A Prescription for Success.

A Prescription for Success.
Nothing is more needed in a de-
mocracy than the ideals of Jesus.
His counsel is fundamental: "If any
man would be first, he shall be :,
servant to ALL" There We have the
soundest advice upon Success" ever
given. That teaching works. In fact,
like all the other truths He sets
forth, Jesus embodied this in His own
life before He put it into words. He
proved it.
That door is open to everybody.
There is literally nobody who cannot
serve. We may 'lift lame dogs over
stiles"-and get after those who lame
them. We may remove banana peels
from the sidewalk, and help keep folks
from throwing them there. There are
always the hungry of body and spirit
to be fed. / know a man who always
gives an extra penny I'd the newsboy.
and another who is. careful to write
letters of condolenc& For a person
with a passion for service every day
is full Of glorious opportunities. Never
mind about recognition: that was the
mlcrobe that troubled the twelve. Inst
to be helpful is to walk the wav
charted by Jesus, and hallowed bv His
own footsteps
The Indignation of Holiness.
Let nobody suppose that the SIM
plicity and gentleness of the ideals of
Jesus mark Him as q weakling. In
TINS lesson We find that the gentle
Jesus, whose patience seemed limitless
and who could endure neglect and
even insults to Himself, famed forth
and was moved with Indignation"
When He saw His stupid disciples turn
ing children away from Him. Look
out for the holy wrath of a great
saint. Jesus opened the vials of His
intense feeling, and poured them upon
the heads of His laundering friends.
Then it was that He declared. in
deathless terms, the fundamental law
OF His Kingdom: Suffer the little chill
dren to come unto Me; forbid them
not; for to such belongs the Kingdom
OF God. Verify say unto you. Who
'oCfCi siidii llOt receive the KINGDOM
OF God as little child. he shall in
nowise enter therein And He took
them In His arms. and blessed them,
laying His hands upon them"
That Law still runs. The cbilds
Kingdom is coming. The pre-eminence
OF our schools, and the multiplicity
OF laws attuned to child welfare. and
the marvellous growth Of the Sunday
school, all are indications of the pres
ent fulfillment Of the words of Jesus
The parent and the Sunday school
teacher have a great and noble part
IN working out this Christ ideal. They
are factors in the kingdom of heaven
and in the Kingdoms of earth. for
they are dealing with the stuff of
which states are made.
