Christian Character Childlike.

Calling child, Jesus surprised His dis
@iples by making the spirit of the chlld
the standard Of Christian character. 1t
must have been a sharp rebuke to them
when Christ took their Thoughts back TO
the commencement of Christian life py
! insisting on the necessity OF conversion.
They should have been inquiring whether
they were members of the kingdom ana
not as to who among them would nave
the chief places in His realm Unless We
have turned to God in a spirit OF trust,
love and obedience so that he can take
our imperfect lives and make them py
divine favor what they ought to be, we
are not in His kingdom:
The child, standing there IN It's simple

sire for greatness or ambition, was SYM
bolical not of the child's conversion. but
of the apostles need to be converted 10
the spirit of the child. God only impiants
life from above to those who possess
the childlike spirit and seek the divine
favor by repentance. faith and confess
sion of Christ as personal savior
The childlike attitude, according TO
Jesus. is essential also to advancement in
the kingdom Of heaven. The secret or
greatness is found in the spirit that
prompts men to humble themselves SO
that they can serve their feliowmen the
hest for ''he that humbleth himself shall

In Gods Storehouse.

In Gods great storehouse of the clouds
are laid up treasures in reserve for His
use in fighting for His people and against
His and their enemies.
Out of these treasures God In the lays
Of Noah destroyed a wicked world by
opening the windows of heaven and pour
ing out waters to cover the whole earth.
and out of these treasures were cast
down the great hailStones upon the ar
mics Of the enemies OF Israel. causing
greater destruction Of the hosts OF tho
Amorites than the children of Israel h ID
slain by the sword.
In seeing that God can fight as effect
ually with snow and hall as with 'he
sword of an angel. we should LEI IN the
lesson Of how great a folly 1t is to ar
ray ourselves against God. and how Inn
portant 1t is to make our peace with Him.
The snow more than any other one
thing illustrates the power OF litt.s
things when accumulated into one body.

absolute obedience. The spirit OF protest
against the special privileges extended TO
the three-Peter. James and John-shoWs
that there came to the discouraged dis
ciples a rapid reaction after the events OF
our past two lessons. This first exhibit
ton of personal jealousy among the
twelve proves that they had not grasped
the teachings Of Jesus concerning the
kingdom.
The differences that had developed
among the apostles on the journey TO
Capernaum may have been increased by
the Masters signaily separating Peter
from the others upon their return to the
city that had been the Lords headquar-
tiers during his Galilean ministry for
Christ's final visit. They had hardly
reached home when the question of pay
ing tribute was raised. and Peter with
out comforting with Jesus had agreed
that Christ would pay it. The converse
ton between the Master and Peter
showed the latter his mistake. and he
was directed to go to the sea of Galilee
and catch a fish that would have In its
mouth the needed amount to pay the
tax for both Peter and his Lord. The
protest against personal preferment was
started by doubtless the most self-con-
scious of the company-the subordinate
members of a company usually are apt
to be jealous of their privileges
1t was all right for them to be members

Voices of the Snow.

which is ever gentle. gracious and loving,
and speaks only in the language of

love, the voice of the snow is heard in
tones Of harshness and terror and dread.

Suggestions of the Snow.

The snow suggests many thoughts con-
corning things in the spiritual life. AS
muddy and polluted water is by the
mysterious laws Of nature carried to-
ward the stars and transformed into star
shaped crystals of matchless beauty,
and ~ another law of nature gravita-
ton, is brought down to cover the earth
with a beautiful mantle Of white, so the
thought comes that by the laws Of spirit
ual regeneration, we may. through di-
vine power, he. the means of lift
ing a polluted soul from the mire Of sin,
which soul shall be carried to the skies.
and by the spiritual law of atonement
transformed into a star that shall shine
forever and ever in the crown of our
rejoicing and forever dwell where all are
arrayed in immortal white.
The beauty of the snow suggests the
thought Of the beauty of ..oliness in the
soul that has been washed and made
white in the blood of the Lamb The
that tn. heart may also be pure and
undefiled before the God of all purity
Whatever the thoughts may be that
! the snow will bring to our minds there
is one that is ever held in remembrance
by the soul that has been redeemed from
the vileness OF sin.
1t is the thought OF those wonderful
words: Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow."
The Rev. r. M. McCheyne was observed
looking out of his window one clear
, frosty winters day during his last sick
SIS The sun shone and the snow gilt
tered with wilderness. He looked upon II
with glowing eyes and was heard saying
to himself. over and over. the words
Whittier than snow.'
Whittier than snow!"
1t Is stupendous thought to conceive
that the black stain Of sin can be cover
ed by Gods gracious love for q repentant
sinner. so that it shall be white as snow.
How can any one who has felt a sense OF
pardoning grace ever look upon the
dazzling. immaculate wilderness Of the
snow without thinking of those gracious
words. Though your sins be as scarlet
they shall be as white as snow"
