 No other book has had sueh e rIea history, 60 remarkable a prseoFgatiC8 under circumgtanceg so u9l1MyolltlH. The persistence of the Book tllF1ugh all the vicigsitndee of more than 15 centuries is in itself an evidence that Is well nigh fmdiaputabIe.
 And suppose we had time toniGht to examine the Book itself as to tlB scope and grandeur of its truths; t1fn wonder of it's revelation; the adapt ability of it's teaching to all classes @nM conditions of people and to all mmGB in the unfolding of time; the sublime climax of Christ as the rkvelation oG Gods love and the culmination Of tlit plan of God to redeem mankind. But we haven't time for all this. Our gen eral familiarity with the Book will convince us that this Book pfoveg ft- self to be the word of God by tho hls- tory of it's construction and by the character of its contents.
 Only one thing remains and that q a statement the truth of which is so generally recognized that 0 mere lnt nouncement of it would seem co hr sufficient. And that is that thiF DooI Is the word of God because Of what z has done and is doing. It inspires. It lifts people out of their evil way infq the new life in Christ.

We go on some harmless pleasure, seeking trip but are we sure that we will return !? Noi Then, now is the time to medi- tate and look back at your life and see if you would feel certain of everlast ing life if you were called upon to face Almighty God and account for the things you had done in earthly life. Would you?
 There is no state of mind worse than suspense and we know not what the future holds forth for us. If we did we would lead entirely different lives. Take a person who has led a righteous life for years and then in one unguarded moment left his soul exposed to sin.

fupon that mercy? People do not like to think of death and they go and think of other things and finally they forget about the possibility of tho hand of death reaching out and calling them. They grow car.A,ss about i. their morals and their religion. Finally they are called and then they realize with full force errors of their ways and they can on God to forgive. God ss mercfful but does He forgive as readily as if they had lived clean life and had been prepared for the day when they should stand before Him? Let us consider we'll the price we pay for sin and in this time of Lent when our Master prepared for death let us consider how we can fast from sin not only for the short period of not when death coneth. Meditate and then take precaution not to fall into sinful ways.
 We do not have to go to the big cities, to the dens and dives for crime. Look into the homes right In our own city and we win ind homes where the name of God is used only in biasphemy and where the morals lowest standard. These all must meet death the same as these that live in palaces. Are these people prepared to meet their God? They know nnt would only realize that life is uncer- tain they would prepare. What is the remedy for sin?
 The acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour. God gave His only oegot- ten Son that men might be saved and see the Kingdom of Heaven. That. is the value he put on human life and can't we do something to show that we appreciate it? Don't let us lead an indifferent life. dreamy existence, never giving thought to the future and the time when the hand of death shall fall upon us. Let us prepare so that when the time comes we will be ready.
 The best and only way to be sure that we live right is to live today as though it was the last day upon earth. That is the sure way that we will be ready when death claims us for His own.
 The regular vespers were sung and Nicholas Speliman sang o Saiutaris in fine voice. accompanied by Prof. F. L. Farrell.
