OF the pleasures OF life and forgets con-

sought to teach men by the trials Of life.
1t is difficult for men who are not walk

men. The children of Israel were short

in the cloud and to observe or trust His
power to provide for their needs. Israel

God insulted Jehovah. who was testing
their spiritual life
When the test OF faith was applied un-
der the pressure of want which they
imagined would come to them in the
desert. Israel failed. They had not want
ed for anything, but they were borrow
ing trouble. They were filled with fear
because they saw that their scant SUP
plies would soon be exhausted, and they
knew OF no way to replenish their RAPID

who never suffers any man or nation TO
be tempted above what they are able To
bear, heard their murmurings and re-
vealed to Moses the providentia plans by
which He proposed to care for their
physical needs.

The censure OF the world is not against
the teachings Of Christianity, but against
the shortcomings of those processing
Christianity. 1t is sad thing that there
are so many unworthy professors Of re-
ligion, yet the fact that the worlds CEN
sure Is directed against the hypocrite
and not the true Christian Is glorious
compliment to Christianity itself
Very few deny the excellence of Chris
tan ethics, but many sneer at Christian
profession They honor the ethics in
their denunciation Of Christianity's fol-
lowers who fail to act as its teachings
direct
The genuine proof of Christianity is In
it's practice. It is proved not by logic. but
by experience.

Of Christianity are found.
The enemies of Christianity acknowledge
the superiority of the Christian code of
life when they taunt the Christian for
not living up to the principles Of his pro-
fession. They blame the Christian most
severely in pointing out the contrast be-

Internal Evidence.

Investigation OF the external evidences
of Christianity show that the truths Of
revealed religion are in the highest de-
gree probable, yet do not amount to
mathematical certainty; but the internal
evidences as seen in the Transforming
power of Christianity manifested in the
hearts and lives of men afford con-
elusive proof.
The Influences of Christianity in mold
ing the moral character of men are what
has brought to the world the blessings Of
civilization. We are proud of the adj
yancement in the arts and sciences In
freedom and in the operation Of just
laws, yet we often forget how largely We
are indebted to Christianity for these
and a thousand other blessings by which
we are surrounded.
What kind of laws?
What kind of civilization would We
have today II Christianity had not ap-
peared?
1t Is only in so far as Christianity Is
mixed up with our individual and national
life that we have the blessings Of law
and order and the prevalence OF the
spirit of good will among men. It 10
the light of Christianity that gives DIFF
ferent aspect to the hopes. aspirations
and endeavors Of mankind. Out OF Its
teachings have come all the benign Gus
toms of social life and all the just laws
on our statute books.
