II matters not how great the amount
OF electrical power generated and
stored, unless there is some way Of
applying it to the wheels the car is
motionless, and the lamps give forth
no light. The only motive power to
goodness and bleSSedness this world
has ever known is the God Spirit So
Tar as men have been united to that
power they have been happy and pow
erful for good. However we lack good
ness and bleSSedneSS, that lack is be-
cause Of defective connection with God.
Few persons are fully conscious of
the love, faith, patience meekness,
nope and joy which the Christian life
Is capable of affording them-some
power, but more Of weakness; some
times of joy, but more Of depression;
some resistance of evil, but more of
yielding to it; some faith, but more
of doubt; some hope, but more of fear;
some love. but more Of Indifference or
dislike; some doing of duty, but more
Of inactfVity-all this because the di-
vine thought has never been received
nor the divine joy been felt. The word
has not been heard by the inner soul
depth, the electric connection has not
been made to set the glow of light in
the heart. But what a change when
we do~hear the voice of the Son of God
and His word abides in US! What con-
seriousness of knowledge! How the
truth holds us as magnets hold STEEL
What tides Of power and joy thrill
through the being as pulsations of cleo
trio energy throb along the wires ana
burn in bright light on the carbon!
IN TRAINING FOR CHURCH WORK
The Baptist Young Peoples Union
of America represents the young peo-
pies societies connected with Baptist
churches in all the states and Canada.
The union was organized July s, 1891
Its motto is: Loyalty to Christ"
It's pledge is: Relying upon Divine
help, [ hereby promise to be true to
Christ IN all things, and at all times;
to seek the New Testament standard of
christian experience and life; to at
tend every meeting of the union, I'M
less hindered by reasons approved by
a good conscience, and to take some
part in the services, aside from sing
ing, if it is possible to do SO with sin
certify and truth"
It's object is: 1.-THE unification OF
Baptist young people; their increased
spirituality; their stimulation in Chris
tlan service; their edification in Scrip
tural knowledge; their instruction in
Baptist history and doctrine; and their
enlistment in missionary activity
through existing UNCONVENTIONAL or
CARNATIONS"
It's lesson topic for Jan. Is is found in
Acts ii, 17-1S; Proverbs ii. Is; Mark
1, 1920. The Baptist union like all
other similar societies for Christian
work, has for it's supreme purpose
the training of young people for future
church work and no effort should be
spared to effect this purpose. Both
young and old should be workers to-
gether with Christ. What an honorl

lost men and women the way of life.
