A Witnessing Church.
The first business of this sacred.
feeble, lonely band of disciples, after
they had been equipped with the
mysterious might of Jesus, was to tell
nesses.'' was the command of the as
cending Lord. There were not called
to nourish themselves, or to escape
persecution, or to find delight in one
speculative theologians. Their first
and chief business was to be tellers
of the wondrous story.
That primary and fundamental idea
of the Kingdom of Jesus is getting
new grip on his church. 1t is be-
with the business of telling the good
news. The outreach of the church
toward the whole earth is a marked
characteristic of the times. There is
discernible a tendency to use all the
new machinery of civilization for this
purpose; and one may pause and
wonder what marvels the apostolic
church would have wrought had it
been in command of the appliances
of the twentieth century. The gospel
by the printed page, the gospel by
the phonograph, the gospel by the
moving picture, the gospel through
newspaper and novel are all familiar
uses now; next we shall be preaching
the gospel by wireless. Invention
finds it's highest use when it is en-
ployed to bear life to life-hungry men.
A Lord on High.
The only way in which Jesus could
be forever with his disciples was to
leave them. He quickly came again
in his other self, the Paraclete. Hence
forth he was to be Lord. not merely
of little band of friends who could
see and touch him, but of an ever
widening kingdom, destined to become
universal.
Thenceforth the church had four !
fold gospel to preach, all centering in
the person of Christ:
Christ had lived.
Christ had died.
Christ has risen
Christ will return.
In these truths, which the disciples |
taught confidently and Joyously, and |
at all costs, was wrapped up all that
humanity needed to know concerning |
God.

TerSe Comments for January 3, The
Duty of Making Good Resolutions"
Acts 11:19-23; Josh. 24:14-25.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Even the best may be bettered; in
deed, 1t must be bettered if it is not to
grow worse. So nobody ever gets be-
yond the necessity for saying, with the
apostle, Brethren, I count not myself
yet to have laid hold: but one thing I
do. forgetting the things which are
behind, and stretching forward to the
things that are before, 1 press on to-
ward the goal unto the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus
Every day is fresh beginning.
Every morn is the world made new"
sang the poet This is a beautiful
creed of hope. 1t makes room for a
fresh start in life, when yesterdays
failures have wellnigh overwhelmed
us. Longfellow-as, indeed, do most
of the poets somewhere-gives express
sion to the same truth in his Ladder
of st. AuguStine:"
''Saint Augustine, well hast thou said,
That of our vices we may frame
A ladder. If we will but tread,
Beneath our feet, each deed of
Nor deem the irrevocable past
AS wholly wasted, wholly vain,
If, rising on it's wrecks, at last
The simple warrant for all new reso-
lutions is that the will must go before
the deed. Only new purpose can
make new year.
In the realm of character. possibility
is obligation. What a person can do
he ought to do.
The purposeless life is a rud6erless
ship.
A more than ordinarily good resolu-
ton for every day of the new year is
that written by Bishop John II. Vim
cent: "I Will this day try to live a
simple, sincere and serene life, re-
pelling promptly every thought of dis
content, anxiety, encouragement and
self-seeking; cultivating cheerfulness,
magnanimity, charity and the habit of
holy silence, exercising economy in
expenditure. carefulness in conversa-
ton. diligence in appointed service,
fidelity in every task, and a childlike
trust in Cod
Before there can be great resolutions,
in life or in lot, there must first be
good resolutions in the individual heart.
"Our chorister last week called our
attention to the fact that almost every
song is ended on a lower scale than it
was begun upon" said the member of
a we'll known church 1.-THE tendency
is to sag, and to go lower by imper-
ceptible degrees, so that at the end of
a rendition the difference is some
times as much as half a note" So it
is with all of life. A constant reasser-
ton of the purpose is needed to sus-
tain ones character upon the highest
levels There is sort of tug and pull
forever operating to lower ones ideals
and achievements Nobody escapes
from this. Drifters yield to it; but
persons of stronger moral and intel
