Gods Request.
To be certain OF satisfactory results
God asks that we work in him as he
suggests. II is our privilege to realize
his presence. We do not serve d God
who is far away, but one who Is here
/ and now. He has fire and food and
wind and the minds Of men under his
| control. II he is for US he is more than
all who can be against US, The indy
Ing comfort in our work Is that we are
working and working to accomplish
his purposes and according I his meth

The church and Reform.
There have been times in the history
Of the church when she has wrought
nightly in great reforms. but today
the dominant characteristic OF the
church is t!midity: her dominant policy
is to be as noncommittal as possible
and her aim 10 keep out Of trouble as
far as possible. So long as that atd-
tude is maintained the church will
never have any force, No reforms viii
be effected. If the church made up her
mind TO do SO every saloon and every
gambling house in the land could be
closed instanter. She could prevent
\ war. Rev. George C. Loriner.
Baptist, New York.
