There is a faith of silence as veil

1T is the first step that COSTS
and breaking away from worldliness
is usually the first step in heroic
life
Both the worldling and the Chris
tian look for a reward; but the one
must have his at once, and the other
can wait.
Nothing is so tangible as a vision;
s.othing is so enduring.
Suggestions.
1t has been said that no hero Of his
tory has owed so much to his mother
as Moses did; but do we not all owe
as much TO our mothers?
OF the three periods, of forty years
each. in Moses life. the least event
full that in the land of indian. was
the most important.
Every Christian Of our days has a
burning bush better than that OF
Moses-the Bible.
Only an authentic record could re
late such wonders as Moses wrought
and at the same time make so eyi
dent the weakness of Moses.
Illustrations.
The rod was for Moses a portable
prolongation of the burning bush
Such, TO the Christian, are Bible pas
sages committed to memory.

AS an athlete must strip of his
clothes before he can contend for the
prize, so Moses left the court oi

crown.
The greatest leaders work with tht
most unpromising material, as th'
potter takes common clay and tht
diamond cutter takes what seems ar
ugly pebble.

HAND That Receives Gods Glrt.

It is very plain that what is nov
most wanted in the Christian world
is more faith. We too little respect
faith, we dabble too much with rea-
son; fabricating gospels where we
ought to be receiving Christ; limit
ing all faith, If we chance TO allow
OF faith, by the measures of previous
evidence, and cutting the wings OF
faith when, laying hold of God, it
conquers more and higher evidence.
Be 1t unto you according to your
faith, Is the true principle, and by
that the whole life state of the
church on earth always has been, al
ways will be graduated Increase
our faith, then, Lord!" and be this
our prayer.-Bushnell
