ed to in our text, the failure to under
stand the words of God was not due to
any defect in the voice of God This
is shown by the fact that many reec
nized the sound as voice, while a
few knew it to be the voice of God.
The fault lay with the people to whom
the sound came. And this is true ia
every case in which God speaks to
man and man fails to respond to
God. Not every one can recognize the
voice of God when He speaks. There
are certain conditions which must be
fulfilled before this is possible. We
must have meek and teachable spif-
1t. 1t is only those who are in sym.
pathy with nature that have revealed
to them the secrets of nature. 1t is
only those who are spiritually minded
that can apprehend spiritual things
The natural man receiveth not the
things of the Spirit of God. neither
indeed can he know them because they
are are spiritually discerned" God
hides spiritual truth from the wise and
prudent and reveals it unto babes. II
you would hear the message which
God would communicate to you, culti-
vate the meek and ,childlike spirit.
If we would undertand the deep
things of God, we must constantly live
according to the truth which we al
ready possess. Only by the faithful
practice of the Word of God does its
message unfold to us in all its full
ness. What then? II God speaks; II
He speaks for our sakes; and if GER
tain conditions of soul are necessary
in order to hear His voice; then it
follows that we are responsible for I'M
Outstanding the Divine message to the
extent that we comply with the condi-
tons which make such a result pos
sible. Man, in large measure, makes
or mars his destiny The power to do
SO resides in the human will. When
purpose becomes action, and action
becomes habit, and habit becomes
character, destiny is fixed. What shall
that destiny be to you? Said Jesus: ]
am the light of the wrold; he that
followeth me shall not walk in dark
ness but shall have the light of life. "
Are you walking in the light? Have
you the abundant life in Christ Jesus
If not, come to the fountain and drink

BANKING FACILITIES

are so indispensable to the modern bus
mess man that he would not dream of
trying to run his business without a
bank account. The old way of counting
out silver and paper currency to pay
bills belongs to the dark ages. Mis-
takes were made and disputes arose
both about payment and amount. Now
he writes check for the sum, which is
undisputable proof, both of the pay
ment and the amount.
