| ner, ove whom We have tried and
failed, of his absolute dependence
upon the God who gave him life.
The whole power of the body of
| Christ must be exerted to save men.
Too often men are unconvinced
because of our non-appealing presen-
tation of the truths of the Bible
story. Unto all people must the
church of the twentieth century ad-
dress herself. To all men must the
gospel be preached.
But this gospel of the Christ is not
merely a system Of ethics, not merely
a scheme of life. 1t is more St.
Paul tells us that he is mot ashamed
| of the gospel of Christ, for" says hes
lit is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that %believeth." Through
it we know not only what God expects
| Of US, but we have a knowledge OF
the nature of our heavenly Father,
| Christ came to preach the kingdom,
The outworking in practical life OF
the principles Of the kingdom will
make such conditions as we have dis
cussed impossible.
With the entrance of Christ into
the heart man will become right to-
ward God. Being in harmony with
| God he will be in harmony with his
brethren. Let us apply ourselves.
then, s~teadfastly to spread the gospel
of salvation.
The gospel of our Lord and Sa-
vior Jesus Christ is the urgent, the
immediate need of this world. With
in it's principles are contained the So
luton of all our most perplexing So
cial problems. Let us bring u wan
dering brethren back from the dis
tant country into the fathers home.
For ourselves fet us strive to attain
unto that perfectness which was IN
Christ. Enthrone Christ in the hearts
of men and the law Of love, which is
the ruling force in the kingdom OF
our God, will sway mankind. Then
will come peace and happiness and
10y. For then shall have come to
pass the beginning of the endless life
within God for US all.
Save men to Christ and you have
saved the world.
The church is confronted with the
most stupendous problem with which
she has had to contend since the days
of the apostles. But with the prob
lem God has given us the power unto
victory. His gospel is Jul shield, our
buckler, our guide. He doth lead,
we need but follow. Let US then as
men who are mot ashamed of the
gospel Of Christ" go forth to carry
that gospel unto every needy soul.
Let us live the Christ life that we
preach. Let the church, relying upon
the promises of our Lord, strike out
boldly into new fields. Praying for
divine guidance and trusting to the
omniscience of divine love, let US md
our duty and live up to it.
Lift up your eyes and look on the
fields, for they are white already to
harvest"
Are you ashamed of the gospel OF
Christ?

An Extensive PROPAGANDA.

There are five great liquor organi-
cations in the United States. These
five organizations are, of course, in
league, and usually supply men,
money and literature in every local
contest where there is a possibility
of the saloon being defeated. One
organization; the Protective Bureau,
so-called, is chiefly a distributing
agency for saloon literature, edited
by Cyrus G. Turner, with headquar.
tiers in New York. According to the
American Brewers Journal, during
190o-1905 this bureau sent out
fifteen different tracts, aggregating
more than 100000 pages. Most
of this is mailed directly to voters.
whose names and addresses are fur
pished by friends of the trade.

A Comparison.

The average rate Of license taxa
ton in 1872 towns of the United
States having a population exceeding
10000, is $685., as against an aver
age of SITS charged to similar towns
in Great Britain. If the comparison
be made with particular States or GER.
tain geographical divisions, the diff
ference is even more pronounced.
The average license duty in twenty
one New England cities, says the In
dependent, is ten times the average
rate in similar cities in the United
Kingdom. Naturally, the revenue
thus received is much greater in this
country than in Great Britain. In
the 1874 British towns having a popu-
lation of 10000 and upward, the pro-
leeds from this source is approx
mately s4,080,O00; whereas, in the
1872 American towns of the same size
1t is s3%6,975,000, or more than nine
times as much.

Not to Ourselves.

Every human life that fails tc
hear it's message and learn it's lesson,
or fails to speak it out, keeping 1t
locked in the silence of the heart,
leaves this earth a little poorer"
We cannot live unto ourselves. We
belong to Him. We are the servants
of every man we meet. This Is our
privilege, and IF we do It unwilling
ly," it is a duty. We must use OF
lose the truth. Our service is the
worlds claim on US, but we owe it to
ourselves to serve. No strong life
was ever Graded in a monastery.
The bread we break for men is twice
blest, and ours is the greater blessing

The "New" Theology.

There are two fundamental re-
spects in which opponents of the
new" doctrines fail Of truth First,
their conception Of sin omits entirely
the element of guilt incurred by V1o'
lation of the Law of God. "Sin is the
TRANSMISSION of the law" Il John
3:4). Second, their insistence on the
immanence of God in all mankind
applies to unrepentent sinners the
privileges and promises which IN
Scripture are reserved only for saints
redeemed and justified.
This confusion Of things which
differ lies at the root Of the errors set
forth with so much ill-founded as.
surance. Meantime, alas, the people
perish for lack of knowledge.-Lon-
don Christian.

result in an enormous saving, and, in
a great measure, prevent thieving.
Do you know that as many as six
thousand cities Of this country will
be supplied with these special
stamps? I've been informed from an
authoritative source that twenty-six
of the large cities will be honored to
the extent of having their respective
names woven into the design of the
stamp. Of course, the City Of Broth
erly Love is numbered in this list. In
other instances, the name will be
printed across the face Of the stamp
in ink."-Philadelphia Record.

Trading Quail For a Wife.

Quail are plentiful at Lake Nyanza,
and after being shared in the grass
by the natives they are kept in small
wicker baskets strung on a long pole
stuck in the ground. When a sufti-
cient number of quail have been col
lected they can be exchanged with a
neighbor-like coupons-for wives.

First Things First.

Lord Duferin had a servant who,
to please his master, tore down a rare
old castle that he might build a wall
around it. A little girl, who was
given a half-crown by her father,
spent it in order to get for herself a
purse in which to hold it. Wealth
will not pay US for spiritual delin-
quency. Environment is not merely
accidental, but to build ourselves into
it is presumptuous. Eternity cannot

wish to appeal. Wonderful is their
influence and to them be all honor.
The average self-supporting poor
man, however, does not care to feel
under any obligation to the richer
portion of the community for his
spiritual s%ustenance. He feels, and
all too sadly with some justification,
that the mission-the very name of
which is distasteful to him-has been
established so that he may have no
cause to intrude his unwelcome pres
ence upon the mother church. May
God speed the day when the church
will see her duty in this matter. The
poor, whose only sin is poverty,
whose piety is often more genuine
than that nurtured in a protected
home, should be given substantial
opportunity to worship. The Moody
~reviyals prove that the common
people respond eagerly and in force
to the appeal of the man in whom
they can see and imagine only love.
The common people heard Christ
gladly when the learned scorned
Him.
We often speak of the wilfulness
of those who listen to our d~iscourses
upon the duty of every man to ac-
cept Christ as the personal Savior,
and who do not heed Jul words. Cen
orally we console ourselves with the
thought that we have done our duty
at any rate. Perhaps we have. But
are we justified to say that Christ
has been rejected. May it got be
that the rejection has been, not so
much of Christ as of our presentation
of Him. Might it not be that another
man with a different personality, with
a different ann of expression,
with a something in his nature that
would bring him heart to heart with
