The Things of Others.

Thinking unduly of ones self is not
characteristic of value in either per-
sonal or organized work. The funda-
mental requirements of every Christian
is to think of the things of others-to
work for and with them for mutual
good No great ends can be accomplish
ed in any line of action by those who
work single-handed Cooperation is
a law of the spiritual life.
"All things work together for good
to them that love Cod
Every true Christian is necessarily
worker with God and a co-laborer
with those who love Him.
Who counts his brothers welfare
AS sacred as his own.
And loves. forgives and pities,
He serveth Christ alone"
Carlyle said: Infinite Is the help
man can yield to man
The help rendered may last through
eternity. and the helper may enjoy
eternal reward
They that turn many to righteous
ness shall shine as the stars forever"
Evangelism is the paramount work
of the Christian, and in that work he
must labor. not only for. but with
others
Happiness will come to you only

America and Evangelism.

The strategic importance of the evan

mated It Is said that about 70 per
cent of the population of the United
States belongs to the Protestant
Church and less than As per cent to any
church. This country is aptly called
"the melting pot" for into 1t has been
mourning for the last century or more,
and especially the last fifty years, all
of the races of the earth; and the
stream has flowed in faster than it
could be absorbed, and in various places
there are great masses of immigrants
who are untouched by American civil-
cation and Christianity. Besides the
white immigrant, the other races pre-
sent 'shome missionary" tasks, the
negro, the Indian, the Malay and the
others. No country has ever had
history like America. and no country
ever had a better start, a greater or
swifter development or mightier re-
sponsibility in the evangelization of the
world-nor will the like ever happen
to any country in the future.
This opportunity is very near us

Cooperation in Prayer.

The first essential in working with
others is cooperation in prayer.
Let the first sunbeam rise on the

1t is the high duty and privilege of
every Christian Endeavorer to hold up
the hands, by prayer. not only of Heir
ministers, but of all their associates
in Christian experience and labor
In the account given of Amalek's
fight with Israel in Rephidim, it is re-
corded that Moses stood on the top of
the hill with the rod of God in his
hand, and so long as he held up his
hand in prayer Israel prevailed; but
when he let down his hand Amalek
prevailed. When Moses hands grew
heavy Aaron and Hur stayed them
and his hands were steady until
the going down of the sun. ANA
lex was defeated and Israel gained
great victory.
Each had his part-Joshua to fight.
Moses to pray, Aaron and Hur to hold
up the hands of Moses. They worked
together. Through cooperation sue
cess and victory were achieved.

The Instructions.

The first instruction to the seventy
was to pray: this was to disclose to
their vision the great need of the serv-
ice, and to put them in touch with the
source of all power The harvest is
just as great today; there are more
people alive today who have not saw
ing knowledg. of Jesus than there
were when He sent forth the seventy.
But as prayer opens our eyes to the
white harvest of opportunity it also
connects us with the source of power
whence we may secure the strength to
meet the task.

of action to be followed under various
circumstances. all of which apply with
equal force to the situations and con-

sends out today; and these instructions
include the message they were to bring

bring the kingdom nigh unto men. No
follower of Jesus has any other bust

Fair Share of Work.

Others in relation to cooperative en-

They avoid responsibility and do only
what they can do without inconveni
encing themselves.
In their lack of industry and zeal
they are of very little help in advanc-
ing the work Of the church. They do
less than their fair share of the work
and are unfaithful partners in the CO.
operating business.
They are no better and no worse than
those who are all the time claiming and
boasting that they do more than their
fair share of the work. Those who
shirk duties and those who want all the
credit and glory of work done are not
valuable as co-laborers in religious
work. There are those again whose

that non-essential differences will not
