What Must Do to Become christ's

Lesson Thoughts.
Are you willing to be a disciple Of
Christ? Jesus says, "If any man will
be my disciples" This Is not forced
following, nor even merely voluntary
service. 1t means a heartfelt desire
to go after him.
Remember, you are to be Christ's
disciple, not your own, you are to go
after him, not yourself. And to do
this you must deny yourself-your
self-wlll, self-indulgence, self-right-
eousuess.
Selections.
My God, love thee, not because
hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love thee not
Must die eternally.
Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking reward
But as thyself hast loved me,
ever-loving Lord!
Self uenial is not the whole of reli-
gion. No, 1t Is only one aspect of it,
Suppose should undertake to describe
a beautiful garden by saying that It is
a place fenced In. What idea would
you have Of the sweet flowers inside
the blooming roses, the blossoming
shrubs, the delicate lilies, the modest
pansies, and the fragrant air? Now,
II you regard religion merely as self
denial, you see only the unattractive
fence and none of the beauties of the
garden.
disciple Is a learner, that is the
very meaning of the word-Christ the
teacher, his disciples the pupils
Christ's principal employment while
on earth was that of teacher And
how grandly he taught, Truly.
never man spake as this man" And
who are his disciples? Why, those
who learn OF him. Those whose high
est interest is in subjects Of the Chris
tian religion, those whose controlling
motive Is to know more OF the way Of
salvation.
Those who are earnest students OF
Gods word, those who are faithful
and regular attendants at the serv-
ices OF Gods house, where Christ
teaches through his word and his sac
raments

One of the prettiest sights as re

death by the cross. There must be

Our Responsibility.

Whenever that is done We have to do it

ones OF earth, yea, and some who count
themselves strong, to ponder on this truth.
Men are prone to blame Others for their
misdeeds. This one ,empted or the other
led astray. And so the conscience is
soothed, the still, small voice quieted.
The consequence is that the experience,
in all probability, is repeated in kind
when little wholesome remorse for sin,

longs, would save much. No one can
sin for us. Whenever that is done we
have to do it ourselves. = Philadelphia

The Power of n Cody Life

In recent article. the Rev. DIR.
Schaufiler incidentally said: | had a
teacher in our school who used to be a
sailor-a gody man. He knew little OF
history, and nothing of science; but he
knew Jesus. He so taught his class that
everyone found the Savior, and made
public confession. By and by he came to
me and said: Take my class away. l
higher; but ] have led them to Christ.
Give me- he said, "a new class that does
not know Christ, and / will try to lead
them to the Shepherd I gave him a new
class, and before he died everyone had
found the Savior. What was the po.
tency in that uneducated man? Was it
not his humble trust in Him who can
sanctiiy whatever word is spoken!"

Clear, Logical and Strong Rea-
sons Why the Democratic
Nominees Should be
Supported.

William jennings Bryan was greet
ed by an immense audience on Mon.
day afternoon, variously estimated
at from 5000 to 5000 people. He
spoke from a platform erected at
the northeast corner OF the court
house and for an hour and a hall held
the undivided attention OF his hearers
II there had been any doubt as to
what his attitude would be on the
ticket and nominees, they wefespeed-
lily dlspelled, for in bis own inimitable
manner, he gave iorceiul and logcsl
reasons why the Democratic nom-
inees and platform should be sup
ported.
He said II any Democrat was dis
satisfied with any plank in the plat
form, II he would compare 1t with the
corresponding plank in the Republi'
can platform, he would find 1t so
much b, tier that he would accept the
Democratic plank and conclude that
1t was pretty good, He heartily en-
dorsed Judge Parker's views on the
Philippine question and condemned
the military and imperialistic views
and expressions OF Mr.. Roosevelt.
He paid glowing tribute to Mr..
Folk and reminded his hearers that
the Doodle issue which had been fore
ed to the front in this state by Mr..
Folks honest and courageous per.
Torrance OF official duty had attract.
ed the attention OF the world and the
honor and credit OF the state de-
manded his election by an over
whelming majority. He also reminded
that the balance OF the ticket was
running upon the same plat.srm and
no part could be defeated without at
least partial population Of that
platform.
He paid high tribute to our able
representative In Congress, Judge
DeArmond, and challenged any one
Ito find In the records OF congress
during his twelve years service,
vote or speech from him that was not
in the interest OF the masses OF the
people. He said that Judge Dear
mond's record showed that while ht
did not endeavor to assist his con
stituents In robbing other people, hi
did try to prevent Others from get
ting their hands into the pockets o
his constituents.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was we'll receiv
