 men. He slept out under the stars. He saw the majesty of the skies. His brow was wet with the dews of night. The hush of the unseen was upon his spirit. l With the full tides of a divine inspira> tion coming into his soul he went forth 1 to pioneer the way for the Messiah, to i declare the kingdom of heaven at hand, | and to cry Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world" The Psalmist knew how to be alone with God. ''Iy medita;e on all thy works; I muse on the work of try hands Describing the righteous man he says: Blessed is the man that Walketh not in the counsel of the un- godly, nor standeth in the way of sin ners. nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but whose delight is in the | law of the Lord, and in His law doth | he mediate day and night" The Psalmnst was a busy man.

 prayer Often men who think they haven't any time to pray must take time to die.
 We must live in touch with God. No soul can be strong, and calm, and tri- umphant without an inflow from the divine One. He must gird us for our ! tasks. He must empower us. He must annoint us. Our strength must be q spiritual dynamic bestowed by the spirit of power
 Being much alone with God we can go out to help the lonely. We need to help folks. There is neartache, and sorrow in many a home. Many a heart knows it's bitter pang. There is loss of health, loss of money, loss of friends. loss of hope, and so loss of courage. | We can live apart from all this pain t1nd suffering and deSOlation, but not so if we have the compassion of Christ in our hearts. If We have His spirit we will put on the sandals of mercy and hasten to lessen the miseries of man kind. We will point people to Him who gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy i for mourning and the garment of praise .or the spirit of heaviness.'
 General Booth plead for cart-horse standard for men. What did he mean ?
