| HN>Nf L are still in the realm of 'Prac-
kDI(DA tical Religion and have come
to that best evidence of it.
Busy Service" Two things should ever
be kept in mind by the servant OF God.
First. that I'VE are saved to serve" and
second, the blessedness of being busy.
In His PARABLE on negative goodness
Luke 1l:2426, Jesus emphasizes the
truth that the unoceupied life is a peril
Gus life, and one of the poets has truly
said, referring to the value of activity,
Work For this is sure.
That busy lives. like busy waters,
Are generally pure.'
Four Scriptures are given US as guides
and they are we'll chosen, bringing TO US
three important thoughts.
First. the nature OF a busy service.
| Two very vital things go to make up
busy service They are diligence and re-
liability. without which any service. for
either God CT man, will be failure.
Haphazard or ftful service must indeed
grieve the heart Of Him who Sc life was so
tirelessly employed in the service Of man.
Some cne has tritey said that there are
three classes to be observed among the
servants of Gcd, Workers. shirkers and
JeEkerS. HOW InuCn the cause Oi STou
has suffered at the hands Of these latter
classes He only knows, but the great cry
of the leaders in the work OF bringing
the gospel to men has ever been fer dill
gent and reliable labors.
The great work In the harvest fields
of God" is not being done by the bril-
liant but spasmodic genius. but rather by
the faithful few. who, seeing the need OF
laborers. have toiled beneath the sun,
their only reward an approving con-
10 nf U sDrOS-
perity of Zion" Coupled with this dill
gence is its twin virtue reliability. To
these add love for souls. in sin or need,
and you have the mainsprings of q busy
service" the only kind that counts.
In the second place We have: The object
of busy service. Jesus said, Il must
work the work of Him that sent me-.
Nothing could more clearly reveal the
object of our busy service than these
words. The service is Gods service. and
1.-The kings business requires haste" To
this end the Master bent every energy:
in this service Peter and Paul and Philip
wrought their fiery evangelism; with
Him as their example and with this
thought in mind, the choicest servants
Of God have reused their Tagging zeal
There is third thought that should
not be overlooked in this connection.
namely, Leaving the results with God.
We are not to be continually counting
up how much we have accomplished;
that is Gods prerogative. Our task is to
Sow beside all waters" and to be lat
II and always at it, There are many
or elated by apparent failure or success
Results must be weighed and measured
as we'll as counted. One choice pearl is
worth a seasons fishing. So let US TO
the work; with the captain OF our saliva
ton as an example, leaving the question
of results to Him, Our Lord, knowing
that our labor "shall not be in vain or
unrewarded.

of some personal sin, cut out part OF the

peril. The attitude OF God to the Bible
is shown by His statement concerning the
revelation OF John: IF any man SHAH
take away from the words OF this proph-
ecy. God shall take away his part out OF
the book Of life ard out of the holy city,
and from the things which are written In

enemies blowing with all their force. try
ing TO extinguish IT, There is no danger
Of the Bible being lost by hostile EFFORTS.
Its greatest danger is in the home o. lis
friends where II may be neglected Oae
can reject, il they wish to neg.ect ths
path of saliva ton, the light of Gods woT1,
by refusing TO read IL or hardening their
hearts against its truths. BY so doing
the person destroys their own opportunity
to become like God. They will perish, but
the word Of God will abide forever.
