Endeavorers, arouse you to the bat
tie! God is waiting 10 bless in the
bringing in of many, but the practical
work must be done by Christian men
and women. If the young people of
your community are reached for God
you will be the instruments used to
accomplish that end. AS to methods,
never mind how; only do something,
anything that will bring you face to
face with the problem of reaching the

and so continue till your soul is ON fire

HEALING BALM.

hEaLiNS Dthsas
"The little sharp vexetions,
And the briars that catch and fret,
Why not take all to the Helper
who never has failed US yet?
Tell Him about the heartache,
And tell Him the longing. too.
Tell Him the bafied purpose,
When we scarce know what to do.
Then. leaving all our weakness
With the One divinely strong.
Forget that we bore the burden,
And carry away the song"
There is a lot of help in just carrying away
the song" that should never die out In the heart
of the true Christian. There Is a lot of help In
just being serene and helpful and cheerful in
| the face of every trouble. DULY the serene soul
attains to the highest degree OF victory in this
life. Fretfulness is weakening and invites
defeat. Gloominess and dependency under.
mine the spiritual life and create fear and doubt.
Cowardlce results from tiistrust of ones self.
and actual morbidness leads even TO distrust In
God
After all, many of the troubles of life are
more imaginary than real, and real troubles
| have hard time of 1t trying to down one of a
cheerful spirit A sense of honor often helps
out aIgood deal when trouble comes TO the
front. incline to the belief that God has given
us this sense to cheer us up under many of our
trials and to Keep some of US from fsinting aud
falling by the wayside. Humor has Its place In
every wholesome and happy life. ADD the best
way to cultivate this Saving grace" is to think
only Of the pleasant things of lite and to let
the troublesome things Ego hang as far as
possible.
No quality of the Christian life is more essen,
| risl than pure joy-tbe joy of living. the joy of
faith in God. the joy of service the joy of VIC
torious achievement. And who should know
more of all these joys than the children of God
who are working for him? Joyfulness, hope.
fulness-these are real Christian duties. There
Is healing balm In His word for all who read It
Alright and believe 1t means just what 1t says.
