only have we to cast out the anchor
of faith, but the anchor of hope also;
so that when these storm clouds are
upon US, when darkness surrounds
us, when ii seems as though the light
OF day would not show itself to our
vision we have to have the hope that
is born Of God, the hope that gives
happy outlook. 1t is so easy to be
discouraged and to let these expert
ences that are surrounding us damp
en- our ardor. The next is the anchor
of love for our fellow man: Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself.
This do" With that love God calls
us to service. 1t calls us out of our
selves with the love that makes US
want to go out into our city and
wherever We see one who needs us,
it makes US want to give Ourselves to
that one; and / tell you never in
Gods world was there city that
needed more redeeming love than
does this city of New York and
Brooklyn to-day. / have gone into
homes where the darkness of despair
was because no love was there. /
have gone into homes where mothers
and fathers have said: None cares
for US; no one will help us"
Don't tell me the world love us, be-
cause we, know differently. ] tell
you we have to have that love in us
that the Russian proverb says 'dwells
in the house of labor" There is a
reward for him who loves his fellow
man. Then there is another anchor,
and that is the anchor Of prayer. l
care not what a mans work or edu-
cation is, whether he is college bred
or has no education at all, but this
thing / am sure of, and that is, with
out prayer in your heart you cannot
make life worth what God is expecting
of il. Prayer is our wanting to get
near to God, wanting to tell God OF
our difficulties, our troubles, our per-
plexities, our successes, our ideas, our
wanting to ask for His strength and
guidance. We have to have this an
Choir when things are going wrong,
when the world seems dark and life
is weary. We want to have this an
Choir in God to give us courage to go
on our way, and If we have not been
doing right to help us to return and
through our fellow men serve God:
Let us cast out our four anchors:
our anchor of faith in God and our
fellow men; our anchor of hope in
eternal goodness; our anchor of love
in universal service; our anchor OF
prayer to God; and in so doing may
the blessing of God rest with you in
all your labors.

self.Conquest a Necessity.

Deeply, fear, does this age need
to take to heart the stern, memorable
necessity of self-conquest-not in
self-torture, but yet in earnest watch
fitness; not in extreme fasting, but
in habitual careful moderation; nor
in morbid self-introspection, but in
thorough and vigorous occupation;
not In enfeebling the body by macera-
ton, but by filling its hours of work
with strenuous and cheerful activity
and its hours of leisure with bright
thoughtfulness and many a prayer;
by these blessed means We, too, even
in the midst of the world, may attain
to the spirit which is dead to the
world; we may be keeping under our
body and bringing it into subsection;

A Meditation.

"Ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come unto you"
There can be no acceptable service
without this endowment. Even
Jesus must first be baptized with the
Holy Ghost before He could enter
upon His great mission.
The apostles, who had been in
Christ's school for three years, could
do nothing until they were endowed
with power from on high.
Mr.. Moody used to say that he
would rather break stones on a turn
pike than attempt to preach without
the indwelling and power of the
Holy Spirit. The great reason why
some of our young peoples meetings
are such drag is because its MEM
bers do not seek power from above.
To obtain this power we must
earnestly seek for it in prayer. III
We being evil know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your heavenly Father give
the Holy Spirit to them that ask
Him."
To obtain more power, we must
use the power already bestowed.
go in this thy might" the angel
said to Gideon-the might of the
promised presence. THE Lord be
with thee" AS he went he realized
the presence and power of the AL
mighty.
We must use this power in wit
Messing for Jesus. Il am no more in
the world, but these are in the
world" We are His representatives.
Let us not misrepresent Him.

Digging a Way to Heaven.

Bless God for the wilderness;
thank God for the long nights; be
thankful that you have been in the
school of poverty, and have under
gone the searching and testing Of
much discipline. Take the right view
of your trials. You are nearer heav-
en- for the graves you have dug, if
you have accepted bereavements in
the right spirit; you are wiser for
the losses you have bravely borne,
you are nobler for all the sacrifices
you have willingly completed. Sane
titled affiiction is an angel that never
misses the gate Of heaven.-Papker.

Stepping Stones to Glory.

When God saves US He does it not
alone for our good. but for His. He
expects US to work for Him and to
see that not one of His children is
turned away hungry or thirsty. Sac
rifice and unselfishness are the step
ping stones to glory and in my mind
the least of the work of saving a soul
is done when we have gotten the pen
iterit to open his heart to God. 1t is
the after-work that counts, the dis
play of the friendly Christian spirit
that shows the new convert that he
has friends on earth and in heaven.

No action by the legislature upon the lien
law question will be satisfactory to every
body. The legislators should consider sim ply
what is best for the state as q " hole. The
lien law was bridge over bad place. Ifthe
place has been crossed, the lien law has served
its purpose and is no longer necessary. Posi-
bly, the best thing at this time Ia merely TO
limit and modify its application.-Columbla
Record.
The above Is a sensible suggestion. The
present clamor against the lien seems 10 be
for the sole purpose OF allowing the land
owner TO control" somebody who is less for
tunate in the possession OF this worlds goods.
The present effort to legalize the classaca.

GAYS GONE BY.

Oh, the days gone byi Oh, the daJs gone ey'
The apples In the orchard and tho pathway
through the rye,
The chirrup Of the robin, and the whistle OF
the quail
Al he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over In the
days gone by.
ln the days gone by, when my naked feet
were tripped
By the honeysuckle tangles where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple Of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of the tru
ants wayward cry,
And the splashing Of the swimmer IN the days
gone by.
Oh. the days gone byl Oh, the days gone byl
The music Of the laughing lip, the luster OF
the eye,
The childish faith in fairies and Aladdin's
magic ring,
Tho simple, soul reposing, glad belief in ev.
erything,
When life was like story, holding neither
cob nor sigh
In the golden, olden glory of the days gone by.
