When some little book comes to you and contradicts Gods word, pay no at tention to it-believe God This book of God will live when all that has ever been written against it will be for gotten. When I read a book I do not read the Bible in its light, but I read the book in the light of the Bible.
 Paul served God by doing the next thing. He was on his way to Rome to preach the gospel. He wanted to measure the power of the gospel with the Roman eagles. It was a noble purpose, but just now he is thinking more of the distressed and imperilled people on the ship, right at his elbow l believe in building air castles. The man who has not enough imagination for this will not build any other kind of castles. But looking forward to a grand mission should not keep us from doing the next thing, the thing at hand. If you have believed in Christ, the next thing is to confess Him If you know a disheartened soul, the next thing is to speak to him a word of cheer. Some of you Englishmen will remember the statue of St. George III LOuuOn- II lS an equestrian SIdIu6 of heroic size. St. George is just about to put spurs to his horse; the horses foot is raised just ready to start. I looked at it, but it was still just about to start. l came back weeks after, and it was just about to start. It was painful I wished for a whip or a dynamite bomb, anything to get them started, but there they stand forever. just about to start. I've been preach ing to a lot of St Georges statues for years in my Sunday congregations. They know what to do. but they never start; always just about to start. Paul started and was quick about it.
 Paul served God by being cheerful when everybody else was in the dumps. Paul went among them and said, Be of good cheer, I believe God and they cheered up, ate food and began to take measures for saving the crew. Happiness is more contagious than sorrow, health than disease, good

If I put down two ciphers. it becomes 100, and so on God is to be placed first, and when we in our nothingness are placed after him He is able\ to create tens, hundreds, thousands, mill lions out of us. But when we put self first, we remain nothing. An old col ored woman down south, who had never learned to read, was converted and came to her mistress and asked her to teach her to spell Jesus as her first word. When asked why, she re- piled that she thought if she could learn to spell Jesus first, everything else would come easier.
 ''The text tells of Ownership and Service. We do not belong to God be- cause we serve Him, but we serve Him because we belong to Him. I pity the man who seeks to be saved by his own character, because every human character is 50 imperfect, and the re- sulting salvation must be equally in complete. The man who depends upon his own character for salvation must be very short-sighted or a very great Pharisee, thinking a great deal more of himself than others think of him. A perfect salvation can come only through a perfect Christ.
 Paul served God in three ways. First by believing God. God had said there should be no loss of life in the coming shipwreck. He believed it in spite of eyes, ears and senses. The lowering clouds said, You'll go to the bottom The rocks said, We'll sink you The tossing waves uttered the same threat and the bowling winds said the same thing. The storm racked and leaky ship gave no other hope. But in spite of everything Paul believed Gods word. I once saw the sun go down in the middle of the Med iterranean sea. I saw it disappear, Tapped by wave, and a cloud behind it. But l didn't believe it. Sir Isaac Newton said that sun was 94,000.000 miles away. and I believed the word of Newton against the evidence of my eyes. This Bible is said to contain thirty thousand of Gods promises.

than evil There are times when we cannot have fun, amusement or pleas ure, but joy is always in place. l went to a marriage one day. There were flowers and music there. I went from tha wedding directly to a funeral. There were flowers and music there. Music and flowers were appropriate in both cases. Laughter may be as sa- cred as prayer. Surgeons laughter and prayers ran together without any sense of incongruity. In the midst of hearty laughter he once said to Rev. Wayland Hoyt: 'Hoyt, what good time our Father gives us; let us thank Him for it. and began a prayer of thanksgiving.
 T wish I could describe the delicate bonds which bound Paul to Christ. When God set him free from the bond age of sin he became willing slave in the service of grateful love. When you let Jesus set you free you will want to be His bondservant forever"
 In spite of rain, mud. chill air and moonless night, a fair-sized audience came to the Elks' theater for the even ing service. Dr. Dixon's sermon was based upon the beatitudes and was an earnest plea for a happy and healthy life. He illustrated the symbol of salt as meaning the life which tastes good, making an impression fla Vorable to genuine religion. Wit and humor, pathos and logic filled his ad- dress with power and light. Inciden- tally he paid an eloquent tribute to the member of the legislative council whose vote passed the Pace bill. Prob ably the strong passages in the ser mon were upon the temperance ques- tion. A large number expressed a quickening of interest in personal re- ligion. No one can go away from these meetings without an inspiration to better living.
 This afternoon at o'clock at the Baptist church Dr. Dixon will speak on Our Glorified Dead" In the even ing at the Elks' theater he will speak on The Cross and the Flag" in honor of ashingtons birthday.

appreciate our bringing the message to them. There the hands of multi tudes are stretched out as they beg the missionaries to come to them and tell them the story of the Cross The heathen are seeking entrance into the church faster, in many places, than they can be admitted. A missionary who had been asked to go to a certain place and speak the gospel to 250 people, who were wait ing to hear him, refused, For he said, if I went there, I feared they would ask me to organize a church. We should obey the command be- cause the time is ripe.
 'The doors of the heather world are standing open today. There are a multitude of young men and wom- en waiting to go in. We need not pray for more who are willing to go as we need to pray for the way to send them. The best manhood and the best womanhood of our land stands ready today. saying, Here am. l. Send me- And is the church turning her back and saying, You can't go, you can't go?' Shame on usl We ought to send them because of the vast wealth that Almighty God has given to this country. Our possessions today are estimated at a value of one hundred and seven bil- lions of dollars. The rate of in- crease in wealth is advancing every day. And yet, and yet, with all our fabulous wealth, the heathen are crying for the gospel and the only reason for our not giving it is that our purse strings are tight. In my humble judgment, if this country is ever destroyed it will be destroyed because of the luxury of wealth. Our salvation is the consecration of it all to God. We are listening to the voice of God and yet not needing His call, and all this time the heath en are going down to death at the
 rate of more than one a second without the knowledge of the Savior.
 Let us lay our gifts at the feet of the King and crown Him Lord of all"

SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL
 AMONG THE NATIONS
A Review of the Work of the Presbyterian Church.

Yesterday morning Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell preached on
 "Christ's Last Command" taking as a text the first part of the nine teenth verse of the twenty-eignth chapter of Matthew, "Go ye there fore, and teach all nations" Fol from the sermon which give an out line of the thoughts presented.
 The three and one-half years of Christ's experience have come to an end; the record of the Masters life has been made; the scenes in the garden, at the betrayal, in the judgment hall have passed; Jesus has been taken to Calvary, nailed on the cross, has died, was buried, and has burst the bands of death; he is going to the Father; before He goes, He wants to give one last command. Knowing Him and His character, we are not surprised when He says, Go teach all nations.' Why? Because All power is given unto me-
 There are two particular phases of the relation of the church to the Lord Jesus Christ. The church must be kept clean within and it is to hear the command of the Master, Go. teach Let us glance at what the Presbyterian church is doing in the way of fulfilling this last command of our Leader: 93S ministers in the foreign field 14s principal stations; 1700 outstations; 500 churches; sS5,- GOO communicates; 10000 souls ad- ded to the church last year; 59 hos pitals: 57 dispensaries, treating 5000 patients; 10000 students in our Christian schools preparing to give

the gospel to those in darkness. As we look toward every land and ask, 'Watchman, what of the night?' back comes the universal answer, The
 morning cometh, the morning cometh.' In Japan, in India, in Afri-
 ca, in Corea, the door is open. What about China? When we speak of China we ought to speak softly, for there is in our presence this morn ing a young man whose dear broth CT and that brothers wife laid down their lives in China in the Boxer up- rising for the cause of Christ. In that land, indeed, the blood of the martyrs is becoming the seed of the church Today as never before, China is reaching out her hands for the gospel of Christ. And what of Siam? Here again we will speak softly. Wonder labors that one from our number, who every few days is writing to one and another of us of the blessed privilege and the great
 joy that is hers in the work there In a letter just received last week she said, I didn't know how happy l would be- To that service in your stead and in my stead she has gone, laying herself on the altar a willing sacrifice.
 How much went last year to the foreign field? Twenty-two million, five hundred thousand dollars from all the churches. At the very high est estimate it is possible to make there might be 325 ,000 people reached by those who that money was sent, but with all that there would be 675 OO0,00O of people that are absolutely without the knowledge of the Lord. So we, as a church, have no more than begun to obey the command of the Master.
 There are many reasons why we should obey the command. First, because the need is so great In this land we have one minister of the gospel to every 546 people; over there in the heather lands there is one preacher of the gospel to every 5000. We should obey the com mand because those beyond the seas
