DEVOTIONAL LIFE
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Christians Should be Christians
At All Times
"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING"
The Apostle Does Not Mean That
Every Moment of Our Lives
Is to Be Spent In
Prayer.

The Rev A R. Moore preached at the
First Christian church yesterday morning
10 a large audience on THE Devotional
Life" taking his text from the First
Thessalonians, fifth chapter, seventeenth
verse: Pray without ceasing."
DR.. Moore spoke in part as follows:
Our text calls us to the devotional life.
The apostle certainly does not mean that
every moment of our lives is to be spent
in prayer, for much time is spent In eat
ing, more In sleeping, and still more In
business 1t would be impractical not to
say impossible, to spend all our time In
saying prayers. What he means is that
we shall make It the rule of our life to
pray constantly. or habitually. Make
prayer an unceasing practice of the life.
Life is pictured under many different
phrases We speak of our home life, pri-
vate life, public life. business life, pro-
fessional life, religious life, etc. We some
times treat these as If they were sepa-
rate and distinct One man refuses to al
low his religious life to interfere with
his business. Another is a perfect gentle
man in his public life, and a perfect bear
in his home life. Another is honest with
men but dishonest with God, Another
treats religion as a sort of convenience
to be used on special occasions, or as
fine clothes to be put on for Sunday pa
rade An old time darkey was very re-
lgious on Sunday, but very busy In the
service Of the devil on other days, On one
occasion his master said to him; "Rastus,
l thought you had gotten religion" Dat
I has masteh Dat I has" "Well, them
how Is that you still visit the chicken
roost, and swear and lie, and do a great
many other evil things?" well, mastah
you see Its dis way: Ise got religion and
Ise got de harness on; but steps out and
does these things and den / steps right
back agin. But | sho Is got religion,
mastah, for Ise got de right harness on. =
Perhaps the old darkey will be excused
in the last day for he has many examples
of that sort of thing from those who
know better. Religion should be the foun-
dalton of all our living. 1t should pene-
trate and permeate every phase OF our
life.
Life Is Force.
But some people do not live; they mere
iy exist Life is a force, a power, and
he lives not who does not direct this
power to some useful end. Devotion means
affection, conservation, application. 1t is
derived from the word that means to
make a vow. A man vows to do this
or that, and so devotes his life to the
doing OF that thing,
To often we devote our lives to low
ends, There is nothing more beautiful in
childhood than the devotion of little
girl to her family of dolls; or the devo-
tion of boy TO his dog. This is beautiful
because II is natural. The children are lit
tie men and little women. Their toys and
pets are TO them the symbols Of real life.

But when we see grown-up men and
women giving their time to dogs. toys and
games we cannot help but feel that they
are missing the real aim in life. And when
these things become a passion with them,
and they literally devote their lives to
them, we cannot help but feel that they
are living for low ends.
The devotional life Is a religious life
u is not inconsistent with any honest and
worthy calling. A Christian ought to be
a Christian at all times and under all
circumstances. No matter what his earth
ly calling this is his divine calling and
he should be so devoted to his Master that
he will truly represent Him on all &C.
casions
The devotional life is a life of prayer.
That is, it is based on prayer. We believe
in a God who hears and answers prayer;
therefore, In all our undertakings We
should in prayer ask His guidance and
help. 1t is a life of faith. We walk In
this world not by sight. but by faith.
Faith in God and faith in man constitutes
the very warp and wool of our lives
Therefore, he who lives not life of faith
lives neither for the glory of God nor
the good of mankind. II is also a life of
meditation. BY this l do not mean a
hermit life, or an idle life of dreaming
But the Christian should be the most
thoughtful man in the world To him
life is so full of meaning. of beauty and
of opportunity. To live well he must
think on these things.
A Life Service.
But the devotional life also means
life of service. 1t cannot be content with
believing, with praying and with think
ing. II must give itself to action. Paul is
an illustrious example. He said II am
ready to preach not the gospel of Christ"
II was more abundant In labor than they
ALL" Restless, full of nervous energy and
power he must go to the very ends of
the earth In order to spread the truth
savonarola is a striking illustration of
this truth. Educated for the cloister, he
could not be content within its walls, He
must break forth and call a wicked city
and nation to repentance and reforma-
ton of life. Livingstone, not content with

nature and in full view of the COM
merce Of the Great Lakes as it moved

cation of teacher, which profession he
followed for five years. He then en-
tered the University of Michigan at
