instrumental in saving will become
temples Of God and rise in the scale
of loneliness to the likeness of Jesus,
for they shall see him face to face"
and become like him." This is suf-
fcient motive to allure you, and all
Christians, as reasonable souls, to
arduous toll, generous giving and
true living and in this, you honor
God by doing what you ought to do.
This valley is great mission
field at present, and none the easier
are church problems herein, because
of it's reputed wealth per capita, and
easy money-making institutions
Everywhere you will find people and
professedly Christians, who shrink
from Identification with a new enter
prise in fear of arduous labor, and
oppressive taxation. therefore in the
present instance, it is proper to state
that no future pressment is contem-
plated
We read and acknowledge that as
related to our Creator, 1.-The cattle on
the thousand hills are his" so also
''the silver and gold of the Mines"
with the grain from the benches and
apples on the trees are his also, and
for the use of these products, he has
right to just portion in whatever
church one is, also a like right and
claim though one is not church
member. AS the proprietor of all and
eproducer, his claim of a share of the
income and products is but the de-
mand of the ought" and will be
forthcoming from the man of square
deal with God. He who declines to
Gods storehouse, and to his service,
no matter in what country. city or
church he resides, must be rated as
delinquent and disreputable citi-
zen of the heavenly kingdom, if a
citizen at all. God only requires a
square deal" of his subjects, and
this is met by our doing the fought"
The great difference between men of
the church and the world is that n
| the one case men acknowledge and
| make effort to pay the claim, while
In the other, men ignore and refuse
| the just claims of the Almighty.
1T is more blessed to give than
to receive" said the Master. He did
| not say it was more pleasant, more
agreeable, but more blessed. The
song We sing to cheer a weary spirit
echoes back new cheer into our own
soul The sacrifice we make to help
one in distress makes not poorer, but
| richer Loves stores are not wasted
by giving, the more we give. the
more we shall have. Give AMI it
shall be given unto you" The way
to grow rich in the measures of kind
ness and affection is to show kind
ness and affection to all who need.
If We find our spiritual life lang
uishing and faith decaying, its pro-
ducts growing less, it is because we
have been deserving God, and robbing
him of service and tithes, which are
His due. The true way out of doubts
and unbelief that have filled our
| minds as the result of wrong doing,
and for defense against appeal when
thus withholding, is not by desertion
and infidelity. nor by closer economy
| in giving out to deserving others, but
| by renewal of faith and greater gen.
crosby.
THE heart grows strong in giving:
All its wealth is living grain:
| Seeds which mildew in the garner
Scattered. fill with gold the plain.
Is thy heart a living power?
Self-entwined. it's strength sinks low,
1t can only live, in loving;
And by serving, love will grow
Love, be it to God or man, sweetly
| fulfills every moral obligation, but
more, it stops not with mere honest
deal. it overleaps the ought" and
does what it can, and in this, finds
its supremest joy.
An interesting fragment of history,
| new to some of you, but valuable:
| Some II years ago among the
sage-brush valleys and benches and
canyons, from whence flow our spark
ling waters and wherein lurked the
wild In dian and beast, few pioneer
ranehers came and to them came the
Congregational missionary. At that
time there was no Christian church
within Is miles and the nearest be-
yond this limit was a lone Congrega-
