Christ In the Old Testament.
The study of Christ In the Old
Testament is exceedingly profitable.
In Genesis He is described as the
seed OF the woman: in Exodus as the
Passover Lamb" in Leviticus. the
hish priest: In Numbers, the smitten
rock and the uplifted serpent, and in
Deuteronomy the person of Moses.
All of these typify and set forth the
person and work OF the Lord Jesus
Christ. Rev. Madison Peters. Bap-
fist.
Quest for Wealth.
The young man who is playing
with the world of chance Is binding
his eyes to the fact that manhood
alone is the true riches the imper-
ishable wealth. Fine moral dlstinc-
tions are lost in the pursuit OF
wealth. The line between truth and
treachery, between infidelity and
faith, In the empire of business, be-
comes more and more indistinct.--
Rev. George w. King, Baptist.
Self-Sacrificing Life.
We are never to forget that all
the tender humanities which char
acterize our civilization spring from
the teachings and example OF Jesus.
The old world had sometimes caught
a ray OF light, but only in the light of
the cross do men see justice and
mercy as the law of life. There self
sacrifice finds It's highest exponent
and henceforth Christian love is to
claim its right rule In every life
Rev. William Baudel, Lutheran.
Working With the Lord.
The Lord is pleased to make use
of us as His instruments, nothwith-
standing our personal infirmities, or
rather because of them: THE fool
ish things OF the world hath God
chosen to confound the wise, and the
weak things of the world hath God
chosen to confound the strong. and
the base things OF the world, and the
things that are despised hath God
chosen, and the things which are
not, that He might bring to nought
the things that are, that no flesh may
glory in His sight. Rev. William
Clark, Baptist,
Lives of ReckIessness.
Present day recklessness in the
production OF human beings cannot
go on without sure and direful re-
suits. The tendency of modern Gull
ture is TO childlessness. The novels
and the slums swarm with children,
There's your problem. Any high
school boy can give you the answer
We glory in this Christian feeling,
and rightly. But 1t is only the half
of destiny. II is one-half, which is
to tenderly protect the unfortunate.
AS far as It goes it is beautiful, di-

dist.
Give and Give CheerfuIly.
The habit of giving, giving indie
pendently of whether one has much
or little, tends to produce that state
of mind to which st. Paul attained
when he said. II have learned In

rect their gaze inward, center their
thoughts upon themselves. confine

appreciation, give for their own
souls sake.-Rev Thomas Hester.
DIR. Frank Cranes Epigrams.
The word temperance is used
about FIVE times in the New Testa-
ment, and in every instance means
self-control.
The most perfect result of the
Spirit OF God in man is self-control.
That is what Paul means when he
says: THE fruit of the Spirit is
temperance.
Life Is the most complex of all
things. and therefore the ultimate
virtue is the power of adjustment.
Man generates within himself GER
tain forces, called loosely passions,
desires, volitions; If the play of these
forces is volcanic they are vices. If it
is regulated and constant they are
virtues.
Small Beginning of Evil.

genesis. The white lie makes the
liar: the exigency that puts its hand
in the till made the embezzler; the
innocent game of cards in the Chris

so-called moral play the immoral
freuuenter and lover of the low
