Cheap method, superficial endeavor
and questionable procedure are, to
be sure, dazzling temptations. APP
parently they take the kingdom OF
Heaven by violence and bring 1t in.
Really they are sorry apologies for
a true accomplishment, which is, first
of all, in the implanting of will, a
disposition.
He that believeth shall not make
haste! "The sower and the reaper
shall rejoice together" The man
who sows a spirit and the man who
reaps a harvest are fellow sharers IN
a common joy!
If Jesus is judged by the harvest
ing Of His life, He has small tally!
Two hundred souls, only, embraced
His faith when He gave His life for
the world. But If any true measure
ment attempts to estimate the real
ization of His life, and He Is judged
by the sowing of His life, then, In
deed, does He appear as a master
workman. He buried spirit in the
heart of the world which has been In
the world ever since, with its ever
recurring seedtime and harvest. He
is known among men by the splendor
of His will, which abides, rather than
by the incidents of His work, which
are glorious memories of the past.
The will and the work. these two;
but the greatest, the most harvesting
of these is will, for, after all, ut Is

whose hearts are stayed on Him and
through Him reach loving arms to

Some of the most precious lessons
of love and trust were taught me by
poor invalid upon one of the first
charges to which | was sent. She
was dependent upon her friends, was
a constant rheumatic sufferer. and 4
confirmed consumptive, She was a
sanctified Scotch Presbyterian. and a
monument of the power of Christ
love to soothe and cheer in suffering.
While disease stuck envenomed
fangs into her flesh her soul was ever
in a transport Of joy. OH" said
she, Il have not pain or a priva-
ton, | have no suffering or sorrow
but Jesus is sharer"
Surely He hath borne our griefs
and carried our SORROWS; yet we did
esteem Him stricken, smitten of God I,
and afflicted. But He was wounded
for our transgressions, He was
bruised for our iniquities; the chas-
tisement OF our peace was upon Him;
and with His stripes We are healed. ="

The Blood Of Christ.

Have we outlived the efficacy of the
blood of Christ, and is the tale of His
Cross a sound from which all the
music has gone forever?
We need the sun to-day, as we have
ever needed it; the wind is still the
breath of health to our dying bodies;
still we find in the earth the bread
without which we cannot live; these
are our friends of whom we never
tire; can it be that the only thing of
which we are weary Is Gods answer
to our souls deepest need? Shall we
keep everything but the blood of
Christ? Shall the Cross go. and the
sun be left? Verify. as the sun with
drew at the sight of that Cross, and
for the moment fled away, he would
shine never more were that sacred
tree hewn down by furious man.
The blood of Christ Is the. fOun-
tain of immortality! The blood Of
Christ, it makes the souls summer
warm and beauteous! The blood of
Christ, it binds all Heaven, with its
many mansions and throngs without
number, in holy and indissoluDle Sc
curity! My soul, seek no other
rosy My lips. speak no other song
with which to charge your music! My
hands, seek no other task with which
to prove your energy l would be
swallowed up in Christ, | would be
nailed to His Cross. | would be bap-
tized with His baptism. | would
quail under the agony of His pain
that | might triumph with Him in
the glory of His resurrection.

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
Of solid flesh is now NJ longer as
prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion Is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
