the joyful soul feel that the Master
has made mistake in his identity and
will follow up the subject, whereupon
that soul will be told that inasmuch as
it came to the distressed brother, he
came to be Master. -

You must follow your conscience. 1t
follow it otherwise you are not an
honest man. You may follow it and
be dishonest, but you are dead sure
can tell. Slip your fingures into your
and see how automatically the big
coins slip through and not how little
ones stop in the fingers. That is
mystery indeed. If you throw
prunes or potatoes or sand on screen
the little pieces go through while the
big ones stop. Not SO with this
donation cause. The Lord gets what
is left if he gets any at all. No ques-
ton about it, we give our old clothes
to the poor, and thus lay up treasure
in heaven. / went once to the capital

The drill of the dentist gets into

The gospel truth will get there after
a while. We walk up bravely and
shell out to the dentist his forty seven

Some men lose every cent they
ever put into church work. They
do it from the wrong motive. The
church is making the mistake of sup
posing that 1t must have all the money
pass through its treasury and have
its stamp thereon, before it is recorded
in heaven. This is one of the biggest
mistakes the church is making today.
Millions OF money go to the cause of
Jesus Christ that never gets into the
hands OF the church at all. 1t goes
by or around or under, and many an
old fellow who does not belong to the
church and never did, slips Jesus coin
right along. His critism of the church
is not aimed at the Christ at all, but
at some unconverted set who try to
make us think they are the agents of
God. There are two great strains of
money and food and raiment going
into the cause of Christ right along,
while the other stream is fed BY the
great horde of persons who have been
disgusted with weaknesses in the
church and are doing good work sim
gle handed or in some club.
Fray like you had to trust it all to
God and then work like God had en-
trusted it all to you. Go and do some
thing for the cause of humanity and
see how long it is before you get your
reward, and yet if you do that thing
because OF the reward, you lose it. It
is said that if you will rub your shout
der against the cornor of a house
without thinking about fox, it will
cure you of the worst kind of rheu-
matism. The bible inmates that
Faith is believing what you know is
not so. To start into this cause right,
you must begin to do things which
you know God cares nothing about.
Whenever you reach a point in the
developmnt of your soul whrein you
cannot blieve further and will not
accept it any further, you are through
then and there and would just as we'll
go home, for you will never be saved.
