 How can we learn HIS WHIP By His word which teaches His will and ex- nlain& His. commandments; and when Geds minister speaks he brines us @ aoa msssage. because he bears Gods What is Gods will? what does He say to uaz His frst command Is. Wor- snip Me That Is why we build ship. whSfs we seek the sspTs pressncs n soo of God. We go to church to give honor and prnise to God Church rofn& ia not . matter of choice or fancy: ft is
 Gods connAnd h .'Thoa shalt wor- ship the Lord in tho beauty of hoH- ness. One may say, '"I do not get any good by going to church; do not like the preacher nor the serviee That has nothing to do with the matter. You have duty to do. and you alone can d0 It. Yeu must worship God in His holy temple. He tells us to do this Shall we not answer. What the Lord saith unto me. that will do"
 and not only in church. Much of our time Is spent in the world in our work our business. or our calling, whatever that may be-; And we must worship eyer before us repembering always Thou God seest me" We must do ali as unto the Lord: and live, speak, work. as servants of Christ. A true Christian is as much Christian in thA hay field or barn. in the market or in workshop. as he Is In church.
 To each comes the command, Son, 80 work in My vineyard" True re-. hgion means service--doIng. not talk fru Fn Ri mYn .H..a I..- ness. serving the Lord" We are not all gifted alike, but we are all ex- pected to make use of what we have to the glory of God. Every one has nands an ironelad. another is the stoker who makes the engine fires !: both are necessary. and the one as iTn- portant in his place as the other. The operation to save the life of the pa tient. but the nurse who holds the bandage and makes 1t fast Is just as necessary. .E
 So 1t is in the service of God. We cannot all have ten talents, but we do It willtAgly--God will not have us as slaves. We, must be willing to go where God sends us, and to do what He tells us. We must not only ask, Teach am I; send me. Be the place lofty CT lowly: hard or easy I will serve Thee there,~
 We. cannot all be commanders or leaders, but we can serve God wherever our lot Is cast. God does not expect us to do more than we can. He dees not look for great things from us, but He does expect all to serve Him faith. fully. Wherever you Ind yourself you can pray for your family, your neigh. bors and yourself. and you can say kindly word to your Achievement you can dissuade a companion from drunk enness or dishonesty. You have talents enough to enable you to walk straight. tell the truth and keep pure You have talents enough to do your duty to God and to man. and that is all that He asks of you. "fIA hath. showed theA Q man. what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly. love mercy. and to walk humhlv with thy GodT'
 With meekness. humility and diIi- gence apply yourself. then. to the duties of your condition. They may hP seemingly little things. which make no noise and create no comment, but they do the business. It is not an easy life but Q glorious one; for day by day. if we faithfully do our part. we shall fulfll the purpose for which we were made. and become more and more like Him whoss whole life was spent iD duty and service.
