in the heart overnight, but It must be up

cannot be followers of God and imitators
Of Christ without loving those He loves
And yet in our own strength we can never

Christ can and will give us of His love
just as He gives us Of His power His

Two little girls had a quarrel. The
mother Of one reasoned with her child
about the duty Of asking Gods forgive
ness for her part in the quarrel Finally
the little girl knelt for her evening prayer.
At the close she added. 20 God, please
forgive me for speaking angrily to Char
Iotte and for quarreling with her. and
make her come to me and ask my forgive
ness. Q Lord. give her no rest by day
nor night until she Is sorry and comes and
tells me So" Too often our repentance
Is more for the one we have offended than
for ourselves, and we try to put the
blame nearly all upon him. A different
spirit had the girl who knelt long beside
her white bed in prayer, and when she
arose her sister, whose prayers were al

Tiglath-pileser. Hoshea owed his posi-
ton to the great conqueror. He was vir-
tually the governor Of the remnant Of
Israel for Tiglath-pileser. Hoshea was
handicapped in his efforts by the condi-
ton that confronted him. The people
had lost their national unity and faith.
Corruption dominated the courts, COM
merce and civic life
The system that placed him in power
prevented the complete exercise Of his
gifts that in another period might have
made him what his name signified-the
savior of his people. He came to the
throne at a period when despair. dark
ness and doom were written the ap-
parent prospect of Israel God had spoken
of their captivity by the prophets, Amos.
Hosea. Isaiah and Micah. HeZekiah had
by his great passover summoned all
Israel to return to worship Jehovah. Few
needed the call to return, although APP
parently Hoshea sympathized with the
movement and favored the worship OF
Jehovah, for we read, He did that which
was evil in the sight Of the Lord, but
not as the kings of Israel that were
before him..
Religiously superior to his predecessors.
hes still lacked the faith to trust Jehovah
only as the protector of his people and
power.

"The Development and Best Use Of
Spiritual Gifts"

"The Development and Best Use of
Spiritual Gifts"
Scripture Basis: Romans. 12s-s and Peter,
4:1O II.
TN communicating His great message
Of love, hope and salvation to a
- sin-cursed world God has used a
great variety Of men and methods. He
has, however. demanded of those enter
ing His service that they be thoroughly
consecrated to that service. developing
and using to the very limit whatever
gifts they possessed, whether temporal or
spiritual.
In the parable Of The Talents" the
careful student will observe that the
talents" were not gifts but oppor-
tunities to use the gifts already possess
ed. That is ever Gods way in further
ing His cause. Using men OF varying
gifts and capabilities, He calls upon them
at such times and In such ways that II
they have developed and used their epir-
itual equipment the work will prosper
In their hands Three great thoughts
are In these scriptures.
First: That all men are not alike; and
because of that very fact the means OF
reaching and fostering the good In them
must vary. To some the stirring proph-
et'' Is the necessary messenger: to
another the kindly minister third
Of truth, while a fourth will respond
only to an intensely earliest ''exhorta-
ton Some must be ruled" and there
must ever remain number whose first
glimpse Of goodness is caught when they
see or receive some gift bestowed. How
"a IL "
are or possess be 1t ordinary or extraor-
binary, be used to Gods glory as op-
portunity offers. Then varying need, is
met by varying gift. and all are blessed.
Second: There is the thought Of the de-
velopment and use of our spiritual gifts.
The one fact that seems to have at
tended the birth and development Of
every great career has been an over
whelming sense Of personal limitation.
followed by a determination to know
and grow AS acorn and seed contain
oak and flower. so each consecrated life
holds an immense possibility Of strength
and beauty. of usefulness and perfume.
Thus in seeking to use In Gods cause
wisdom and purity we grow wise and
pure.
The third thought that springs from
the others is that Of the supreme motive
Of our lives. There is a keynote to every
life. We are sordid. selfish. sensual or
we are frank and free and pure. But as
the sweetest harmony ls DlenulnS VI
voices, SO in Gods service: to meet the
needs OF q complex world, highest eff
cheney Is gained when men and women.

full conservation to their king the vary
ing gifts that heaven has bestowed.
