Topic For the week Beeinning Oct.

to Work,-Text, john xxi, 1-S.


s1Cast the net on the right sideof the
ship, and ye shall find. ]"
BY the lake OF Galilee, in the mists
and dim light of early morning. Jesus
halls the fishermen who have worked
all night without snccess and now.
tired and hungry from toll, are break
fastless.
AT his suggestion they make one
more cast OF the net and inclose great
school OF fish. The point Of value in
this lesson is not the question Of Jesus
knowledge or Of His power, not the
matter OF miracle or natural course OF
events, but rather the spirit of readiness
to receive suggestions and to work
however and wherever there Is prospect
Of results.
Dizziness and apathy In personal ex-
perience and in the life Of church or
chapter Is not usually because Of no field
Of work at hand nor the lack Of work
ers, but most usually comes from in
difference and obstinacy. Some fish
may be caught by accident by listless
fisherman, but usually it needs one who
is alert to know their haunts and habits
to make much success.
It is no easier to catch men than fish.
Many of them are wary creatures,
easily scared at the mention Of religious
topics. They need to be sought as skill
fully as brook trout are hunted by the
true sportsman. Oftentimes when ev.
cry device has been used and all re-
sources Of labor and ingenuity exhaust
ed and fishing time seems over and the
workers all worn ont, then comes the
great haul, and a multitude Of great
fishes is inclosed and safely landed and
the net not torn.
It will ever be 80. Strive with what
ever ekiIl we may, there will still be
long nights of taking absolutely moth
ing. But there are fish still uncaught,
and they will swarm somewhere. II we
are alert instead of disheartened, the
Master will be heard as He halls from
the shore. One more cast, made as he
directs, then fish in abundance and a
morning feast in His presence.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

copfc For the Week RcginnIng Oct.
S-Comment b. Rev. 6. II. Doyle.
roPIc-Work where Christ tells you to.-John
sd. 1-6.
The topic is illustrated in the topical
reference by an incident in theslife Of
Christ after His resurrection. It Is the
appearance of Christ to the seven dis
ciples on the Galilean sea. where they
had been fishing an entire night with
out success. Jesus appeared in the morn
ing. He said TO them. "Cast the net on
the right side Of the ship. and ye shall
fnd." They cast, therefore, and now
they were not able to draw it for the
multitude of fishes. Here is an illustra-
tion of working where Christ said to
work, and the result.
Where shall we work as Christiansf Z
What ehall we do for Christi Shall we
preach the gospelf Shall we become
foreign missionaries, or shall we stay in
the home church, and, if so, what shall
we consider our special duty and mis-
SIGN theref These are questions that
often confront Christian people, nor are
they always answered. Our topic gives
us a safe principle to follow-work
where Christ tells you to.
For many reasons we should work
where Christ tells us to.
1. Because il is our duty. 1t is for
Christ to command ard for rs to obey.
He is our leader, our Captain, and the
nest important duty of the soldier is to
obey the commands Of his superior off,
Ger.
Q. Obedience to Christ is test Of
our love for Christ Christ Himself said,
"If ye love Me, keep My command
meDts." ''If we love Christ, we are to
show it doing what He wants US TO do.
Christ knows best where the work
should be done and what we are capa-
BILE of doing. The officer always has q
wider vision than the private. His op-
portunities for superior knowledge are
greater. Christ.s vision is greater than
ours The disciples had failed. When
they did what He told them to do. they
succeeded beyond all expectations. Sac
cess. therefore. depends upon obedience
to Christ.
But how may we knew where Christ
wants as to workf He cannot tell MS,
as He did His disciples of old. and yet he
does give us leadings in the matter.
/. Ability should assist us to decide.
If Christ has not given us ability to do
a certain kind Of work. we may rest
assured that He does not want rs to do
it. 2. Opportunity should be looked
upon us command from Christ. Chris
tian opportunity Is Christian duty. The
helplessness and need of the man who
had fallen among thieves were COM
nand of Christ to those who passed by
Him. 8. The study of Gods word will
assist us in deciding when Christ wants
us to work and what He wants as to do.
Let us do our best to discover where
Christ wants us to work, and then let
us do His work. "Where duty calls or
danger. be never wanting there, :"

Pleasing others.

The best rule is to take people as you
find them and make the most Of your op-
portunity to please them in some sort Of
fashion. There are go many ways to ac-
complish this--by attentions. thought
full suggestions. pious undertakings, all
Of which being saturated with the milk
Of human kindness cannot fail of bring
ing result which win be satisfactory.
When We learn TO live to please others.
we shall reap the largest harvest Of
pleasure for ourselves by initiating our
Lord and Master, who went about do
ing good to the souls and bodies Of men.

THE LAWTON TESTIMONIAL.
Action of G.. A. r.. Post Ma
fI0nal Bank Is Trustee of the Fund.

At the time the State Encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic passed a reso-
luton expressing the pride and gratifca-
ton of that body in the achievements OF
Gen. Henry W. Lawton, as a native of In
diana. Ii was suggested that money be
raised to procure a suitable testimonial to
be presented TO him. General Lawton is a
member Of Sion S. Bass Post. No. 40. OF
Fort Wayne. so that it was proper that that
organization should take the initiative. AS
the regulations Of the Grand Army forbid
any post sending out circulars to other posts
for the collection of money for any pur-
pose. the officers Of Bass Post requested Of
Department Commander Dunlap authority
20 issue a circular requesting contributions.
The department has not only granted that
post the necessary authority. but has warm
~ urged the organization in this State to
respond to it. The circular will be sent out
by the committee of the Fort Wayne post
in a few days. 1t has already selected a
committee TO take charge of the contribu-
lions. and announces that the White Ma
tional Bank Of Fort Wayne, Ind, has been
selected to receive all funds and to act as
trustee of the money. The indications are
that a liberal amount will soon be In the
hands of the committee. Any one who
wishes TO contribute should send his offering
TO the bank, which will account for the
same is, individuals as well as Grand
Army posts should feel free to contrib
ute. The Journal has contributed $40,
which is as much as any single contribution
should be. in order that a large number
may share in bestowing this honor. General
Lawton has endeared himself TO the people
of his native State because he has been a
faithful soldier since he enlisted in an In
diana regiment in 1861. and in the war in
Cuba and the Philippines has displayed the
highest qualities of leadership and that per-
sonal gallantry which calls forth the ad-
miration of patriotic people.

some does the fact make iself known. If all
the possibilities of this subconscious self

make human life a perpetual melodrama.
Iheaters would not prosper. because every
man would be playing a drama that might
at any instant deepen into tragedy.
This dual personality must not be con-
founded with that change of self that is a

Strictly defined, double personality is the
manifestation of qualities utterly contra

individual. The manifestation of this ouaI-
iity varies from those changes of DISPOSE

palmetto, to-day cold, repellant. unlovely;
to that complete alteration that makes the
one personality utterly dead to and uncon-
scious of the existence of the other.
Il knew a man who was an eloquent
speaker on religious topics. He would talk
IKE an angel on Sunday and cheat his most
intimate friends or Monday. 1 used to
wonder which was the real self. the speaker
at the prayer meeting or the unscrIpulous
financier. Both seemed to be real. The
world says such a man was a hypocrite. /
doubt it; Is it not rather that both men
were real, both equally genuine?
"Brown-Sequard. the famous French ply
biologist, says that each of the two hemi-
spheres of the brain is capable of solitary
individual action; that as we can walk
with one foot. write with one hand, breathe
with one lung, see with one eye. we can
likewise think will one brain lobe. This
was the first theory advanced. and for many
years 1t held the field, rather because no
one had any other to advance against IL
than because it was deemed satisfactory.
My theory is that beneath the conscious
intelligence that everyday personality is
the subconscious, subliminal one. the res

of memories that have come and gone, deep
that soundeth unto deep. This Will schol-
ars is the favorite theory to-day"
