Let us make tbe most of our privilege and not miss a tingle Sunday. Our class meeting, by subdividing the membership for loving watchcare, are our special privilege. Beech er in "Our Seven Churches" says "no other church has any provision that can for a mo ment compare with tho class system." Clark says "no expedient has proved more successful than tho plan of class work, iu the care ot converts." Othwr churches employ this system irregularly: we use it constantly. They thus care a littie while for young members: we con tinue thus to care for all members. They do well in helping young Christians: we do better by placing them where they will get the benefit of tho experience of veterans in the army of the cross. "No other people," says Atkinson,"can exhort like Methodist lavmen, no others have such a reserve of working power coupled with prevailing energy among gathering crowds of earnest seekers of religion. They partake of the joyous type which love-feasts are so well adapted to pro mote. Ecstatic songs, victorious shouts, faces radiant with love of Christ, souls soaring heavenward in spiritual delight frequently show that "the joy of the Lord is strength."
