sorting our post, and proving treacher-
Gus to Jesus Christ Every true Amer
lean citizen should be anxious foi just
laws TO be enacted, and also that all

good men, sober, honest, upright, pru-
dent, wise competent men. ! am ready
to admit that after we have done our
best to select such men we will not
always succeed.
We should carefully and pra yerfully
study, as tar as possible, both sides OF
every question. Let us feel kindly to-
ward, and speak kindly Of, those who
may not see as we do. We must be
willing to sacrifice our personal inter
es.. for the general welfare. Let US
not hold to any man or any set Of men
because of any personal gain, or be-
cause Of any gain to any class of cit
liens to the hurt of others. We be-
'ole to a great nation. of which we
should feel proud, and it is a part of
our high duty to God and man TO use
all of our influence in every direction
10 establish just political institutions,
and enact laws which will project the
weakest as we'll as the strongest, the
poorest as we'll as the richest. 1t is a
natter of the highest moment, and of
The greatest importance, that every n
who loves God and his neiehbor should
do his duty in this respect. Yes, you
say, that may be all right, it is quite
evident to any mar who takes an intel
ligent and scriptual view of the scope
Of human duty that it is impossible for
us to neglect our political duty without
neslecting our duty to both God and
man, but what about party politics?
Well, Of that | have nothing to say.
This, however, | will say, that whatever
view We may take of political opinions,
when we think over the matter calf II
we must admit that there is no justii-
cation whatever for the violent Ian
euase which speakers and writer's frs-
q~uently use with reference to their OPP
ponents.
Again permit ms to say that every
real Christian is bound to keep his
temper while discussing politics. | in
sist upon the introduction of politeness
and courtesy in public lie. Unless
there is some very exceptional occasion
we ought to admit that those who differ
from us are. as a rule, quite as honest
as we are, that their sideal is a lofty
one, even if we prefer our own; and
that as a matter of fact we have not
the monopoly upon truth and wisdom
Let US remember that the mere ex-
istence of a democratic government in
itself is not sufficient without the CO.
operation of all good citizens to secure
the objects which are desired. Let me
say in conclusion that we should seek
to put away from our hearts all sell
6shness, and study earnestly and pray
to know the right, and then as
true, patriotic citizens do our whole du-
ty in the fear Of God and the love Of
our fellow man."

What is il that God best lovesT'
What is His purpose for me in lifeT'
Mr. Wells said the essence of the
spiritual mind Is the serious asking
Of these questions. Sin is either a
failure to ask these questions, or,
having asked them, a failure to con-
form the life TO the best answer we
can get to the question. Forgiveness
( is the sense OF assured restoration Of

these questions and purposes to con-
form his life TO the answer.
