SOME BETTER THING.


Some better thing 10 is Gods way
OF giving to His children. Every day
We crave for things against His will.
He giveth not the things We ask
But in their stead things better STILL
The types and shadows OF the past
Were by the substance far surpassed.
The glories OF the ages gone
Were but the twilight OF the rising sun.
So all OF life a progress is
To higher life and purer bliss.
The flower fades. the fruit appears.
The freshness and the bloom OF youth
Are followed by the riper years
Each stage OF life but brings the soul.
Some nearer to the final goal.
And death itself is but the door
To glorious things that lie before.
Through all the years with all they bring
God ever gives some better thing

CRUMBLING CHARACTERS.
Goes On Until Lies story IL Read
In the Ruin That Follows.

Our growth is by Titles. and so is
our decay. We do not overcome in
one great effort, but in a constant en-
deayor, lasting Through the years Of
I life. We are not often oVerthrown
by sudden wind of trial. unless we
have weakened our souls by yielding
/ 10 the power of evil i'm a thousand
small temptations When storm
wind sweeps over the forest. il is the
weakest trees that fall. Character
grows or crumbles; and God helps the
growth as He permits OF the de-
cline.
Every age, every unfaithful church.
every careless disciple needs a Nathan
to point out sin and say: Thou art
the man. Community of life and So
cial service. which the Christian
thought of the time exalts can never
be allowed to obscure the need of in
dividual growth in holiness. The an

moistening and kneading it until it
was of an even consistency. lIut the
prophet denounces those vino build
with dry clay (untempered mortarl.
which crumbles from between the
stones. leaving them ready to fail at
the first unusual strain.
1t is by neglects, and often small
neglects, that the crumbling of char
acter usually begins. Omissions
opened the way for commissions"
The ordinary duties of study. prayer
and worship are not mere arbitrary
requirements; they are practice
ground for the attainment Of strength.
Mere neglect of thought hinders many
a mans growth and helpfulness. His
is a kind heart, but seldom thinks TO
bring his Kindness 10 the 'front.' and
watch for opportunities OF putting il
in exercise. He believes in the power
of prayer. but his petitions are selfish
and perfunctory, mere creatures of an
old routine of habit. lie neglects TO
give charity, reverence, faith fore
most place in his mental activities. and
the unnOticed deterioration Of his
character shows at last that they have
no real place at ALL The sap of vital
strength has run down out Of the
branches. and the first strong wind
shows the weakness of the tree.
1t is a sad but hopeful awakening
when the crumbling character through
sins of neglect and sins of evil choice
is recognized. For truth is best. even
though il breaks our pride and drives
MS from our heights of self-satisfac-
tion to take the lowest place The
dry clay must be picked from the wall
the crumbled blocks thrown down,
and we must build again from the one
foundation. Then the words Of the
Psalm are sweet: "lIe restOreth my
SOUL He leadeth me in the paths OF
righteousness for His names sake
Let the thought of God be brought to
the front and kept there in all the du-
ties and enjoyments of life. Let the
motive for service be the constrain-
ing love Of Christ. Let self. so far as
possible. be forgotten in the thought
of Gods fatherhood and the brother
hood of man, and character will build
itself again in Christlike strength. The
vision OF a passive holiness belongs 10
far-off ages and unchristian faiths.
Christ's disciples attain to power and
symmetry of character in action
