Ripping Rhymes
oy WALT MASON
The Fault Finder,

The most unfortunate of men Is he
who hunts for something wrong, who
strains his ear. again, again. to hear
the false note in a song. It's he who
marks with gloomy eye the bridal
couple as they pass, and says, Their
JOY will soon pass by, and they'll grow
old; all flesh is grass" It's he who
stops the flow Of mirth by preaching
trouble and despair, who says that
everything on earth is but pitfall and
q snare. He sees the ring around the
moon, when other men the moon be-
hold, and says storm will come full
soon with hail and sleet and bitter
cold. He sees the sundogs standing
guard, when other men behold the sun,
and says We'll all be frozen hard be-
fore the current week is done. oh,
gloom and trouble are his pets with
them he eats and drinks and sleeps;
he's only happy when he frets. he's
only joyous when he weeps 1t would
be no concern of mine. If he would
nurse his crouch alone: but publicly
he WeepS his brine. and heaves his
deep, heart rending groan. And IL
these crucial times we need no added
weight to loads of care. no signs that
make our bosoms bleed. no threats or
omens of despair.

j have chosen you. and ordained you,
that We should go and bring forth
fruit. and that your fruit should re-
main" The Christian will glorify God
by bringing forth fruit-and by bring
ing forth fruit Jesus meant rendering
acts of sacrifice and service to Him,
and winning souls to Him. 1t was
with this same thought in His mind
that the Master said, as we read in the

arise. shine. for thy light is come"
was Gods message to Israel through
Isaiah. and II is the command Of God
found throughout His Word to be pos
tive and active, not merely negative
and dead The moon outshines the
stars at times, but it has no real light
of its own: it is only a reflector. while
the stars shine on with the light given
them by God Himself. So some serv-
ants of God are content with merely
not disobeying the written law. and
they do shine at times by rejecting
the glory of the Law Oliver. But Christ
utterly condemned such a service. The
rich young man had kept the Mosaic
law from his youth up. yet he never
nstu uone any positive service, or made
any sacrifice, and he could not pass the
test Christ put to him. So Christ al
ways condemned the mere fulfiiment of
the letter of the law. unless it was ac-
tuated by the spirit of love.
Christians may shine like an electric
light bulb. through which the current
OF Gods love flows from the source of
all power and light and energy and
electrifices with His glory. Stars diff
FER in magnitude. and electric lights
differ in candle power and voltage; so
Christians differ in their power to
shine. either because their capacity for
the current of Gods love is limited. or
their efficiency in Transforming that
love into light is restricted, either by
themselves or their conditions and cir
cumstances.
The shining stars furnish a guide to
men. The dipper is always there point
ing US to the Pole star. the never-fail-
ing guide to all mankind. So the

STAR" CHRISTIANS.
13:43)
By Robert D. Burbank.
I.resIdent Of wsshIngton pIstrict Epworth Le,

President OF Washington District Epworth League.
You have heard of the star athletes
star students, star actors and stars of
the political. financial or social world,
but have you ever considered the star"
Christian. or thought of trying to be
one?
The CHIEF characteristic of the star
In the sky is that it shines, and when
star loses its luster and ceases to
shine 1t is. to most of US. at least, no
longer star. A star performer
whether on the athletic field. in the
school or college. on the stage. or in
the realm of politics. finance or society
is one Who shines. and when his per-
Torrance loses its brilliance and he
ceases to shine he is no longer con-
sidered a star. But Christian-how
can he shine?
1t is q common idea that Christian
ity means the opposite of shainin. and
Christians are regarded by many as
being the dullest and most uninterest-
pie on earth Probably this fallacy
has been produced by two misappre-
tensions, first. the idea of those whose
Christianity consists of long-faced
piety and fulfllment of the negative
part of the law, and second the idea
of many critics of Christianity who
Judge il by such Christians. But such
was not the idea that Jesus had, for
he said: "Ye are the light of the
vorid''' Let your light so shine be-
fore men. that they may see your good
works and giorify your Father which
rs in Heaven"
The Lord sent Darrell the message,
They that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the armament; and they
that turn E;any 10 righteousness as
the stars forever ana ever" These and
many other Passages clearly show that
II is just as much the Christians func-
ton to shine as Il is the stars; and
the passage in Daniel suggests two
ways FOR n Christian to shine.
The verses cited from Johns Gospel
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-20

of consistency, too. and the Christian Is
of all men the only perfectly sure and
reliable character, for he has founda-
ton that is immovable. and his faith 10
unshakable. Meteors or shooting stars
may cast momentary CLEAN upon the
universe, but the stars shine on. fixed
and true forever. So false men and
false faiths flash upon the earth at
times. and men acclaim their splendor.
but they last but a moment, and are
soon forgotten, while the Christian
shines on with the steady and fixed
purpose that never changes.
There are but few stars of the nrst
magnitude. and there are few Chris
tians of the first magnitude. and we
can almost name them offhand. Such
men and women as have wrought
nightly and sacrificed supremacy shine
