Man1iness.

There is no need to be in fear of enc
mics or Of troubles. for God is the
refuge and strength of His people Our
part is to wait on the Lord; be of good
courage and He shall strengthen thine
heart. Wait. say. on the Lord"
Those who wait upon the Lord have
good reason to be of good courage.
True courage comes as God strength
eneth the heart. 1t is only when the
heart is fixed trusting in God. the mind
stayed upon Him. that one can be truly
courageous in the face of trials and
dangers.
1t has been well said that courage Is
not the absence of fear. but the forcing
of fear to obey reason and conscience
compelling yourself to do what is right
though You are afraid to-
Only God can give that grace. The
fear of God inspires us do many things
that otherwise we would shrink from
doing.
The fear of the world of ridicule is
a powerful influence and is only over
act is far more important than a cour-
ageous impulse. 1t is the doing of a
brave thing that counts. though done in
fear and trembling.
Christian courage is exemplified in the
manifestation of the spirit of what we
understand by the term manliness.. This
spirit in moral and spiritual things ex-
lists as strongly in one sex as the other.
1t means nobility. honor. self-sacriice.

strategic point from which Christ could
make his attack upon Jerusalem.
During His life in Bethany, where Jesus
loved to be, the people noticed the
marked change in His methods. Previ-
ously. whenever the question of the king
ship was broached Christ had courted re-
tirement and cautioned His disciples
against even heralding His miracles.
Now He courted publicity. for He knew
that the hour of His crucifiXion was
drawing rapidly near. and the assertion
of His claims would not only encourage

Choir Mntbers
are disappearing

Choir mothers in Episcopal churches
are disappearing. and universal regret il
heard over the fact.
Years ago, when vested choirs were
new, most boys sang without pay. Some
elderly woman of the parish, working for
love of it. mended the vestments, combed
the hair of the boys before they went into
chancels. watched the young hopefuls
that they behaved themselves. at least
while in sight of congregations, and to
keep them in heart gave them during the
week entertainments of various sorts and
in summer took them on outings. Many
mothers served fifteen to twenty years.

With increasing wealth of Episcopal
congregations boy singers have come
to be paid in larger and larger num-
bers Professional musicians have
come in as choirmasters. Boys either
behaved themselves or were dis.
| charged.
In some large eastern cities choir
| schools have been founded which give
| to boys with promising voices good
secondary school educations in return
for. singing once each weekday and
| twice Sundays. Often the whole coun>
| try is ransacked for boys to fill these
| famous choirs and get training in these
! expensive schools.
These changes put professionalism
into Episcopal choirs to an extent that
drives out the volunteer boys, and
! with them the choir mothers. who once
looked to their appearance. their con-
duct. their character.
The change is lowering in many in
stances the tone of the choirs. while
raising the character of the music
rendered. Methodist and some other
! churches are initiating Episcopal ones
and going through similar experiences.
1t is stated that hardly a fourth of the
choir mothers are to be found in
churches today that there were fifteen
wears ago.

we may be certain that courage is pos

Christ prepared for the public prelude
to His passion by exercising His author
ity as king by ordering His disciples to
exercise the power of requisition, that
frequently during a campaign, when
there is need for horses and cattle, is
instituted by the authority of tht state
that supersedes the rights OF individuals.

sent them after the colt, with the or
ders to sa- to the owner that "the Lord
hath need of him"
They did not act like some modern fol-
lowers. who think that their profession
of faith and love frees them from obey
ing the commands of Christ. their spir-
itual King. If we loved Him> as we
ought then we would prove our love by
Loyalty obeying every command of our
Lord. If we ignore His power and fail
to do the will of our King we will find
in the end that our failure will result in
our condemnation as a traitor and i'm
postor.
Private rights must always give way
to the exigencies of the state. When
Jesus sent them forth with the requisi-
ton for the colt He claimed not only
that He was Jehovah, but also. stranger

God can use all; but He does not call
any one to work that is beyond his
courage to carry out
I'm one respect all men are weak: but
in their weakness they must not be weak
lings''
1t is in the development of character
that courage is gained for the God-ap-
pointed undertakings of life
In the context of the courage verse we
have Illustration that a man must be-
come prepared before God commissions
him to a work recurring fortitude and
courage. Not that any one can make
himself worthy and courageous in him
self: but ne must pass through the trials
and experiences by which courage is cui-
tivated.
God does not give man his character:
but divine help is given so that every
man may make himself.
Joshua was commissioned to perform
two great duties requiring ability and
courage: first, the seizure and division of
the land: second. the establishment of the
theocracy. No doubt there were other
good and true men in lsrears hosts. but
Joshua had special training for such du-
ties.
He had gained strength of character
in his successful warfare against the
hordes of Amalekites at Rephidim. and
in his long and intimate association
with Moses in administering the affairs
of the people.
God does not choose novices for great
and important undertakings. He makes
much of those who make much of
themselves. Joshua was chosen on ac-
count of his special fitness: but that
fitness came from his inclination. and
not from inherent strength. He recog-
niZed that the source of all strength
is God.
God wants strong. courageous men.
1t is not so much great deeds He
calls for as great, strong and brave
men.

shown in crowned splendor among the
martyrs of truth. There is no sight
more sublime than man enduring the
flames that scorch him in the path of
duty; mightier than the mighty rebukes
of millions he walks alone; undis-

some repentant child of sin, for Chr'st's s

in sublimity and divinity all else the
