THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
READING FOR THE QUIET HOUR
WHEN THE SOUL INVITES ITSELF.

Poem; Dwell Deep with the Breaking Of
the Sabbath Has Come n Decline In
the Joy of Attending Divine Worship
Passing of the Quiet Lord's Day.
Dwell deep, o my soul, in the love-depths
divine;
In the depths of Gods love there is
peace.
Dwell deep, hour by hour, where Gods
fulness is thine;
From all care, in the depths, is release.
Dwell deep far below the wild rage of
the gale,
Far beneath the onrush of the wave.
Dwell deep, in the calm, where no blast
can assail,
From all strife, in the depths, He doth
save.
Dwell deep, where no foeman can ever
draw nigh.
Far removed from all danger and fear;
Dwell deep in His love; to thy safe ref
uge fly,
Where His hand wipes away every tear.
Dwell deep, o my soul; in the depths,
deeper yet,
Where with thee Tie communeth alone:
Dwell deep; all thy pain and thy anguish

In the love-rest He gives to "His Own

PRAYER becomes necessity when we
know what Gods love for us means. To
read the story, as the Bible tells it, of
the love which made the world and man,
and of the love which sent God to live and
die on earth for us; to go over the years of
living and see how goodness and mercy
have followed all the days; to pick out
the blessings till they grow into glowing
clouds always hovering over the human
experience-these show the divine love so
nightly that one cannot keep away from
the contemplation And so the human
love grows until it reaches God, and bows
at His feet, and presses its littleness into
the very vastness of His nature, and draws
its breath from the very presence of Him
who is Himself love! Prayer-why we
cannot help loving then! The very life
is prayer, a cinging, delighted gazing
into Face which knows no turning,
holding to the Hand which never loosens
its grasp, a speaking to a Father whose
one great desire is the child's happiness.
Every act of ours, every need, every
pleasure, every pain is as much Gods as
ours, and we know it, and knowing it as
we go to Him as the child to its mother,
as the bird to its nest, as the withered
flower to the moisture which falls and
kisses its upturned hungry face. Granted
a God and all else follows. His love for
us, our love for Him, presupposes prayer
as necessity.-Floyd Tompkins.

October 5.-Resume Of Progress Of Metho-
dists Missions-Psa. lis. l.3.

Methodism was born in q revival of
apostolic zeal and spirit, and neces-
sarily Is missionary. The genius of
Christianity is missionary work. God
had but one Son, and he was a mis-
sionary." The early disciples of
Christ went everywhere preaching the
new faith. Paul was foreign mis-
sionary." The medieval church was
missionary. Our Anglo-Saxon race is
the result of Christian missions. Early
Methodism in both England and Amer.
lea was intensely missionary. The
Methodist church was little else for
long time except missionary society.
America has been largely evangelical
by Methodism because 1t was. and is,
q missionary force. Methodism could
not have been but for the spirit and
work of missions.
The church had been organized In
the United States for nearly forty
years before this spirit was incar-
mated into an organized effort to
evangellze the world. Our Missionary
Society was organized in 1919, almost
simultaneously with the American
Board. For eighty-three years it has
made an honorable and inspiring rec
ord Its collections have increased
from SS2304 in 1919 to almost $780,
900 in 1901.
In our home field nearly one-half Of
our missionary money, and more than
half OF our workers, are within our
own land. Our Home Missions. ad-
ministered by the Missionary Society,
are divided into four general divisions.
l. Missionary work in the Conferences
in the North, including the mountain
districts and the Pacific coast. 2.
Missionary work, both white and col
ored, in the South. 3. Non-English-
speaking. including American Indians.

About $475,000 is spent annually in
this field.

any earthly good, so that there will
