Rest In Christ.

Coming to Christ, we enter into the
rest of faith. The very act of trust
brings tranquility. even when the per-
son or thing trusted in Is human or
crteatural, and therefore uncertain.
For to roll the responsibility from my
self. as it were, upon another brings re-
pose; and they who lean upon Christs
strong arm do not need to fear, though
their own arm be very weak.
The rest Of faith, when we cease
from having to take care Of ourselves,
when we can cast all the gnawing cares
and anxieties that perturb us upon
Him. when we can say, Thou dost
undertake for me, and leave myself
in Thy hands," is tranquility depeer
and more real than any other that the
heart Of man can conceive. Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose mind
is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth
in Thee"
Cast yourself upon Christ, and live
in that atmosphere of calm confidence;
and though the surface may be tossed
by many a storm, the depths will be
peace subslsting at the heart of end

in phraseology each time 1t Is uttered
If the first come from the heart ana the
latter from the head. Some one thus
confesses and questions and deduces:

But do ever pray!
And do the wishes Of my heart

Words without the heart

Nor will He to- those lips attend
Whose prayers are not sincere.
Spiritual forces are all about us, per-

electricity. The power of godliness is
the concentration Of this energy with

Because hypocrites exist is no reason

warning to evil doers of hope to af-

more" Although ministering to the
self-complacency of the speaker, it
ministers to no one else. The form OF
godliness lacks substance. The flimsi.

the shadow of death is to be trod.
1t has no light to shed when man

The power of godliness is profitable,

that which Is to come. Its possessor

SHE WHO HESlTArES is LOST.
Girl Who Wants Time to Consider
Sometimes Loses.

There is a Philadelphia girl who
has learned that so far as proposal
is concerned he or she who hesitateS
is lost. A very eligible and estimable
young man had long been making 1t
evident that his attentions to her were
serious, and the other evening he
made formal declaration. She could
not even put forward the orthodox
ruse about the suddenness of the pro-
posal
Being of rather vacillating turn of
mind, she said she could not give him
a decided answer. II am not at all
sure that | love you" the girl de-
clared; you must give me time to
think about it," Considerably taken
aback by what he considered her lack
of decision of character the young
man agreed to wait week for her
final decision.
So the wooed but not yet won maid
en- went to her bed that night ponder
ing deeply. About - o'clock she was
awakened to receive Il telegram,
which read: "You need not mind
about deciding that matter until next
week; I've found girl who said yes
tonight. "-Philadelphia Record.
