1 Will Not Leave You Comfortiess.

J. VIII INV LOoS0
Hear the pledge Of Jesus Christ:
"I will not leave you comfortless; I
will come unto you. Lo! I am with
you Away, even unto the end Of the
world" AS long as God lives and our
souls live, so long does this pledge.
stand. It is true, we cannot always
feel this presence. But we can al
ways know that it Is there, always
think of it, so long as thought en-.
dures, always-rest upon 1t forever md
forever; and the reason why this
promise is given Is that we may hold
fast to this truth. There may be
O. moment in the very depth of sor-
row and anguish when the presence Is,
hidden from US. But Is 1t because
we are stunned, unconscious?
1t is like passing through a surgical
operation. The time comes for the
ordeal. The anaesthetiG lis ready.
You stretch out your haAd to your
friend, Don't leave me. don't for
sake me-" The last thing you feel
Is the clasp of that hand. the last
thing you see is the face of that
friend. Then a moment of darkness,
q blank-and the first thing you see
Is the face of love again. So the
angel Of Gods face stands by US,
bends above US, and. we may know
that He will be there ever when all
else fails. = = Amid the mists
that shroud the great ocean beyond
the verge of mortal life, there Is one
sweet, mighty voice" that says: Il
will v leave thee, nor forsake
thee. In all thy Affections I will be.
with thee, and the angel of My face
shall save ee."--Henry van Dyke,
d ID. .

trimmings From the Sanctuary.

He who is stayed on God does not
stand still.
The love of the Father makes the
life of a brother.
No man knows how to live so as to
die right who has not learned how to
die so as to live right.
People who can describe the will OF
God are often the last to do 1t.
Walking with God is always a good
deal more than a dress parade.
So long as the collection is more
than the election, the church will be
a negligible quantity in civic affairs.
Sermons that have lived are the
ones that make lives.
If you are walking with God you
are not climbing over men.
Manufacturing heresy is the mod
ern way of hunting martyrdom.

A Bothersome "Something."

In the journal Of George Fox, the
~consecrated Quaker, is found this
confession: II knew Jesus, and He
was very precious. to my soul; but ]
found something in me which would
not keep patient and KIND. l die
what I could to keep it down, but 1t
was there. I besought Jesus to do
something for me, and when I gave
Him my will, He came into my heart,
and cast out all that would not be
sweet, all that would not be kind, all
that would not be patient, and then
He shut the door,"
Blessed George Fox. TO have the
door of the heart shut on all that
would not be sweet, kind or patient
was to find a blessing worthy of what
Charles Wesley called "the second
rest"
And are there not many protested
Christians who are bothered with this
mysterious something" which Will

cheeks mantling with shame or
anger because Of these sudden, fool
ish and useless outbursts OF Ill tenn
per and unsancti1ed passion?
What such persons need is a sur
render of the rebellious will to God,
and an earnest beseeching of the
Saviour to cast out all these unto
ward and distressing sediments OF
the u~nregenerate life.
Be assured that of yourself you
will never be able to "keep them
down" AS long as they are rooted
in the heart, they will grow and
flourish. Get them "cast out" and
the door closed after them; then
shall you find sweetness, patience and
kindness ruling your spirit. -,Mtcht-
gan Christian Advocate.
