Topic.-The ideal Christian His
courage.--Josh. /. l-s. tconsecration meet
ing.) Edited by Rev. Sherman Il. Doyle.
D. D.
In the religious history of the world
there have been many examples of SD
perb courage. There have been many
times In the worlds history when it
took great physical and moral courage
to be true to ones religious convic-
TONS But men have not been want
ing In courage. For their faith they
have been willing to hazard their lives.
and not few have willingly stood the
supreme test and have sacrificed life
itself for their religious convictions.
II we were to call the roll of earth's
houored dead we would find upon II
the names of a mighty multitude who
died as martyrs to their religious faith
and of countless others who, although
yet displayed matchless courage aid
Aeroism In the performance of duty
and IN defense of their faith Their
example should inspire us to noble.
heroic and self sacrificing deeds for
Christ and humanity.
Courage is demanded Of every Chris
tian- The days OF martyrdom have
passed. yet there is scarcely day in
Dur lives when we do not need courage
II we live up to our confession OF the
Christian faith. 1t requires courage to
speak the truth, to be honest In bust
ness, to deal justly with all men. to
live on religious convictions Joshua
needed courage to perform his great
work, and God commanded him to "be
strong and very courageous" But the
rank and file need courage as well as
great leaders, and, no matter how low
ly our position may be. we also need
daily to "be strong and very courage
ous.''
The source of Christian courage Is
In God. He promised to be with Joshua
SO that there shall not any man be
able to stand against thee all the days
OF thy life" Joshua believed God.
and God kept His promise to him.
Christ was sending His apostles upon
a dangerous mission, but as source
of strength to them He said. And. To-
/ am with thee always, even unto the
end of the world
They stood the test. and Christ full
filed His promises But these prom
ises are also ours. and II We accept
them and act upon them we. too, shall
find strength and grace for the hour
Of trial and Of need
The end Of Christian courage is
obedience to divine laws. only be |
thou strong and very courageous that |
thou mayest observe to do according |
to all the law"

clergyman in regard to sickness of one OF
his children from which quote as follows:
"Our two-year-old baby was very sick
at two different times and we came near
losing her. We had the best doctors,
but they did no, know what the trouble
was. In the FRS, sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said II acted
like scarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think il could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DR.. True's Elixir was recommended,
and after two days use she passed several
worms from two to three inches in length,
and is now well and strong and sleeps at
nights withoutfretting, tossing and starting
in fright as she did formerly"
win be glad to furnish this clergy
mans name and address TO anyone who
cares to write to me.
