Revealing the Secret Thoughts.

1t is a curious thing that a speaker
will taken an audience into his conf
dence to degree impossible with
even the closest friend. If we want
to know a mans Utmost mind on the
highest subjects in the world, we have
to go to his books or hear some dis
course of his. There Is a reserve that
seems to tighten the nearer we APP
proach each other, and release itself
when we are in the presence of our
fellow-creatures. To this anomaly
we owe the fact that the Injunction
of Jesus as to secrecy in prayer may
be fulfilled in public worship. In the
presence of a common humanity bent
on the same purpose the secrets OF
mems hearts have been brought into
prayer. Enter into thy closet" be-
comes a spiritual direction, and In the
public sanctuary men find themselves
praying in secret as nowhere else.
What lifelong intimacy will not bring
is realized in what friends hear from
one, though stranger, who speaks OF
things too private for personal con-
verse, but true to what is in the COM
mon heart Association brings out
what isolation hides Where two or
three are gathered together in my

midst of them ''-Christian Register.

What Failure Means.

Have you ever felt that all your eff
forts have been of no avail? and that
however hard You have tried, you
must know at last that you have
failed? But when there comes a time
when you can be alone with God. have
you not seen that he can bring again
from the dead all our decayed hopes
and stupefied ambitions? and cause
to bloom again the flower of unself-
ish achievement? He has come walk
ing in the cool of the day; he tar
ries long after the fevered conditions
of life's exacting sun have made their
inroads, and when the shadows of
evening fall. He is there to say, K
we have risen from failure 10 meet
him coming to us, ahat it is well, and
that, though we have been cast down,
we shall not utterly fail"

1t is not its task TO supply whole

There may be-there undoubtedly are

such things, because no other agency
IS meeting an imperative need. A
man lying wounded at the roadside
has claims on priests and Levites, AL
though first aid TO the injured is not

church's proper task, like her Lords,

Duty of the Church
The church has quite enough to do,
has the hardest and biggest of all
tasks to fulfill in furnishing the world
with religion, with principles and

Son of God. The precise methods by
which they shall be embodied in the
structure of society it is not for her
to say, for she has not been told. She
will be sympathetic with every at

but her unique function is to proclaim
the ideals train the men and women
who espouse them, and supply in the
person of her Lord the compelling
power and guiding wisdom for their
embodiment.
