lian. 1--WE that are strong must bear
the infrmities of the weak" We
need workers, not shirkers. Do not
try to shift your responsibility on
some one else. There is work for
every man whether he has one talent
or more. In complex piece Of
machinery there are many parts
seemingly trifing and Insignificant,
yet they are very necessary, without
them the machinery will not run.
Let every free man see his duty and
do his best.
The need of the hour is not only
brave men, but men whose hearts are
filled with the love Of Christ. Satan
can be conquered only in this way.
Have you ever been in room
when the darkness was SO dense you
could almost feel it, then suddenly
have the light turned on? We are
cropping in spiritual darkness fully
as dense. Christ Is the light that
lighteneth the world. Why then do
we walk in darkness?
"People who form bad habits think
they are being bound with silken
cords, but find they are iron bands"
l have read of a man wno made up
his mind to quit the dcink habit, but
was continually haunted with the
fear that it would yet overcome him.
One day he saw picture which
brought him the needed comfort.
Daniel in the lions den, looking up
to God and praying, with lions all
around him, but their mouths were
shut He had found refuge, he
was no longer afraid. When the
tempter comes, pray and you will
be SAFE When Christ called Peter
to him on the waves, he could walk
steadily, as long as he kept his eyes
upon Him, but as soon as he trusted
in himself he began to sink. With
out him we can do nothing, with him
we can do all things"
A Washington correspondent tells
us there are many electric signs used
in that city for advertising purposes,
the largest of which is one put up
on tall building which can be seen
many blocks away. It is the we'll
known trade mark of a big brewing
company There is to be erected
brilliant star over the little mission
opposite under which is this in
scription, Jesus, the Light of the
World" The responses for the con-
tributions to this cause were so en-
thusiastic, that it is regarded as aS
good sign" of the temperance senti-
ment in Washington. They have
caught the idea. Fight the devil
with Christ and the victory is yours.
am indeed glad there is tendency
toward better things, for as Editor
Nettles of the Advocate says never
has there been so many startling dis
closures of dishonesty, not only in
South Carolina, but all over the
United States. Men of high and low
degree confessing to taking bribes,
church differences, shocking condi-
tions in the asylum, etc. He closes with
this significant paragraph: I'VE
must face the facts if we would find
the remedy. Can it be. that they are
right who maintain that the world
is to-day in the grip of the strongest
anti-Christ of the ages-the anti
Christ of materialism, with his In
sidious allies of binding sel1shness
and deadening self-indulgencies? Can
it be that what we follow as the light
in our struggle for development, In
our faith in what we call world-pro-
gress, is after all but kind Of dark
ness? This is a question whose
answer must be sought in the he-rt
of each individual, with no witnesses
present save his conscience and his
God"
