fruitful field for religious cultivation.
The useful Christian Is a church man.
It Is of the highest Importance that a
man be member Of the church. a regu-
lar attendant upon public worship, a
worker in the Sabbath school, and COM
municant at the Lords table; but his
duty Is not wholly fulfilled by these OBJ
servances.

The Promising Field.

The mission Of Christianity Is to leaven
tho whole body Of society. The basis upon
which the Christian is to act Is repre-
scented by the injunction: Love thy
neighbor as myself"
His example in the observance Of the
law of kindness, the law Of benevolence
and the law Of justice and right is the
great agency In uplifting the moral tone
Of society. 1t may not yet be possible for
prosper by loving his neighbor just as he
does himself. but that is the goal to be
reached by Christian civilization.
The human race will not attain Its
brought under the influence of the great
law of Christian love, requiring that men
love their neighbors as they love them
selves.
The Christian who exemplifes this law
in his social intercourse is doing the
most for Christ. The one thing. above all
others to be erad!cated is selashness
Christ is ever and always the exponent
of the spirit of unselfishness. To teach
and practice this spirit In all his social
relations the Christian finds his greatest
field for usefulness. The social life of the
Christian must speak as loudly for Christ
as his church life.
There is an almost universal impress
sion said Henry Ward Beecher. that
while men are in the world and per-
forming their duties. they must be as
brickmakers are-that they must work in
dirt; and that, when they have got
through working in dirt, then they must
clean up and go to church. Men think
AS long as / am in the world. and doing
business. l must perform my business
according to the way OF the world: and
then when I have got through with the
necessary sacrifice to the world, 1 mus,
wash up. and go to church. and be a
Christian.
But the church life should not be sep.
arate and different from the life in the
world.
A Christian should be the same every.
whore and at all times and not at stated

There is much in the social world with
which religion can have no Fellowship:
but the mission of Christianity IL to show
the world that only harmful pleasures are
forbidden and that all healthy and inno-
cent amusements are not only commend
ed but are sweetened by religion.
When religion enters and controls the
social life, society will have lost nothing.
but gained much in its search for Joy
and happiness. The world has yet to
learn, what Christians in the social life
are daily teaching. the great truth that
there is no p,irth 30 hearty. no exhtl-
aration SO stimulating. no amusement SO
pleasurable. as that which religion allows
and commends."
Bearing Witness.
It is the peculiar office Of the Christian
In society to bear witness that religion
commends all that is helpful and whole
some and to bear witness against all that
is enfeebling and pernicious.
In discharging Thu double responsibility
the Christian turns to God. who Is over
all. for help.
He must be for u In our work and
play. or We shall utterly fail. In the
work of recognising and reforming the
social conditions Of the world God is
our only hope.
II thou suffer God to guide thee.
And hope in Him through all thy ways.
He'll give thee strength. whate'er betide thee.
And bear thee through the evil days;
Who trusts In Gods unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.

The Personal Message

The Scripture tells us that when tho
chief priests and Pharisees had heard
His parallels they perceived that He
spake OF them" The message Of
Christianity from the very first was
personal To every heart the Master
makes a direct appeal.
Read again the parable of the lesson
and apply 1t to your own life. Chris
tian, are you making use or abuse Of
your privilege? Are you holding your
life in trust for the Savior? Does it
bear fruit well pleasing to His sight?
Unbeliever, do you reject Christ as the
corner stone Of your life?
AS q passive agent you cannot live
complete life without Him. As an
active agent. His rejection means the
ultimate overthrow Of your plans and
aims.
Truly the parable has an application
to the nation. to society and to the in
dividual. By II We can guage our
selves to see whether we are good
husbandmen and are making the best
OF our opportunity to serve the Mas
ter with our talents. whatever they
may be-.

we have been given a great vineyard
to bring forth fruit. not to make us
proud and naughty. Rather It should

Righteousness. But even extending
