Spiritual Exercise.

A new pastor was met by one Of
his Pensioners who was fat and Of
many years, who said to the pastor:
You must feed the sheep" Where
upon the pastor replied: my dear
old man. you do not need food. you
need exercise" In this repartee there
is q great deal Of truth, appropriate
to the spiritual conditions Of thou
sands of Christians. There are peo-
pie who are constantly clamoring for
preaching-and this particularly true
among our people: We are not
given to relishing lectures on econom-
ic, educational, and varied subjects.
Whenever there Is gathering and It
Is possible to turn 1t into Z preaching
service, this is done. The sheep must
be fed. But as matter Of fact. what
our people need more than feeding
is the spiritual exercise. They are
fed; abundantly 80. and II they were
to put into practice only small part
of that which IL given them In pulpit
ministrations, they would be better
and the world would be better and
happier. No. we are not In need OF
feeding. Truthfully, We are not In
need of much preaching: We are well
fed. What we are in need Of IL the
exercise of that which has been given
to us by the pulpit. This done and

This declaration made in a
letter written by Jonathan, the
victorious Maceabee leader, to
the lacedemonians when he
sought peace and alliance with
them, Is indicative Of the mans
character and the secret Of his
power.
With David he could sing:

So It came to pass q short, time

through Judea that Tryphon had

into the border of Judea and was then
at Bethsan.
Jonathan lost no time in gathering
his forces and a few days after the
report was brought to him he was
marching to Bethsan with 10000
chosen men. But instead of battle
array he found Tryphon coming to
meet him.
sWhy hast thou put thy people to

had exchanged greetings. And then

Our Responsibility to Christ.

AS all real character Is produced by
the sense of responsibility. 80 all real
Christian character is produced by the
sense of responsibility to Christ. Re-
sp0nsibility makes men, responsibility
to Christ makes saints. 1t makes
them when it is freely and unreserv-
eddy undertaken by individuals in the
position in which the call of God has
come to them. The individual IL too
often lost in his heredity and environ
ment; the key to what he is has been
sought in nature and in history, not
in the living God and the living soul.
1t is vain to look for saints along this
line. They are not the product of he
redity and environment; they are pro-
duced one by one, free, original, un-
paralleled phenomena, as individual
souls, conscious of their obligations to
the Redeemer, face their life from mo-
ment to moment in the sense of what
they owe him.
