to-day are between brothers, and
some day the vast brotherhood will
be permanently organized.

some day prevail. 1t is not an ought
unless it is a possibility, and if a
possibility it will become a reality.
A clear, definite opinion of what
ought to be is the token of what can
and will be. Mans fondest dreams
will be fully materialized. When
man thinks God'sthoughts and carries
out Gods purposes the impossible
will be achieved. ''Things that are
impossible with men are possible with
God" Men must become partakers

'Ye must be born again." and with
Nicodemns in bewilderment we may
inquire "How can these things be?"
Mathematical men like Philip never
will calculate until they reach a dem

Andrew will be working the miracle
OF the impossible. The burglar who

the early evening hours. until he
shall go forth to ply his vicious trade,

able to explain the mystery, but it is
true-and that is the program of
Jesus!
Two young men came together
n a clerk in a shoe store, the other
a clerk in a bank. Humble men of
no notable talents. One can teach
and talk a little, and the other can
sing with persuasive voice. These
two willing souls completely surren-
dered to God, and consecrated to the
service and upbuilding of humanity,
began a career, which increased in
power and effectiveness until multi
tudes were awakened from letnargy
and sin by the singing and the
preaching of the gospel. Again. the
weak things of the world were ;hak-

Moody and Sankey became the great-

John and Charles Wesley. And the
impossible was achieved.

A mar in'the crowd answered back:

great Massachusetts statesman cried
out: "Impossiblei Impossible! Moth

And so let us keep near the cross.
The battle of the ages was fought
there, the freedom of the race was
there achieved. Nothing is impos-
sible on the Hill of the Cross-on
CALVARY.
