personal INFLUENCE
Text; None Of Us Liveth to Him,
self.-Romans 14;7.
BY Rev. c. T. Wyatt, D. D.

Influence is as inseparable from
character as fragrance from flower
Every life exerts an influence upon
others either for veal or woe. This
thought of personal responsibility
for our influence is too lightly esteem
ed. But this moral obligation cannot
be evaded. AS the glowing iron radi-
ates heat so every life emits an in
fiuence. Every personality creates an
atmosphere. One bad man may be the
center Of corruption to the whole circle
in which he moves. Evil propagates
itself, so does goodness.
Abel being dead yet speaketh. His
simple obedience in the dawn Of history
has rung bells Of encouragement in the
far away periods, even to the present.
John Wesley has been dead more than
a century, yet the fire kindled in his
heart still burns. His body sleeps in
City Road Chapel. London. but his
dead arm rings tens Of thousands of
Methodist Church bells every Sabbath
morning. Our influence will never die.
How am I living? What kind Of an
influence am exerting? Are questions
which should sober us.
The faithful Sabbath school teachers
may leaven with gospel-truth young
minds that win control the destinies Of
the nation.
The parent win live in his child. An
intoxicated father came staggering
home. The ground was slSirted with
snow. AS he looked behind he saw
his little boy staggering What are
you doing SOM" said the father The
child replied: "Just walking in your
footsteps. papa" We are touching
other lives. "None of as liveth to him
self"
A pure soul unconsciously blesses
every life Il touches. While Gods word
says: zone sinner destroys much
good"
A legend tells us there once lived in
Europe a humble Christian Monk
whose life was devoted to good works.
SO worthy in the sight of heaven did
he become that IL was given him 70
choose whatever thing he most desired.
He prayed that he might be a great
benefit TO his fellows without being con-
scious of It. So the Lord caused a
blessing to come 10 those upon whom
the good mans shadow fell.
AS he went about his shadow fell
upon the sick, the discouraged, the
hungry and the cold.
Their wants were providentlally sup
piled. This legend has its p0phcation.
II we are Christ-like we II prove
a blessing to others, and when we are
dead others viii remember us and call
us blessed.
