a "Stone Forest"

There is what may be called 0
stone forest on San Nicholas island,
of Southern California. This weird
forest is the result OF some awful erup-
tion that must have taken place long
ago and is described thus: The origi
nal condition of the land was that of
a huge forest, when an eruption of tho
Mont Pelee order swept down upon 1t
blasting off the yerdure and leaving
only the long stumps Of what were
once beautiful trees; then the out
break, as is often the case. caused tho
sea to rush In on the land. The action
Of the water and chemical remains OF
the eruption (combined lime and Laval

stumps into solid stone. The general
condition OF the country now Is q wild
and barren tract Of land. It consists Of
hilly and sandy stretches of dead for.
sst,all the timber being stricken to the
ground and the trunks rarely showing
more than eight or nine feet above the
earth. Here and there . large mass

August 9.-Stir up th: Gilt OF God Which Is
10 Thse-C2 fin. |. 6.3.

Timothy was called to be a preach.
er. The ordination he had received
from Paul was the sign Of a greater
ordination from the Holy Spirit. He
was set apart to be an evangelist. He
had been given gift for that work. a
talent for soul-winning, an aptitude for
declaring the good news. But no gift
Is self-eXercising. Timothy must use
his powers. There is many man who
has locked up his gift, and afterward
has lost the key.
The great hindrance to the full use
of our powers for God Is fear. The
one-talent servant who gained nothing
no gift of God. Whenever God would
hearten his servants ne says to them,
Fear not, for | am with thee" Do
not hide behind your fears as though
they were honorable defenses.
God has given to every one of his
children, in greater or smaller meas.
ure, the spirit of love, and of power.
and of reason. We love him for what
he does and for what he is. We pro-
fess that for love of him we are ready
to do and go and say and be what he
desires of us. We have power to speak
the word that his salvation has put
into our mouths. The plan of saliva.
tion means that. One preacher wins
ten men, who each win ten, and in
year tae world is vibrant with tha
tread of the advancing host, while ten
years sees the message carried to the
ends of the world. There are breaks
in the chain. so that that 1t is not act.
ually endless" but the plan of 1t is
Gods devising. It makes every saved
sinner an evangelist in his turn.
The Christian who possesses tho
power of Gods presence is often re.
vealed by great emergencies. The oc
caslon stirs up the gift. On Paups
voyage to Rome he kept in the back.
ground as long as all could help to sc.
cure the safety of the ship. But when
everything had been done in vain, and
despair settled on the ships company,
he knew his time to speak had come.
John Wesley noted the conduct of Mo.
ravians in storm at sea, and marvel.
ed at their freedom from fear He
found that same freedom when he re-
ceived the same power.
Gods plan of increasing the kingdom
by multiplication instead of addition
makes every Christian preacher. The
days work Is a sermon. The home life
is a sermon. DAY unto day uttereth
speech; night unto night showeth
knowledge" use every opportunity
that presents itself to present the Cos
pei" That does not mean offensive
ness, nor tactlessness, nor the mere
stating of Christ's offer without caring
whether or not 1t is accepted. The
Christian should grow more expert.

Lesson Thoughts.
Not until we realize that we are per.
sonally called to Gods service can we
have the zeal that should be ours In
seeking souls.
He who has a passion for souls will
not depend upon his own power, but
will often and earnestly pray to God
in their behalf.
The Gospel belongs by right to all
men, and our very possession of it puts
us Under obligation to bring others also
into their rightful relation to it.

needs of a dying world, and by the
