PAYING THE PIPER.

Some men dabble in politics and are known as politicians. That is no com pliment.
 Others engage in constructive legis- lation. They are statesmen. and the term is credit to them.
 We need fewer of the former, of whom there are enormously too many.
 There is crying need of the latter. who are lamentably few.
 Any novice can lay a brick on top of another, but it requires an expert enced mason to construct wall that will stand
 We are careful in the selection of the men who build the houses in which we live, but indifferent as to the cali bre of those who enact the laws under which we are governed.
 We pay the political piper. whether we dance or not

As usual, apples have been rotting on the ground in Michigan and other states because the growers could not secure price for them sufficient to pay the cost of marketing. At the same time consumers in the cities have been paying fancy prices or doing without And still. spectators blandly disclaim any thought of profiteering. And that reminds LIS, Have you ever noticed how q speculating profiteer will squeeze every penny possible out of an article that he handles and then weep because there iS no more blood to be sucked? And have you noticed how that same speculator will rage over the prices of things that he has to buy for his own usef What kind of duck would you call that anyway? :?

If you were to see beautiful wo- man walking along the street, would you steal her purse? Of course not. It is absurd to even think of such an act. And yet when some one makes a sug- gestive remark about her. and some other fellow enlarges upon it and pas ses it along, both are committing an even greater offense. They are robbing her of her good name She can buy a new purse. She cannot buy new rep utatiOn.

''Verily, verify l say unto you, ne that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into judgment (John :24). There is therefore now no coming into the condemning judg- ment to them which are in Christ Jesus"
 The sense of guilt or of dread Is proof of abnormality of the soul. All distressfulness about ones self IS cured in Christ, for in Him Is the cov- ering for every offending thought, word and deed
 ?. Spiritual normalcy cannot be without spiritual life. No more is 1t possible to substitute the eleNrifying processes of pleasant words and man. ners for spiritual life, than 1t would be possible to produce business pros- perity by polishing the knobs and hinges of all the bank safes. It Is abnormal for a soul to be dead in trespaSses and sins"
 5. Spiritual normalcy cannot exist without prayer. It Is not that man has to pray In order to be saved. For salvation he has simply to trust. But being alive" unto holy God and knowing that all his goodness or suc- cess is in him, how should he not ask and receive answers from him Surely being at home In the house. hold of faith he will be saying "0ur Father" A prayerless life is either captive of vain ef-sufficiency, or else of the gloom of despair, and all such is abnormal.
 4. Spiritual normalcy has spiritual delights. You must expect a man to prefer fleshly delights if he has never been born again. He does hot know what spiritual delights are. AS well might man born deaf or blind be 1 expected to know what music and sun sets are If he could step instantly out of the barrennesS of u northern winter into the fruitfulness of mid summer it would be no more i'll con trast than for him to step out of or dinary delights, good times and laugh ter into the joy of the Lord And to rejoice In the Lord .alway" is spiritual normalcy.
 5. Spiritual normalcy is profitable, It can always render an account show Ing assets clear beyond liabilities. AZ Tn commerce business Is not considered normal when it verges on bankruptcy, so the soul Is not in normalcy unless the person is spiritually prosperous
 What Is this we read about "The Riches of Grace? It Is not the fair amount of grace, not an encouraging proportion of grace, not. if all goes well there will be enough grace to prevent spiritual bankruptcy, but it is "The Riches of Grace in Christ Jesus"
 And what is this. Ne readl All

We're not so bad off in this cOun- try. after all We have strikes and suspensions of business. it is true, But we have plenty of money, plenty to eat and wear, and present indica- tions are that we will have plenty of heat this winter Then too, our eur rency is the most valuable in the world. In the old world they also have strikes and suspensions of busi- nescs. or no business at all. And they have internal troubles and food is scarce and prohibitive in price, and millions of them wear rags and will shiver in the cold this winter, and their currency is badly appreciated or almost worthless.

Now that the children are back in school again, what are we doing to en- courage them? Or are we doing any thing at all? Possibly the children, ir- responsible in their youth, do not ex- poet anything from us, but that does not excuse us in the least They are entitled to our moral and spoken en- couragement in their efforts to secure an education that will fit them for successful stations in life A few years hence they will be able to understand what we do or do not do to aid them today Will they consider what we did, or what we didn't?
