the Russian duma will be prorogued
today until the middle of November.
An imperial decree to this effect
has been issued, the correspondent
says, and was communicated last

cabinet and to Michael Rodzianko,
president of the duma- The premier

civil authorities of Petrograd and
Moscow with regard to forestalling

the liberals as untimely.

'The church In Galatia," said the
speaker. was not altogether unlike
many churches of today. False teach
ers were to be found in it. Teachers
who were perverting the pure doc
times of the gospel; teachers who
were leading men astray Dissension
was present, strife prevailed, and jeal
ousies existed. All of these troubled
the apostle Paul. So he said, let no
man trouble me. Put an end to your
contentious among yourselves; re-
turn to the pure doctrines of the Cos
pei; abandon those that are leading
you astray; separate from the church
those who corrupt and disturb it; and
let me be grieved no longer by your
objections from the truth. These con-
ditions my brother and sister, cause
any man who loves the Lord Jesus,
and who has a desire to see men
saved. trouble. And he who is not
walking in fellowship and communion
with God and his fellowman is q
trouble maker, even though he profess
to be christian. He ought to be
separated from the church
Further, the apostle would not be /

Must Furnish Recreation.

There is a certain element in the at
mosphere OF the saloon which must be
recognized, the speaker said. He said
he was glad Iowa was going TO abolish
the saloons, and that it was up to the
schools and the churches between
now and the first Of the year to start
SALOONS of their own" He recon-
mended giving the laboring man rec
reation through these eenters, giving
him all the good fellowship and good
spirit without the unwholesome fnfiu-
ences OF liquor.
The promotion Of social life, the

Reverence is Mark.
| Reverence for the word Of God is
a mark Of the Lord Jesus. Christ rev.
erenced it. He read it. He studied it.
He quoted it. 1t was his authority.
When tempted in the wilderness He
said. 1T is written Many are the
church members who do not read one
chapter of the word a day, and many
there are who do not read one a week.
: The word is the voice of God speak
| ing to the soul. How can you expect
to increase in love to God If you do not
LET Him thus speak to you? The time
of the family altar IS passed with too
many church members The Bible IL
not read around the family altar. This
mark of the Lord Jesus, reverence for
the word of God, is not present. Every
one who has this mark may say, Thy
word is lamp unto my feet, and
light unto my path
Prayer is another mark of the
Lord Jesus. Jesus never undertook
any work without seeking wisdom in
prayer. Note as one instance the
raising of Lazarus from the dead The
life of Jesus was life of prayer.
Others taught men how to preach,
but Jesus taught men how to pray
Archimedes said, If | had something
to stand on l could move the world
Brother. prayer is the lever which
moves the world. 1t is the greatest
power conferred on mortal man. It
moves God and God moves the world.
Weeping over the lost is mark of /
the Lord Jesus. There are many who
try to initiate Christ in many ways. |
but they have never known His love I
for lost men. They have never caught t
His spirit when to see men die is to |
die forever. Men do not know about /
Christ as they should unless they feel |
the agony and distress of the dying |
Christ as He bore the guilt of the con
iemned world while dying on the
cross. II we bear the marks OF the.i
Lord Jesus we must know something i
Of the fellowship Of His sufferings.'"
