Whole-and therein sinned to their own
destruction.-J. Stuart Holden.
In one of Olive Schreiner's Dreams
the mother sought the highest blessing
Tor her unborn babe, and the boon
that was granted her was that THE
ideal shall be real to him. That
little parable stands all tests. For even
the most practical" and earth-bound
of US know that the enviable ones of
earth are they who walk through this
world with the light of another world
in their eyes; to whom spiritual things
are more real and precious than all the
pleasures of earth. And these vision
aries, these dreamers, these idealists,
are, we know. the very leaven of our
civilization, which would putrefy and
dlslntegrate without them. 1t is the
presence of heaven on earth that
makes sure a heaven hereafter

Terse Comments for Jan. 5, THE Ideal
Christian: His Conservation" Mark
u: 2S-34.
Ry WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

This is the time of good resolutions
and of the forward look. Questions OF
character and ideals are freshly up
with sensitive persons as they enter
this new year. The old, old problem,
a realization of which is the hallmark
of ineness of soul, is how to be better
ones self, and to do better for others.
Everybody wants self-improyement. Is
there any rule, of universal application
and of unquestioned efficacy, whereby
this end may be gained? There is.
There is a master word upon the sub
ject The way to this life is clearly
marked. It is the way of self-forget-
ting devotedness to the mind of Christ.
The consecrated life is the conquering
life: the life of power as we'll as the
life of peace and purity. When our all
is given into the keeping of Christ,
then his unlimited ability is pledged to
the highest employment of that trust.
Paul wrote the great truth in the ia
miliar words of his letter to his Ro-
man friends, tI beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies a living sacrifice
holy. acceptable to God, which is your
spiritual service

The orbit of life is too small when
one tries to live for and within ones
self. The human soul is made to
swing through vaster spaces than this.
Unless it exists primarily for some OBJ
jective outside of itself, a life is GER
tain to be stunted and distorted. Char
acter comes to it's fullest growth when
it has for it's aim some great godlike
goal; when, in the lofty words of the
apostle it can cry, For to me to live
is Christ Thus we find it a law of
the higher nature that conservation is
emancipation.
Real self-consecration is soul-conser-
walton.
We have, within the past five years.

tical than the 'hard-headed'' critics at
whose hands he suffered so much In
somewhat similar fashion, the men and
women who talk of conservation and of
preemlnence of the life that is spiritual
and of the vital import of communion
with God, are often regarded with i'm
patience and disdain by practical
folk. Yet it is certain that in due time
all men will know that the dreamers
of dreams for the spiritual life were
wiser in their day than the grubbers
in the dirt, the persons who would be-
lieve only what they could see and
handle. The greatest truth of life is
the truth of the possibility of the in

The ideal Christian is the Christian
with ideals. Where there is no Wis

Religion cannot be measured by or
binary rules. 1t is thing of paradoxes
over and above all conventions Thus
it teaches a man that the surest way
to have liberty is to give himself in
bondage to Christ. Eye are not your

He is to ascend by surrenderer; he is
to get only by giving; he is to attain

man would come after me, let him deny
himself and take up his cross and fol-

law which does not square with any
of earth's mathematics. But the testi-
mony of the centuries vindicated the
wisdom of the Scriptures, which bid
the followers of Christ to immediate
their self interest in His great pur-
poses. Conservation is paradoxically
self preservation.
