matically asserts there is none other on which men are safe. Peter calls our attention to this chief cornerstone to which men coming have their lives touched with his living power, and they, too, become living stones to build up the spiritual house. adorned with the presence of the Lord Jesus,
 Eut of all this lteuse Jesus Christ is the chief cornerst9ne, the picked and precious stone. One laid by God him. self in order that out of all the con- fusion of lifes thirsting, hungerfng, de- spairing souls might come to this stone and find anchorage for time and eter- -nity. No life can build a proper building without this chief stone of Jesus to bind and cement the life of can stand the storms of life or the final great testing of God. Anchored here in the rock of ages, with all the hopes and aspirations bound up in Gods elected chosen stone, no failure is possible for that life.
 We think, however, of the quadran- gular building, and would link another cornerstone, not as supplying the place Of the chief stone, or in any way an- nuling it's primary right, but this building is Q cooperative one, where God and man build together; God sup plies the chief stone and assists us in laying others to completion.
 Joining with him. we lay the stone of honesty of purpose Honesty must be at the root of all our relationships with the chief cornerstone Jesus. Hon est in our relating of our life to Him. Be sure our motives are true and the, union real. Honest in our dealing with our own souls, and the analysis of our condition before God and man. Honest in our destination of Sin Frank with the truth Always carefully yet fear lessly choosing the tr,1er and nob1er things of life. Having all things open and clear in His sight Failure to be honest in all our relations to ourselves, sc5 man and to God blinds our vision and brings our life into bondage.
 A third cornerstone for the building Of this life is devotion to duty. The ersaladowins rock of ages leads our honesty Of purpose to express itself in our devotion to duty. Any man who fails to do his. duty fails in his iife's mission. Duty1s stern but just Some times it's ternness makes us falter be- fore the task But let that man know who tries to shrik his duty in any sphere whatsoever, whether to God, man or himself, ties himself to a roar ing lion which always fpllosw his path waiting to spring Gpnn him and de- strey his life. As Daniel Webster puts it, There is no evil We cannot face or ice from but the consequences of duty dfsregarded. 4 sense of obligation pur- sues lis ever. 1t Is ornnipresent like the Deity The path of duty may lead up the steep rocky pTecipice or down into the dark ravines of life where ter- TOTS live. But follow our duty we must. Only as we keep to the path of
