foam. After a while he drops In his tracks. Poor fellow" people say. He died q martyr to his work" Oh no, not that. God did not call that young min ister to break himself down. God docs not expect any one man to do the work of ten men. Better hold up, Christian worker Better dine with Paul i'll the Alexandrian corn ship. God wants you 10 care for your physical strength in or der to be able to do his wrok well. If Paul could afford to care for his body, you can afford to care for yours.
 He Told the Truth.
 But there was another reason why Paul gripped the sailors of the Alexandrian corn ship. He did not deceive those sail ors in reference to their rescue. He did not say: Now, men, Just follow me, and trust in me, and all will go well. l will give you plenty to eat and a smooth sea and a quiet voyage" Nay. That was not Pauls way. He said: Men. put your trust in Christ. You are to have a hard battle ahead. You think the seas are rough now, but they are going to be far rougher. They are going to batter us about until we become a helpless dere- lict Then they will fling us upon the rocks, and this great ship is to be knocked into kndling wood But out of the struggle and the storm God Is going to bring us safely to land. Now, men, If you trust God, you must be prepared to meet this struggle" Thus Paul spoke And thus all gospel evangelists should speak when they are pleading with men and women to accept Jesus Christ.
 You cannot make a good Christian un less you are willing to battle with storm for Christ and struggle against almost insurmountable difficulties. The life of

Love and a Little House.

From the San Francisco Call.
 Dan Cupid has proved himself non sympathizer of union strikers by riding on a local street car and his presence as a passenger on one of Patrick Cal nouns vehicles in the Richmond dis- trict a few afternoons ago was the cause of more interest to the other occupants than the finding of bomb on the track would have been. Cupid's coming was totally unexpected. too.
 On one of the seats In the forward un- inclosed section of the car were seated together well dressed young man and a neatly gowned and pretty girl, whose con versation. as overheard by neighborlng passeneers, was of the merest common place until the big refugee camp in Thir- teenth avenue came in sight, It was just here that Cupid, unexpected and unseen dropped aboard.
 ''I ,ots of people still living in these lt- tie refugee houses" casually remarked the young man.
 asscnted his companion. "T don't see why thej shouldn't be. though, for they are such cozy little places.'
 Could you be happy In a little house like that?" he demanded, and by this time he was looking directly Into the face beside him. all unconscious that every ear around them was strained to catch the answer
 'Y-e-s," sNe faltered. T think could"
 "With me?"
 "Yes"
 'I can't make it go with a big one. but I can-yes, with a little one like that l can. Will you?'
 This time the answer was Just nod and rosy blush.
 The motorman stopped the car without orders and two passengers got off with out a word
 O. you dear little houses" cried the girl, stretching her hands toward them.

A Gospel to Live By.

But there was still another reason why Paul captured the minds and the hearts of the sailors of this Alexandrian corn ship. Paul was a man of gospel vsions but he was more than that. He was a man of fine Christian common sense. He knew that the religion that was not fittal for a practical. everyday, commonplace life was no religion at all He believed in gospel to die by, but he also believed in gospel to live by. He believed in that practical gospel firmly that he tried to get the men to care for their physical bodies and to look after their physical strength.
 Here. for instance is a mother She has four or five children. Scarlet fever, one of the most dreaded of all nursery diseases. enters her home. First one child comes down. then another and an- other and another. This mother is not strong at her best. but she is so devoted to those children that she never sleeps outside of the sickroom. She never un- dresses except to take her bath. For weeks and even months she is up night and day. Her hand must give the med icine. Her hand must cover up the in- valids. The doctors and the friends see her breaking down. They say: "Mother, you must stop. You must take your rest. Other nurses can sit up during the night. You will break down" "No, mo-" she answers. "No one must nurse my chll- dren but myself" After u while she pulls her last baby through. Then she falls in dead faint. They undress her and put her to bed. but it Is too late. The poor weak pulse flutters and stops, The mother is dead "She is a martyr to her children" the neighbors say Is she martyr? No, emphatically no. She died because she did not have any common sense. Other nurses could have taken her place while she rested Other nurses could have taken her place while she ate Now that she is dead no ono else can take that mothers place. Wo- men beware. Paul Is bidding you look after your health, Better join Pau, for a little while in the cabin of that Alex andrian corn ship and eat your bread and look after your physical strength. Your children need you In the years Ia come even more than they need you now.

spiritual life and say: Here, you must change. In order to do right for the fu- ture you must rectify this wrong of the past" Are you willing as friend to point out to your friends the weak nesses of their lives, as Paul warned the sailors of the Alexandrian corn ship?
 A Story of Edward Livingston.
 For my own part l can think of no greater joy than that which would come to us if wo were to go to those we love to warn them of their sins and weaknesses, which are threatening to destroy them. There is a beautiful story tolC about tho great Edward Living ston. Perhaps he was the greatest of all the great men who have borne that family name. But few men have been greater from worldly standpoint than he. He was representative in congress, mayor of New York city, United States senator from Louisiana, secretary of state and minister to Franco. One day in his old ago a friend said to him, Senator. what was the supreme moment of your life? Without moments hes itation, he replied Some years ago that supreme moment came when I was delivering an address at the dedication of the Masonic temple at New Orleans. l was speaking on the duty of man loving man. Among other things Sdiu. My DFetHreD, naVe you Sedrcneu your hearts? Do you find any lurking animosity against a brother? Have you the felicity never to have cherished or are you 80 happy as to have banished all envy at his prosperity, all malicious joy at his misfortunes? If you find this is the result of your scrutiny, enter with confidence the sanctuary of union. But if the examination discovers either rank ling jealousy or hatred long concealed, or even unlindness or offensive pride, l entreat you. defile not the altar of friendship with your unhallowed offering, but fin the language of Scripture, First be reconeiled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift" As a result of that plea, two brothers whom we all knew who had been estranged from each other for years, arose and rushed toward each other and with mutual sobs flung themselves Into one another's arms"
 Do you wonder that Edward Liv ingston looked upon the victory as the supreme moment of his life? With the firm, gentle touch of friend he placed his finger upon the weak spots of two brothers lives and said: Here, you must change. Here, you must be purified. Here, you must be true to your nobler and better selves" Cannot we do thus toward those who come in contact with us in life? Shall we not cease to make IL our first concern to please our friends and try rather to benefit them? Shall we not be true to those who are about us by warning them of the mistakes of their past lives as Paul did with the sailors of the Alexandrian corn shin when he said: "Sirs. ye should have hearkened unto me and not have loosa1 from Crete and to have gained this harm and loss
