Them your life with His, with the life of
the best character you know. with the
man you hoped in your youths beset
dreams you might some day be.
Note the appalling railroad wreck of
the past week. Read it's allegory. See
two pictures-the freight train loaded with
blessing: two cars with dynamite with
power for good; the passenger train with
it's freight of souls. What thrill of the
music of industry in the song OF the whiz-
zing wheels and the whishshsh of the
greeting as the two iron steeds of strength
and speed fed with black bread from the
heart of the earth, rush past, each on Its
own track! Few sights as beautiful. But
look again. Some freight cars leave their
track, fall across the others track-and
woe!-the sickening, sightless horror of the
wreck: the groans of the dying; the
CHASTITY dead, unknown. It's the lesson
of our life, with its trains of body and
spirit-on their God-laid tracks fraught
with blessing. Earth has no picture more
est play in harmony, soul helping flesh as
flesh helps soul. But look again. The
lusts of the flesh throw both from their
God-laid tracks. He'll has no picture
ishness, Jesus came to redeem you and
set you again on the right tracks; to
throw open the tracks of new life to you.
Watch His life on earth of transcendant
glory and follow Him. The trains are
running on the Pennsylvania system today
and travel is even safer.

Gods life flow into mans in a way to sus-
tain and develop free manhood. Only by
this infusion of Christs life can weak man

A shallow infidel with flippant wit called
this the ''cannibalism of the church." This
ligious' matter merely. 1t is as practical
as the call of the doctor on which your life
depends. 1t is more vital. Jesus cares lit
tie about our formal worship. He cares
most about our real motives, our Utmost
life The most superficial thought must
convince any man that we can have no life
save from the God in whom we live and
thermore, that we must receive His life
through the channels of His own appoint
ing. His channel for US is the Son of Man.
eff We abide in Me and My words abide in
you, We shall ask what We will of life and
it shall be yours. If any man live not In
Me, he will be a withered branch and be
burned. If you live in Me, God will break
forth into the glory of abundant fruit in
your life. Your joy will be full, your peace
undisturbed, puzzle to men in a world OF
trouble, your strength as the strength of
God"
Richard Mansfelds most thrilling SEN
tence is, when as the prince, deprived Of a
natural childhood and youth, with the vehe-
ment passion of a mighty stream which
suddenly bursts the dam which had long
restrained Its natural flow, he says to his
fellow students: I'VE are young, and we're
going to live" This hunger and thirst for
life abundant life, Jesus approves. Even to
those who, in their eager infa:uation for
life, choose 1.-The way that seemeth right
unto a man, but whose end is DEATH Jesus
speaks: IT came that you might have life.
He that cometh to Me shall never hunger,
and he that believeth in Me shall never
thirst" Come to Jesus, and your youth
will have all your eyes and heart can crave,

Lead on to age blest

WINGED, take a few Sabbath hours to see
the life He lived, and that you may live
with Him-to imagine the face and hear the
accents of the Prince of Life when He said
to His contemporaries in. Palestine as He
says to His contemporaries in America to-
day: You will not come unto Me that you
might have life"
