For May 8: How Christians Grow
Mark fv, 1920.

No one ever saw a stationary Christian. 1t is
uphill or down, grow or die. II you not
getting nearer to Christ daily you are drifting
farther away from Him. II you not adding
to your store Of Bible knowledge you losing
your hold on the book. II prayer is not becom-
ing more of delight to you 1T is becoming more
of bore. You cannot serve God and mammon
and you must serve of them. Whoever is
not for Christ is against Him. II you are serv-
ing Christ you cannot help growing into the
measure Of His stature If you serving the
devil you cannot help dwarfng yourself down to
his littleness.
How do Christians grow? Just as an oak
grows. They must have good soil, air. rain sun.
The soil is the church. and all its Strengthening
influences. The air is the spirit Of prayer. pen
etrating every act The rain is the contact with
the world. which puts all good things in fux.
bringing them to the plant. The sun is the
sparkle and warmth Of joy, which Christ be-
slows on all His servants.
How do Christians grow? Slowly, as a plant
grows. The kingdom cometh net with observa-
ton. certainly not the kingdom OF God which is
within us. Do not be discouraged IL to-day you
are only little stronger than yesterday IL the
buds and leaves Of character are tardy in bring
ing forth flowers and fruit. The plant that
springs UP in few minutes under the spell OF
an eastern magician withers quite as rapidly.
the longest old age.
How do Christians grow? Orderly as a plant
grows First the blade, then the ear then the
fuli corn in the ear. Not the full corn first OF
second. Do not expect to find upon young shout
ders the graces and wisdom of age Do not ex-
pect our Christian Endeavor societies to accom-
piish what the church herself has not accom-
plished. And in your own private life do not be
discouraged because you cannot yet do the work
and win the rewards that are possible only for
Christian experiences twice extended as yours
has BEEN All in Gods season. II you keep on
growing
And how to keep on growing? Here we part
company with the inert plant. passively re-
ceptive of what nature carries to IT, Grow as a
boy grows by exercise. Press your muscles
against Obstacles Bend your back to burdens
A Christian that never does for Christ what is
hard to do will soon cease to be able to do any
thing for Him. Christian that never gives
till it hurts will get gift of growth from God
A Christian that does not lose his life will not
find 1t. But the man that humbly and trust
fully does what Christ would like to have him
do rejoicing In hardsh;ps and eager for any
toll that pleases Christ, will find all the forces
OF Omnipotence drawing him outward ana up-
ward into the largest and happiest spheres OF

Colonel Charles Marshall. who was
aid-de-camp to General Robert F..
Lee and who went through the battles
of the war with his chief. told the fol-
lowing amusing story Of his experience
with new horse: His old horse had
been shot from under him In the fight
of the previous day, and he had taken
possession of an animal that seemed
to suit the work. In the battle a few
hours later he was riding across field
In which there were numerous stumps.
Suddenly the performance opened.
The guns roared and the air was filled
with smoke and noise. Before Colonel
Marshall knew what was happening
the horse had his four feet on one OF
the stumps and was gayly dancing In
a circle. In the mean time the firing
was increasing, and the situation was
anything but comfortable, but the
horse kept on as II he were enjoying It,
ut was not until afterward." said
Colonel Marshall, that | found the
horse had belonged to circus and had
been trained to do this act amid the
firing of cannon"
