the past, then, let us say of It, with
st. Paul, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, 1 press
toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God In Christ"
Our help is in Him. Therefore let US
look to Him, and be of good courage.
believing He can and will deliver us
from the bonds of those sins which
by our frailty we have committed"
He wants to help us, and is even
now helping US. A real desire to fol-
low Him will keep us from deadly sin.
He came to save us from our sins. to
take them away and free us from
them. A trus Christian purpose should
keep us from serious sins, and BIZ Gods
grace it will. Let it then comfort us
to know that God is for us, not against
us; that the infinite love, the infinite
knowledge and the infinite power of
God are forever working for our good.
Always. day and night, night and day,
every moment of every hour, every
hour of every day. AS it is written,
He giveth His beloved in Sleep" that
is even whilst they sleep. If, then, we
are workers together with Him, all
will be well with us.
We should therefore fearlessly face
the future, knowing that God can turn
even the follies and the failure of the
past into certain sort of good to us.
In His wisdom He can ovverule even
our errors, and in His mercy He Is
not extreme to mark what is amiss.
But let us be glad that He makes our
WaywardnesS wearlsome. To know our
weakness is lesson well worth learn
Ing, even though at the cost of many
humbling experience, and, perhaps,
or much sorrow. SO we see that even
through our waywardness and will
fulness God is seeking us and bring
ing us back to Him. And so, dark as
sometimes the day has been, let us go
bravely on in our appointed way, know
Ing we are on our way home and that
lat evening time 1t shall be light"
As saint said: Sometimes our
path in life may seem like a lane full
of weary windings, where the steep
banks shut out the light and air and
all we can do is to trudge steadily on
through the thick mire, but if we look
high up in front of us we shall see.
as Israel saw, the faint blue hills Of
the Land of Promise rising up against
the sky. The path will come out at
length in full vew of the Celestial
City, and at last we shall be at home"

SERMONETTES.

High living often brings the life to a
low level.
The man who acts little makes a big
mistake.
1t isn't easy to get along on a short
allowance.
A man learns to live when he begins
to live and learn.
A spoonful of success is better than
a gallon of failure.
The best way to reinforce your trou-
blss is to use them as a refuge from
others cares.

football hero of the play and in the
further role of the Misunderstanding
lover he occupies the main part of the
plot in the third act.

EVERYDAY HEROES.

The heroic action OF the ten mer
who gave their lives in saving eighty
five of their fellow beings from hor
rible death in the coal mine holocaus,
at Cherry. ILL.,. will be remembered
long after their names are forgotten
1t is just such actions that preserve
our faith in the rOck-bOttom good
ness of the human race. Oftentmes
that faith suffers from contact with
much that is sordid and selfish in the
1 struggle for existence, and we tend
/ to believe that there can be no good
! in man.
/ When the flames leapt out of the
mine shaft down which 400 souls were
struggling to get out. it was surely
situation to try the strongest and
StOutest hearts. When the wives and
loved CneS of the entombed cried
upon God to aid the unfOrtunates these
eleven men OF Cherry responded.
Among them were merchants. polit:-
