Show His Best Side.

Cleveland. July 15.-At the weekly prayer meeting
Of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church last night
John D. Rockefeller said that the Christian faith
demands that every man must do according to that
which he hath. or according to that with which he
has been blessed
After number Of persons had spoken Mr.. Rookie
feller said:
There are two men who appear equally jealous in
the cause OF Christ, but is effective than
the other. The thing to do Is to fnd out the secret
or the effectiveness OF the one. The beginning Of
the appllcatio Of our Christianity must come now
tonight. tomorrow morning in homes or in
the office. Sometimes II has seemed to me that I
might advance the Christian faith by assisting IN
the endowment OF chairs in theological seminaTies
The world needs teachers of the faith However
humble we may be, whatever our place It matters
not we can show the best side. We must show the
most wtnsOme and convincing side. In fact we
