Rev G. T.. Cate, pastor Of the Roger

last evening. and his subject was"What

substance that conditions change in
many things. Nineteen hundred years
have brought strange differences in
customs. i'm speaking. i'm forms OF
thoughe and all that, but, after all, the
human heart remains the same. Christ
and God remain unchanged. and the
service OF God yields the same certain
return today that IT did when the apos.
ties served Him I'm the beginning.
What is il that rewards men and
women for this constant effort made by
every loyal Christian servant? What
compensates for the added burden and
costs If you undertake this service? In
the first place the results are reflex.
Everything he does in honesty and love
for Jesus Christ is gathered up into his
character and becomes a part OF his
life IL there was nothing else. there is

sponsibility needs tc put his shoulder

the New England hearth fires were
kept in the old days. The father raked
together the live Goals and covered
them with the ashes. They were bank
ed for the Night. They would not stay
banked for week: banked fires burn
out. SO IL is in our lives; we need the
assurances that we are the servants OF
God. How shall j know? How shall I

a Christian? Being i'm good fellowship.

The stock arguments for the excessive

and hitting it harder because others are
experts at dodging, savors too strongly oi

other, that the vaults Of our savings

from taxes, Is nearly as difficult to con-
slider with % tisncs. eliminate from the
largest deposits thoss made during tbs

That Lord Rohsrts should have met
with q cordial Ieception at Blosmfontein
10 not so strange as 1t first appears. The
war in South Africa Is not the Free
Statsrs' war. They had NO grievance
against England. and had had no con-
trovsrsy with her, but they had treaty
with the TransvAal which bound them
to become allies Of tie latter when ttey

Others cause is quite different from
fighting for ores own, even II the caus'
be deemed Just one. There have been
rumors all along Of disAffsotlon on the
part OF ths Free State troops and desire
to return home, showing that neither
they nor their people had much heart In
the contest. The British occupation oi
Bloemfoutein means to its residents that
they are to esoare further drains on their
money and their lives 10 support the
Transvaalers' war, and they find in 1t,
therefore, reason for satisfaction.
