Topic: "Our Time for Christ" writ
ten by Mrs. Wilbur smith, formerly con
nected with the Polish Mission of this
city.
In this study, as in an other things
which pertain 10 the life Of a Christian,
we ought TO be decidedly practical. The
feasible is more to be sought after than
the theoretically impossible Aside from
those things which we have within our
selves. our talents, our mind and heart,
our bodies and our senses, time is the
most coveted asset Of human experience
Invisible and Intangible though il be,
time exerts its irresistible power every
where at l-times 10 is the toller OF
the knoll Of death: 10 regulates the sea-
sons and the years; il is the initial fac
tor TO be reckoned with in all military
campaigns.
The topic is "Our Time for Christ"
Now TO no man on earth except he be
a monk or recluse, Of whom there are
few alive is there granted the oppor-
tunity Of giving all his lime directly to
the service Of the Lord Jesus. Not even
can minister: his family. recreation, a
hobby not professional, the very rout-
inc duties Of life render such an abso-
lutte surrender OF time impossible. ST.
Paul himself was much occupied i'm
making tents, and II not possible for the
appointed servant of Christ, the more
impossible for the layman employed
otherwise.

caring for our affairs must always lay
heavy demands upon as for actual time'
in ali things we can be- subject TO the
name Of Jesus. A corollary can truth
fully be drawn from The words of
Christ. "Ne cannot serve two masters,
in the added and equally aXiomatic
phrase. ''Ye must serve one master" We
are forever serving Christ or Satan. on

who win always be remembered by
their pupils as having within them the
love Of Jesus Christ and living it in their
life and work. The idea is applicable IN
every profession wherein a Christian can
enter.
In conclusion I would state a particu-

In Shipping
Shares Was Heavier

New York, .-ov. 6.-The Evening
Sun financial review says:
Political doubts did nOt entirely pre-
elude the promise of success for the
republicans in both branches of the
national legislature and this hope did
not permit the stock list to stay de-
pressed, although trading was held in
check. The war news, while not a very
active factor, still held a great deal OF
interest.
Buying was most pronounced in the
shipping shares, due to the announce
ment that the chairman of the Inter
national Merchant Marine had arrived
with the terms of the sale of the Brit
ish ships to interests in England.
Liberty Gonds were firm, the 49, Z
again touching par. Other bonds were
higher.
