Open Doors.

II is interesting to note how often the
word door occurs in the New Testament.
The writer's al seem to have conceived of
everything worth anything as lying over
against us to he entered by door. And
it IS true There are great possessions
awaiting every man. hut each one must be
entered by it's appointed door.
We know at once how true this is when
we think of some of the coromonest oh.
iects of life Thus ones profession must
be entered by the door of long training in
schools and colleges Ones trade must be
entered by the long service of apprentice
shin. The realm of knowledge cannot be
had for the asking, but must be entered
by the door of LONG reading and study.
Now, the same thing is true of tho re-
ligious lie or character. It Is something
TO be entered also bv n door. Here charac-
ter stands over against every man. calling
him to enter into II and possess IL. It is
the one thing on earth worth eptcrinr It
is above and bevord all other things.
Everything also cNi- for character: other
eternal. Now. right over against this
world OF character God has set omen doors.
We have merely to choose to walk through
them.
Thus the church is one door. II is not
primarily place Of men holding some be-
Lief. not primarily n place for preaching
But first of all it is n door-a door from
lower life to higher. from sin TO righteous.
ness. from nOthinoncss 10 character. from
earth 10 heaven. What is the true church?
Not the church that believes this or be-
lieves that. but the church that is n door
for souls to pass over into the life Of
Christ and the consciousness of God. is
the true church
The teacher ought to make the Sunday.
school such door-a door through which
youth passes over into manhood Of nur.
ity and purpose, and a knowledge of God's
WAYS
Duty is door. Obedience leads over
into KNOWLEDGE. Duty leads over into God
It is one of the doors God opens TO every
humhlest man. Every opportunity of ser.
vice for doing n kind deed is door. God
pity the man that passes by duties and OPP.
portunltes; he Is passing by doors that
omen right into the heavenly villas
Not once or twice in our fair island story
The path of duty was the way to glory;
lie, that ever following her commands.
On with toll of hearts and knees and
hands,
ThrO' the long gorge to the far light has
won
His path upward and prevaipd,
snail ma the topping crags OF duty
Are close upon the shining table lands
10 which our God Himself is moon and
sun"
And then there is the door, greater than
az others. over into righteousness. Jesus
Himself. He once sand: II am the door"
again Tie said II am the way" Yes.
His life Is the lie that leads over into
character and heaven. His truth sets us
free. His faith opens the gates of invisi.
BILE things. His love is the door over into
the world of largeness and joy Service
done IN His name is the door to God Him.
