Topic Gideon's band Judj vil, 1 22 The story of Gideon's band is inter esting and inspiring. Gideon was the fifth of the judges of Israel and in many respects the greatest of tberu all. He was called of God to deliver his people from the oppression of the Medianites. He blew his trumpet, and 33,000 rallied to bis standard. By allowing the timid to withdraw and as a result of a second test at the "spring of trembling" his Brmy was rednced to a band of 800 men. These, by a strategy peculiar to eastern warfare, under the battlecry of "The sword of the Lord and of Gid eon I" won a signal victory over Ierael'i enemies, wbiih resulted in a 40 years peace. This historic incident has been the inspiration of thousands of God's people in their struggles against satan, the powers of the air and unregenerate man. In the incident we have the secret of success in Christian work and warfare. 1. Success in Christian work depends more upon God than upon numbers. Numbers are not to be despised, hut tbey are often magnified above their desert There is too much of a tend ency today in Christian work to depend entirely upon external agencies. Ex ternal agencies of great appearance easily lead us to neglect God and to trust in that which is human. We must guard against this tendency. In all Christian work the tource of power is God. If God be for us, greater is He that is for us than all they that be xgHinst us, and if He be for us, no mat ter who or what is against us, we shall prevail. To sncced we must keep close to God. It is- not by might nor by pow er, but by God's spirit, trne success is won. Panl may plant and Apollos wa ter, but God only can give the increase. 2. Snccest- in Christian work de pends more upon the character of the workers thau upon the number of them Quality is more to be desired than quantity. Panl, with :i little band of devout, consecrated followers, stirred the whole heathen world and largely won it for (Jurist, olore attention should be paid to the quality of Chris tian workers. Too many are hindrances rather than helps. They impede prog ress rather than accelerate it. They are in the way rather than on the way. There needs to be more testing today than there is. The half hearted and doubting should tarry behind until they are full of the Holy Ghost Those who are bowing the knee to Baal should step aside till entirely consecrated to God. This topic should suggest a personal testing of ourselves. What kind of sol diers and workers are we? Are we tim id and half hearted? Are we worldly, selfish Christians, thinking more of something else than God, or are we whole hearted, consecrated followers of Christ? Bible Readings.

Tlie AVondera of God's Power. "We think of God's power chiefly when we are in the. presence of some natural phenomenon, like Niagara or the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone, but no one can reflect long upon the most commonplace landscape or other natural fact without being impressed by it. nor is there a greater pleasure to most devout minds than to meditate upon such a subject Mark off a square foot of ground some time and then ex amine it minutely and patiently, study ing what there is in it in the way of plants or minerals, how it came to be what it is, how it is changing from day to day, and yon will gam new concep tion of the divine power and wisdom. To study God's power on a large scale, as in connection with astronomy, for example, -impresses one strongly with the immensity of the divine power, but to study it in little things impresses one equally with its wonderful care of de tail, its almost incredible attention to the perfection of. details and with the love of order and beanty which surely must be qualities in the divine natnre Congregationalist 111 Muted. A spiritually prepared preacher with out a like minded congregation is like yoking the ox and the ass together. In stead of great things for the glory of God and anabundanceof blessings from the word ot life the assembly goes its way and straightway forgets what man ner of men and women they are. The preacher is thrown back upon himself and requires a double portion of the spirit to save him from despair. The unbelieving go on in their sins, and the gospel goes forth into a community where sin abounds shorn of its power as an immediate remedy for the regen eration of human society. Reformed Church Messenger. God 'Warn PrepnrlnR. How often, after those who are dear to us have been suddenly called into the better life, we recognize that a strange tenderness and "responsiveness to spirit ual motives characterized them in'tbe days or weeks immediately preceding the summons! They did not in the-least realize that they were so near the end, but God was preparing them for it. Watchman. The Hoot of All Evil.

It is a recent discovery, but it has been on the market long enough to have the endorsement of leading physi cians and the recommendation of thousands of cured patients. Pyramid Pile Cure acts quickly and directiy. It cures the csuse of tlie trouble. Cures it so that the ef fect is permanent. A great many halves and ointmeiitb w ill give relief for a few minutes. That is not what is wanted. Pyramid Pile Cure will cure any sort of piles: blind, itching or "bleeding. It will cure the lightest, or the most aggra vated case. The first application will do more good than a dozen boxes of any of the many of the so-called cures now sold. Read these letters. They aie fiom people who have tried it. Mr. J. AV.
