The writer of an article headed

for the heavy loss of f65, 900, shown
in the firms recent annual report,

The fact must not be lost sight

the country (England), and there is
no doubt that the taste for beer has,

So let us leave this fretting, and the thing

What Jesus Cared For.

DR.. j. Henry Barrows calls az
tention to the fact that Jesus ignored
wealth. along with social distinction
and office. These things attracted
His attention only as they might in
fiuence the people who possessed or
lacked them. He neither criticised
nor defended them. So far as He
was concerned man might as well
have had pile of rocks as a pile Of
gold. The poor man to Him was
rich ii he reached out his hands for
righteousness and the rich man was
fool If he sought to store IN his
riches for himself 1t was the man
himself whom Christ considered and
sought to save.-Baptist Argus

God is Not Discouraged,

We are oftentimes discouraged be-
cause we are so spiritually faulty.
We blunder and make mistakes and
fall so far short of our ideals. If this
is due to our negligence and wilful-
ness, then we need the fire and the
lash to bring us into line. But if
we are honestly endeavoring to lead
a godly life, if we are striving to at
tain unto the fullness of the stature
of Jesus Christ our Lord, if we are
bravely struggling to overcome the
warning passions within, then the
power of God is at our right hand to
comfort and strengthen. Like as
father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear Him.
For He knoweth our frame; He re-
membereth that we are dust"
Every honest effort put forth to
realize the Christ-like purpose, re-
ceives the Fathers blessing. Brown
ing sang truly: i" 'Tis not what man
does that exalts him, but what man
would do" God has placed our
ideals so high that we may have the
constant aspiration to attain. What
l aspired to be and was not comforts
me-"
Therefore be not "discouraged
about yourself if God is not, and the
love that made room physically for
the blind man and the leper, and in
tellectually for the stupid peasants of
Galilee and Samaria and spiritually
for everybody, even the thief on Cal
vary, has surely place of fullest
blessing prepared for you" = DR..
