March 30-Ths Risen Life, Chrlst's Ours

Next to the death OF Christ itself
the resurrection was considered by
the apostles the greatest fact in Chris.
tianity. What Paul makes so much o.
there again and again recurs through
out his epistles always to be em.
phasized as an event of supreme I'M
portance. How encouraging to think
that the rise and fall of Gods king.
dom is not left entirely to our falter-
ing faith and fickle service! The an
gel of his presence is always ahead,
beckoning us on. 1t is sympathetic,
comforting, inspiring. 1t proclalms
light out of darkness. joy in sorrow,
hope in despair, and urges to a great
forward movement out of a seeming
collapse of the kingdom. Thus the
resurrection became the great watch
word of the Church and the most won
derful sympol of the power of God, of
the Transforming nature of his grace.
and of the Christians certain victory.
In the Colossian epistle Paul uses it
as the most fitting illustration of tho
new life in Jesus. In chapters l and
he shows that when his readers be-

they died with hint ii, 20). were bur-

were severed from their old life of
sin (ii III, and were set in the path
OF holiness Il, 22). Being thus dead
and risen again with Christ, the only

-. The present developing life OF the
Christian in union with the hidden
Christ is the type and the pledge of
the future consummate flower of the
Christian life. in union with the glor.
ious manifested Saviour.
Paul, the apostle. believed that
when a man exercises saving faith in
Jesus he is Joined to him in such a
way that he is separated from his
former self and made dead to the
world. Considered with reference TO
what man has ceased to be, the
change may be called death. He kills
off uncleanness. anger, passion, filthy
desire, covetousness malice, lazines5
and all such; he closes up every means
of his soul sinward. Considered In
the light of what the man becomes,
1t Is resurrection. 1t is a new life in
which he puts on all noble and God
like qualities and becomes like Christ.
There is an importation OF life by
union with Christ, which is not inaptly
compared to q resurrection, and this
life is hidden with Christ in God.
Above the mere bodily or intellectual
life there Is spiritual or emotional
living in which the soul is conscious
of God and touches him by aspiration.
faith and love. This is the loftiest
life.

Three Evil PRACTICES.

In behalf of temperance there are some
simple things which may be advocated with
good results. Practical business men gen.
orally agree that a large part of all the
evils of drunkenness are caused by three
practices, namely. drinking at bars, drink
ing in business hours and the habit of
treating 1t is generally agreed by COM
mercial travellers, and all who in. active life
see human nature at all angles, that more
temptation comes out of these three prac-
tices than from any other source. Treat
ing especially, is responsible for many
evils. 1t not only leads to drinking in bar
rooms and in business hours, but it is al
most the sole cause of the excess which,
praetced indefinitely, finally becomes a
habit always difficult to overcome, some
times impossible. Business men are more
and more coming to the decision that
drinking in business hours must be abol-
ished. BY and by they will go further and
characterize the habit of treating as per.
nlc )us and therefore ungentlemanly, un.
social and undesirable. The habit of treat.
ing has ridiculous side If that could tc
fully recognized, the pernicious habit might
be laughed out of existence.

The body gives many indications Of
approaching rain. Rheumatic joints
always begin to ache when rain Is
coming on. This Is due to the damp
ness Of the air. Those who curl the
hair can invariably predict wet
weather by the fact that the hair gets
out OF curl.
East wind has peculiar effect ON
the temper. If you are of an irritable
disposition. whenever you feel particu-
larly exasperated with everything and
everybody, ten chances to one the
wind is In the east. Or you can infal-
libby spot an east wind by your neu-
ralgIc pains II you be an unfortunate
sufferer.
On the other hand. II you are of the
nervous temperament, you can foretell
twenty-four hours In advance of q
storm from the south or southwest,
with Its muggy weather. Even when
the sky is blue and the sun bright nor
vous people feel the approach of a
southwestern gale. This Is very re-
markable. for the storm may be 1000
miles away.

A Warming.

Henry Ward Beecher, whose sermons
on temperance every young man should
read, said this:
II you say, Yes, have natural crav-
ing Tor IT., and then to you | say. That is
the very reason why you should not take
IT. II You have no craving for it whv
should you peril yourself by it? And if YOU
nave such a craving, surely, if you are
wise, you Will not put yourself in danger
by indulging it,
Look at the thing from the viewpoint of
your own interest
II you had to employ Young men to worl,
for you you would avoid drinking men.
Then don't drink whisky yourself. Don't
give every successful, conservative man the
best OF reasons for mistrusting you.
Very often moral cowardice underlies the
beginning of drunken career. There are
ideas of good fellowship associated with
drinking.
A hundred thousand young men drinl,
every day because they are afraid people
Will think they are not good fellows"
Have the courage to be a good fellow of
the kind that is not picked in whisky.
When man wonders at your ordering
some harmless stuff, something free from
alcohol, point to the drunkard at the other
end OF the bar and say:
That man once thought that bracer
would not hurt him. / am modest enough
to believe that what hurt him NAV hurt
me- | shall need all my feeble ability to
compete with such geniuses as YOU other
fellows. Therefore | propose to keep in
tact my brain and the mucous membrane
that lines me-"

Lesson Thoughts.
Christ's resurrection from the dead
is not only the fulfillment of the proph-
ecy concerning him, but It is the only
foundation of our hope of risen life
with him.
One test of our risen life Is its
power of growth. II we are alive In
Christ, we are growing up into the
stature of Christ.
No Christian has begun to live till
he has begun to die-only as the old
life OF sin has been destroyed can the
new life of grace increase.
