The pledge is then read by the secretary,
some brief addresses showing the evils re-

and the importance OF leading sober and
virtuous lives. The secretary then pro.

BoastfuI Building.

'Blow, o winds! Rise, o ocean! Break
forth, We elements and try my work.
Such was the boastful inscription put upon
the first Eddystone lighthouse built by the
eccentric Winstanley. His challenge was
accepted, and one fearful night the sea
swallowed up the tower and its builder.
The next one met a similar fate, the
structure and its builder, Rudyard, again
perishing together.
The third was erected by Smeaton, who
built it all of stone, making it a part of its
rock foundation, so that the lighthouse
penetrates it as tree penotrates the soil.
Upon this lighthouse no vaunting inscrip-
tions were placed, but ON the lowest course
were chiseled the words: Except the
Lord build the house, they labor in vain
that build it." and on the keystone, above
the lantern, is the exclamation, "Laus
Deoi" That structure still stands. a
never-failing beacon light to storm-tossed
mariners.
He who would build for eternity must
not set about his task in any vainglorious,
over-confident spirit. He must be careful
as to his foundation, building firmly and
deeply upon the rock, Christ Jesus, and
relying in trust and humility upon Him

Love is the greatest beautifier. The rea.
son is easy to see. Love itself is beautiful,
and if we give unselfish love a lodgment
with us it is constantly exerting molding
influence upon us.
Love always appears at its best. When
it goes woong it always chooses the most
becoming attire and the most captivating
adornment. So love, when it gets posses:
sion Of a human body, proceeds to mold
the face of that body into the most at
tractive form, for love always seeks to
clothe itself in the most attractive garb.
That is the explanation of the transfer.
nation that takes place in woman who is
mother. She may be plain otherwise,
but when she bends over her babe in an
ecstasy of mother-love she becomes beauti-
full. And in proportion as we give place to
unselfsh love do we become attractive.
There is no masseur like love to work
miracles in homely face. says the Chris.

specialist who can begin to do as much to
make a plain young man or woman, at
tractive, to overcome deformity or hide
blemishes as the magician love can do.
To hate is to become hateful. To love as
Christ loved is to become lovely. 1t is not
a cheap recipe, for such love costs in pro.
portion to its depth and intensity. But
any one that is willing to pay the price
may be beautiful.

No One without Talent.

Many Christians are failing to receive
degrees of joy.in Gods service, and are
not doing what they could easily do If
they would throw away false modesty
or humility. "Oh, | can not do anything.
! have no talent" or Il have only one tai
ent."
Beloved the Lord knows all about that
No one is without talent. And if you
have only one be glad and use that one.
The Lord will add to it if you use tAe one.
He says to you and to me. Bear much
fruit" 1t is blessed the writer knows (by
the grace of Cod from long experience to
use joyously and earnestly the powers one
has in Jesus service. 1t is blessed to
meet those whom one has led to Christ.
No wonder Paul says, writing to the
Galatians, Il live, yet not |, but Christ
liveth in me-" And the more one is led
by the Spirit the more OF this blessed
peace with God does he realize and the
greater his JOY in knowing that his life
is made blessing to others.-Alfred I,

The Power Of Personal Influence.
John I. 35.39.

fhe universe is so constructed that
events apparently trifiing have tre'
mendous influence down through un'
counted ages. Righteous Abel be
ing dead yet speaketh." His simple
obedience in the dawn of history has
rung bells of encouragement in the
far-away periods even to the present
and their stirring notes will peal on
till the end of time. 1t is evident that
in the common deeds of life there is
potency not always accorded them. If
potent whence is their potency? Is 1t
merely in the doing, as the falling OF
an apple from a tree? That cannot
be: for while the falling Of an apple
may for an instant affect every atom
of the earth, the disturbance thus
caused will gradually diminish and
ere long be ineffective in so far as we
can judge. If the potency of deeds
cannot be detected in matter, then 1t
must be in mind. A subtle, hidden,
invisible force imparts to them vital
energy. Somehow our deeds exert
power long after the hand that tossed
them forth has gone back to dust 1t
Is the personal power in our deeds
that rings bells in the world through
the long centuries.
The greatest of all the great
deeds of John the Baptist was turn.
ing his followers away from himself
to Christ.
It was the Chrlst-spirit in John
which made effective his testimony to
his Saviour. Whatever added 10
Johns personal loyalty to Christ in
creased the effectiveness of his testi
mony for his Lord.
Here Is an instance wherein
Johns testimony had more weight In
convincing the people than would
Christ's own claims have had.
It Is not the amount we do, but the
quality of our work, that determines
the grade of music made. Consider a
marriage ceremony in the Orient
The long ceremonials and procession
are ended. The bridegroom, having
entered the apartments of his bride
Is allowed to lift the veil and for the
first time behold the face of her who
became his wife by bethrothal' II sa
tisfied with her he passes TO an outer
door and announces his hearty ratlh
cation of the match that was made by
his representatives. Women in wait
ing announce the joyful news. Every
where II is greeted with satisfaction
The Joy of many Is full, but for the
happy couple Joy is fulfilled. The
mission of the bridegroom's friend is
completed. Harmonies of rare beauty
are started through personal influence
and their music will continue through
the rivers sweep Of onward rushing
time"

The end of life is not to do good, al.
though many OF us think so. 1t is not to
win souls although | once thought so. The
end of life is to do the will of God.
How can you build up life on that
principle? Let me. give you an outline
OF little Bible reading;
The object OF life: Il come to do Thy
will, o God"
The first thing you need after life is
food: MY meat is to do the will OF Him
that sent Me"
The next thing you need after food is
society: He that doeth the will of My
Father in Heaven, the same is My brother
and sister and mother"
You want education: Teach me to do
Thy will"
You want pleasure: Il delight to do
Thy will, o God"
A whole life can be built up on that one
vertical column, and then, when all is
over, the that doeth the will OF God
abideth forever, Henry Drummond.
