April Walking With Jesus" Col. H.,
6.7; Gal. ", 1870.

II Is recorded that after the resurrcc-
tlon two of the disciples who did not
know that their Lord had risen were
OH their way TO Emmaus, a small viii
lage near Jerusalcm. While they
were on their journey Jesus himself
drew near and went with them. But
they did not know IL was the Lord.
Their eyes were not opened to discern
him. Thus il is with many il not with
most of us. Christ appears, but we
do not see him. He comes TO walk
with us. His promise is that he Will
never leave us but will go with us
through the whole journey. however
lonely or rugged the way.
The Christian life may well be rep
resented as II walking with Jesus. And
we may assure ourselves that if we
belong to Christ we shall walk with
him. His was n life of constant ac-
tivity. We remember his saying to
the wise men in the temple, Il must
be about my Fathers business" Dur
ing his whole life his only thought was
how he might help to bring In the
kingdom of God. In walking with
Jesus we should understand that we
must have his purpose to save men
and be filed with his spirit. Other
wise our activity will degenerate into
mere fussiness, aud that nervous
scurrying about which always does
more harm than good.
1t seems to be the thought of the
apostle that if we wall; with Jesus we
shall be "rooted ami built up in him
and established In thc fSith." In the
reference from Galatians, Paul, in
stead of eXhortinG us 20 wall; with
Christ, says, 'Walk Ia the Spirit" OF
course to walk with the Spirit is to
walk with Christ
The best evidence anyone can have
that he is walking win Chris. is that
| his life is n positive one. IT Is not
enough not to do wrong. We must
| in order not TO do wrong. 10 what Is
good
The evidence then that we are walk
| ing with Christ, or walking in the
| Spirit Is that we daily experience the
overcoming life. We are doing such
positive good that we have neither the
| time nor the l"clnatioI to do evil.
| This reminds MS again o: the saying
of Jesus, by thcir fruits Sc shall

Ing life. but gradually We begin 10 see
and to experience the Fruit OF that life
1t is life Of growing JOY and of peace
We not only have the power to give
up things that are not for us. but we
part with them without pang. The
rond that was once so rugged Is be
ginning to reveal strange beauties.

There are tricks even in our trade"
said the old life-insurance man. "About
ten years ago couple of respectable
old parties, man and wife, came to
town with 100000 or so that they
wanted to put into an annuity. They
had neither chick nor child, kith nor
kin. and they wanted to finish their
lives in as much ease and comfort as
could be bought SO they made the
rounds of the life-insurance compan-
les, getting their annuity figures and
had all the actuaries in town making
calculations in the case.
"The head mathematician of the
Blank Dash Company was n little bet
ter than a mere flgurer. He happened
to hear what town the old parties came
from. ana he suddenly remembered
that he had an old friend. doctor.

him really good decent time. Then
he edged around to the annuity hunt

pearing to pump him, the actuary

bought their annuity of his concern.
They were both dead inside of two
years. l forgot just how much the

TO be u public representative of
Christianity is n mockery and hypoc-
risy unless it is accompanied with
growing faith in Jesus and fellowship
with him. Those who teach must
not only have learned, but they must
go on learning. The power of public
testimony depends on intimacy with
Jesus in secret.
We sometimes seem to forget that
true nearness to God is u moral and
spiritual nearness. There We're

Growth of ssw1re Houses

There are 500 telephones on the floor
of the exchange, each in charge of a
boy, who receives orders from his office
and transmits them to the floor broker
for execution. In every brokers' office
there are from one to ten telephones,
and many brokers rarely see their
clients, who telephone orders from up
town offices, homes or out of town. In
recent years there has been an enor-
nous growth of what are known as
''wire houses" There are New York,
Chicago and Boston firms which lease
private wires connecting with many of
the leading cities east of Denver No

private advices are that it is the hard.
est kind of work. However, it is an
independent career and the toiler who
is willing to pay the price may have a
large, cleared tract of fertile soil to
show for his years of effort. The new
editor of the Oshkosh Northwestern is
very sanguine:
The young man who has pluck and
grit can easily get start, and in few
years if he observes the ordinary rules
of industry, sobriety and economy, he
will find himself practically independ-
ent. And if he knows an honest, am
bilious young waman who is not afraid
of work and is willing to share his lot,
his success will be the more certain
and speedy. There may be other forms
of success for the man who has the
ability and is willing to work and wait,
but nothing can bring more happiness
and contentment than a modest little
home with loving wife, and honest
employment that will return a good
