war situation, SO far as military op.

from the rival headquarters indicate
that any decisive development On
either side is still in the balance, al.
though on the face of the known

the German general Mackensen has
done at Lodz. what Bazaine in the

Folly of the careless set out to build
oHt'der. character, and to
fight a good fight against Satan and
sin. Therefore they must expect a hard
battle, and must wage a good warfare.
"salt Is Good, But
Jesus used salt as a symbol repre-
senting loyalty to God, which all His
followers must have and maintain. If
salt lose Its value for seasoning pur-
poses, it is useless. So the Christian
has a special purpose in the world-to
be a preserving power, and to bring out
the good qualities of others. If he
fails to do so, he is of no particular
service.
HE that hath ears to hear, let him
hear" All Jesus followers are to heed
these words. Whoever neglects them
despises the One who gave them, and
will surely fail of a blessing that
might have been secured. We are not
to MEASURE the world by the standards
with which we measure ourselves and
all processing to be Jesus followers.
The worlds highest standard is the
Golden Rule. The Christians highest
standard is self-sacri1ce in doing the
Fathers will.

that the vast number of nominal Chris
tians have been, so to speak, inveigled
into processing what they never in
tended to profess. Many have been
entrapped into processing Christianity
who never were Christians, according
to the Masters conditions of disciple
ship, who never hearken to His Word,
who are not c%onsecrated to His will.
The Cost of Discipleship.
IF any man come to Me, and hate
not father, mother, wife, children.
brethren, sisters, yea, and his own life
also, he cannot be My disciple. And
whatsoever doth not Dear his cross, and
come after Me. cannot be My disciple"
Surely there is no Excuse for misunder-
standing such plain conditions! The
Masters general teaching was that the
whole world is estranged from God
and without right to everlasting life.
But He came to die, hat they might
have opportunity to return to Divine
favor. He did not say that only His
followers would have an opportunity
Of future life. Those who so declare
are adding to Gods Word something
out of harmony with its teachings.
The word hate is apparently used in
contrast with love. To be Christ's dis
ciple, then, means that we must so
love the Lord and the principles for
which He stands that love for others
in comparison would be hatred. We
are to be ready to sacrifice at the
Lords command every earthly hope,
aim, object, and to lay down our lives
willingly, gladly. Such as manifest de
votion Of this kind can be trusted with
anything.
The fact that Jesus Himself was of
this character, and placed the Fathers
will above all else, is an assurance
that all His joint-heirs in the Kingdom
will have the same spirit. The King
dom will not be a selfish one, but the
very reverse. The kings, princes and
judges of that Kingdom will be not
only irresistible in power, but unbrib-
able. With them the Divine standard
will be first, in the absolute sense.
Definition Of Cross Bearing.
Adding to the severity of the terms,
Jesus declared, whatsoever doth not
bear his cross, and come after Me, can
not be My disciple" After we have
taken our stand on the Lords side, we
must be proven. Only those who dem
onstrate their ~worthiness by their

the Lord. Cross-bearing must be a
daily matter. Our crosses are those
oppositions of the world, the flesh and
the Devil, which cross the Divine will
as laid down in the Lords Word. The
only proper sentiment is that which
the Master expressed, saying, mot My
will, but Thine, be DONE"
