VI us uas Duu a small part In making
himself what he is. The generations
past, the environment around, the God
above, the Christ within-these are
the principal factors in the building up
of every really great and worthy life.
What hast thou" writes Paul aagin,
which thou didst not receiver" Every
from which he springs. the world in
which he lives and the God who hath
followed him with blessings from the
hour of his birth, that it can only be
discharged by the complete conse-
Grafton of all he has and Is to hat will
of God which, when it is completely
accomplished, will be manifested as
the reign of righteousness and peace
throughout all human life. No words
can discharge our debt. No mere con-
tributions to missionary and philan-
thropic objects. In view of what we
have received, for which we are debt
ors, the yielding even of our bodies as
living sacrifices" is only 'our reason
able service"
The man who believes that the
world owes him a living. sadly needs
to change lis mind. Most adherents
of this philosophy find that sooner or
later it leads to shipwreck and disas-
ter. Only the man who has come to
see that he owes the world a life. and
is living to pay the debt, has secured
the eternal peace and progress of his
life by linking himself with That liv-
ing Will which shall endure when all
that seems shall suffer shock."-Rev.

Safely Kept.

1t is possible to get beyond STUN
bling, The way to do 1t is to give our
whole attention to the things In which
there is no danger of stumbling. The
Psalmist suggests a safe and sure rule
when he sings: Great peace have
they that love thy law; and they have
no occasion of stumbling" There is
nothing in the law of God eve to
cause a man to stumble. Therefore
whenever Gods law, his purpose. his
plan, his wish Of US, has our whole
and undivided attention, we are kept
safe. The apostle John says the same
thing when he writes: "Whosoever
abideth in him sinneth not" One who
has really yielded his life to God in
Christ cannot. while that yielding is
complete, sin at any known point. The
sin comes only when we cease to yield.
withdraw from the abiding, love some
thing else for the moment more than
Gods law. And we need never do
this. For Christ, who never STUN
bles, and in whom there is no occa-
sion of stumbling. will be our entire
conscious life If we will let him.

SOUND SLEEP

not do my work while they lasted; my

in restless discomfort. I was filled
with a nervous dread as to the future.
"A friend suggested that possibly
tea and coffee were to blame, and 1
decided to give them up, and in cast

dropped into a sound, dreamless sleep
the moment my head touched the pill

Then I suddenly realized that all
my nervousness had left me, and my
appetite, which had fallen off before,

Mans Capacity
Only Limit
By Rev. BARRY B. HALL
of Temple Baptist Church,
Minneapolis. MINI. =

God blesses man at every opportu-
nifty and furnishes every real joy he
is able to appropriate. We enjoy SO
little. not because of Gods unwilling
ness to bless, but because of our in
ability to receive and appropriate his
blessings. This old world is big with
blessings to him who has the eyes to
see them. Thousands stand before the
most beautiful landscapes ard see
nothing but hills and valleys. To the
singing of the birds and the beauties
of nature they are deaf, and blind.
and dumb. A missionary saw African
boys playing with diamonds of rarest
value. They were rocks and nothing
to the boys.
Before the days of Franklin the air
al as full of electricity as now. but
our fathers went on burning candles,
deprived Of the telephone and the tel
egraph, because none of them had
the Eyes to see 1t. All Of our modern
inventions were as possible to our
fathers as they are to us; yet they
plowed with crude instruments when
they could have ridden the c%ultivator;
they rode in OK carts when they could
have ridden on the lightning express,
only because they had no eyes to see
these blessings and to appropriate
them. And the world is big with in
ventions today, involving great for
tunes to him who is able to see them,
and the business world is big with
marvellous opportunities for those who
have the Eyes to see. Thus 1t is clear
that material blessings are limited
only by mans ability to see and ap-
propriate them.
But material blessings are real
blessings only to those who have the
eyes to see them Alright. If they e
wealth as an opportunity to serve
their fellows through the channels OF
legitimate business or philanthropy
1t will bless them, but If they see 1t
through carnal eyes, simply an OPP
portunity for the qualification Of the
flesh, it will cause them to forget God
and .brotherliness, and to grow cold
and naughty. 1t will lead them into a
mad rush for pleasure, causing them
to commit involuntary suicide, burn
ing out the candle of life at both
ends. To leave the ordinary young
man $4,000 Is equal to a through
ticket to hell. Wealth is a curse to
the carnally-minded. 1t must be seen
through spiritual eyes before it be-
comes a real blessing.
This is a glorious or horrid old
world, according to ones point OF
view. If his point of view is carnaf
instead of Christian, he will COM
plete this life in Disappointment; but
If he views this world with the good
and not the evil eye, he will see a

Jesus Christ is in His glory when
He is among lost men. Greatness is
not comfortable among the outcast

comfortable, for whilst it can work
miracles of transformation every
