strong churches, those to which We have been wont
to look for leadership. have not to the front

reason is tOleraby clear; it explains large part OF
the alienation of the working people from the church.
and it indicates point at which some vigorous self
criticism and reformation must begin in the church

New York a Honeycomb

all the retail merchants will follow the lead of some
institutions IN New York and establish entrances

the housewife will leave her home in the country one
hundred miles away, travel to the city in an hour

without once coming to the surface from the time
she leaves her home until she gets back.
Not only will these tunnels be used for passenger
transportation, but many of them, like those in
Chicago, will be devoted exclusively to freight
Pneumatic tubes, like those which carry the mails
from the post office to the railroad stations will
be installed everywhere for the transportation of
merchandise, This complicated system will prac-

But already the first six years OF the
present century have opened up vista of
possibilities which if realized will dwarf the
record of the nineteenth. The discovery of
radium alone has shattered the most cherished
theories of chemistry and physics, and gives promise
of still greater discoveries in the future which will be
of lnestlmable influence on humanity. The widest
dreamers of century ago never conceived of any
thing so astounding wireless telegraphy, now

Honor is the principle of your life.
Someone asks me why is il then that
so many of those people who are mem
bers Of the church will do deeds at
times which they would certainly not
care to have known. l simply repeat
that Honor is the principle in the life
Of those who have found God ,andwhose
lives are controlled by Him, and if
your life and my life do not meet this
standard then we have not been Who'll
ly successful 10 our endeavors. There
for / have to say--Let us so live that
whenever the searchlight shall be
thrown on our works honor will be
seen to have been the principle Of our
lie. Therefore l say TO you If you de.
sire TO attain to the honor which can
never be consumed, That is impersh-
able, you can well do it. At times the
way will be arduouS. but in the midst
OF it all, follow Christ. The religious
life has to do with coaduct, i. e. what
you do, as well as what you say Let
Christ ever be your Model.

Therefore in the life of the kingdom

IN TOUCH WITH NATURE

o. land of the still and silent.
0. land Of the sheeted snow,
Grant me share of thy solitude,
While the sands of Time run slow;
For | am worn with the stress of ife
It's clamor and striyings vain,
Ambition s ranking crown of thorns
And Efforts cross of pain.
Give me the balm of thy fir-trees,
Olors OF cedarsand pine,
"A couch Of resinous hemlOck.
And air like a rare old wine:
And so shall my soul find healing,
While the harper Wind sings low,
"Who shares in the peace of Nature,
Wins glimpses of heaven below"

can serve two masters" Have you
not noticed that there are so-many
people who go right through life with.
out any purpose whatever. They loud
ly complain Of the injustice Of God,
when their own thrftlessness is seen
by every Que Of their neighbors. They
convince themselves that they have so
much harder times than the people
among whom they live. But you
may learn lesson from their lives.
They are absolutely purposelesS.
Therefor to you l would say, What is
your object in life? Do you have an
object? What are you aiming at?
Have a purpose true, and never for
I one moment permit anything, or any
body TO place you on the side track.
Now that l am speaking OH this
point Of an aim in life, i won d ask
the question, What is Ia name? In
the old times mans name practical
ly revealed the mans character. You
know well for what the name Of Jacob
stood. So long as he remained the de-
ceiver his name remained Jacob. But
there came TO him. as there comes to
every other man, a crisis, when the
angel of God met him, and then he
fought the greatest battle Of his life,
and ever after he had true purpose
in it. 1t was then that his name was
changed to Israel, prince with God.
Let your name stand before all who
know you for your true character.
Whatever work you may be called to,
or wherever you may have TO gO, may
your purpose be firm in this that TO
the world your name shall stand for
purity. In every sense of the word
Keep yourselves pure. Let all your
actions be controlled with this pur-
pose, for even men Of the world respect
this characteristic In whatsoever soul
J"ey see it. The men OF the world
read us as some Of us read an open and
mHch loved book.
There will ever be advancement in
| the real sense wherever there Is the
true purpose. Then there will come
the temptations TO all sorts Of things.
Let your purpose also be that every
inch of your development i'm life shall
be by the road OF truth. 1t is com.
mon for some TO abstrusely argue that
there are times and conditions when
it is right TO speak other than the
truth. The works of Kingsley have
taught me also that half lie Is ever
the blackest. The ethics Of Jesus
Christ make no concession on this
/ line. Veracity is to your character
what diamond is to the ring. Ver-
acity is honor.
Permit me TO instance one other
item which according TO this chapter
belongs 10 this life. namely. Calmness
of Poise. This shows itself in free
dcm from worry as 10 how the work
is going TO come ont. In stability.
You have taken your stand, and being
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-06-02

sure that you are right you do not
then change your mind every day
Ii is said of one man that he would
take seven hours out Of eight every
day in talking about his work instead
of doing the work; Do not always be
on the fence, Do not always. try TO
ing to please every body. Do the
right which is ever your duty. Never
mind if you do offend S me people FOR
you will be better without them.
Note your President--It seems TO me
that when he sees wrong he does not
try TO go around it for fear of Offend
ing some one, but seeks to remedy 1t.
In the hour of trial keep calm, for
calmness is victory. Have perfect
control Of yourself.
The finding of the kingdom OF God
carries with it the righteousness of
God. Note, not the righteousness OF
this or that church member, or this or
that close friend, but of God. Right
eousness Nhich is able to look all the
the world in the face. Oh my friends
this means much communion with
Christ, much reading OF His
word, and much prayer. The science
and art of reading the Word, and
prayer are well worth your effort.
"And all these things shall be add
ed unto you"-Of course this means
all that is necessary to make your life
what it should be. l may however be
allowed TO say a word on some points,
simply using the latter part Of the
text for suggestion, not for strict
eXegesis.
1-Usefulness. 1t is God who gives
you the gift of beng useful. AS you
know it may be said with perfect truth
Of some that thev have never been
known to do useful thing. or to have
been of real service. OF course this
will meyer be said Of you if you live
the God controlled life. No lazy
people are christians. No doubt there
are many who think they are, but |
cannot easily change my opinion on
tAis point. No lazy man is a christ
ian. We are saved not to die aud go
TO heaven, bat to live and work and
be of real service i'm the world.
2-Certainty. AS to the essential
in religion l count as one of the bless
ings added TO the one living the God
controlled life. The atheist NAV not
believei in the existence Of God, or the
agnOstic may not know any thing
about Him. There are also spiritual
experiences so profound which when
spoken OF only excite ridicule. We
may be asked TO prove that God exists,
or demonstrate our prOfessed eXper-
fences, but we cannot do it, Not be
cause these experiences are merely
psychological deiusiOns; but because
some Of the profOundest truths, and
deepest soul experiences are incapable
Of logical demonstration, We know
that God is. We know that in some
marvellous, yet mysterious way. He
lives in us; that our souls have been
touched with the divine: that for ever
more the human and the divine are
absolutely inseparaDle. 1 say-whlle

The result is incomplete digestion,
