Inward Spiritual Strife.

But the Mediterranean N"'N"
ing against the Patmos rocks were not
only symbolic Of external troubles, put
also of an inward spiritual STRIFE.
When st. John gave his heart 10
Christ, In one sense he was emancipat-
ed from sin. But Satan never Tor an
instant, this side Of the grave, leaves
off his struggle to capture gospei
stronghold. The Bible declares Chris
tan shall not be tempted by a sin
greater than he can bear. But Chris'
tians always have to be going to Christ
for more spiritual strength in order 10
repel the Satanic onslaughts when are
daily being made against the strong
holds of their hearts.
Can we not find the symDol Oh
spiritual, struggle in the never enulne
restlessness of the sea? "Oh," said a
lady some time ago to me, Il am SO
tired of hearing those waves beat up
against the rocks" Yes, those waves
have been beating up against thoserocks
for thousands of years. When sailing
uDOn the OCeuU, SeluC uoyo 49,
seems as calm as Loon lake asleep as
q smiling child in the broad lap OF the
Adirondack mountains. But that Is
only a slumber. Within a few hours
she may awake with a scowling race
with the fire of the lightnings ID mel
eye and with the shriekings OF tne
tornadoes in her voice. In our lives
the spiritual struggles keep on to the
end. We have the good anger WINS
pering in one ear to be good; we nave
