THIS burGen for souls should rest
| upon the heart of every Christian.
1t is not an experience which should
be confined to ministers and evange-
lists, and a few of the more spiritual
church members, but is one which
should be manifested in every heart
that has felt the cleansing power of
Jesus blood AMI the q%uickening power
of His life. The burden for souls should
characterize the Gospel, rather than be
the unusual and infrequent expression
of that Gospel. But such burden can
come only as the soul catches a vision
of the lost world, hopeless and help
less in its sin, and forever separated
from God, and a vision of the Christ.
and the worldwide salvation which
He is able to offer through the atone
ment which He made for sin. This
two-fold vision it is the privilege of
every Christian to have, and without
it he nay not know the intensiveness
and extensiveness of the blessed Cos
pei. But let him have these two Wis
ions, let him awaken to the intensity
of the life and sacrifice of Christ and
the extent of HIS mission and such
a burden for souls will roll in upon his
heart as will send him forth a soul
winner. The ~life-saving crew, sta
toned upon the rock-bound coast by
the government, would never be moved
to push out into the raging deep after
the perishing souls on the sinking ship
if from the lookout they turned their
gaze towards loved ones and life's
cherished hopes In the cottage resting
safely under the lee of the rock-ribbed

A ND this is the fruition Of the bur
~ den which m with the double
vision of the worlds need, and the
worlds Saviour: First, the Christiy
love which seeks. Second, the Christiy
love which tells. Third, the Christly
love which wants to die. Some bur
dens crush, while others become step
ping stones to newer and better things.
Paul's burden gave birth in his heart
to a larger love, a deeper purpose, and
fuller conservation. The burden for
souls never leaves the heart bruised
and discouraged, nay, rather with it
comes the infiowing stream Of Christ's
presence. With the burden for souls
there comes q sense of the love which
could bring the Son of God all the way
from Glory to this sin-cursed earth
seeking lost man, which could make
Him tell the blessed Gospel story with
His matchless life, and which could
bring Him gladly to the cross and the
grave. We talk of the love of Christ.
We say that we want it. But we never
can know that love until the burden
for souls fills u hearts with the
yearning which will send US out into
the highways and the hedges seeking
the lost. We shall never know that
love fully until the burden for souls
fills our hearts with the message and
unlocks the lips that it may be given
forth. Nay, more, we car never know
that love in all it's blessed fullness until
the burden for souls makes us cry out
to our God in our yearning, and long
to die if need be that souls may be
saved. Have you the love that seeks?
Have you the love that tells the glad
message of salvation everywhere?
Have you the love that would die in
order that souls may be saved?

OSEPH in Egypt was prepared for
y the large service by his vision of
the fa%r-reaching commission and des-
tiny of Egypt. Daniel in Babylon was
fitted for the control of the kingdom by
the revelation of the place that king
dom held il the plans of the eternal
God. Jesus was prepared to become
the worlds Saviour by the realization
Of Gods purposes in Him for all the
world. And the Christian is equipped
and prepared for service by this same
vision, this same realization of the in
~tensiveness and eXtensiveness of the
glorious Gospel. This condition and
attitude of heart characterize the life
and writings Of Paul. His ministry
everywhere, whether from the prison
cell at Rome or at Athens, OF Corinth
or Ephesus where he preached to the
m~ultitudes, throbbed and pulsated with
the intensity of the Gospels power to
save to the uttermost, and its extern
~siveness to reach out and enfold all the
needy world. 1t was from such a
heart, a heart filled with a realization
of the power and possibilities Of the
Gospel, that there burst the cry: my
hearts desire and prayer to God FOR
Israel is, that they might be saved.
I have great heaviness and continual
sorrow in my heart. For l could wish
that myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my kinsmen accord
ing to the flesh" A heart burdened
for souls. So burdened that he would
gladly have given his life and his hope
if thereby the lost souls of his brethren
might be saved. 1t was the echo of
the cry of Moses in the wilderness, as
he asked God to blot him out Of His
book if His mercy could not be extend
ed towards a SHINING people.

story goes to disapprove the theory
young Dewey is what his chill
dYen companions call him, but his
name is really Dewey Ritter, and he
lives with his father at 152 DeLohg

tore piece our of the lobe OF the
little fellows ear. This necessitated
his removal to the Park hospital
where the wound was dressed.
Before drawing the lacerated parts
together it was necessary to cauterlze
the injured parts. During this painful
operation and stitching of the wound
not a whimper or complaint escaped
the namesake of the hero OF Manila

To weaken in your self.eontrol
And let sour passions rage uncheck

When you get mad yon always say
Something you're sure TO regret,
And angry language never helped
A man to gain an object yet
Sc keep your temper if YOU can,
No matter how much you are pro

Don't initiate the cat and scratch
Because you are not rightly stroked
Just stop and think before you speak;
You'll gain immensely by delay,
