About thy toilsome, rugged path,

And winter gales by airs 81 balm
Dark night gives place to sunbright day;
Let hope still cheer thee on thy way.
Beyond the cloud still shines the sun;

And thou hast faltered in the strife

Though great thy grief and keen thy pain.

Topic For the Week BEGINNING Feb.
17-Comment by Rev. 5. II. Doyle.
Toric.--gonlessing Christ. K. $3.50
These words We're spoken by Christ
20 the twelve apostles as He was about
10 send them forth upon a prolonged
missionary tour. They were going out
tnto the world to confess Him before
men and to influence others, II possible,
alse to confess Him. They would meet
with difficulties. obstacles and dan
gers. They went forth as sheep In
the midst Of wolves" They were ito
be hated Of all men" Prosecuted in
one city. they were to flee to another.
They were to risk their lives by going
among those who were able TO destroy
the body. With such prospect before
them they had great need of encour-
agement, and Christ did encourage
them. and not the least of these encour-
agements is to be found in the promise
that confession of Him here meant
confession by Him in heaven. They
would also be stimulated by the warn
ing that denial Of Him here would re-
suit In His denial of them before His
Fathers throne.
COMPOSING CHRIST
'fwhosoever. therefore. shall confess
Me before aen. him will confess also
before my Father which is in heaven"
Confession Of Christ presupposes faith
in Christ To confess and not to be-
lieye awaits nothing This is the dan
ger Of our day. Christianity Is popu-
lar today In our land. There is little
danger of persecution in the confession
of Christ The danger is that we ma.
confess Him and not be His. But {
His, IL we do believe in Him, If we
have conseerated our lives to Him.
then nothing should interfere with our
confession of this fact before the world.
No fear, no timidity, no idea of unfit
ness, should stand in the way of our
confessing Christ. We should let the
world know where we stand. We should
take our place among the people of
God and use our influence TO lead 9th
ers to accept and to confess Him. Then
before His Fathers throne in heaven
He will confess that we are His.
DENYING CHRIST.
'sWhosoever shall deny me before
men. him will | also deny before My
Father which is In heaven" This warn
ing was net out of place to Christ's
apostles They were In the midst of
great dangers. They were surrounded
by furious enemies. The temptations
TO deny Him would be many, and they
needed to know the results of denying
Him as well as the results of confess
ing Him. If denial ON account of fear
produced such undesirable results, how
much more certain would denial be-
cause of upbelief produce the same and
even more serious results. II is uEbe-
lief today. and not fear, that leads men
to deny Christ and to neglect Christ
But unbeIief win not excuse us. We
should believe. God has given us in
fallible proofs of Christ's character and
work. and woe to us If we do not be-
Iieve and do not confess. Christ will
deny US before His Father and eternal
separation from God win result.
THE PRAYER MEETING.
Have an evangelistic meeting. gi-ing
an opportunity to confess Christ.
