Bond Issue League met at the Com
mercial Club last night and complet-
of the bond issue campaign. They

though we stand
On death-divided shores,
Love still can stretch to us its angel

Longing For Peace.

You say that for many years you
have been praying and longing for
peace and abiding rest Of soul, and
that it has somttimes come for a
while, and then has gone, leaving you
darker than before; and yet you do
not know anything in your life to
keep you from God. You are Gall
unconsciously) resting in feelings, not
in faith. Remember that the true or
der of the Christian life is-frst,
Gods facts about Christ as our per-
sonal Saviour; second, our faith In
Christi. and then, and only then,
thirdly, our feelings or experience as
the result of our faith in God. Now,
if we everse this order we get into
spiritual difficulty and depression. 1t
is sometimes said that for n look at
self we should take ten looks at
Christ. I would rather say that we
should not look at self at all, but be
ever occupied with Christ. Rest alb
solutely in Gods Word, and keep IN
that attitude of trust, whether you
have any delightful feelings or not.
IF, as you say, there Is nothing Of sin
between you and God, just rest abso-
lutely upon His Word; and as you
cling by simple faith to His sure
promises, abiding peace will surely
come. Joy and peace In believing"

What Led Him to Jesus.

DR.. R. A. Torrey tells a beautiful
story of a man in Chicago who had
a sweet little daughter. He loved
her dearly, but God took THAI little
child away from him. The house
was so lonely, and he was SO angry
against God that he went up and
down his room far into the night
cursing God for having robbed him
of his child. At last, thoroughly
worn out, and in great bitterness OF
spirit, he threw himse!' on his bed.
He dreamed he stood beside a river.
Across the river in the distance he
heard the singing of such voices as
he had never listened to before. Then
he saw in the distance beautiful lit
tie girls coming toward him, nearer
and nearer, until at last at the head
of the company he saw his OWL lit
tie girl. She stood on the brink OF
the river and called across, Come
over here, father" That overcame
his bitterness; he accepted Jesus and
prepared to go over yonder where
his sweet child had gone.

The Cod of the COMMONPLACE.

"And the servants Of the king or
Syria said unto him, Their god is a
god of the hills, therefore they were
stronger than vel Kings 1923.
Most people find it easier to believe in
the God of the height than in the God
Of the plain, in the God Of miracles
than in the God of the normal. 1t is
the very quietness with which God
moves around us that makes His
presence unnoticed. It Is the calm
daily flow of His benevolence that
makes us forget His benefits. If He
came in the thunder and the whirl-
wind, our souls would thrill with
worship, but when He is a still, small
voice, we do not so much as listen.
God Is the God of the commonplace.
He is found in the valley as well as
on the height, in the humblest as well
as the most heroic environment of life
or nature or duty; and If we do not
meet Him in the valley, we shall not
find Him on the hills. He is with US
in the path Of daily duty-a strong

Influence.

Influence is to be measured, not by
the extent of surface it covers, but
by its kind. A man may spread his
mind, his feelings, his opinions,
through a great extent; but II his
mind be a low one, he manifests no
greatness. A wretched artist may
fill a city with daubs, and by a false,
snowy style achieve a reputation;
but the man of genius, who leaves
behind him one great picture, in
which immortal beauty is embodied,
and which is silently to spread a true
taste in art, exerts an incomparably
higher influence.
Now the noblest influence on earth
Is that exerted on character, and he
who puts forth this does a great
work. The father and mother Of an
uunoticed family who. in their seclu-
sion awaken the mind Of n child to
the idea and love of perfect goodness,
who awaken in him a strength OF
will to repel all temptation, and who
send him out prepared to profit by
the conflicts of life, surpass In in1u-
ence a Napoleon breaking the world
to his sWay.-Channfng.
