when the ark of the covenant of the
Lord came into the camp all Israel

the earth rang again. It matters
little for our purpose what was the

Suggestions.
The thought of Gods sleepless
eye is terrible one to all that hate
Him, and a very dear one to all that
love Him.
God sees thoughts as we see deeds:
that thought should keep us pure.
God watches--but so must we. How
often Christ urged thisl
God is sleepless that we may sleep.

Men that keep watchers sometimes
need watchers for the watchers; but
God, our Watcher cares more for us
than we for ourselves.
The gods of Greece and Rome slept
sometimes or were busiest with their
own affairs; not so ours.
A watchman is not only for guard.
ing but also for an outlook, and to
announce the coming of blessing or
harm. This also God Is to us.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER I.
Learning in the School Of Christ.
Prov. 4. 1-9; John IA. 25-21


Prov. q. 10; John IA. 1881.
/. There is a school for the moral
and religious life. We must first
recognize that .. is q real school,
that it has problems of pupils. sub
ject material. methods, ideals, instruc.
tions, and that there are different
grades in moral and religious train.
ing. The church, the Sunday school,
the young peoples societies and jun

the home. are included In this school.
2. There Is no contradiction in ed
ucation in religion and conversion.
This is the one real vital point of
the theme. U There was the
Jewish ideal-instruction in wisdom
with a view to right living-learning
to do the will of Misunderstanding
the ways of Jehovah both in mind and
heart. It was this school that the
sage Of the Proverbs commended to
his children. No Jew would fail to
educate his children in things religi-
GUS (2) There is the Christian
ideal. We have no ground in saying
that it excluded the Jewish. It rath-
er includes and supplements it, fill
ing it with the blessed experience of
communion with Christ. There is a
feeling among some that education
in religion precludos the Holy Spirit
in conversion. Would 1t not be saner
to say that no education in religion
is complete unless the child is so
trained that at some crisis in his life
there will sweep into his heart the
wonderful transforming power OF the
Spirit OF Christ? Further, who dares
to shut up the Spirit of God to one
event in the religious life of a child?
Christ's plan for the Spirit was that
"He should teach all things and bring
all things to our remembrance.
3. Our attitude must be that Of
a learner" We must attend to
know understanding" We must al
so keep in mind that the Holy Spirit
was promised to the disciples on con-
dition that a certain moral quality
should be found in them, namely, "He
that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth
me; and he that loveth me shall be
loved of my Father, and will love
him, and will manifest unto him"
