The Abiding.

Power is ever to be the possession OF
the church A powerless church is con-
.radiction in terms. The church was
founded for a purpose 1t was designed
to be the most potent organization or
time. and il is So long as there Is evil
the church Is meant to suppress It, While
there are devils In the human heart, In
society, in trade, in politics, it Is the
one business of the church to cast them
out. The one thing in which the churcn
need never economize is power. Here, in
this early morning of the Christian dis
pensation, among the first words that
were uttered in this commission were
these of the golden text: FTeely We nave
received, freely give" 1t is as though He
had said the supply Is tnexhausubie. All
that you need for the accomplishment Of
he work to which you are called is yours.
Can you exhaust the sun? VIII the Pana-
ma canal be able. when 1t is completed, to
exhaust the oceans on either side OF II!
How much less can the human conduit
exhaust the divine fountain.
1t would seem as though the church
in it's various departments had forgotten
this one truth. If God has not commits
stoned the church to do the work in which
t is engaged. the doing of it is rank
presumption. If we are where we are in
obedience to the Divine command, then
we have q right to expect success. This
is the first promise and declaration Of our
Lord. The last is this. All power is given
unto Me in heaven, and in earth; go We
therefore unto all the world, and preach
Ny gospel to every creature, and 10, l am
with you always even unto the end OF the
world" And all the power that we can
use is placed. by this promise. at our dis
posal. How rich Is the church; surely, 1t
Is a wonder that the world has not long
ago been converted. OF one thing we
may be sure, it is not the fault Of God.

another time. and inserted here because
it was so applicable. However this may
be, the fact remains that our Lord sought
to prepare the disciples and all their
successors for the conflicts that were in
store for them. The work of casting out
devils means the arousing of enmity and
opposition of the devils. 1t is universal
law. Smite a wrong, command it to come
out of the social life, out of trade or
politics. and it will rise UP and srnite you
In turn.
And this is a war in which there is no
compromise. The history of the church
shows that its greatest saints have been
its greatest sufferers. Look! all the apos-
ties but one died a martyrs death. And
the lives of Luther, and Knox and Wick
life, and Latimer. and Ridley. with un-
told thousands besides, testify to the same
truth. And the glory of the church is
that it has not been deferred by danger.
These disciples, raw and inexperienced as
they were, listened to the warning and
boldly, and without moments pause,
started upon their mission. This is God 8
way Of making heroes. Such disciples
learn to count not their lives dear unto
them, SO that they may win Christ.

The Transient.

They were first Of all the power to
work miracles; to heal the sick, to
cleanse the lepers and to raise the dead.
This was needed for the time: but in after
years, when the church was established,
this power was no longer exercised.
The instructions for travel, too, were
such as were applicable to that time and
place, but they were not suited to later
times Then there were restrictions: they
were not to go into the way OF the Gen
tiles, nor into any city of the Samari-
tans. The reason for this command is
plain. They were not prepared FOR 1t.
Years after, when the door was thrown
wide to these and to all others. mira
Gle was needed to convince these disciples
that such was the divine plan. And
finally the forms of persecution OF which
they were told were such as they &C
tually encountered, but which, In our
day, have largely ceased.
This was the time of preparation BY
and by when the atonement had been
made on Calvary, when Christ had
broken the bands Of death, and triumphed
DER the grave. then all restrictions were
removed The command was given to go
into all the world and preach the COS
pel TO every creature They We're equip
per for their immediate needs; and II
in our time some of the power which they
possessed is not ours it is because 1t is
no longer needed.

Divine Protection.

This is a point at which good people
often most seriously biunder. They imag-
Inc that the Divine protection means a
shield from all suffering and sorrow. But
God has given no such promise. On the
contrary, He has said I'm this world we
shall have tribulations.'' What, then, Is
the meaning of the Divine protection? It
is this: The providence Of God is over
all that He has made. ceaselessly, change
lessly. It is over sparrows (verse g }
Not one of them could fall to the ground

children that the very hairs of their

Death of A. A. Charles.

The Christian Endeavorers of the Dis

greet of the recent death Of Addison A.
Charles, at Nankin. China. Mr.. Charles
was sick only a week, being attacked
with the most malignant form of small
pox, and there was no hope for his re-
covery from the beginning. He had the
best medical attention that could be Sc
cured, there being three physicians and
two trained nurses in attendance con-
stantly: but he passed away February ~
Mr. Charles left Washington In July,
1908, for China to take position under
the Chinese government in one of the
colleges In Nankin. where he taught
physics chemistry and English. He had
been most successful, and endeared him
self, not only to the pupils. but to all
who knew him, as he was an exceptional
ly bright man with a splendid disposition,

tian gentleman in every respect HIS IN

disciples. In the second verse they
are called apostles. The word apostle
