What is our Bible? 1t is man in con-
Gact with God 1t is mountain-top
vision. 1t is Sinai, Hermon, Calvary,
Ollvet and Patmos. 1t is God stirring
en- the hearts of earth's lowly. 1t is
the shepherd being shepherded, and the
potter being nodded. 1t is the wall of
the penitents 1t is the hand of doubt
appealingiy stretched forth and made
into the hand of faith and action by
the grasp Of that OF the fatherly AL
mighty.
1t Is light. 1t Is the music OF the
spheres-sung in the darksome places
of earth. II is the earth cry Of the uni
versal heart and the heaven answer of
the suffering compassion and the eter-
nally glad. 1t Is the united hallelujah
of the pilgrims of the night moving
into the light of everlasting day. 1t
is God and man coming to blessed
understanding.
The Bible has been, Is, and ever
more shall be. These great facts are
beyond the reach of any molester. They
are of the inner neutrality-suspicious.

Friendship, this beautiful relation Of
life to life, soul to soul, Is Of most Sc
rious import. 1t sometimes makes oul
warmest friend In reality our worst
enemy. Bad qualities In friend are
false lights-they lure to evil. Many
of us are constituted so that 1t Is easy
for us to form friendships. Let us be
careful Of those thus brought under
our influence and power. Let us keep
them unsoiled. Let us feel that grave
responsibilities lie in our friendships
and that they also enshrine glorious
opportunities.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on It's back, says the New York Press.
Many animals sleep on their sides, but
most sleep prone-that is, face down.
Dogs never dream when prone, but In
varlably do So when sleeping on their
side. All Of us from the country have

his sleep. An animal would be per
fectly helpless If it slept on Its back.
And so Is man helpless in that position.

sermonIess Sermons.

II the church abandon tho sermon,
Il abandons direct instruction of adults
Even the churches with the most elab-
crate iiturgies have never yet done
chat. They have always recognized
that the people should not only be call
ed to worship, but that they should
also be given reasons for worshiping
and counsel that might SUSTAIN them in
their faith against the trials and temp
tatIons of the world.
To ask people to attend church ser
vices without instruction and devoted
wholly to prayer and praise would be
like asking them to attend political
meetings at which there would be no
speeches, merely to hear the band play
and the quartet sing and see the can
dldates sit on the platform.
The sufficient answer to all such silly
suggestions is that the preachers who
really preach-who realize that 1t is
neither necessary nor desirable now
adays that a Christian minister should
be q scientific summarizer, or literary
reviewer. or an art critic, or "socio-
logical investigator, or anything but
Just a preacher of the Gospel Of Jesus
Christ to sinful men, never lacks for
hearers
The preacher who presents that Cos
pei full and round, with its bones of
positive doctrine as well as its flesh OF
aspiring emotion, and who presents II
with the authority which belongs to ev-
cry man who breaches because he can
not do anything else without feeling
himself a false man and a traitor to
the truth. has no need to ask why men
do not come to hear him.
They are here, hanging upon his
words, taking his thoughts into theil
souls knowing why they are there
and glad to be there, because they FIND
there the food for which they are hun
cry and by which they are made stroni
