What S Christian? This is some
thing more than being a Churchman.
1t lis a larger world tnan any denom-
national name. A man can be a
Catholic, or an Episcopalian, or a
Presbyterian, or a Methodist, or a
Baptist, without being a Christian;
and a man can be Christian with
out being any one of these. A creed,
a sect, denomination is simply the
parapharnalia with which men would
dress Christianity, but it is not
Christianity itself. That individual,
that sect is narrow and bigoted to
deserve serious consideration who
would at this day attempt to shut up
the saving grace of Cod to their
own little clique ard clan. 4 Christ
ian is d man who believes in Christ as
his Savior, who loves God and his
fellow mamie is the one who goes
TO the original source for his life and
hopes of Immortality and not to any

Pentecostal Herald.

A heart need not be full of vicious
ness and gross iniquity in order to be
unclean. It's uncleanness may take
a more refined form and consist in
pride, which so closely allies itself
with self-respect; anger, which so
frequently is COMPOUNDED with
righteous indignation; ambition,
which looks so much like laudable
desire to he in position to better
glorify God; self-wlll, peevishness,
fretfulness and such like. A pure
heart is free for these.

The courtly bearing of a true
gentleman is inbred, and the amen
itise of life are forsooth, naturally
extended to plebian and lord like,
as the true distinction of his spirit
and creed; but his imitator with
the nebulus circle of the polar
cline enclosing his heart, and his
anatomy draped in the latest togery
who gives humanity the basilisk
stare, is fearful of his presumpt-
ious footing in society, is lost to
the graces of gentility and should
seek his level 'mongst the rabble
from whence he came.

forestation must grow apace with
the country's growth. The wooded
wilderness is everywhere receding
before the ak and saw. The great
loss of life and destruction of prop

added to unusual drouths, will of
themselves become powerful factors
