He draws near to helm us in our emer-

The greatest need of the human soul
is to know how to pray as we ought
to the Father. In our periods of suf-
fering do not know whether We
should pray for the removal of the
trial for power to bear the burden.
In that moment of INDIGESTION the Holy
Spirit pleads for us. interpreting our
needs that we could not express in ac-
cordance with the will of God. The
presence and guidance OF the Holy
Spirit amid all of our trials is q great
help to the struggling soul seeking o
throw aside the suggestions of satan
that he could do Gods will in all
things.
Probably the verse that has brought
to suffering and struggling humans the
greatest comfort and consolation is the
fact that al things work together for
good to them that love God" The tie
that binds the Christian to God that
the apostle refers to here. is not faith,
bat love. that identifies the believer
with God. The ultimate divine pur-
pose toward which all things work is
the final triumph of the good. The APP
pearances may seem TO the contrary,
but under the power of God all tile
gether; they not only work together.
but work together for GOOD The BIT
ter suffering, the heart-bre king eS-
perience of our life and the difficult
trials. all have a part in Gods plan and
purpose for our good and His glory
which is the final step in His plans
for the redemption.
We are called upon to endure hardness
because God saw from the beginning
the necessity of suffering ia the de-
velopment of the soul into the image
of the Christ. The chain of proyiden-
tial provisions for our being made con-
forinable to the likeness OF our Lord
calls for suffering that tries the soul.
Adversely is the acid test of spiritual
life. 1t draws us close to the throne of
prayer that we might have the help
of the Holy Spirit to walk closer with
our Lord. Hho has called us 10y His un-
merited favor. made us right with God
and joint heirs of His glory. Strength
ened by the heldp of the Spirit, we pass
through the process of suffering, sing
ing on our way to glory, because we
know that being free from condemna-
ton nothing shall separate us from tho
love of God in Christ Jesus" and the
glory He has gone to prepare for us.

Religion and Amusements.

This does not limit the Christian in
the real enjoyments of life. All of the
best forms Of recreation and an1use
ment are part of the Christians life.
Religion enlarees the pleasures of
life. Its very nature and Office is to
increase happiness. An untroubled con-
science il the greatest possible fac
tor in all matters of enjoyment and
amusement. There are much of heated
and thrilling pastimes which by the
yotaries OF the world are counted as
claim. They excite. enliven and cheer
for time, but in the end scorch and
destroy like fire.
Many seek the saloon. the gambling
parlors and similar places for their
amusement: but with such kind of en-
tertainnent religion has no part or
fellow ship.
Put all healthy and natural de-
!i2htS-the JOYS OF home, the circle of
friendships. the free interchange of
thought and feeling among acquaint-
ances. the battle OF wit. the play of
humor the relaxaton of amusements.
the pleas ures of travel, the charm Of
the social assem bly-what one of these
is not sweetened and heightened by
religion"
1t is only when We realize that the
amusements in which we indulge are
approved by an enlightened conscience
that We come TO know what happ ness
| means. There is always something
| lacking in our joys if they make our
/ conscience uneasy.
Christianity does not forbid any in
nocent amusement. God comma dis

Our three weeks of study of the
Holy Spirit has brought US to the

Of this year We had the promise of the
Lord that He would send the Holy
Spirit In our next lesson we had
the promise fulfilled in the descent

New Testament, the gospel in its per-

only the personality of the apostle to

because of the close relation existing
between nature and humanity. when
man enters into the revelations o. the
glory of the redeemed. The corruption
and decay that row marks the life Of
nature Will be brought to an end when
man comes into his own. Christians
are to wait with patience and hope like
the material creation for their deliver
arce from suffering. Not only creation
but Christians groan waiting for the COM
ing glory. The sobs. signs and SORROWS of
the present days are offset by the hope
that inspires the Christian to wait for
the completion of our adoption when
with the redemption of our bodies
we shall enter into our possessions
as joint heirs with Christ. The long
ings aroused by the spirit in our life
so that we desire to be free from the
old body and he clothed with the spir-
itual body. that will be ours at the
resurrection, are not dreams. They are
founded upon the promises of God. II
is this glorious expectation that fills us
with hope, enabling us to bear the sor-
rows and sufferings of our life.
