The Kings Highway.

When We grasp the meaning and sig
nitcance of Paul's idea of the business
of life we will find ourselves on the
Kings Highway. which is free from
ruts. We will study to be quiet and
do our own business.
Quiet" and business" do not al
ways go together. In some business
there is no quiet-all is hustle, noise,
rattle and din; and there may be a
quiet where there is no business-only
laZiness.
Paul joins the two-quiet and bust
ness. They go together in true work
of life Quiet work is the. strongest,
happiest and divinest work. How qui-
city God works in all the operations
of His universe.
How quietly Christ worked.
He did not cry or cause His voice
to be heard in the streets"
1t is not the noisy merchant or
preacher that does the best work; and
quiet work requires study.
THAT ye study to he quiet and to do
your own business"
The more thought given to any work
the less danger of getting into ruts.
Study gives the worker definite aim

1t is for all classes, who have lost in

Personal Rewards.

The Galatians. like many today need
ed to learn the lesson of generous con-
tributiOns toward the support Of their
rellglouS leaders. The man who fails
to make his contributions toward the
extension of the kingdom of God reaps
the result of his own failure as "A trus-
tee of the Lords treasures.
Paul encouraged us 10 live and labor
for the uplift of men not only by see
ing and enjoying the blessing of re-
storing men to society and to their fam
lilies, but by the hope of the rewards
that God viii give as Il result of our eff
forts, for whatsoever n ma n SoWeth that
shall he also reap. The law of growth
applies in the spiritual world well 9
I'm the vegetable world. We are deter
mining now by our daily life and work
for Christ and the church just what our
future shall be, for shall reap what
We SOW.
The interval between the seed SOW
ing and harvest frequently calls for
long season of waiting. There are sea-
sons in the battle for reforms that APP
pear dark, but just as 1t is always dark
est just before morning, SO the times
when everything appears to be against
the possibility of victory are the hours
when We should have faith in the
promises of God and patiently wait un-
til He gives us the rewards of service.
We shall reap the results of our SOW
ing-whether we have soWed to the
flesh or spirit-at the time of the
harvest Meanwhile, as we have tbs.
opportunity let us do good to all and
especially to our fellow Christians,
knowing this. that whatsoever a man
so~eth that shall he also reap.

give to the word in our daily speech,
for there temperance is self-control
in the fullest sense, which result is
attained by those who. belonging to
Jesus Christ, have already crucitied
their earthly nature, with its passions
and its cravings"
Every follower of the Lord has duties
that he owes to God. his fellowman
and himself that require the Chris
tan to rule his conduct by the Holy
Spirit, through whom he has received
the life from above.
Whatever affects the veal of the ma
ton or the welfare of humanity de-
mands not only our consideration. but
it summons US to the battle line on the
side of the right to fight until the
battle for human progress has been
won. The lesson calls US to the front.
for We are living in an age Of strug
gle and agonies that are the birth
throes of the new era in which the
true brotherhood will become supreme
through the carrying out the spirit
of the Master that Paul unfolds in The
lesson before us concerning our per-
sonal responsibility.
