Thoughts on the Tonic.

Christianity is intensely practical Some
regard it as a mystery, a theory, some
thing to be thought and dreamed of only.
It is, rather, real, vital 1t is not abstract,
but living truth. It is no longer Chris
tianity if it be separated from life To
separate the truth from character and
life is like separating soul from body.
Paul's call to conservation was prac-
teal. We are not asked to dedicate some
thing of difficult attainment, something
that We would have to strive to get, but
our ourselves Not only our
thoughts, our spiritual faculties, are
asked for. but our bodies.
Practical conservation OF the body, such
as Paul asked, means the most careful
preservation of the body rather than the
neglect and abuse of it Nor is it useless
If II be conseereated to His service. The
sick man can do little beyond being pa
tient. Those who are well and strong can
do best service. We sin when we neglect
to care for the bodies the Lord has given
for His own service. Let US keep them in
health and strength, a worthy gift to
our Lord, and then let US truly consecrate
them TO His service
We are to conseCrate ourselves to q
living. not dead. service. This. also, is
practical We are not to go into a cell
to live or to wear ugls and mean clothes
10 disdgure the form and face the Creator
has given US. But ali His gifts are to
be consecreated in a living way. If We
have social influence II is to be exerted
to win men to His church If we have
riches it is to send the messengers Of the
gospel TO far-away lands and to support
them there Every gift may be used in a
living way for the living. This is prac-
teal conservation
4 gentleman once said to an unbeliever,
Il do not see how you can ever find re-
pose IN the desperate estate of skepti-
cism- The infdel replied, y am as
greatly mystif1ed at the Indifference of
you Christians TO your heavenly calling
II 1 believed what you profess, no sacTi-
fee, no labor, no gifts would seem
enough" Thus the world pretty accurate
" gauges the amount Of our faith by the
degree Of our conservation

which is your spiritual service.
2 And be not fashioned according to this
world; but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is the good and acceptable and per
feet vii Of God.
8 For I say, through the grace that was
given me, 10 every man that is among you.
not to think of himself more highly than
he ought to think; but so to think as to
think soberly. according as God has hath
dealt to each mar q measure of faith.
4 For even as we have many members
in one body, and all the members have not
the same office;
3 So We. who are many, are one body
IN Christ, and severally members one of
another
And having gifts differing according to
the grace that was given to US, whether

our ministry OF he that teacheth TO his
teaching;
6 Or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting;
he that giveth, let him do 1t with liberal
ity; he that TuIeth, with diligence; he that
showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.
