Serving the Church.

The church is the God-ordained in.
strument for the redemption of the world
Christ instituted its sublime and sacred
ordinances just before the close of his
personal ministry among men.
If there is any service that is binding
upon the Christian it is that of loyalty
and devotion. to the church.
l believe in the church of the past and
present and believe in the church of the
future. AS the repository of the sub
lime truths of Gods word, it has eveI
ready a message for mankind of love
and hope.
The world may carp and cavil, deride
and despise the church's mission, but, aft.
er all, the purest and best the truest and
happiest are those who retain through
all the vicissitudes of life a simple. un-
faltering trust in the old, old story of the
cross and who find their greatest joys in
the services of the sanctuary.

Plate. They were not then able for that
service: but they were now to receive
power that would enable them to witness
at home and abroad. in Jerusalem and
all Judea, and unto the uttermost parts
of the earth.
This promise of power was not given
exclusively for His immediate disciples,
but for His followers in all ages.
The message. and more than that. the
command. to every Christian is "ye shall
be witnesses unto me-
Shining Lives.
Christian service is in letting the
light SO shine before men that they
may see your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heaven
Christians are to walk as children Of
light and not in darkness. for their life
is in Christ who is the light and the life
of men. They are to shine as lights in
the word.
AS lighthouse on a dangerous coast
warns the mariner Of peril, so the light
of the Christian shines to reveal the
dangers in life's voyage. In this light,
feeble as it is ofttimes, is the hope Of
the world.
Beecher said: do you ask, why not
do away with the church II it's members
make SO many mistakes?
Would you take away the lighthouse
because careless mariners, through wrong
observations. run their ships high and
dry upon the shore?
Would you put out the lamp in your
house because moths and millers burn
their wings in it?"
The light shining out from the Chris
tian's life is not perfect
There has not been, is not now, and
never will be in this world save that of
NhriS ifn II, ,,<vl,o
it is a light that sheds the only real
brightness in the worlds gloom.

Voiceless Service.
The service that counts, that is prac-
teal, is that which can be seen. The
gas jet has no voice, the electric bulb
does not talk. but both shine.
The sun utters no language, but it's
radiance fills the earth.
So the Christians actions shine out his
or her religion.
1t is seen Of men as the light of a
lamp is seen; and Christianity, in it's
unity, is like the sun, shedding its radi-
ance over the world. 1t is a light that
shall not fail, but shall grow brighter
glorious, until the perfect day.
The Christians service as light bearer
finds illustration in the lighting of the
streets of a city. The first lamp that is
lighted penetrates only a little of the
darkness. but as another and another are
lighted we see the light spreading from
point to point until all are lighted and
the whole place is Illuminated
So the light of one Christian joins with
that of another. The light of one church
with that of another church; that Of one
community with a neighboring commun-
ity; that of one nation with another ma
ton until the light of Christ's gospel
shall be diffused throughout the whole
world.

Serving the Poor.

The opportunity for practical service is
in mlnistering to the poor and. needy
ones around US. There is no possibility
of escaping this obligation, for the poor
We have with you always
In rendering service to others we not
only do them good, but serve our own
highest good in the most effective way,
if the serving others is for their sakes
and not for our own.
There is no reward anywhere promised
in recompense for selfish actions.
If bread is cast upon the waters with
no other motive than that it may be
found again. there is no right to hope for
finding it after many days; but if what is
done for others is suggested by love and
has no thought of returning benefits
there is sure promise of reward and
blessing.
1t is the law of God that good begets
good. but the goodness must be real. not
assumed pretended
To do good act only to gain personal
advantage is not within Christs deiini
ton of goodness
The accepted service is one of sacri
flee. Christ served not Himself, but 9TH
ers, and for their good. not His own.
There was nothing that man could do for
Him. He was God, equal with the F'a-
Their, and for time surrendered the
glOries of heaven and offered Himself as
a sacrifice on the ignominicus cross to
serve those who We're even His enemies.

Christian Citizenship.

The hope of every nation is in the
righteousness of the people.
The true Christian knows the duties
and obligations of true patriotism He is
not only ready to wear the uniform of
his government when assailed by for
eign or domestic foes, but at all times
to carry the sword of the spirit ard fight
against spiritual wickedness in high
places and against the powers of sin and
evil, which are more dangerous to the
peace and prosperity of the country
than all the military forces that might
be arrayed against it.
In this warfare it is not bullets, but
ballots, and the teaching and preaching
and practicing of the truths of the king
dom of God on earth. When those truths
are esta blished among men there will be

With such functions and powers the
American citizen has need of high char

Revelation Restores and Revives.

The word of the Lord is always fitted
to meet the needs of men. 1t was SO when
we read for the first time that the word
of the lord came" to Abram with the
message Fear not, Abram; l am thy
shield and thy exceeding great reward.
The fear nots' of Scripture are all
reasonable, and will repay any one VINO
studies them for spiritual strength and
comfort There was no reason for Abram
to fear amid his success the return of
Chedorlaomer when he knew that Je-
hovah was his shield The scattered
fiocks needed no protection, even by
means of a stockade. He was safe
as his flocks. for the invisible shield that
protected him and his could not be pene-
trated by his foes.
This first revelation of the Almighty as
a shield was united with the promised

He not only is good. but does good.
The chief end of man is not to be

A moral life is a good life. but it may

Practical Christian service is mani

In addition to blameless behavior in the
abstract there is the requirement for
