The HIGHER LIFE.
The Christian Sacrifice.

Eov. 6. l.. lIlrkok. pastor of the Farming.
ton Presbyterian Church
In the first eleven chapters of his
rplsllc to the Romans. the apostle
cOuyIcts the whole world of sin,
both the jew and the GcntiIes. He
proves the helplessness of human
nature to destroy sin and its works
and bring about reconciliation with
God. Where man through sin is
weak and helpless, God in love and
mercy makes possible salvation
from sin through His Son, Jesus
Christ. Salvation, with all of the
Christian graces and power, be-
comes Gods unmcrited gift aud
kindness.
In the opening verse of the 18th
chapter, Paul cxhorts, because of
these mercies, that Christians pre-.
sent their bodies as living sacrifices,
holy, acceptable unto God as IA rca.
Sonahlc service, The thought of
the verse is evidently based on the
Old Testament sacrifice. Under
the Old Testament the lamb was
laid upon the altar without reser-
yation. In Christ. we are to bring.
not helpless animals, but our own
bodies, including the mental and
spiritual a> well is the physical.
Our offering is To he II complete
surrender 10 t'od, II setting apart
to His service or conservation.
Three things characterize such Il
sacrifice: 1t is to he II living sac
riiicc instead of the Offering up of
the slain lamb Of the Old Tcsta.
mcnt. 1t is to be IL perpetual aud
continual service instead of the
single Old Testament offering. We
are to sacrifice not once only. rs
when We unite with the Church:
nor on holy or fcSlal days, as when
we gather in this house for service;
nor spasmodlrally, rs under some
religious icrvor or excitement, but
hour 10y hour day 10y day. In our
Church services and also IN our
daily living, about our business aud
our ordinary duties. This sacrifice
Is to hr holy, rs the lamb of the
Old Testament was without spot or
hIrmlSL, 50 are we To offer uur ser
vice, Withholding nothing because
of its value in our eyes or holding
any sin because it is dear.
It Is to be- acceptable TO God in
the sense that whatever our service
il shall br pleasing in His sight.
To please God becomes thr actuut-
ing principle Of our living
With all of this. our sacrifice is
to be our reasonable service. Not
in the srnSrthal it is no more than
tod has the rlgh; to ask or expect,
but IN the SENSE that il shall he
rational and spiritual. It is the in
lcrual state of our being rather
than the external manifestations or
forms The question of service is
not one of when, where or how.
but the manifestations of our splr.
itua! being dedicated to God.
From worldly standpoint the
sacrifice demanded is II great one
Not So when the grace OF God has
touched our hearts aud they are
filled with love TO Him. Because
of His mcrcicS, as we realize their
greatness and value, we are led to
present our bodies as living sac
riiircS, holy, acceptable unto God,

The Lords 5 Supper.

]
| Pennington NJ T. Church south
This sacrament of the Church Is
so called because Jesus, in the
night that He was BETRAYED. took
bread. aud when he had blessed it,,
broke it and gave to His disciples
saying. This is My body which is
broken for you; this do in yrmrm.
brance of Me. In like manner
also He took the cup saying, This
cup is the New Covenant IN My
blood; this do yc, rs oft rs yc drink
| it, in remembrance of Me. -
Thus ordained, il has stood uu-
disputed through the ages of Chris
tendon, aud shall stand unshnkru
until the Lord shall come, Time
wastes whit man projects, bat this
simple rite is unyicIdng. Solo
mans Temple. tn" wonder and
pride aud glory Of Jerusalem, has
been thrown down stone by stone.
Babylon, wherein was combined
the beauty and might Of the an
clients, is Gnly Il fair dream of the
past One day men shall no longer
go to Egypt TO behold the wonders
of the world, for time shall waste
even her monuments aud mufI"
them with the common dust Bat
until the end of the ages this that
commemorate the death and suf-
ferings OF our Lord shall stand aud
gather beauty aud strength rs the
years fall powcrleSs before its
might! To day millions surround
our Lords table aud ralSc this
monument higher and make its
base broader. At this hour, from
how many Churches 90 up the mys.
tie and comforting words: The
body of our Lord, broken for you;
the blood of our Lord, Shed for
You -
But what perpctuatcS this simple
rite! Surely not its ceremonial
display In all the Evangelical
Churches it is the essence of sim
plicity-wc take n little bread. We
drink little wine. But, an. who
taught us to do this, aud what said
He about it, We can almost i'm
imagine the scene. He is saying, !
90 out now to give my body 10 be
broken aud My blood to be split,
all for You aud for those who shah
believe on Me through You. Here
after. rs often rs We shall break
this bread together remember how
| gave Myself for you and the
world. And let the crimson juice
of the grape remind YOU of My shed
blood drink this in remembrance
of Me. 1t is the spirit of the Sac-
rament that preserves it For how
touchingly does it speak To MS of
the Fathers gift and of the Say
ior's love, promising lis all the
while that our Lord shall come
again. In il infinite goodness
whispers love into our hearts. -
Aud ever. as you pnrtakc Of this
sacrament, remember that Jesus
Christ, who is alive for rvcrmorr,
will walk with you along Iirc'S way
aud talk with you aud lend YOU His
help in time of need, and not refuse
You His comfort in time Of sadness +;
aud He will enter into your joy in
times of gladnesS. He gives Him
self for you and He is just the one
you need.

pllshments lies principally in his
own self knowledge of having per.
formed his duty towards himself.
But Mr.. Folk was even at this time
ii very remarkable young man in
one trait of character. That trait
was the high moral sensibility
which peryaded his every act: That
trait, together with some other
characteristics which are invariably
rorrclatlves of it, is the one thing
which has raised Mr.. Folk above
the commonplace and made him the
foremost man in Missouri.
The formative period in his life
had just begun when Mr.. Folk
graduated from law school at
the age of II years. Brownsville

the llfework, most likely because
it was home. The plain, ordinary

he accordingly formed II partner

prominent member of the Browns
Vile bar. a: the end of one year
this partnership was amicably dis

that Il large city offered wider and
