THE NAME CHRISTIAN.


asked and hoped for.
THE NAME CHRISTIAN.
Text: The disciples were called
Christians first at Antioch"
xi 20.
1t was almost ten years after the
Savior left the earth before the name
Christian was given to his followers.
1t was needed because the converts of
Antioch became numerous; they con-
sisted Of both Jews and Gentiles. It is
evident that they were a separate party
from the Jews; and their enemies,
whether they were Greeks, or Romans,
or native Syrians, needing new name
for the new sect, called them Chris
tians,' because the name Christ was
prominent in their conversation, doe
trine and worship.
The name Christian is indeed very
appropriate to the true disciple of
Christ. 1t is name in which all dis
tinctiOn of Jew and Gentle may be
lost, and one that can embrace in it's
broad, significant and definite meaning
all Of every nation who would become
converts of Christ. It IS a name that
should reveal to the world the life and
character of those who bear it.
The Christians manner of life should
be worthy the name that he bears.
"a Christian when he makes a good
profession should be sure to make his
profession good" There should be a
visible harmony between profession and
practice. The Christian is watched by
the world. No hawk watched a spar
row with more intent malignity than
the world does the Christian. The
wicked are not surprised by the mis-
steps Of the infdel or the man of the
world, but they expect something differ
ent from the Christian.
Christians have protested more than
others and the world may justly expect
more from them. They have promised
to keep the commandments, to obey the
gospel to love one another: to be lust
and true and kind to all; to pity the
miserable; to forgive their enemies
to live not for this world but for the
world to come. They have professed
to take Christ as their example-to
live as he lived. They have promised
all this solemnly. They have vowed it
unto the Lord. That VOW is as solemn
as an oath. 1t is only by Christians
doing more than others that true re-
ligion is kept alive in the world. Take
away the bright examples of good men
and true piety will soon die out Of the
world. Christians are the salt of the
earth and the light of the world. If
the world is ever saved it must be done
by the people Of God. There is no one
thing that stands in the way of the
conversion of men so much as a lack
Of confidence in the sincerity of Chris
tan professors.

RECOGNITION IN HEAVEN.
Bv Rev. H M. Wharton. D.

Text: For now we see through a
glass, darkly but then face to face ;
now 1 know in part; but then shall 1
know even as also I am known."-I.
Corinthians xiii. u.
We are in the habit Of thinking
heaven as a floating something's base
less fabric that has no body or founda-
ton. Heaven is a place just as much
as this earth is a place, and more so,
for heaven is eternal, and this world
shall be destroyed. You know heaven
is spoken of as the Eternal City, whose
maker and builder is God. 1t is spoken
Of sometimes as a better country, and
we are pilgrims passing through a
strange land on our way to that better
country.
The inhabitants of heaven are people.
I know there are angels there, and
blessed spirits, perhaps Of whom we
have no account in Gods word, but we
are sure that among the inhabitants of
heaven are people.
| think one Of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of heavenly recognition
is this: Jesus Christ is the first fruits
of the resurrection. Now, If he is the
first fruits of the resurrection, what
do you understand the other fruits to
be? Some Of you have lived in the
country. Suppose some one came to
you with a bundle of wheat and said ::
This is the first fruit of my harvest
would you think the balance OF the
harvest was oats? No; you would ex-
pect the balance to come pretty we'll
up to the sample.
But look at other things in the scrip
ture Every one of us must give an
account of himself to God, and don't
YOU suppose you will be identified when
YOU stand out and give your account.
Furthermore. he says something like
this is going to happen up there. He
saws some of us are coming before him
and he will say, Il was sick and We
visited me, thirsty and We gave me
drink" and that we in our own proper
persons will say, Lord, when did we
do these things?" and he will answer,
"Tnasmuch as We did it unto one of the
least of these my disciples, We have
done It unto me-" Does not that look
rs if YOU would be known? My sister,
do not believe that you have ever
given cup of water to pauper child
that Jesus Christ has not treasured it
nm and will remember it and tell you
about it that day. o, blessed thought
Who does not want to love such a

one. but if we should get rain enough

THE WIDOW SPOILED 1T
Pensioner of Marshall Field Who

Marshall Field was a pension list of
persons to whom "a stated sum was

these he was generous, but he dis
liked being imposed upon. One man,
who had in some way impressed Mr..
Field with his deserts, had a check
each 80 days for $25. relates Youths
Companion.
He had gone far from Mr. Fields
memory. but remained on the lisa.
His pension made him quite "an ELI

lived, and at last he yieldeu> to the

day. wen just be having your pay
raised. You can't keep two as easily
as you can one. Mr.. Field is a rich
man, and he will understand that.
You go down and tell him you need
$50 month now"
Away went Henry. and after much
argument and persuasion obtained ac-
cess to the inner Office OF the great
merchant, where he stated his case.
Mr. Field became interested at once.
"A widow. eh?" he inquired. smil-
ing. Did she ask you-or you her?"
We'll, sir" stammered Henry, Il
guess she did lead up to it."
How old is she?"
About 40, sir"
Did she support herself?"

house. l boarded with her. l DO yet

"Ah, yes" said Mr. Field. $50 you
want a raise, do you? Let me see
how much was your pension? Twen-
ty-fve dollars? Well, you won't have
to pay any board now, so suppose we
make it $3.50? That Will keep you in
