Holy Spirit, purify md take possession of all for

weary of Thy service give the JOY of the worker
teach me to go as low my desire, low as Thou
willest me to go, Thou who art holy and righteous
Open mine eyes to work; fill my heart, which
has been cleansed by Thee, with work and speed my
footsteps, not in my work, but in Thine Keep my
fingers clean that may not soil Thy work the work
which Thou hast purchased with Thy precious blood
work which has been sanctifed by Thy sweat, by
thy tears, yea, by Thy hearts blood my God, work
with all the riches of the Godhead in it, upon it, be
hind it. driving it onward-nay, there is DRIVING

So. Lord, draw me to Thy work and keep Thy work
IN me- and enable me to draw others to Thy work
Manifest Thy work in these days for the sake of the
atonement and remember the great Intercessor Thy
Son, Thy only Son Jesus, and Thy servants who are
also Thy sons. Baptize me into the work. for The
sake of the great Worker Amen.

APRIL.

Fond and fair April saucy yet so sweet,
With aureoes of gold and blue around
Thy mist-bathed head thy place is on the ground
Where maidens stand with shy reluctant feet
In thy long days the d-time rivals meet
Decrepit winter suing for the sound
Of thy devotions; Summer young who found
Thee in soft dells far from the noisy street
Thy laughter wakes to JOY the long-hushed earth
Up-springing grasses, fragrant flowers. gay birds
Choir thy reign thou Princess of the yeari
And we no less are glad in thee for dear
Hearts dearer grow when thou are nigh and
words
That speak loves tender movings now have birth.

THE GOSPEL OR NOTHING.

The gospel is the only power that can save sinful
and lost 1t quckens the conscience, pre-
sents infinite motives to the Will, and the truth is
enforced by the divine power of the Holy Spirit
A missionary and Chinese philosopher held this
conversation: DO you Chinese always want to do
what you ought to %" NO do not" well.
we have religion that will make you want to do
what you ought to do" THAT is the religion that
China needs 1t is old pagan saying:
1--WE the right and we approve it. too;
We know the wrong and yet the wrong pursue"
The law is all right, but mans fallen nature is
all wrong. Sinless angels may only need teaching
and object lessons but sinful man must have atom
ing blood, life and help from heaven Six
thousand years of human history, in accordance
with the Bible. are shotted to the muzzle with
proofs that man has depraved nature. His
achievements have been splendid and his failures
stupendous. He has vafnly harnessed all the arts
and sciences to his chariot wheels for life pro-
gress. He has VeXed himself with thought, wearied
himself with toll built proud empires and capitals
controlled the forces of nature, and conquered his
fellow-man many bloody field, but he has
been able to cope successfully with the innate
force of human depravity. His inventions have
become the mechanics of depravty, and his
derful achievements of civilization afforded
greater facilities for sin. Vice mocks at his
statutes and his penology His kingdoms have
been built on blood and guilt, and his national his
tory has been written in the blood of and the
tears of woman. His national ethics have been
the ethics of the jungle, BETTING Gods symbols
the wild beasts of prophecy.
China has fifty thousand Ralph Waldo Emersons,
and India has hundred thousand high grade
philosophers, but they cannot sinful and sor-
rowful Christ to atone sin, give
pardon, life and help from heaven. The
paschal Lamb saves by his life as an object
lesson but by his blood. The Bible makes
of the blood of Christ than the brains of man.
No evolution development will cure sin Sc
cular education will not sin; it may make
skillful knaves and dangerous neghbors We
must be Sprit-bred rather than college-b bred. We
must be born from above with a change of pedi-
gree. Divine truth must be spiritually discerned.
The Holy Spirit has more power than cultured
brain and silver tongue. Let bring out the old
gospel, believe it, and give it fair trial. The
godly world is marching to it's righteous catastro
phe, but marching toward a sudden and
glorious victory L am optimst-gfve time.
For yet little while, how short, how short the
coming One will come and will not tarry!'-E p.
