September 20-The Call Of eremlah-(S.r.
I. 4.l0.)

1t is not important that we should
know just how the word of the Lord
came" to jeremiah, or to any other
prophet. The word came. That is the
great thing. 1t is proved, not by any
strangeness Of the revelation, but by
the power, pungency, and truth of the
word which was revealed God has
seen jeremiah before jeremiah mad
seen God. From the beginning Jere.
miah was in Gods plan. There was
need Of such man; God provided him.
and educated him for his task, and In
the fullness of time called him to take
up the work.
No man really receives Gods call to
great service without being humbled
by 1t. The work is so great, who am l,
that should presume to think myself
sufficient for it? Such humility OF
spirit is natural and wholesome. When
God persists, in spite of our protest
that we are not able, he usually shows
us that he will work through us. He
will link omnipotence to our arms, and
will put the word of life upon our lips
No work for God Is ever done without
his cooperation. He never asks for or
desires independent work. He seeks
servants who are willing to know him
as well as they know men. They are to
translate divine messages into human
speech.
The great moral virtue required in
prophet is courage. The prophet is no
mere functionary. All hours and sea.
sons are his. He speaks so personal 4
message that it compels men to take
sides. for or against. The prophet will
have hearing. He may lost his pop.
ularity, his ability, even his head, but
he will prophesy a straight message.
And he will not falter. To him Thus
saith the Lord" is passport and safe.
conduct anywhere. II may land him
in prison. or condemn him to death.
but it cannot destroy him. or silence
his message. II we could have few
Jeremiahs equipped to-day as was he,
with the word OF God as the great ere
dental and material of their preaching.
they might make themselves unropu.
lar. but they would do great work for
God.
1t is. of course, true that few men
are called to be prophets 10 whole
people. But everyone who knows God
is called, whether in great or small
pldce, 10 GOu prophet, GOu WltHeSS'
There are many methods of prophecy.
but everyone has three elements; a di.
vine message, the understanding Of 1t,
and power to tell it to others. To no
BILE mind the privilege OF working and
suffering and fighting for a worthy
cause is strong incentive to join It.
The grandest leader in existence is
Jesus Christ, leading in the noblest
cause that ever touched the heart Of
man, the redemption of the whole
world from sin, the conquering OF
every evil. the transformation OF earth
into heaven.

Spelling Reform a -ain.

There is n new outbreak, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. of spelling re-
form. Earnest persons are writing 10
the newspapers about it, and some
newspapers are trying to begin at home
and reform their own spelling. accord
ing to the artificial rules of the learned
societies.
1t is the old story. We are to begin
with simplifying the spelling Of twelve
large and hard words. When we have
induced all the users of English TO
adopt our reformed spelling of these,
We are to take twelve more, anu so
on. until we have lightly adventured
all through the dictionary from \ to
lizard.
vii. the earnest reformcrs never
learn that the spelling. writing and
pronunciation of the English language
are among the things beyond control
by statute law or mass meeting re-
solution!
We co not spell the English Ian
guage. The English language spells
itself. ard we have TO 90 along with
it. 1t is a living organism. fluid, grow.
ing changing like jelly fish floating
in the water. We talk wisely about
the laws of language; bur the wises,
men tell us that they know little about
them.
If the English language. or any
living language, have IL formative,
shaping force, it is the general, un'
conscious consent of its users. as vague
rs it is irresistible, as fluid and shifting
as language itself.
When language begins 20 yield to
tie shaping hand of the learned acad
emies it begins TO die. When it il
dead you may spell and pronounce il
any way you like, rs we spell and
pronounce Latin and Greek; but not
before.

Neither deeds nor words alone are a

SELECTIONS.
What we want is men with little

Christianity wakes up, and every
