The Chicago Interior, speaking of an
editorial in an exchange. says that the
latter recently undertook to say a true
thing and said it so bunglingly that Il
sounded like selfish, cowardly false
hood. The truth aimed at was that the
fate of each mans soul rests in final
responsibility with himself alone. and
not elsewhere, and thence the editor
lllogfcally concluded that a Christian Is
not his brothers keeper and has no right
to urge on his brother the claims of the
Christian life. That was not only In.

Our Possibilities of welI-Doinr,

r 1t is not the doing a great thins
which is sure to be recognized and re-
warded OF Christ; but it is having the
spirit and the readiness to do what
we can. There are few who have the
money to build church. or to endov

OF provisions across the ocean to a
starving people. If there were no re-
ward promised except to those who did
such great things, most of us would
feel our helplessness in the work OF
well-doing. But the promise of God is
to him who gives cup of cold water
only in the name of Christ. All of us

The Heavenly speech they use above;
What cadences. oSep as the sea,
What hottest phrase or tone of love.

More sweet than angel-lips can sound:
forgiveness. grace in Christ the Lord.
Mercy, with loving-kindness crowned.
They breathe upon our hearts like songs
That swell around. below, above;
immortal words on mortal tongues,
The words that tell Gods wondrous love
Whey break upon our utter need,
Like dawn upon dark midnight strife,
Tor Jesus brought from Heaven indeed.
The words that spirit are and life.
We cannot want for words to men.
While stu we strike the mercy chordi
