so wide its mouth for the food
brought to it by its mother.
The birding, has hunger, it has
faith in its mothers love II feels its
utter helplessness, and especially
does all this make it open its mouth
very wide. And such are the con-

Il am the Lord thy God which
brought thee out of the land OF
Egypt open thy mouth wide and |
will fill it." Psalm 81; 10, was
the text last Sunday morning from
which the truth was impressed
that God is calling his people to a
loftier standard of christian expert
ence, and that he is able and will
ing to satisfy the very largest capa-
city of the human soul with spir-
itual blessedness. And when we
now consider the grand promise in
this text, the power and willing
ness of the Promiser, and the
simple condition of obtaining the
boon, it is marvellous
that every christian is not always
in the enjoyment of the fullness
Of the blessing of the gospel of
Christ"

THE PROMISE

The spirit filled life." Some
times it is spoken of as the second
blessing or the full salvation, or
Sanctifcation or holiness. Jesus
terms it life more abundantly.
but it is substantially the same at
tainable experience. And how
sad it is that it has been carica-
trred by spurious claims, or dark
ened and made invidious by the
Authorizations and decisions of
cranks who with pharisaic pride
thank God that they are not as
other men. !"
1t means the experience of the
disciples who on the day of Penta-
cost were filled with the Holy
Spirit. Previous to this, Jesus had
given them the foretaste only,
when he breathed on them and
said receive we the Holy Ghost"
1t is contemplated also in the
prayer of Paul for the Ephesians' (,
that they might be filled with all
the fullness of Cod Such ex-
periences are not imaginary but
blessed reality, and multitudes in
all the centuries have lived in the
enjoyment of such spirit filled lives.
That it is not all delusions is evil
dent when even such giants in in
tellect and level headed men as
Jonathan Edwards, have at times
felt such an extasy in the soul,
that they have prayed God to re-
move his hand or else give them
strength to bear up under the
weight of glory That such ex.
perience is perfectly reasonable is
evident when you consider the
power and grace of.

their respects. there were no visitors
and Mr.. Bryan was enabled to dispose
OF some Of his most Important cor
respondenCe.
AS yet he has not begun the prepar-
alton of his speech of acceptance. and
probably he will not do so until Mr..
Tafts address is delivered. The Ques-
ton OF whether he Will mako an ex-
tended campaign tour is one which

belief is general here that he con-
templates the delivery ~ number of
