clare that it is through the straight

down amid the crowds OF every day.
Ino lOuCffSloHe VI CIiIIStlJAlity, cc

order to test the fruits Of the Chris

duce holy. helpful, brotherly men and
women? Does it make life sweeter.
q do~wnpullines force in society? Are
men and women who today are good
who woul be bad If it were not
for their loyalty to Jesus?
That Is commonsense-as the teach

OF all living things IS their product,
and their product depends wholly
upon their condition at the root.
A Social Service Religion.
Mr.. Man-of-the-Strcet airly dis
cusses his as ind~iyidualistic; he goes
in for human 'uplift,' social serV-
zee" and welfare work" 1t Is a
the down-trodden. WOmen in silks
and diamonds join hands with fac
tory girls. Shirt waist strikers n
themselves whirled about in automO-
biles Now that it is the popular
thing for men and women to espouSe
find persons going dow town for q
time to live In tho college settlements:
thereby affording themselves pic
turesoue topics for dinner table con-
versations for many long u In
plain words, a deal Of this social
talk is mere faddism: it Is as truly a
passing fashion as the O Of store
hair which some women are nowadays
buying to clap on their heads as the
latest thing In cOlffures. OF course
men should be brotherly; and Of
| course religion should so express it
self. But brotherhood Is simply i'm
possible without f~atherhOOd.
The most social service any man
can render his generation is TO get
right with God himself: and then to
help his neghbor to get right with
God. No u~nthinking sneers about
the individualistic and selfish charac-
ter OF such a creed hould deter a
person from seeking, first the king
dom thus. Individual obedience to
the word Of the master is the keynote
of this lesson. 1t is the only way the
Kingdom OF heaven grows.
Thou must be true myself, ere thou
the truth canSt teach:
Thy heart must overflow. ere thou
anOther'S heart can reach"
The true heart, in right relationship
with Cod, is the center OF a recon
Structed social order. Men will
be in right relationship with
one another until they get into right
relationship with God. That may be
written down as an eternal verify.
Mood, modes and change:
this truth abides forever. The heart
right with God is the first necessity.
The Test OF Time.
Good old DR., Charles T.. Deems lay
trough him low. But at the end
ne anage to whisper. MY faith
holds OUT That is the glory of the
Christian religion: it stands the ulti-
mate tests. Jesus antedated by

familiar figure Of the house built upon
the rock. which the storms could NOT

SnakeaDleneSS OF the life
established upon Jesus Christ.
Like the hum-drum ways of honest
thrift, with the rocket
glare OF high finance, so the life of
