The Hospital Call.

Spreading cheer in various public
institutions is another path by which
young women may heed a call and
follow the example of the Lowly Naza-
rene in going about and doing good.
We see those of the Christian En-
deavor Societies and Epworth Leagues
from time to time visiting the various
hospitals and homes for the aged
Will not many more of these and
other religious societies of young peo-
pie heed this call:
Here YOU may place a flower to
cheer the sick and despondent and
give a friendly handclasp and speak
CHEEKY word How far these little
acts of kindness go-how far they
pierce into the souls of those on beds
of sickness we can never fully know
but this we do know that it is walk
ing in the same pathway, that was
trod by the Master in the long ago.
when as man He walked upon the
earth succoring those distressed in
body mind and spirit.
1t is an occasion of wonder that there
is not more visiting in hospitals and
homes by young women OF the various
societies of the churches.
1t is one of the most effective Ways
of spreading Christ's kingdom.
AS humanity lies on bed of sickness.
it is easier to approach with mes
sage from the throne of grace than at
any other time. The head nurses of
hospitals and institutions could be con-
suited as to the best hours for calls to
be made. and. l am sure, would be glad
to cooperate with any young women
desiring to make them.

METHODISTS HAVE BIG PROGRAM.
Membership, Volunteer Workers and Candidates for Min
istry and Missionary Fields Included in Effort
Denomination Leaders Have In View.

Methodists of America announce the
biggest program for the coming year
that any religious body ever ventured.
So far as can be recalled. South and
north among them are together. save
only the official ratifications. Bishop
Henderson of Chattanooga is leading in
these big aims, but Methodists every
where are falling into line. There are
three parts to their program. One re-
lates to membership during 19l5-l9l6,
another to volunteer workers. and the
third to candidates for the ministry and
the mission fields.
Methodists say they believe thai
Billy" Sunday has hit upon a popular
trend.
Ten or twelve years ago net Metno-
dist gains went up to $4,000. ana IN
dications are that this year VIII SHOW
a figure above 100000. For the year
now opening from May 10 May nsn
Methodists propose to add an even loo'
600 net to their membership" DlStrict

that pastors do their part in their re-
spectiye districts. With the present

Eishop Henderson is supported by
other Methodists in declaring that men

not all at once, but step by step to him
who earnestly seeks to fit his life into
Gods plan by obeyfng His will as re-
vealed to him.
Bishop Henderson of Chattanooga has
issued plea especially addressed to
those young people about to leave
schools and colleges, who have not
chosen their life work. in which he
asks them to take for a life motto
Whatever, wherever, whenever pleases
Him." He says, in part:
Many of our young people are miss
ing the will of God for their lifework
for two reasons: First they do not ac-
cept as a working belief the truth that
God has special form of lifework
for them which is His first choice and
working spiritual principle which will
really enable them to discover what is
that first will of Cod
In order to discover Gods will for
ones lifework it is essential to be-
lieve with intense conviction that God
with your life. 1t does make differ
doctor, teacher. lawyer, grocer, minis
ter, social settlement worker, mission
airy. musician, carpenter, or anything
else. God does care.
In order to know what Gods will for
your lifework is you must tell Him
that you will do that Will. whatever
it may be. whenever He calls and
wherever He sends you. There are so
many young people ready to say to
God, 'If you will let me know what
your will for me is. then | will consider
it and see whether I will do it," Bat
He says, ''If any one is willing to dc
my will, he shall know" You cannot
first discover the viii of God and then
consider whether you will do it, You
must first decide that you viii do it
and by obedience TO all the light on
Gods will that you have you will come
to know what is His specific will for
your lifework.
No matter what his Iifework is, every
Christian must in some way, and to a
greater or less extent, be a soul-win-
ner. and it is in the work of winning
souls that we most often are conscious
of the guidance of the Holy Spirit
Often there comes to the earnest Chris
tian whose heart is attuned to the har-
mony of Gods love the conviction that
he ought to undertake this bit of serv
ice, or speak that word of encourag ge-
ment or invitation. This seems hard
or unreasonable sometimes. and it is
an easy matter to find excuses and turn
a deaf ear to the promptings which are
the Spirits guidance, but when he is
instant in obedience to these prompt :
ings he finds. just as Philip and Paul
did. that the Spirit has gone before and
prepared the way.

From Philips point OF view, nothing
could have been more foolish than to
leave SamarIa, where the crowds were

Immediately went to Phillippi, in Mace

This is another example Of implicit
obedience to the Spirits leading, even
where that leading did not appear to
be reasonable Paul had been success
full in his missionary work in Asia
Minor. and the field seemed ripe and
Paul the most suitable worker for
that field. since he was himself ma

"A call to prisons and beatinss and ridi-

miles of wearing travel but it was the
call of Gods Spirit. and Paul never

The Spirit direction does not always
seem strategically wise. No military
commander had he beer in charge Of
the campaign of the early church to
win the world for Christ would have
sent Philip to the desert or Paul to
Phillppf. but the perspective of the
centuries long ago showed that God 8
Spirit does not lead men into any blind
alleys or upon fools errands. His cam
paisns are victorious, and it is our
duty, as His soldiers. to have faith in
His judgment, and obey orders.
All through the Acts We read Of the
Spirit directing men. either Individual
~ or in groups. ard this direction was
the Lord speaking, by Gods Spirit
speaking and by the appearance of a
vision. In each case the significant
feature is the attitude of obedience on
the part of the one receiving the direc-
tion. To receive wireless messages in
struments have to be attuned to har-
monous wave lengths of electricity,
and TO receive messages Of the Spirit,
the heart must be attuned to the har-
monious wave lengths of Gods love.
