his seat. and soon the most wonderful
music was breaking forth from the or

The acceptance of Christian power
from the Lord and the exercise OF it in
the practical relations of home, of the
church. of society and business. will
take away the hardness of life. the
wear and friction and pain. In the
home it viii make heaven; in the
church it will increase the power of
worship and usefulness a hundredfold;
in business it will relieve the weari-
ness and burden. The hard things Of
life will be softened; the evil things
and unkind things will lose their pow
er to hurt. In every relation of life
love will bring peace.
This Is the browning privilege of a
Christian disciple 1t is given to him
to be a power in the world for good
and to live in love and peace through
the grace and mercy of the Lord. This
more than all else must be felt by the
world at large: it must be felt by the
stranger and the children. and all will
know the blessedness of Christian dis
cipleship. The light will so shine that
it cannot be hid.-Rev. William l..
