Here Am I, Send Me-"

1t seems easy to tell of our love for
our Master, who asks US, Lowest thou
me?' and We say. Yea, Lord. thou know
est that 1 love thee and we sing, III
go where you want me to go, dear Lord,
I'll say what you want me to say. I'll
be what you want me to be- Then the
call comes, Feed my lambs! There are
so many little ones right here that need
the kind of love that does things more
than the kind that measures its love in
talk; but we too often say by our actions.
Why can't sonic one else gO?' II you
hear the Master saying. Lowest thou
Me-? and you answer. Yea. Lord when
He pleadingly says. Feed my lambs.
will you not truly say, Here am l, send
me?"
A speaker at a convention recently
held in a western city told a story that
forcibly illustrated the difference made
in a mans actions when he really loves
Jesus. He spoke Of Gen. .Sherman's last
campaign in the south when certain
changes in commanders were made. Gen.
Howard was placed at the head Of a
special division. Soon after this the
war closed and there was to be grand
review of the army here. The night be-
fore the review Sherman sent for Howard
and said, 1.-The friends of the officer you
succeeded are determined that he shall
ride at the head of the corps, and
want you to help me out.

ment?" IF you put it on that ground"
said Howard, there is but one answer.
Let him ride at the head OF the corps. -
Yes, let him have the honor said
Sherman. But you will report to me q
o O'Clock and will ride by my side at the
head of the army. Howard protested
but his commanders orders were posi-
tive. So, that day. in the grand review
the man who had yielded his rights had
a place of higher honor at the head OF
the whole army.
So much for the difference il makes in
the actions Of man or woman. boy or CIR !
when his profession OF religion is Il
reality and not a sham. But there is
another aspect Of the downright. uprigh,
Christian life that must not be lost sigh
OF. God lives In the hearts of those who
love Him in dead earnest. Just what IL
means to have God live with him ONLY
one who rejoices in the experience can
tell. 1t is enough to say that life l.
transformed. the world is made gloriou.
for him and joy that cannot be meas
ured is his portion.
