GIorifying God in Our Daily Work.
Matt r. 1916. Rom 10 II

Matt. 5. 1916; Rom. IL. IL.
A part of the Sermon on the Mount
enjoins certain duties upon the bless
ed ones" After the benedictions
come the injunctions. They are
salt" and Eight" and as the former
they must purify and preserve, and
as the latter they must illuminate,
The passage from Romans is in the
conservation chapter, and deals with
conservation applied to our business
We are exhorted to be jealous, fer.
vent, and faithful in our daily bust
ness. Both unite to emphasize the
fact that we are to be faithful to God
in every secular relationship, and
thus glorify God in our daily life.
Salt and light are the two most
essential elements in the world for
life. Each element expresses a
quality which is essential in the
Christian and practical in its relation
to our everyday work. Notice the
Christian
!. AS the Salt of the Earth. Salt
Is nourishing substance. 1t Is a
universal condiment. 1t renders food
palatable and healthful. So the
Christian makes the world a fit place
in which to live. Salt preserves and
keeps from corruption. So the Chris.
tian is the conservator of society
The church saves the world from
moral putrefaction. Salt has also a
biting and consuming power. 1t Is an
irritating force when brought In con
tact with a wound So real Christi
anity has an irritating power to dis

men If we are what we should be
as Christians we will oppose and stir

suming
2. AS the Light of the World
Light is the great illuminator
Whether the natural light OF the sun
or the artificial light of oil or cleo
tricity, it uncovers and discovers. IL
displaces the darkness and cold Of the
night. 1t gives life to the world, SO
the Christian is the light of this NOR
al world. He uncovers the hidden
things, and eliminates the mind dis
covering sin to men. There are
some things that all may not do, but
every Christian can shine. In any
humble place, under any condition,
you may be the light of your little
world
3. This Influence to Be EXerted in
Daily Life We are not to be religious
only when on exhibition. We are to
be the salt" and light" in our every
day business life. We are TO exem-
plify our religion in our working
clothes, In the home, in the store, in
The school, and where duty may take
us, there we are to be the light and
salt of life. We are to make our
religion an everyday affair. In prac-
tical ways we are to glorify God
everywhere and at all times.

A wonderful work has grown up In
a Liverpool factory entirely as the
result of one mans conversion during
the Torrey- Alexander meetings of last
year. One of the employees at the
factory was a drunken fiddler, gambler
and dancer named Thomas Johnson,
He would frequently spend entire
nights in drunken carousals, and was
considered a hopeless wreck by his
friends. One day workshop comrade
invited him to go to the meetings. He
went, was glOriOusly converted; and
was filled with such ecstacy that he
could hardly stand upright upon his
feet. Three days later he and his
comrade brought two Alexander hymn
books and, with three others, went
into small room of the factory and
held song-service, followed by q
brief prayer-meeting. Other men in
the factory heard the singing and at
the next meeting on the following day
eight were present. Day by day the
meetings increased until half hun
