Reason viii Do Much to Prevent
Our Convictions From Be-
coming Weak.


Come, now, let us reason together.
saith the Lord" Isaiah l., is.
The greatest Of the Hebrew proph-
cts puts these words into the mouth
of God The Almighty is represented
as bewailing the fact that men do not
think enough In their religion. Israel
doth not know. my people doth not
consider" so runs the divine arraign-
ment According to Isaiah God
wishes them to think with him. The.
weakness of religious people In all
generations has been that they have
not thought enough.
II is wicked not to think. A man
gives up his manhood who does not
think We are unworthy of the Chris
tian name If we are too timid to
scrutinize and investigate and reason
about every doctrine which the re-
ligion OF Jesus teaches. Suppose
that thinking does lead you into
doubt. Doubt is oftentimes medicinal.
There is more faith in honest doubt
than in creed about which you are
afraid to think. Doubt is an expert
ence which belongs to growing life.
A man must fight his way through
doubt to the clear and sunlit spaces
which lie beyond. He can do this only
by hard and honest thinking. Come.
let us reason together" saith the,
Lord.
This has been the exhortation OF
the Almighty from the beginning. In
the fitness of time Jesus came. and.
in Jesus we hear God saying. Come,
now, let us reason together" Jesus
was always reasoning. 1t has been
said that he never argued, and that is
true If we mean he never argued in
the modern sense of the word. but in
/ the deepest sense he was always ar
guing His whole speech was rea-
soned argument. His questions are
mightier than syllogisms and compel
the mind to reason. ''Is not a man
better than a sheep?" What think
ye?" IF man have hundred sheep
and one Of them be gone astray, doth
he not leave the ninety and nine and
goeth into the mountains and seek
eth that which is gone astray." The
priest the Levite, the Samaritan;

PRAYING for our Friends.

Praying for our friends and ac-
quaintances is the best service that
we can ever render them. But how
often have we felt sharply limited in
the time and opportunity at our dis
posal for praying as we should like
to pray for the many whom we hold
dear, A man of manifold and heavy
responsibilities, and OF rich prayer
life, told friend of simple prac-
tice that had helped him in this diff
ficulty. Il am not able to do nearly
what should like to do in the way
of prayer for my friends" he said.
but whenever the thought of friend
comes into our mind, in the midst Of
other duties, we can on the instant
Just think upward as we think of
that friend, and the upward thought
will surely be received by the father
in heaven as carrying that friend be-
fore him in loving intercession. Per-
haps the life of prayer without ceas-
ing is just life of ceaselessly up
ward thinking. Selected.
