Fireside Talks.
With Members of the Newspaper
Bible Class
By REV. E. B. ALLEN, ID.
Pilgrim Congregational Church
Oak Park, iii.

II makes no difference what pro-
fessions people make about religion
if they do not obey the commands
of Jesus. 1t is nothing less than
hypocrisy to praise mans brother
hood and Gods fatherhood while al
the same time we do not put these
principles into practice in our own
lives.
The great men have always been
those who knew how to obey.
George Washington said: II am only
the servant of the people and it is not
for me to dispense with ORDERS
Abraham obeyed God in going out to
a strange country. Jesus obeyed His
Fathers will even at the cost Of His
life. There have been millions of
soldiers who braved every danger
because they We're determined to
obey orders. At that cost are you
willing to obey Jesus Christ?
II. Practicing. or Preaching.
Whether or not wa are "behaving
the Bible" doing the doctrine of
Christ, our actions prove. When mis-
sionaries first went to Korea the peo-
pie wondered what to call them, for
there is no Korean word for mis-
sionary. After watching them for a
time they put together a word which
means "The us-doctrine- doing
people,. Does this word apply to
you?
An educated Japanese read the
Bible carefully and thoughtfully, but
could not make up his mind to accept
its teachings. 1t was all right in
theory, he said, but he wished to
see it put in practice. On a train
one day Japanese woman was
pointed out to him as a Christian,
and he decided to watch her through
out the journey, and see if she lived
up to her Bible. eff can see any,
thing in her conduct like this Book,
will believe it," he declared. She
little realized that her every word
and deed were being subjected to
such scrutiny, but by little acts of
unselfishness and of thoughtfulness
for others, she let her light shine.
He saw that she was a consistent
Christian, and determined to make
the Bible the guide of his own con-
duct.
