i church life. The members should count it a privilege to give of themselves. Another. thing, do not let mistakes dis courage. The devil will fight hard to gain his way and put temptation in the way. But if you fall be sure to fall face forward and to rise repentant and asking for more strength. The tempta- tions will decrease in this way and a year will show a great change.

This paragraph may be called Paurs parable of the builder The house built coin pares with a Christian life As there are two parts to every building-the foundation and the superstructure-so faith and works are two distinct parts of the Christian life. Faith is the foundation which must be laid by the master builder. Jesus Christ is the fundamental principle of a Christian life. He lays the foundation in every mans heart at his conversion. The man himself must take heed how he builds the superstructure thereon. There are two kinds of building mate rials-the concrete wood. hay and stubble or the spiritual gold, silver and precious Stones- Building with the concrete upon the priceless foundation laid by Christ is like putting a sod house upon a foundation of beautiful Carrara marble. One kind of material is infiammable. the other is not. There is a day coming when fire shall try every mans works His house will either burn down to the foundation or 1t will become more beautiful through the fire. He will either receive a re- ward or a loss. There is a radical and essential difference between Christians and Christians in their lives of service and their final rewards This reward. is not salvation-that goes with the foundation-it is an added laurel wreath or crown. There are five kinds of crown promised by the apostles. Paul speaks of the incorruptible crown for those who remain faithful to their first vision and do not let material things overtop them and the crown of rejoicing for those who are clannish and selfish but will bemet in heaven by those whom they have helped James tells of the crown of life which Is the business mans crown if he has stood for his principles through life. Peter speaks of the crown of glory for faithful pastors, Sunday school teach CTS and mothers, and Paul again of the crown of righteousness for all those whom the Lord finds ready at his com ing Are you living in a way to re- ceive crown of reward?- Several ex pressed promise to live a better Christian life
