home and see if there isn't some
thing more | can put away"
A glance around her rooms bore out
the truth of her surmise and her
statement There was furniture
enough in the room for comfort. but
no more. There were a few good
pictures two or three vases and other
decorative objects, that was all.
Furthermore, little questioning on
the putting things away revealed
the fact that most articles not re-
served for daily use were disposed of
given away, sold, or destroyed.
Such simplification goes to help
solve the servant problem. 1t is
easier to get a servant to stay in
such house because the work is
easier than in the more crowded do
main. 1t is easier to get along with

Business men are coming more and
more to do away with unnecessary
details. They reserve all their own
energy and that of their employees
for the essentials. The same plan
works to the best possible advantage
in tn ehome. The more advantage

and more contented families will live
nj them. This makes for the stabil-
ity Of society.
There is more to this parting with
mere numbering things than appears
on the surface.

Now stop and think of It: The God
Of glory taking up his abode in you,

saloonkeeper by the hand and through
tears and sobs tell him l want that we

ness over the bar again. One fellow
after he'd seen me refuse all offers of
drink with Joy that made my face
shine because of liberty from heaven,
followed me out and said: "Oh, Jim,
to see you refuse as you did and after
loving it as you did. Oh, Jim, cant
God save me, too" Well, my dear
reader, he was young man, the only
son of widow had lost his position
by drink and was in rags. I said
Yes, Frank, he can and we kneeled
right there in the snow and he was
so blessedly saved and is a successful
Christian business man in the church
today. You see God had clothed him
self with Jim and now did the same
with Frank Green.
But before he could use Gideon's
army, he had to cut off a lot of it.
There was too much of it for God to
get the glory. II that whole army
had gone at the enemy, everybody
would have known why they won and
God would have had no honor at all
in the eye of the world. An othe-
thing, all the fellows who were not
in the work with all their soul would
have been hindrance. In the church
today we are great people for getting
in big membership and the result
is there are so many helpless and in
different that they hinder rather than
help. God himself can't use that kind
to take them into membership and
then scold them for not doing the
right thing is like scolding dead
engine. Again, there is too much Of
each of us when we are converted
and God has to cut off before he can
use us, but all we need to do is throw
ourselves in his arms and he will cut
on and trim to his glory.
Now comes the sad point in the life
of this mighty man. He fell for
money. How sad! Many of today
