CHRISTIAN eNDEavoR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning April II, 1909.


Beginning April II, 1909.
BY REV. s. III. DOYLE
Topic.-Risen with Christ.-Coi III. IA
Easter meeting.
In the preceding chapter of this book
The apostle points out the facts that
the Christian died with Christ verse
ROY, was buried with Him verse III
Ind also rose with Him verse III.
"Buried with Him in baptism. wherein
also We are risen with Him through
the faith Of the operation of God.
which hath raised Him from the dead"
IN the beginning Of the fourth chapter
he speaks of the practical side Of our
relation to Christ. especially as having
been raised from the dead with Him.
ssIf risen with Christ. what then?" he
seems to ask and then answers his
own question.
i. If risen with Christ, our aims In
life should be more exalted. IF risen
with Christ, seek those things which
are above, where Christ stitch at the
right hand Of God: set your affection
on things above, not on things on the
earth" The aim of the one who has
been associated with Christ In all His
works of redemption-in other words.
who has been redeemed himself-is to
be changed from earthly achieve
ments and joys to those OF heaven.
The aim Of the unregenerate. unre-
deemed man Is worldly. His desire Is
only toward the things Of this life
its wealth. its pleasures and its ambi-
tions. With the redeemed this is not
the case. He seeks to lay up treas
ures in heaven, to be rich toward God
rather than to possess the riches OF
this world. and II we do this our az
fection will be on the things in heav-
en- rather than the things of earth. for
where a mans treasures are there Is
railroad stocks our thoughts will be
constantly upon them. If our aims In
Mfe be to reach some political goal
our hearts viii be constantly upon
that, and II seeking heavenly things
our hearts affection will be centered
there, where Christ stitch on the
right hand Of God" This is indeed a
~consummation devoutly to be WISH
d." for many waste their lives on the
sriding toys Of earth and see not and
seek not the eternal joys and treasures
Of heaven.
2. II risen with Christ the secret
springs Of all our life are heavenly.
your life IL hid with Christ In God"
Christ Is In God, we are In Christ,
and therefore our lives are hidden in
God, the source Of all their power and
efficiency. What stupendous fact!
A stream cannot rise above its source.
But II the source Of the secret springs
in q mans heart and life be in God
how boundless the aims and opportu-
mites of his life! He can sing with
sincerity:
Rise, my soul. and stretch thy wings
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven thy native plaza
Sun and moon and stars decay.
Time shall soon this earth remove.
= Rise. my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
3. If risen with Christ we shall par
take Of His glory at His second com
ing. when Christ. who is our life
shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with Him in glory"

They Didn't Have to chanae.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
%spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Scotch Oats was as pure
and clean as possible and that it was
an ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so n%ourishing that every.
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Scotch Oats has been adopted
By many persons as their food on
which they rely for adding vigor and
endurance of muscle and brain.
This splendid food is packed in the
regular size packages and in hermet-
ically sealed tins. The latter espe-
cially adapted to hot climates.

PAINT FAULTS.

It is a common occurrence nova
days to hear a man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters.' This. however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure You are
getting pure white lead without test.
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However.
anyone can test white lead. National

NOT FOND OF PIGEONS
Mayor of Philadelphia Resents Inter

Rid Of Them.

Mayor Reyburn, who considers the
city hall pigeons a nuisance, and
would rid the building of them IL he
could. considers the efforts of the anti
cruelty to animals societies to prevent
the pigeons being driven out as med,

tic in referring to the societies.
Recently, while the mayor was hold.

Broad street and around the city hall.
The pigeons, evidently frightened by
the gongs, flew excitedly around and
around outside of the mayors Office
on the north side of the building.
AS the whirr of wings swept through
the room, the mayor exclaimed. half
smiling, but with an attempt at Sc.
riGusness:

As St. Louis LAWYERS Talk.

Circuit Judge Reynolds had an
bounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv-
ing, and a dozen American citizens
crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their excuse were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very we'll,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And 50 it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end

COOPERATION IN EnGlAND
Carried On On Colossal Scale and Has
Been Tremendous Success from
the Very Beginning.

Contemplation of the magnitude Of
cooperative merchandising in England
almost staggers N Cooperative
stores are counted by the thousands
there, and each one is a unit in a stu
pendouS whole. Years ago the then
comparatively few local cooperative
stores combined to establish a whole
sale, from which they could draw sup.
plies from first hands without paying
outside Intermediates any profits.
The movement was successful from
the start, though the beginning was
small. To-day that central establish
ment. owned absolutely by the local
co cooperative associations, is doing a
business of over $500, 600, 900 a year,
and much of the merchandise it sells
is comparatively manufactured!
This system virtually makes pro-
duccr and consumer one, and the en-.
tire profits Of the business go to
each IN proportion to his contribution
to the business. The tremendous
chasm between producer and con-
sumner. which costs so mucn to cross
in this country, is unknown in Eng
land. SO are mail order houses

OF our country retailers-unknOwn

more to embarrass big mail order
