sawest how L tugged under it yesterday
and how 1t bore me down to earth, and
chafed my sensitive shoulders, until this
morning I am all stiff and sore. And
now. how I am to bear it again is more
than / can see. Wilt thou not pull with

Thy perfect strength in my times OF

Then rest, and see how it comes out.
Those who have tried it all testify to
the promise, I'VE shall find rest to your

that the burden will be gone. but that
we shall be able to bear our part with
means that we shall be the more ready
for work, and lift the burden with new
heart, because we do not nave TO hit IL
alone.
Some one tells the story OF crossing
the Atlantic with an old captain. who
was noted as one OF the most skiiitui

rife storm came up which lasted thirty
eight hours, and during that time he
stayed on the bridge trying to save MS
passengers. When the danger was over
some one said to him: 1t must be ter

sponsible for the lives Of over thou

ship with all the skill and faithfuiness
possible to man. God himself Is respon-

the large number of volunteer workers

regret his departure from Washington,

meaning Of the picture. The seed sown
is the word Of God. That portion that
falls by the wayside rs that which falls
on needless ears, into which Satan at
once pours careless thoughts that take
away all memory OF. the word.
The seed that falls on stony places is
the word that is heard and joyfully re-
ce1ved by men and women of eXcitable
temperament. They do not count the
cost of obeying the word. ut is the
sunny side Of religion that has attract
ed them" When hardships and diff
cult1es come they are disturbed and
displeased: they begin to look for an
easier road. The word does not have
root enough in their lives to withstand
the slightest shock
The man who is like the ground which
received the word among the thorns is
divided in his allegfance-he Is willing
! to let the roots of sin and evil dwell in
his heart along with the word of the
kingdom. The result is sure. for no
man can serve God and mammon. The
evil inevitably chokes the good, and
the man is barren, unfruitful
Finally. those in the fruitful soil rep
resent the careful hearer, who thinks
and ponders as he hears. until he un-
derstands and receives the word. It
takes such deep root in his life that he
! begins to bear fruit for the Master ac-
cording to. his capacities and opportu-
mites and the depth to which he allows
/ the seed to enter the heart.
An illustration of that sort of hearing
was given by one of the best known
merchants of Philadelphia when he told

of that far-on day still Turk among the
so-called Christian beliefs and practices
of Mexico.
or late years Mexico has been max
ing vast strides in internal Improvement,
and there has been marked development
in the people. Our brief and successful
war with Mexico opened the way for the
introduction of the Bible into that coun-
try. and this was the beginning of better
things. The people instinctively felt that
the splendid courage OF the Americans
was inspired by something received from
the holy book; and there were many
who desired to know more OF its teach
ings. Some Of the old Bibles introduced
at that time are still preserved, and are
objects of special reverence,
In 1850 the American Bible Society
opened work at Matamoras. and soon
there were colporteurs in all parts OF the
country The British Bible Society began
work there in 1864 There have been hum
dreds of thousands of Bibles distributed
and many of these books are being read
with deep interest by the awakening

Our Responsibility Is Limited.

The trouble with so many Christians 10
that they try to bear more than God asks
them to bear. AS an Englishman recent
ly said: "A number of men were once
talking about the burdens of duty, and
one of them declared that they were
sometimes too heavy to be borne. Not
said another, If you carry only your own
burden. and don't try to take Gods work
out OF His hands" Last year | rossed
the Atlantic with one of the most skill
full and faithful captains of the great
liners. We had terrific storm. during
which for thirty-eight hours he remained
on the bridge. striving to save his pas
sensers. When the danger was over 1
sid to him, 1T must be a terrible
thought at such a time that you are re-
sponsble for the lives of over a thousand
human beings" Mo- he said solemnly,
Il am not responsible for the life of one
man on this ship. My responsibility is to
run the ship with all the skill and faith
fulness possible to any man. God HIM
self is responsible for all the rest"
