single action at the moment. but never

their noses 10 see where all the ac-
tions taken together go to; and so be
ing just like weathercocks, blown
about by every wind Of temptation
that comes to them. If they are good
or pure they are so by accident, by
Impulse, or because they have never
been tempted. They have no definite
plan or theory of life on which they
could put into words il anybody asked
on what principles, and to what end.
and towards what objects they were
living. And as everybody is tempted
into such an unrenecting way of life
about them. SO youth especially are
tempted to IT, because at their age
Judgment and experience are not so
strong as inclination and passion; and
everything has got the fresh gloss of
novelty upon it. and 1t seems to be
sometimes sufficient delight to live
and get hold of the new joys that are
flooding in upon them. And. therefore.

life that bears being put into words.

zone shall chase a thousand and

There is a story told Of a man long
ago who came up with a little hand
ful OF men to attack king with a
large army; and when the king, who
had an army Of $4,000 men, heard that
the general had only 500 men, he sent
a message to this young oficer (per-
haps no thought he was an enthusi-
asst and was mad) that II he would
surrender to him he would be very
merciful and spare his life. And the
young general heard the messenger,
and when he haH finished he said to
one Of his privates:
"Go and leap over into yonder
chasm." and over he went into the
jaws Of death. Then he called an
other, and handed him a dagger, and
said:
Take that and drive 1t into your
heart" And he drove it into his
heart, staggered forward. and fell
dead. Then he turned 10 the messen-
ger. and said:
Go back and tell your king that
have 500 such men; tell him we die
but never surrender"
And when the king heard that 500
such men were before him his army
got demoralized and fed. The young
general said to the messenger:
Tell your king | viii take him cap.

twenty-four hours And he did 1t.

What is a friend? We often speak
the word lightly, not realizing how
much it means. A friend is one who
needs US. and one whom We need.
Around us may be man. whose com.
panionship we enjoy. but we're they
suddenly to drop out Of their places
there would be no soreness, no sense
Of deprivation. no lack of comfort
elsewhere. We do not need them.
neither do they need us. A friend is
one to whom we cling, though many
leagues Of space separate US, whose
fellow-feeling we never doubt, though
years pass with no sight of his face or
a word from his pen. We know our
friend loves us, and that when we
meet again it viii be on the same old
terms; we shall begin where we left
of. A friend is one in whom we con
iide. The secret chambers Of our soul
open to his touch on the latch: we
give and take tenderest condolences.
In view of all this. how great is the
wonder of the Lord saying to us. "Ye
are My friends" If we are Christ's
friends, then He needs us as we need
Him; then He loves, though our eyes
see not His face. nor ears hear the
sound of His voice; then all the Sc
crets OF God are, or are to be as soon
as we can bear it, revealed uato US.
