d UT there are dangers peculiar to
u children of light. 1t is said that
every plant has it's enemy, and surely
every Christian has his perils which
confront him. What are the dangers
which confront the child of light? ]
want to mention two: Hid lights and
extinguished lights. The hid light is
the useless light. OF no practical value
to the possessor and of absolutely no
use to others. But how many hid lights
there are! Christians who have not
backbone and courage enough to shine
for Jesus. Lights under q bushel, they
go about and mingle with the children
Of darkness and try to be and do so as
not to be conspicuous. Such lights are
next door neighbor to the extinguished
lights, the Christians who have back
slidden and no longer walk in the fell
lowship with God or their brethren.
They have loved this present evil
world better than the Christ who had
| drawn them from darkness to His mar
velous light, and SO they have gone
back to the darkness. There is danger
Of the children of light being drawn
away from Christ, step by step, until
the light is extinguished. If your feet
are slipping, beware! II you are grow
ing cold In your spiritual life, beware!
But there are rewards for those who
are faithful. BE thou faithful unto
death-that is, ven to the point Of
yielding up your life in effort to shine
for Christ-and thou shalt receive a
crown Of life." Yes, and there are re-
wards for this life as well. Righteous
ness always brings Its OWE great re-
ward. Goodness is profitable in all
things, for this life and the life to
come. And the children Of light who
realize their great privileges, who meet
their obligations, who satisfy the needs
Of the soul, who prayerfully avoid the
dangers, will surely reap the blessed
fruits Of their labors. Walk, then. as
children of light!

J. C. Gordon, Of Silver City, Yazoo

that measured 81 inches in length an(

certainly a magnificent specimen o.
the cucumber and no doubt containe
ipnumerable stomach aches. 1t ha
been sent to st. Louis and is now O

TIE WHO has daily access to the
II very presence Of an earthly king
and is on terms Of intimate fellowship
with him, knows theat there Is NJ re-
quest which he may not make. no
favor which he dare not ask, and he
knows that If it Is within the power
of the king to grant them, he shall OBJ
tain his desires. What a privilege!
Children of light having access to and
fellowship with Him Who is the Light.
And then clear vision and a plain
path. Not children Of darkness; blind
leaders Of the blind, and both falling
into the ditch, but seeing plainly and
following safely in the pathway
marked out. And identity with God.
Children Of light part of the Light.
This thought Of identity with Christ
Is suggested in the opening verse Of
the chapter from which our text is
