DIRT ROAD BUILDING.
How 20 Mako tho Roadbed Solid anu

In the construction OF new road
through an open country the usual
custom has been TO excavate bitches
with the road grader and throw all
the material into the center OF the
roadway, thus making what is often
called u turnpike. The objection to
this method Is that the most important
part OF tho roadbed. the foundation,
Is composed largely Of soft material.

in that study the nearer will he get
to the hearts of his people. both In

The Christians Two Sufficient
Guides-John 16. 1.16; Rev.
% 1921

John 1e. 1-16. The opening words
of this chapter carry us back to the
preceding chapter, the 18th, and fol-
lowing verses. Jesus is admonlshing
his disciples regarding prosecutions
that would come upon them, and
showing their source In the eternal
conflict between the Spirit OF Christ
-"the Comforter, whom l Will send
you from the Father"-and the spir-
it CT evil in the world, whose lines Of
antagonism were slowly drawing
about the Master, seeking his death.
And he tells them plainly, in verse
twenty, ''If they prosecuted me, they
will also persecute YOU" And these
things they will do because they have
not known the Father, nor me-"
The words of the lesson are to
hearten those who might waver in
the hour of trial They give promise
of victory, both because being fore
warned his disciples shall be fore.
armed, and because the departing
Master promises the Paraclete, who
shall supply the place made vacant
by their separation from their Lord.
The Holy Spirit shall minister unto
them and reveal the things of mine"
Here, then, is the promise of the
future spiritual leadership of Christ
through the Holy Spirit. These facts
are patent: The Holy Spirit "will
convict the world in respect OF sin,
and of righteousness. and of judg.
ment." AS ambassadors on behalf
of Christ, we labor not alone (verse
81 The Holy Spirit shall guide
into all the truth" He shall enlight
en- the disciples of Christ, and guide
in the untrodden paths; he shall speak
from God and shall reveal the future
(verse 13.) The Holy Spirit shall
glorify Christ (verse 14) Clearly
Christ teaches that this same Holy
Spirit shall be with us until he comes
again (verse 16)
Rev. %. 1921. We have here the
word Of the Lord magnified. Doubt.
less the verses refer only to the book
of Revelation in their injunction re-
garding adding to or subtracting from
the record. But the Christian con.
sciousness of the ages has applied
the truth to the whole of revelation.
Gods record which We know as the
Bible is a complete Word.

Influence is TO be measured, not by

but the man of genius, who leaves

Dr. r. A. Torrey tells a beautiful

Fervor is half the work. task we

Suggestions.
We should have no committees that
are not alive, and we should have as
many committees as we can keep
alive.
Each member should be on some
committee, and on a new committee
each year.
Diligence" is from the Latin verb
no choose" and always diligence
goes with delight.
Your committee work is valuable
when 1t is little hard for you; If 1t
is easy, go on to another kind of com.
