Have We told my fainting children
Of the strength Of the Fathers hand7
Ia Have we guided the tottering footsteps
Have We stood by. the sad and weary,
70 smooth the pillow of death;
To comfort the sorrow stricken,
And strengthen the feeble faith?
And have We. felt, when the glory
Has streaned through the open door
And fitted across the shadows,
That have been there before?
Have ye wept with the. broken hearted
1e might hear me whispering beside thee,
"'Tis the pathway I often GO"
NY Ny, disciples, my brethren; my friends,
Then wherever the Master dwelleth,
There shall the servant be.

to his laundering, stumbling Pilgrim
many helps by the way to enable him
to reach the Celestial City.
In the interpreters house Christian
was shown a fire against a wall which
could not be quenched, though one
cast water upon it continually. The
explanation was given to Pilgrim
when he was shown the other side of
the wall. where a man was pouring
oil into the fire. This the interpreter
said, was the way the devil tried to
extinguish mans spirituality. and he
would succeed were it not that Christ
is ever pouring into. his heart the oil
of his grace, There is a power in the
Christian, and from without the
Christian, a power which is not at all
of himself, that enables him to live
godly life amid conditions not favor
tie thereto. Thus Christ keeps his
own, in spite of all that his enemies
can do to wrest them from him.
Happy is the Pilgrim on life's high
way who finds that there Is an
omniscient interpreter, even the spirit
of truth, who will show you all
things"
Pilgrim was shown two children
named Patience and Passion. The
latter wanted what he wanted rig Il
away, and SO all his pleasures came
10 MIN at once, anu were SOOl "a

best things, which lasted Under this
simple figure was set forth the pro-
found truth that the pleasures of
sin are only "for season." whereas,
"at his right hand are pleasures for
evermore." The only sensible prizes
to seek in this life are those which do
not perish in the using. Sufficient
farsightedness would make everybody

THE MASTERS QUESTIONS.
Have ye looked for sheep in the desert,
For those who have missed their way?
Have We been in the wild waste places,
Where the lost and wandering stray?
Have We treden the lonely highway,
The lone and darksome street?
1t may be ye'd see in the cleaning
The print Of wounded feet.
Have ye fetched home to your bosom
The trembling, neglected lamb?
And taught to the little lost one,
The sound Of the Shepherds name?
Have you searched for the poor and needy.
with no clothing, no home no bread?
The Son of Man was among them,
He had nowhere to lay his head
Have We carried the living water
To the parched and thirsty soul2
Have We said TO the sick and wounded,
Christ Jesus makes thee zhnla7"

selves off from the great opportunity
in their history, and missed the very
mission for which they had been set
apart as a chosen people.
But they were inpotent to stay the
spread of the gospel Gods kingdom
is bound to come Mans only concern
is whether 1t Shall come by his help
or in spite of him, and whether it
shall come to him or pass him. The
great question of election which arises
in this connection was well answered
by Rev. Sam Jones. the evangelist,
who said: 1.-THE ELECT are the whose
ever wills and the 'non-elect' are the
'whoSoever won'ts.'

"He that speaks the truth will find
himself in sufficiently dramatic situa-
tions,' says Professor woodrow Will
son. There are crises constantly con-
fronting the man who Is animated. as
was Paul. by the conviction, This one
to do his own work at all hazards is
bound to have variety OF experiences,
but he and he alone viii achieve great
results. Mr.. Moody used to say,

probably physical Violence. they were
driven out of the borders Of Pfsidia.
But they still continued preaching.
The cost mattered not at all to them; ;
so long as Christ was preached Paul
could stand anything His attitude
recalls a remark made the other day
by DIR. Samuel N. Zwemer of Arabia,
the great authority upon Mohamme-
danism, who was peaking rather i'm
patiently upon the naudhn senti-
mentality concerning missionary hard
ships! 1T does not matter how much
people have to suffer in this work. 1t
does ont matter how many mission
aries we kill. 1t does not matter how
much money we spend. The point is
that missions are a war. War always
costs. Our business is to go ahead
and carry on the fighting and win the
battle"
Paul did not hesitate to narrate his
hhrdshipS when engaged in contro-
versy or counsel, or when they could
probably feather an arrow of argu-
ment; but he never allowed them to
deter him from his main business. He
was willing to get into innumerable
rows for righteousness sake-and did
but even so the coming of the
Prince of Peace was fastened.
