ENGLISH SPEAKERS

Summer conference promoters this

1ish speakers and teachers, as in pre-
vious years, because of the war.
All English and Scotch missionary
societies report their working STATS

ing at the front. and therefore unable
to send any men or women to American
conferences.
These societies report that their own
summer work will be crippled for lack
Of speakers. At the same time Ameri-
can conferences look for far larger
numbers in attendance this season be-
many will be travelling across the con-
tinent and may be induced to stop at
summer conference resorts.

Spiritually Selected Shepherd.

Samuel looked for a stalwart sue
cessor to Saul. who by his personal
presence and power would inspire his
forces in conflict. He sought first
among the sons of Jesse for one who
appeared to equal physically Saul. who
had failed because Of the lack of
spiritual faith to stabilize his actions.
Samuel considered that the first born
son, Eliab, was the one God had chosen.
but the inner voice of Jehovah made
it clear to him that he was mistaken
as each of the sons was introduced to
him by their father. The old prophet
had to learn the lesson-the great one
of this weeks study-that 'the Lord
seeth not as man seeth. for man look
eth upon the outward appearance. but
the Lord looketh upon the heart"
Perplexed lest possibly he might be
mistaken, Samuel, with some trepida-
ton, asked Jesse If all his sons were
there, and on learning that there was
another, the youngest. who was caring
for the sheep. possibly in the very
field where the shepherds watched over
their flock the night the Lord was
born in Bethlehem. Samuel requested
that he be sent for by his father. %

The special invitation to Jesse and

considered by the community as be-

entitled to the rank Of full citizenship.
for he was only two generations re-

through Ruth. the Moabite, but his
sons were entitled to all the civil and
religious privileges of the nation.
| The home of Jesse stood proba bly,
upon the site Of the present Church of
the Nativity. where the public inn was
located when Christ was born. There
the prophet went to prepare himself
and to oversee the sanctiflcation of the
family of Jesse. which called for them
to wash their whole person and put on
clean underclothes. that they might

Christ the Preparation.

There Is no preparation for the next
life that does not take into account our
relation to Christ as the way, the truth
and the life.
So declares tho Scriptures and we
have no theories to advance that are
not found In the world of revelation. In
that word we are explicitly told that
Christ is the only way to all the bless
ings of grace in this life, and to all the
glories of the life to come.
To get ready for the next life Christ
is the way. 1t Is His merits alone that
give US title to eternal life. It Is His
grace that works in US a preparedness
for that life.
He is not only the way and the truth,
makes men free and qualities them for
the life beyond in which there is no
tafnt of falsehood or error.
He is not only the way and the truth
but He is the life absolutely in His own
being and the source of all life, natural,
spiritual and eternal.
He is called the life, because He will
give eternal life to all who believe in
Him. 1t is written: "He that believeth
on the Son hath everlasting life." and
again: This is tho promise that He
hath promised. even eternal life"

required in getting ready for that life.
How Get Ready.
How are men to make preparation for
the eternal life?
Not by their own wisdom. "Canst
thou by searching find out God?" Only
through Him whose resurrection from
the dead we are now celebrating.
Would you know the way to eternal
life? Then heed the words Christ ad-
dressed to doubling Thomas, II am the
way. and the truth and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father but by
me-"
These words contain the substance OF
Christianity. BY studying them we can
discover how to get ready for the next
life.
Jesus is the way. therefore we should
walk in Him. This means something
more than to walk with Him. We dc
not walk with a way but in way. He
being the way we must walk in Him.
