prompted through any selfish motive,
and that love Is its only motive. we
may ourselves be sure we are live
Christians.
'If a man love me, he will keep my
word" said Jesus. Here. too. is mark
that distinguishes the Christian-he
keeps Gods word.
He studies 1t. treasures 1t in his heart,
and directs his life in accordance with 1t.
Jesus gave His promise to such that
my Father will love him, and we will
come unto him and make our abode
with him." 1t was during that same
conversation with His disciples that
do the things which I command you.S
He did not say: IF you refrain from
doing the things have forbidden" but
proposed an active, positive service Of
which love should be the only motive.
John Wesley describes the marks of q
Christian thus:
The distinguishing marks Of a Metho-
dist are not his opinions, of any sort,
nor words or phrases, nor special GUS
toms or actions or usages of an indiffer-
ent nature, nor by laying the whole
stress on any particular part of religion
Methodist is one who has the love of
God shed abroad in his heart by the
Holy Ghost given unto him; one who
loves the Lord. his God. with all his
heart and with all his soul, and with all
his strength. God is the joy of his heart
and the desire of his soul. which is con-
stantly crying out: Whom have I in
Heaven but Thee? and there is none on
and my all! Thou art the strength Of
my life and my portion forever If any
man say: Why. these are only the COM
mon, fundamental principles Of Chris
tianity; thou hast said; SO I mean.
That is the very TRUTH know they
are no other. I refuse to be distin-
guished from other men except by the
common principles Of Christianity"

MAY return TO BIG 9"
Michigan's Entry Into Illinois
Games Looked Upon as Being
Significant.

CHICAGO, February 17.-Faculty rep
resentatives of the big nine" are to
meet here today in special session to
determine whether the entry of the
University Of Michigan in the relay
carnival of the University of Illinois
is violation of the western conference
rule prohibiting competition with the
Wolverines. The carnival is to be held
at Urbana, March 8.
Close followers of the big nine" re-
garded Michigan's entry into the Illi-
nois games as the first step toward its
return to the conference. Michigan
withdrew in 1906 as a result of its dis
inclination to abide by certain athletic
restrictions.
Students at Michigan are reported to
view the wolverines foot ball schedule
for 1917 with dissatisfaction and
strongly favor Michigan's return to the
conference Alumni in Chicago and De-
troit are represented as holding the
same view.
Athletic authorities at the University
of Illinois say they sounded sentiment
among the conference universities and
that six had no objections to entering
into games with Michigan.
