to burn out their existence. You mus

with which he has been endowed tu
the Almighty. Christianity Is sanity
and who ever tranSgresses the plaiI
laws of reason basing the processes OF
reason upon known and movable and

The Pulpit's Danger.-The church

afraid of offending some influential
member of his congregation instead OF
being fearful Of offending God: whe
rolls with the sinful tide of amuse

the wishes of the world-it is he whose
pulpit is a damaging one to the church

Cause and Results.-If we harmonic
our lives here with the material things
around us we shall endear those thingj
to ourselves, but we will dwarf the
spiritual things and lessen our capa
bility Of grasping them. We shall have
only the ability to grasp the carna
things but those things shall vanish
and we will have nothing. The life
which gives itself wholly only to pleas
ure and unholy ambition cannot ex
pect to reap the fruits of righteous
ness and holiness in the world to come
Rev. G. F. Miller, Episcopalian
Brooklyn.

right to use the weak. This has built
up the system as we now have IT, so
that those who can make gold elastic
can make the law elastic. And if there
is confession of law violation on the
part Of the powerful they can through
the services of clever lawyers get an
Immunity bath by reason of their con
feSsiOn.
There is coming to be change OF
sentiment that the vast resources OF
capital should not be used as personal
caprice dictated. This but acknowledges
the ominous feeling of discomfort which
is rising and to which 1t would be the
grossest folly to be blind.
This type Of civilization is unsafe.
It is like building in the shadow OF
Vesuvius The smoke Wreaths curling
skyward are thin, maybe, but they are
like the frown of the mountain, which,
deepening, suddenly breaks forth IN
wrath and destruction as if to punish
man for his temerity in building his
vineyards on it's sides, in raising his
palace in fancied security in the CON
tinual presence off danger SO with the
popular displeasure. first smoldering
and unnoticed and then finally the pop
ular passion breaks out as does the
wrath of the volcano. This is not the
civilization which we i'll this country
wish to cultivate.
To prevent this we want an awaken
ing to the fact that men are men-not
things Men, like ourselves, not things
to be used to the limit for our benefit
and then cast aside when worn out.
Men in power should realize this and
use their power as thing held in trust
for society. Then there will be no OBJ
lection to mans having power.

self-evident that the question, Are yoI

cry Christian some cross to bear. Tha
is the Fathers way of conforming tn,
Christian to the image of His son-'by
following in His steps,"
Nor does the question Are you
Christian? mean Are you sinless?'
For Paul sinned and all have sinneG
and come short of the glory of God.
None are righteous-no, not one
To be saved from the guilt and power
of sin does not mean to be proof against
SHINING.
And lastly, Are you a Christian?'
does not mean Are you as good as
some one else?" Salvation is not sane
tifcation. One is an act. the other is
a process. We are saved from the gull
of sin as soon as we put our trust il

Hence when Christians like Elijah
John the Baptist and Timothy lack th'
assurance that they are Gods children
the fault is not with God, but will

They look down when they ought t.

Just Like Jim.

During the war, says the Hartwell
(Ga.) Sun. when the militia were
about Savannah. an old lady who had
a sixteen year-old son down there went
to the depot at Greensboro with pair
of wool socks which she wanted to send
to her bold soldier boy" by telegraph.
Some men were walking about the de-
pot. One of them told her to walk
into the office and he would hang the
socks on the wire and in few min
utes she would hear from Jim. The
man pulled off his dirty, well-worn
socks. and putting on the new ones,
hung the old ones on the wire, and
went in and told the old lady Jim had
received the socks and sent back tho
old ones which were hanging on the
wire. The delighted old lady raised
her spectacles, saw the old socks, and
requested the man to take them down.
remarking in a voice full of pride and
tenderness:
Jus like Jim-he always wuZ d
keerful. savin' boy; and be has sent
his old socks for his nanny to darn
'em-God bless him. And in turn, we
say God bless all such innocent, tender
hearted mothers as Jim's.

THE HOPE THAT sUsTAINs.
By Rev. John Edwin Tt

By Rev. John Edwin Tr1plett.
I know whom l have believed and am
persuaded that he is able to keep that
which l have committed unto him
against that day-II. Tim. 1: II.
If Paul had been a millionaire, these
words would not appeal to the great
mass of Christian people. The average
Christian earns his bread by toiling
amid privations and temptations In
this fierce struggle for existence he is
often crucified on unseen crosses and
caused to fight many silent battle.
Hence the faith of the average Chris
tan is often temporarily eclipsed by
his trials, and then it is hard for him
to say: Il know whom l have be-
lieved."
Now, Paul was a penniless, hard
working Christian and he uttered these
words under the most trying circum-
stances After enduring the hardships
of these missionary journeys he was
now in a dismal Roman dungeon await
ing his execution. If he had been like
many brethren of to-day, we would find
him complaining about the unjustness of
his lot, and this comforting text would
not have been. But Paul forgot his
sufferings in his sympathy for Timothy.
He wrote the last letter Of his life to
comfort a sorrowful heart. Such was
the faith of Paul-he trusted Christ
until that day when the sea shall give
up it's dead and every man shall receive
his reward.
But Timothy was like many Chris
tians of the past and present For in
stance. the prophet Elijah, after fleeing
eight miles to escape the wrath of JeZ-
ebel, flung himself beneath a juniper
and sobbed to God to let him die. Then
John the Baptist, while languishing in
the prison of Herod, began to wonder
why God should treat him so. Had his
ministry been false? And SO he sent
his disciples to the Master to ask: Art
thou the Messiah that was TO come or
do we look for another? And these
dark days of doubt and uncertainty are
common to every Christian. Sometimes
temptations entice us; we fall and with
bitterness we cry Inc gOOd tnat L
would do | do not; and the evil ! would
not do that | do"
Now the anguish and doubt suffered
by so many Christians is occasioned by
failing to distinguish between the ques-
tons, Are you saved?" and Are you
free from hardships?'
Are you sinless?" and Are you as
good as Paul Cor some one else) p
Once a man said to me: well,
can't believe that if / were Christian
that God would treat me so''-he had
lost his wife and only child.
I replied: Don't you know that
these trials are necessary to develop the
Christian graces? Is it not the night
the dark night-that brings out the

Among His own People.

Few officers of the Confederate States
of America failed to retain the love and
respect of those for whom they fought,
but among them all, Joseph Wheeler
remained to his death one of the most
generally beloved. Even after he had
donned the blue again and fought for
a reunited country in the Spanish war,
the Southern people still acclaimed him
as peculiarly theirs.
In the spring of 1908 Rear Admiral
Schley and Colonel A. X. Mcclure were
touring the South together and were
guests at a reception in the Crescent
theater in New Orleans. A committee
of one hundred representative citizens
sat on the platform, with Governor
Heard and the guests in the center The
auditorium was crowded.
While some minor speech of welcome
was being made General Wheeler, who
had unexpectedly arrived in town, en-
tered the hall and slipped round to the
stage. He brought small campchair
in his hand, and slipping through the
wings, took a seat at one end of the
reception committee. He was a very
slight man and was not In uniform.
His appearance passed almost unno-
ticed.
Down in front, however, was one of
Wheelers former colonies of Confed-
crate cavalry. himself fire eater of
early days and still devotedly attached
to his old commander. When General
Wheeler entered. the old colonel began
to clap, but no one joined him. He
stopped and glared about Indignantly
at the spectators. A moment later Gov
ernor Heard rose to speak.
eve have with US this afternoon"
he said. waving hand toward Admiral
Schley and Colonel Mcclure, 1.-TWO dis
tinguished guests"
This was too much Tor the old caval-
ryman. Pounding on the floor loudly
with his cane, he rose from his seat.
Whats the matter with Wheeler"
he demanded. whats the matter
with Joe Wheeler"
At that some of the audience caught
sight of General Wheeler, and began
to applaud The general rose, smiling,
and bowed an acknowledgment. The
leader of the band awoke with an in
spiration and started the beloved
strains of Dixie" The cheers which
followed were deafening.
When quiet was restored, and Cen
eral Wheeler had been brought to Il
seat in the center of the stage, Gov
ernor Heard resumed his remarks He
was too clever a politician and too
completely master of such a situation
not to have his words ready.
Il said two distinguished guests
advisedly," he said, suavely, again in
dicating the two, for General Wheel
er is one of u.s.
And then the audience broke out
again in a cheer beside which the first
was as nothing, while the old colonel
of cavalry sat back in his chair and
sighed happily. He had found out what

You never find truth by losing the
