! this fact has led
 many Bible stu Z dents to feel that ss. the seeking of Isaacs bride is s'S typical of some spiritual truth Such Bible stu sS dents agree that
 xss ~ the chapter well iS& illu r a e the iSSF work of the Holy
 Spirit, who is sent forth by God the father to call out the church, which is the bride of him, typi- fled by Isaac, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Since the Holy Spirit uses men in this sacred work, the chapter under consideration furnishes many points of instruction for the soul winner.
 First of all, we note that Abraham's servant was anxious for the glory of his master. He prays, Show kindness unto my master Abraham" This mo- tive will affect many things in our Christian service. On one occasion, after a sermon, remarkable from the literary standpoint as well as in other ways, one of the hearers remarked, What beautiful language the preacher used.' True servants of Christ are troubled if his face is yelled, even by beautiful language. They would rath- CT glory in infrmity if the power ot Christ might rest. upon them. We have heard of a church upon the back of whose pulpit was carved this text. "Sirs, we would see Jesus" Every minister who sat behind this pulpit faced this appeal, and every worker who has the spirit of Abraham's serv. ant will seek to heed this appeal.
 Notice again, that the servant of Abraham received guidance He was led to the well where Rebekah watered her focks and she was pointed out tc him as the bride for his master As the servant expressed it, T being ir the way, the Lord led me" The writ CT has a friend who was pastor ir a southern town. He lopged for the salvation of man who lived out in th, country, but although he visited hie house, he seemed never to find an op portunity to speak with him priyatel, concerning his soul. On one occasion
 this minister was impressed that h. should pay a special visit in the hop( of reaching the man in question. A, thn i'm rinr1 Tlcrcictod IG fRnIy th.

 It looked as if no one were at hom, and he began to chide himself for hi foolish trip. Nevertheless, he rappee at the door, which was opened by th
 man he wished to see and who wei comed him heartily, saying, T am al
 alone today and was just wishing tha' you would come here and tell nle how to become a Christian" Undoubtedly God still leads his servants.
 Again the servant gave gifts to Re bekah, jewels of silver, jewels Of golt and raiment. How happy it is tha
 Christian workers, though poor,
 Paul was, may make many rich UA happy the Christian worker who la nothing better to give than bread an soup and clothes. Abraham's servar gave to Rebekah an earnest of tn, riches which should be hers when sh came into Isaac's tent So should Christian workers be filled with a. earnest of the coming glory and scat ter it's light and blessing to all thos to whom them minister.
 We may say a word, also, about tl bride. It will be noted that the serv. ant found her by the well of water These words may fall under the eye O. someone who is signing to become ( member Of the bride Of Christ May not the incident under conside atior suggest to him that he should be founC by the we'll of water, which may hin at the means Of grace. When Charles | Sturgeon was seeking to know the .ove of Christ, he went from church tc church throughout London, trusting that the word of some minister might | bring to him the blessing he sought | He at last found peace in Primitive A1SliIOGlSI SlGpCl, hASIG EC udu ldhSH shelter from a snOwstorm one Sunday morning.
 And what lesson is conveyed by the fact that as soon as Rebekah had the ring and bracelet upon her hand, l she ran and told them of her moth | ers house all that Abrahan's servant had said. AS one has put it, we must either give OIr religion away CT else give it up. Would that all of us were as busy in spreading the good tidings as was Uncle John Vassar Dr. A. J. | Gordon. tells of once driving along a country road with this good man A gentleman stopped them to inquire the way to Dedham. After the directions were given, Uncle John Vassar turned | to the man and said, Friend, l too am a stranger and pilgrim in the
