1t is not difficult to distinguish between
the true and the artificial. The moral tes'
is the sure one. When conscience is sensi
tive and the will submissive, and the lf,
consistent, there is no doubt about one,
spirituality. When the soul sings: II de
light to do Thy will, o, God" and ther
does delight to do Gods will, or does tn,
will OF God from firm resolve, there can bt
no doubt. When one loathes sin and triet
to leave it-all sin, all kinds of sin-sI
against the body, sin against the soul, sr
against the neighbor, sin again Christ anC
the Father-there is no difficulty in reach
ing decision as to the genuineness o.
Christian. character. 1t is no mirage. The
garden OF the Lord is there.-Bishop Johr

Lesson Thoughts.
The very greatest assurance we can
have that India is becoming Christ ),
and all other lands also, is his own
promise that this shall be so. And
this we may surely believe, whatever
the worldly indications may be.
To be sure that there is no other
God, is to be sure of the final triumph
OF missions.
Selections.
The lieutenant governor of Bengal
once said, christian missionaries
have done more real and lasting good
TO the people of India than all other
agencies combined"
Said a traveller, II have lived for
years in India, and never saw a con.
vert" Soon afterwards he spoke Of
seeing thirty tigers there. Why"
said a missionary, 81 never saw thres
tigers there" "Oh," replied the
traveller, you did not go where they
were" Neither did you go where
the converts were," Justly retorted the
missionary.
MY brethren" said Brahman law.
yer, 1T were madness to shut our eyes
to the fact that Christianity has come
to India. 1t Is not passing episode;
it is mighty conquering and perma'
nent spiritual power come to stay and
repeat its victories"
Suggestions for the Meeting.
Have a map of India. large enough
to be seen distinctly from every part OF
the room.
Select as many of the great mission.
aries of India as you have time for,
assigning each TO an Endeayorer for a
little report concerning him. AS each
is described, the leader will pin to the
map, at the place where he worked, a
paper streamer bearing his name.
Especially, see that a careful sketch
OF your own UNCONVENTIONAL mission
work in India Is prepared Mark the
places where the denomination works
with gilt stars. Have the society re-
peat together the names Of your mis-
sionaries in India, and their mission

Why do we worry about the nest?
We only stay for day,

Why do we worry about the road,

In dismal path or a heavy load,
We are helped by hands unseen.
Why do we worry about the years
That our feet have not yet trod!
Who labors with courage and trust, nor

Has fellowship with God.
