to minimize the Importance, the place
and the work of the church as
mentor and purifier of morals, a min
lister TO the social necessities of men.
q gatherer of men for the purpose
Of supplying that verve that comes
simply and solsly because we are a
crowd flled with the same desires
and adoring the same Lord. For
we must direct conduct and meet the
needs of man as a social animal and
recognize the value and the In
huence of the crowd.
But the call Of God first to His
church Is that she shall be eSperi-
enced In the knowledge of these in
ofiable and spiritual truths ont OF
which spring the impulses that make
for a godly ethics, a consecrated So
clety. a spirit-moved crowd, In such
measure and manner that she shall
be able to declare, dslineate and re-
veal to men with compelling power
that wisdom Of the saving Father to
know which and whom is life eternal.
That is to say that the call Of the
church frst-and all the time-is to
be q spiritual evangel.
Our duty IS to be true to this call

have chrcnically overrated its ability
to beat us. But we have no more
reason to be scared by sin than a
child has to be frightened by Jack
in-the-box.
The church can put sin to rout
when it gets into right relationships
with deity and into the proper sort Of
fighting clothes, or else God, who can
not lie, prevarlcates. He says we can

II is truly marvellous how the truth
of the Word of Cod is being vindi-
Gated by modern discovery against
the attacks made upon 1t by interest
ed critics. Few more exciting stories
have ever been told than that which
was narrated last week at the annual
meeting of the Palestine Exploration

that high places" of idoltarv have

exposed to our gaze.
Even more interesting is the dis

rision, as 1t Is now clearly shown
what the pillars" were. and how
easily a strong man could have dis

of these expert discoveries, believers

lied upon Imagination rather than

Humility in Successful Service. John
6. "A, IS; Luke 10. 1922; Ps. 1o1.
Jesus came to be King, but he
would not take the name of king from
those who could see no further than
the loaves and fishes. That would
be to take pay for his lifework, when
the one supreme teaching of his life
was that kingship is in giving. not in
getting. His humility was the genu-
inc humility of the royal soul. Titles
did not attract him, because he came
to give distinction, not to get 1t.
Every servant of Jesus Christ has
his trlumphs in doing the Masters
work The kingdom comes, and some
times we can see that we have
helped it to come in our little circle
But we shall spoil our joy in 1t II we
take the triumph as personal. 81 did
it. is sure sign that the victory was
not complete. BE glad that the king.
dom conquers, and be glad that you
are helping, but be gladdest of all be.
cause you are In the kingdom; your
name is written In heaven.
The psalmist Is going to be good
So he will Nput away wicked things;
he will have no dealings with the
wicked in their works, he will dis
courage the sanderer, and he will re
luke the proud. Why? Because all
these would spoil his purpose of good
ness; the proud as surely as the
otherwise wicked. Pride has many
aspects: high look. deceit display,
self-praise, exaggeration mot to say
lying), ard similar marks of wicked
IL n a.
selllshness is sin, and sin when 1t is
flr.shed bringeth forth death So is
there no room for pride in the heart
that purposes to be good.
Isn't 1t remarkable how much the
Rible says about pride? Now, pride
is one of those forms of. evil which
lawmakers do not recognize. You
may be, as the saying goes. "as proud
as Ltcifer," and the law has nothing
against you.
But God has. For nride is one of
the most effective weapons in the
whole armory of sin. 1t defeats all
the purposes of God. 1t takes his
greatest gift. the gift Of personality,
and makes of 1t q god. And no idola-
try Is 50 demorallzing as self-worship
Humility is not degrading. but en-.
nobling. 1t makes great service pos
sible. He that humbleth himself shall
be exalted. in that he shall do work
for God that shall make him great.
Humility cannot be achieved by
those who would use 1t as a stepping
stone to greatness. 1t must be per.
manent attitude of the soul, IF thou
wouldst find much favor and peace
with God and man. be very low in
thine own eyes: forgive thyself. little,

same way, or the yolk of the egg may
be beaten with a little sugar, two
tablespoons of grape juice added and
the white beaten stifly and put on
top.
Matted milk ice cream may be
made in half hour using the milk

Gospel Truth the Instrument Of Re-
Vival.

The great historian Lecky has, in
a noteworthy passage in his famous
History of England In the Eight
eenth Century" declared that the
secret OF success of Methodism was
merely that 1t satisfied some of the
strongest. .and most enduring wants
of our nature, which found no graft
fication in the popular theology; that
It revived a large class Of religious
doctrines which had long been al
nos. wholly neglected. The utter de-
pravity of human nature, the lost
condition OF every man who Is born
into the world. the vicarious atone
ment of Christ, the necessity to sal
vation of a new birth, of faith, of the
constant and sustaining action Of the
Divine Spirit upon the believers
soul, are doctrines which In the eyes
OF the modern evangelist constitute
the most vital and the most influ-
entail portions of Christianity, but
they are doctrines which during the
greater part Of the eighteenth CEN
tury were seldom heard from
Church of England pulpit.
Every student OF the period knows
that the wide and simple preaching
OF these doctrines OF vital personal
religion developed that nobler life
which saved England from decay

The fashionable Color.

The recent recrudescence of light
blue which is neither azure nor sky,
but just light blue, is very hard to
bear, Its popularity is due to a fal-
lacy that 1t suits the English type
Of beauty. Apparently 1t is quite for
gotten that this type is no longer
blond. and it is only the blond OF

can wear pale blue with impuhity.
