Christ has therefore appointed
teachers Of His apostles, proph-
cts, evangelists, pastors-for the very
purpose Of the edifying Of the saints
that they may not be imposed upon
and deceived by false teachers. The
regular attendant upon the ministry Of
the word is better safeguarded against
the assaults of the tempter than one
who neglects Gods house. God also
promises us wisdom in answer to
prayer. ''If any man lacketh wisdom,
let him ask of God !" and it shall be
given him. Pray for wisdom to re-
main steadfast in faith.
2. Christlikeness is a safeguard
against drifting. The reception and
practice of Christian truth leads us
''unto the measure of the stature of the
fullness Of Christ and thus we are
safeguarded. The nearer we are to
Christ in thought, word and deed, the
harder it will be to lead us away from
our faith in God, in Him and in a
blessed future life with them.

O, ssDrifting''-Text, Eph. iy,
II; Jns. /, 1-S.

"a double minded man is unstable
In all his ways"
Anchor up. all sails set and no one
at the helm IS risky way to navigate.
Drifting never brings any one into
port. In the religious life as well as in
navigation considerable depends on the
currents which surround one, the winds
Of opinion, the trimming the sails Of
action, the load one carries and many
other items, but the most influential
factor is the, working Of the rudder that
directs the course. The will is to us
what the rudder is to the vessel It de-
termines destiny. 1t decides between
impulses and settles action and fixes
character.
1t needs training to stand at the
wheel and steer ship. No less does it
require discipline for one to hold con-
troll of his will and direct his actions
according to reason and the highest
good.
Many opinions and often conflicting
ones will be met with. Many questions
are of no Importance to us, and we
need to put aside all curiosity about
them and resolutely refuse to waste
time on their consideration. Some
things we must decide. Look over all
the evidence available, balance the
probabilities, choose the most reason
able. Hang to it till more light comes.
Be confident after you have once de-
cided. To be continually doubling or
debating prevents all positive action.
Go ahead with firm grip on the wheel
after you have consulted chart, chro-
nometer and compass and taken your
bearings.
Fewer mistakes are made by conf
dent. strong action than by waverins
indecision.
Indecision is as fatal as wrongdoing.
1t requires nerve to face things and
decide, but it pays.
The sense Of strength and the glow
Of satisfaction which come after one
has studied his duty and, after perplexi-
ty and trial, determined to stop drifting
and sail right pay for all effort.

after he received a letter from one of
his members, who was manager Of q
large concern, saying: After hearing
that sermon he had gone home and,
thinking the matter over, had said to
himself, II am living the life of a
hypocrite. He could not afford to do
it. He sat down and wrote bis employ
ers, resigning his position because their
business was being conducted in man
ner that was injuring his spiritual life
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were
dark days He had no prospects, and to
throw up his position seemed folly, yet
his soul said continually, Better starve

the answer. His employers had careful

nized his value and requested him to
keep his position and conduct their
business in manner consistent with
