deeper question which is the measure Of
true obedience and which goes right to
the real. man, to the actual foundations
of his being. For alas! there are many
who have been baptized and who are
members of the church who are not really
Christians because they do not follow
Christ because they do not really believe
in Him. because they do not love Him

OF doubts and fears, not accepting the
racious promises of God, which are past

Conversion of a Bad Debtor.

One sure test OF the reality OF a con-
verts Christianity is the manner or ms
life after conversion. Is he still content
to do the things that stained his life be-
fore? Or is he constantly making such
efforts to conquer sin that those VINO
know him will realize the change ana
ask-what has come over him? The fruits
Of earnest Christian living are SO well
known in America that few are at loss
to answer such a question. Even IN
heather lands the change that CHRIST
brings into the life is becoming known
by its results. An unconverted Chinese
merchant recently asked a traveller from
Manchuria il the Christians in that land
were like the Christians in China. adding
that If SO, they were good men. Then
he gave his reason: A man owed us an
account of $50 five years ago. He re-
fused to acknowledge more than So and
we had no redress. A few months ago
ne became a Christian and came and
asked us to look up that old account:
Then he insisted Oh paying the fun
amount, with interest for all these
years" The testimony Of life like that
goes far toward undoing the harm work
ed by an inconsistent Christian; but think
what the effect on the world would be II
every Christian should be content with
nothing short Of consistent living.

United Presbyterian General Assembly

- HCRCH union and the revision OF
the psalter will cause much dis
cussion at the general assem-
~ bly, of the United Presbyterian
Church OF North America, which
will hold its flfty-second annual meeting
in the Second Church. Race below
10th street. Philadelphia, beginning next
Wednesday evening and continuing for
one week. The opening sermon will be
preached By the retiring moderator, the
Rev. DR.. D. a. McCIenahan Of Allegheny,
Pa. Rev. DR.. w. w. Logan OF the
United Presbyterian congregation of this
city will attend
The assembly will be attended by about
325 delegates from all parts of the United
States and Canada, and also from the
mission fields in India, Egypt and the
Sudan. In addition to the delegates MANY
prominent men, representing the various
boards. colleges and seminaries of the
church. will be present, and also fraternal
delegates from other churches.
The United Presbyterian Church was
formed in 1853 by a union of the Asso-
ciate and the Associate Reformed
churches in Pttsburg, Pa. These churches
were OF Scottish origin. The Associate
Church was founded in 1873 in Scotland
and came to this country by immigration
in the latter part Of the eighteenth CEN
tury. In 1882 a large portion Of the Asso-
clate Church merged with the Reformed
Presbyterian or Covenanter Church, form
ing the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church. 1t was the union Of this church
with what remained OF the Associate
Church that formed the United Presby-
terrain Church in 1858
The United Presbyterian Church has a
membership OF 1853 1000. of whom abou.
90, 600 are in the mission fields. There are
over LOO congregations, and these con-
tributed last year to all purposes more
than two and one-half million dollars.
Some important matters 20 come before
the assembly will be the overtures on the
revised book of government and worship,
and the adoption OF a new metrical YER
sion Of the Psalms. The question of union
with the Presbyterian Church will be
earnestly considered. Memorials will be
presented from at least two presbyteries
asking that all questions relating to union
be dropped. 1t is probable that action

but all true Christians should be able to
say it. We should take the place Of
Christ in our homes; others should see
Him through US. If we follow his teach
ingS faithfully here We shall surely come
to Him hereafter.
If heather should come into our home
and ask the question. What is it to be
'Christian?' - we should be able to an
swer: 'Tt is to be what | am: to do what
/ do. Watch, me. study my life and
through me you will know OF the Lord
Jesus whom | serve This may sound
irreverent or smack too much of self
pride, but it should not be the case. Paul
says: BE We followers of me, even as
also am of Christ" If Paul was able
to hold himself up as an example. why
shouldn't We? OF course, we do not have
far to seek for an answer-it is because
of our faulty living; we are SO conscious
of our imperfections that we dare not
present ourselves as a pattern OF what
other Christians should be.
Phillips Brooks once asked a little girl
how she knew she a Christian. Be
cause was the artiesS and beautiful re-
ply, because l sweep under the mat
now Which was saying, in other words,
that she was performing faithfully each
duty that came to her-not rendering eye
service, but doing all things as unto the
Lord This little child had far truer
conception of true Christianity than many
far older than she. The Christian will
perform faithfully the commonest duty
that comes to him. He will count moth
ing too small or too insignificant if it be
in the line of duty.
