ity Of tenderness. IS that of q mother.
She was the first to love her child be-
gotten of her life. The joy of behold
ing it and nOurishing it made her forget
the agony and suffering of the past. Her
love for it was pure. tender and self
sacrificing. She gave herself to her
child. To make It smile and to receive
its caresses awoke her love to ecstasy,
and yet she was more delighted TO give
than 10 receive For one kiss or caress
she gave thousand in return. Her love
cannot fail. When others forsake her
children she clings to them. When 9TH
ers despise them she still elings aud
hopes. But God says: LAS one whom her
mother comforteth. so will comfort

when you fail TO love him. Open the door
of your heart. Christ has sought fol
every chance TO enter in. He earnestly
woos you. He wore the crown of thorns
that you might be crowned. His hands
were pierced, and from his side flowed
the last drop of his blood for you. His
words, his deeds. his crown are all love.
and ask you to submit TO his gentle
and perfect reign.

THE FIRST IN ANTIOCH"
BY Rev. o. p. SpiegeI

There is some honor in being the orig
inator of any good thing. The world is
full Of followers, hangers On. but there
are few leaders. There are plenty OF or
binary men and women, but too few eX-
traordinary. Not only is there honor, but
there is great responsibility in starting
something new or unusual.
Many Of the things which are to-day
the distinguishing crown and glory of
Christianity were fast in Antioch. There
hovcrs about Antioch such Il halo of New
Testament church history as hovers
about no other city in the world, except,
perhaps. Jerusalem, and it is doubtful il
Jerusalem itself has the glory of being
the site of so many important transac-
tions during the infancy of the Church
Of Christ. Let us note but few of
them:
/. The Gospel was first preached TO
idolators in Antioch.-Acts XII. 1921.
, Antioch was the first church to aid
a sister congregation in need.-Acts XII,
1870.
B Paurs apostleship began from An
l.och.-Acts xiii, 1-3.
4 The first foreign missionaries ever
sent out by church were sent from
Antioch. xiii. IA.
). Antioch was the first church that
ever assembled TO hear reports from re-
turned Observation-Disclosures xiv. 2G-2S.
q. The true relation between Christ
and His disciples was discovered in An
tioch.-Galatians H.. 1l-21
Z. Antioch was the first congre alton
to submit a misunderstanding among its
members to peaceful arbitration of disin-
tercsted brethren.-Acts XIV 1-6

A Curious Tin.

A certain little Flemish watering
place. which is much frequented by
English and American visitors in the
summer, possesses two attractions in
the shape of a Presbyterian place of
worship and a roulette table. One of
the faithful" had quite recently a
most ingenious idea. says the London
Times After the number of the hymn
succeeding the sermon was given he
stole away, made his way to the table,
and invested all he was worth on the
number of the hymn. Needless TO say
the number turned up. and the lucky
coup became the talk of the village for
the rest of the week. Next Sunday
the church was crammed to the door.
Tue pious pastor was rejoicel in heart.
After Il powerful address he gave out
Hymn No. ~" The moment the
words left his lips. to his consterna-
ton there was rush to the door, and
he was left with a faithful handful to
unraise their agitated strain of praise.
AS for the rest, they made bee line
from the house Of prayer to the house
of play. We are happy to relate that
their little adventure cost them very

THE GRACE OF GIVING.
BY Rev. H. Atwood PcrciVaL

IpOn the first day of the week let ey-
cry one of you lay by him in store as God
hath prospered him-New Testament.
Some people sing and pray for the mil
lennial dawn who don't give a mill for
its coming. They profess deep inter
est in missions. and yet keep their money
out M interest, My friends, the chariot
wheels of the blessed good to be" are
made of consecrated dollars.
God has blessed MS as Il people with
great abundance, and yet we waste more
than enough to feed the starving millions
of india. and millions more are worse
than wasted. Why, every year the Unit
cd States pays twice as much for corsets
to squeeze the life out of folks as can be
squeezed out for home missions.
Frequently we hear it said: IF | were
as rich as So and So. how | would give;
would use my wealth in doing good; 1
would send forth streams of benevolence
to bless the church and world" But all
such talk is dry rot; it amounts to nil.
TO have 4 large increase Of wealth. with
out the outgo of benevolence being also
largely increased, creates a grasping de-
sire for more.
| know a man of vast wealth. and there
is just himself and wife. and he is three
score years and FIVE. and yet when solic-
tied for his pew rent VIII plead poverty,
and say that his ancestors lived to great
age. and therefore he might live TO be
very old. and so needs all he has. Yes,
and i'm his dreams. he has told me. he has
had visions of being ''carted over the
hills to the poorhouse" That state of
feeling was produced by a most natural
process; his mind was given up TO the
passion of accommodating without the
counter process of distributing. And now
that mans soul is so small that Won
could take--to use the words of another
the little end of nothing and whittle
it down to a fine point, and with it punch
out the pith of an invisible hair, and
draw that mans soul through the hole. .
Liberality is a Christian grace. Ii
needs as much cultivation as the other
graces. The freedom of the New Tesla
ment dispensation should bring an in
crease of cheerful giving. Every dictate
of reason teaches it, and the cause of our
divine Redeemer requires it.
