A Prayer For the Church.

I Theodore Cuyler once said that
when he and Newman Hall took tea
with Spurgeon and heard him pray
such marvellous prayer in the family
worship following. they discovered
the secret of his power. Doubtless
the prayer life of the great preacher
had much to do with the phenomenal
success which the Lord was pleased to
grant unto him. The following ex-
tract from one of his prayers is
sample of their intensity, scope and
fullness:
"Once more we pray Thee bless
Thy church. Lord, quicken the spir-
itual life of believers. Thou hast
given to Thy church great activity,
for which we thank Thee; may that
activity be supported by correspond
ing inner life. Let us not get to be
busy here and there with Martha, and
forget to sit at Thy feet with Mary.
May Thy truth yet prevail. Purge
out from among Thy church those
who would lead others away from
the truth as 1t is in Jesus, and give
back the old power, and something
more. Give us Pentecost: yea. many
Pentecosts in one, and may we live
to see Thy church shine forth clear
as the sun, and fair as the moon, and
terrible as an army with banners
God grant that we may live to see
better days. But IL perilous times
should come in these last days, make
us faithful. Raise up in every coun-
try where there has been faithful
church men who will not let the ves-
sci drift upon the rocks. o God, of the
Judges, Thou who didst raise up first
one and then another when the peo-
pie went astray from God, raise up
for us still-our Joshuas are dead
our Deborahs, our Baraks. our Gid
cons, and Jepthahs. and Samuels;
who shall maintain for God His truth.
and worst the enemies of Israel?
Lord, look upon Thy church in
..these days. Lord, revive US. Lord.
restore us. Lord. give power to Thy
Word again, that Thy name NAV be
glorified. Remember the church of
God in this land in all its various
phases and portions, and pour out
Thy Spirit upon it. And wherever
Thou hast a people, may Jesus dwell
with them. and reveal Himself to His
own, for Christ's sake; to whom be
glory with the Father and with the
Holy Ghost, forever and forever.
Amen. Water

The Christians Secret-Psa. 25: IL;
Cor. 2: e-13.
Old and New Testaments are doubly
connected under this theme. As we
begin with fragment from the Old
Hebrew hymn, so the portion of Scrip
ture quoted from Paul's argument be-
gins with another fragment of the old
prophet, which Is rendered In our lat
est version.
For from of old men have not heard,
Nor perceived by the ear,
Neither hath the eye seen God be-
side thee,
Who worketh for him that waiteth
for him."
The Pauline version Is richer in its
significance; as all truth grows richer
from being held long in the mind.
The Scripture passage in question,
l Cor. @: 9-13, must be read more
than once. Indeed, the whole chapter
Is to be perused until the argument
Is clear. 1t is a grand argument and
not to be grasped in the hurry of a
quarter hour study. God has plans,
great plans. such as worlds redemp-
tion. He works so silently that world
ly wise and merely prudential people
are inclined to reckon without him,
now as then. But to spiritually mind
ed people he reveals himself-to those
who wait on him he comes at last, and
gives them his, commandments, and
girds them with his promises. This
Is the secret OF the Lord"

THE YOUNG DREAMER OF OLD
GALlLEE.

Better far the young dreamer of old
Galilee,
Hanging dead in the shame of the cross,
Than the man who grows old in the ser
vice of gold,
And whose treasure is ultimate loss
Though the young dreamer died for the
truth men denied,
His divine spirit lives, and for aye;
For the dream still survives in the BIOS
soming lives
OF humanity's noblest to-day.
There is wonderful veal in a splendid ideal
Though the cost of its service le high
There is infinite gain in the pitiless pain
Of the one Tho is willing to die.
What y death after all but the breaking
the thrall
OF the prison of things as they seem,
And the viewing from near of the vision
most dear
And the tangible touch Of our dream?
It is better to see the ideal from the tree
Than be blind in the midst of the mob
II is better to sigh. and triumphantly die
Than sing songs that must end in a sob
Better far the young dreamer of old
Galilee,
Hanging dead in the cross.tree of shame
With the bloom of His youth plucked to
garland the truth
And world bowling now at His name.

A MAN WHO REFUSED TO FIGHT.

A MAN WHO REFUSED TO FIGHT.
A big Frenchman was talking in
Z loud and clustering tones about his
many achievements in dueling as he
travelled, in company with several
passengers, in the smoking compart-
ment of one of our railway trains. In
the corner opposite to him sat small
man quietly reading a magazine, and
to him he leaned over and arrogantly
said:
Monsieur, what would you do IL
you were challenged to fight duel?"
II should refuse" was the unhesi-
tating reply.
"Ah! ah! thought as much. Re-
fuse and be branded coward! But
If a gentleman offered you the choice
of duel or public whipping; then
what?"
I'D take the whipping"
"Ah! ah! thought SO from your
looks. Suppose, monsieur, you had
foully slandered me?"
II never slander."
"Then. monsieur. suppose man
had coolly and deliberately insulted
you; what would you do?"
"I'd rise up this way. put down my
book this way. reach over like this.
and take him by the nose, and give
1t proper sort OF twist--just sol"
When the little man relinquished
his grip of the big mans nasal organ.
his neighbors slid away In abject ter
ror. TO escape the bullets which would
surely be flying at once; but there
was no shooting. The big man
turned crimson-then white-then
looked the little man over and re-
marked:
"Ah-certainly-of course--that's
it--exactly!"
And then the conversation took q
turn on the prospects of war with
Turkey.

Topic-The Yoke Of Christ--Matt. II

Topic-The Yoke Of christ--Matt. II:
$3.50.
Purity and humility. Cor. 10: /;
Phil. q Z, 8; Luke 90: 81.
Self-control. Heb. IL: 3; 1 Pet. 2:
23.
Obedience. Heb. 8: 10.
Sacrifice. Isa so: g. John 10: IL,

Love. Matt. 90: S7.39.
Prayer. Mark 1: 35; Matt. 90 36-44.
No one can make much progress In
wisdom until he discovers how much
there is that he cannot discover but
must have revealed to him ". 25).
The promise, 81 will give you rest"
Is not to the idle but to the !aborers.
not to the unburdened but to the
heavy laden ". 2S).
1t Is Christ's yoke, In the sense that
He imposes it and that it is borne for
Him; but even more in the sense that
1t is born with Him ". 29).
Every one must wear some sort OF
yoke. and bear some sort of burden.
The only ease possible in this world
is TO choose the easiest yoke and the
lightest burden ". 30).
Suggestions.
Christ is not like the Pharisees,
binding seavy and grievous burdens
on mems lacks and not touching them
with His little finger. He carries the
heavy end of every burden He i'm.
poses.
There Is no thought of humiliation
In Chrlst's yoke, but rather the high
est honor 1t means cooperation with
the Lord of the universe.
IL one animal of team refuses to
pull on the yoke he is nevertheless
dragged on, but to his own destruc-
tion. So IL we refuse to pull In the
yoke with Christ.
An animal can be in only one yoke
at once but the more firmly we are
yoked to Christ the more firmly are
we yoked to one another.
Illustrations.
The yoke is an instrument for using
the strength of two and>bringing it to
bear upon one object. How great the
condescension in Christ thus to cou.
pie Himself with US!

The Present Strength Giver.

One of the secrets of Christian con-
fidence and courage during all the
ages of the Church has been this
promise of the Church's Founder:
"Lo, I am with you Away" His
presence in the flesh was the one
thing that comforted and strength
ened His disciples. and when He left
them He left them the promise of His
abiding presence. lest they should
grieve because He must go out from
their sight.
In the darkest hours of prosecu-
tion, in the moments when the
Church has seemed to be going back
ward rather than going forward. in
all the discussions and difficulties OF
all the centuries faithful hearts have
been warmed and cheered, and new
courage has come when this word
has been remembered and a con-
sciouspess of Christ's presence has
thrilled His faithful followers.

had not been properly tuned 1t was
no better than before. After receiving
