speaker once said, grant that he is per-
severing"
This parable was spoken by Christ to
teach a spiritual lesson as well as a
temporal one. If to make a great earthly
success we must consecrate our brains,
our bodies and our life to that particular
work, how much more, then, must we
consecrate our minds and hearts to Jesus
Christ to help in the spiritual work
of upbuilding his kingdom? If we must
have preparation and perseverance and
true moral worth to build the walls of
a temporal tower, how much more must
we have true preparation and persever-
ance and moral character to build the
walls of our spiritual structure? 'If any
man." says Christ in the verse preceding
this parable, hate not his father and
mother and wife and children and breth-
rem and sisters-yea. and his own life
also-he cannot be my disciple" That
means 'if man Is not willing to give up
all for Christ then Christ can be none of
his" Are you and I ready to make this
sacrifice. TO build our spiritual watch
towers today? Are we ready to make the
necessary preparation?
Perseverance in Building.
We opened this sermon behind the
school room desk of the teacher. Are you
and ready TO go and sit at Christs feet
and learn of him? Are we ready to accept
his teachings and receive him as our
Saviour? Christ says 1.-The that believeth
and Is baptized shall be saved, but he
that believeth not shall be damned" He
says again. 81 am the, way, the truth
and the life; no man cometh unto the Fa-
Their but by me" Are not Christ's words
clear enough upon this subject? Are we
ready to make the necessary preparations
for the building OF our spiritual watch
towers by becoming one with him through
the atonement of the cross?
Having accepted Christ after we have
laid the foundations of our watohtowers
are we going to persevere in the building?
We have read that Thomas A. Edison
becomes so absorbed when working on
a great invention that he will shut him

for days and weeks. lie will not leave his
office even for his meals. but has them
brought to him. We have been told that
when George Westinghouse was perfect
ing his famous ear brake he could talk
about nothing else. When he walked
along the Pittsburg streets and would
meet a friend ont of his pocket at once
would come the patent On the street he
would talk and talk to prove that his
brake was feasible. We have read how
the great workers. the great inventors
the great artists those who have won the
great successes OF the world have thought

accomplishment of their life's purpose
Shall we not be willing to give the same
perseverance to the service of Christ?

Wheel of Fortune.

The wheel of fortune turns. The
daughters brought up in luxury, have to
go out and make a living. Can you
cook? Are you an expert stenographer?
Have you papers which signify. that you
are a well trained nurse or school teacher
or dressmaker? Are you enough of an
authority on French to become a trans
lator, or are you proofreader, a master
hand as a musician or capable artist?
The questions which face you. o woman
are these: what can you do thoroughly
and we'll? On what subject can you
speak as an Al authority?' Half built
towers are uninhabitabe houses. Half
built ships are absolutely useless to brave
the tornadoes of the Atlantic ocean,.
What can you do? What can you do?
What one thing can you do as well IL
not better than any one else?
But the half built educational towers
are not to be condemned nearly as much
as the deserted, half built enterprises Of
life which we see everywhere around us.
