call is not understood or needed.

Fellow servants Of the same Mas
ter, is it not still our duty to keep
on calling, ITO obey, not only the
direct call, but TO do what we know
to be the will and desire of our
Heavenly Master?
If we have a light in our schools,
have we right to hide this under
bushel? We should put the light on
a candlestick where it may light all
that are in the house-an the
house is our conference. But we
must also understand why we are
to let the light shine, or why our
good works should be seen. 1t is
our Father in heaven Who is there.
by glorified.
II we have faith, our prayers
should really mean something; and
if we really do mean what we say,
then our efforts shall be attended
by greater results. We can not ask
for Gods blessing on our institu-
tons Of learning nor ask God to
make them nurseries for His King
dom, unless we expect to do some
thing ourselves. God does not per-
form outright miracles when there
is something we can do ourselves.
He lets us be His servants, His tools,
If he gives, He at least expects us
to stretch out our hands to receive.
But our Lord and Master expects
and should receive all the honor for
all the mercies He daily bestows
upon us. If we are our Masters
servants, we should give the very
best service we can offer. Even of
the best, we cannot boast, unless
we yield ourselves so wholly into
our Masters hand, that our weak
ness becomes strength in the Lord.
How many of your sons or daugh-
ters have had the privilege of at
tending at one of our schools? Or
you, pastors, and delegates, how
many sons and daughters has your
congregation sent? Sometimes we
do not think that the small congre-
cations are worth much or can do
much: but know of a congrega-
ton, that altho it has for number
of years had less than twenty mem
bers, yet, during the last twelve
years, students to the number of
half its membership have been sent
to our schools. What this little
congregation has done, the larger
ones should try to do. Have you
really done your very best to let
our young people understand what
blessings come from Christian ed
ucation? In your congregation do
you want more young people who
have received a Christian educa-
ton?
In your community, in your
Young Peoples Society, in your
Sunday School, in your congrega-
ton, who are the leaders? Who
are the ones to mould right thots,
or to put the thots into right aclc<,
if not those who have the Word of
God as foundation for their educa-
ton.
Our schools are in reality the
best kind of mission field in which
to plant the Word of Life. The har-
vest is always sure, and we can
know approximately when to expect
it. The Words of Truth and Light
are planted in the hearts of our
young people who soon 60 out into
the busy world where each one be-
comes the center from which light
in turn radiates. The light is not
Pickering or unsteady, not one that
is hid under bushel; but light,
strong, steady and bright, a beacon
light to guide away from dangers
and temptations and sin into the
haven of peace and rest, where
dangers and storms threaten no
more. ~.~
Let US then think and say about
our schools:
CMath. 5:14-16) We are the light
of the world. A city that is set on
a hill cannot be hid. Neither do
men light candle, and put it under
a bushel, but on candlestick; and
it giveth light unto all that are in
the house. Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Fa-
Their which is in heaven.
