Why thoulJ ChrUt hare all our time ?
Life's Utile Span. Ps. 39:1-5: Life
is often represented by a line reach
ing from the cradle to the grave. The
Psalmist thinks that life is so slioil
that he says that it is no longer than
a hand-breadth. However long life
may seem to be as we look forward
from youth, when we have reached
its end and look backwards it will
seem very short; and, because life is
so short, we ought to be very careful
to use all of our time to the very
best advantage. The work that God
has given us to do in the world can
not be done in less time than that
which He has given us for our life.
Wasted Time, Acts 17:21: In Paul's
day there were many in the city of
Athens who spent their time in gos
siping and listening to hear what
others had to say. If we were to
count the time in any one day which
we have wasted in the same way,
you would probably be surprised. The
trouble about most such talking is
that it does harm instead of good.
One of the peculiar characteristics of
human nature is that we are much
more apt to talk about what is bad
in people than to talk about what is
good. A young lady being asked how
she and two friends had spent a rainy
day said that in the close of the day
they had raised that question them
selves and they found, as she ex
pressed it, that they had laid a hun
dred and seventy of their acquaint
ances upon the dissecting table to see
what there was of corruption in them.
New Use of Time, 1 Pet. 4:1-9:
The Apostlo Peter shows how this
characteristic of human nature is de
veloped in the ungenerate heart and
reminds us that we are to give ac
count for all such waste of time. He
urges us to use our time in showing
charity to others and in leading sober
and prayerful lives.
At Christ's Disposal, Phil. 1:19-26:
The Apostle Paul, writing from his
prison in Rome, felt that the end of
his life was near at hand, and said
that it would be a source of joy to
him to go to be with Christ. How
ever, he was entirely willing to leave
himself in Christ's hands to be used
as he saw best. He knew that if his
life was spared he could still continue
to work for Christ and the Church.
Full Consecration, Luke 1:67-80:
Zacharias, the father of John the Bap
tist. in his song of thanksgiving and
prophecy at the time of the circum
cision of John, said that he would be
consecrated to (Jod throughout ail his
life and that we also should be so
consecrated. We know how well John
devoted bis life to the service of (.Jod.
and it should be our aim and effort
to do likewise.
Letting Time Slip, 2 Chron. 24:1-5:
When Joash, the young king of Ju
dah, wanted to repair the temple,
which had been badly damaged by
his predecessors, he called together
the priests and Levites and gave them
the work of raising the money for
this purpose. How natural it is to
read "the Levites hastened it not."
We could almost imagine that he was
speaking of some modern church con
gregation which realized that there
was work to be done and yet its mem
bers were pxitting it off. Very differ
ent was the spirit of David when he
said "The King's business requireth
haste."
All for Christ, Our Time, Eccl. 12:
1-7 : If we give our hearts and lives
to Christ and his service in the days
of our youth and serve him faithfully
all the days of our lives, we will not
come to the sad old age which the
wise man describes in these verses,
but instead our lives will be filled
with brightness and the going down
of the sun will be altogether glo
rious.
What Proportion of Time Should
Wo Give to the Church? No fixed
rule can be laid down as to how much
time we shall give to the Church.
Each one must settle this question by
considering the conditions in which
he is placed and the work which is
to be done. He should then take the
whole matter to God in prayer and
be guided by Him.
How Might We Make Ilctter Use of
Our Time? The best way to make a
good use of our time is to remember
its value. We sometimes hear the
expression, "the golden moments." If
we had a handful of grains of gold,
we would be careful to see that none
of them slipped through our fingers
and were lost. Moments, if used prop
erly, are worth more than gold. We
should plan our lives so that none of
our time is lost.
Why Should Clirist IIuvc All Our
Time? All our time belongs to Christ,
because we belong to him. It is there
fore our duty to use all as he directs.
Some of it is to be spent in doing the
daily work which he has given us to
do. Some to be spent in learning more
of him and his will through the read
ing of the Word of God and prayer
and by other forms of worship. Some
should be spent in work for others.
Some should be used for some form
or recreation and pleasure, which will
make our lives better and fit us the
better for doing our work.

Secretary, Dr. A. O. Browne, without
help from the War Work Council, in
augurated the work here in the army
and navy camps, erecting buildings at
Camp Nicholls, at Algiers Naval Sta
tion, and at West End Naval Train
ing Camp, and early in 1918 secured
an appropriation from the National
War Work Council and erected the
building at Jackson Barracks.
These camps are all in the city
limits of New Orleans, and of course
are real, live branches of the Central
Association.
* The War Work Council, beginning
In August, 1917, co-operated with Dr.
Browne and the local Association by
sending a secretary to take charge of
the Camp Nicholls work, and later an
other secretary for Algiers, and still
later secretaries for West End and
Jackson Barrack?, and by furnishing
supplies. - .
