converted their chief desire seems t.
be to give their boys a liberal educa
ton, so that they can make the mos
out of their lives for Christ. Thus
young man, no matter where you 80 o
what you do, you can never get ava.
from the many parental prayers whicl
have been offered in your behalf They
are always tugging and pulling you to
ward Il better life. They are pulling
your heartstrings now toward Christ
In the next place, you are not O
hOmeOpath in u spiritual sense. You
may be a disciple of Hahnemann, as
many Ct you are. but in a spiritual
sense you are not. In the realm of the
higher life you do not believe similia
similibus curantur, that like cures
like" You do not believe that "sin
cures sin" Oh, no You know and
you feel only the blood of Jesus, the
Saviour, can make you as spOtless as
the driven snow. So, now. l feel that
the purer and hOlier life is dawning
upon you. | feel that all the good and
the true in you are leading you on to
fully consocrate yourself to the Mas
ters service. We have often heard
how brave the surgeons have been in
battle. President Roosevelt declared
that there never was Il Drawer set of
men than the doctors who belonged to
his rough riders. At San Juan hill
upon their backs, they carried the
wounded to the rear, while the Spanish
sharpshoOters were firing at them from
among the trees. That was brave.
That was heroic. But today l want
you to be just as brave and true.
here and now want you, in order to in
sure your future Christian usefulness
as a family physician, to surrender
your whole life to the service of Jesus
Christ. You will do it, will you not?
Be Like DIR. Luke.
And so, young physician, as you are
now ready to consecrate your life to
the Saviour l am going to tell you
about Il beautiful scene which perhaps
may happen in your life and death.
hope the death scene may happen many
years from now. Some day in the dim
future, let us hope when your lifes
work is drawing to a close there will
be great excitement in some village or
in one of the neighbOrhOOds of Il great
city Everywhere the word will be
whispered: Have you heard the news
Have you heard the news? The doc
tor, the good old family doctor, is very
sick" Then the news will be printed |
in the village or the city newspapers
that the good doctor, the family doctor, |
is dead. Then in your family home |
there will be assembled a fearful gath |
ering. The young men and the young |
women there will not only remember |
that you welcomed them into the |
world. bat also will tell how you put |
your gentle hand Of remOnstFance upon
their shoulders when they were Abort

folks will tell how you prayed with
them when they lost their first babies
And the minister win tell how your
presence was always the strongest spir
tual reinforcement in the church And
he poor families will tell how you not

friends to help out their winter need
With clothing and food and coal. And
while these weeping friends are telling
If your good works, as the weeping
Widows did about the corpse of Dorcas.
here will be heard a fiutter of wings.
Then the same messenger which car
led up your soul-yOur redeemed soul
o tie white throne Of God will return
And the same voice which spake when
he white dove lowered over the Christ
tanding in the Jordan will speak then.
And then all the weeping friends will
ecall the divine cOmmendation. i was

Onsecrate your life to the cross? BY
