atoning blood. Fill up your water pots to the brim.
 But, lastly, I remark that we should have a faith brimful enough to believe that God can as readily answer our pray CTS today, this hour if we will only ask him, as he can answer them next month or next year or in the dim future after we are dead. Those servants who filled the water pots did not suppose that Je- sus was going to turn that water into wine by slow fermentation so that 1t could be bottled and stored away In the eel lars. What they wanted was wine at once Thus. as God can answer the pray CTS of his people at once if he will, can there be any better time for us to ask for an increase in our faith than just now? Have you the kind of faith which I have been describing? Do you ask big things from God? After you ask big things are you willing to go forward ex- pecting that He will answer your re- quests? And have you faith that Christ can redeem your dear ones, no matter how low they may be sunken in the Quag- mire fo sin, as well as cleanse your own sinful heart until 1t becomes white as the driven snow7 Do you believe he will do all this if you ask him now, even now, just now? Jesus saith unto them: Fill up the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim." Will you even now expect divine blessing which comes from brimful faith?

Humors of War.

From Success Magazine.
 During the civil war the commander of a marching detachment looked along his line scowled at It's irregularity, then shouted aloud: Close up! Close up, you fellowsl Why, if the enemy were to fire on us now they couldn't hit damn one of you" Another commander, while a battle was in progress, came upon a straggler, who was running away with tears streaming down his cheeks. My man, don't be a baby!' the general re- monstrated. thinking to shame the rene gade. "Boo-hoo! Wisht I was a baby and a gal-baby at that" was the answer that showed him the case was hopeless. That is less humanly amusing than the answer of a guileless lieutenant, who, with half company. had been captured and paroled by the ubiquitous John Nor gan. Upon reaching Federal territory, the lieutenant made haste to report to the nearest post commander, who, after duly welcoming the newcomer. said: Tell me how all this happened. Were you sur prised?"
 ''Surprised A heap worse'n that tell you, I was plum astonished to see them gray fellers. I was, fer a fact. colonel" the lieutenant answered, with the air of one who fully covers the case.
