THE CHRISTIAN WAY
RELICiON AND REFORM ALL
OVER THE WOR2D.
I eace wltli Cod 7j;Sougli Jesus Christ —
God and tl«j> church —The Strain of
the Cross Tomorrow’s Hardens
Bcl, 'S -foatcut.
S' xr> Y? HAT’S all our bur
£ d// dens—every lit
r\ V/ tle trial “
/ avr > V The cares that
f\ I seem so very,
very small,
Wo kEOW that
'c) heavy griefs lie
soothes and
lightens,
But doe 3 He note,
and will He
carry all?
When at our waking, everything seems
dreary,
And all day long our spirits are at
strife,
With little never ending, ever-chang
ing
Annoyances that fill the thread of
life.
And when we do our best, yet fail of
pleasing,
And they to whom our very lives
are given
So little comprehend, so little heed us,
Do these things touch the heart of
Christ in heaven?
And may we tell Him all things, nor
offend Him?
Will He not weary of our ceaseless
’plaint?
And does He care to have us bring be
fore Him
Our every need with child-like un
constraint?
Oh, yes! Thou never yet hadst any
trial
However trivial it has seemed to be
That did not hold the sympathy of
Jesus
And bind His heart still closer unto
thee.
Well, God loves patience! Souls that
dwell in stillness
Doing the little things, or resting
quite,
May just as perfectly fulfill their mis
sion,
Be just as useful in the Father's sight.
As they who grapple with some giant
evil,
Clearing a path that every eye may
see!
Our Savior cares for cheerful acquies
cence,
Rather than for a busy ministry.
And yet He does love service, when ’tis
given
By grateful love that clothes itself
in deed;
But work that’s done beneath the
scourge of duty
Be sure to such He gives but little
heed.
Thea seek to please Him, whatsoever
He bids thee!
Whether to do —to suffer—to lie
still!
’Twill matter little by what path He
led us,
If in it all we sought to do His will.
Peace with God Through Jesus Christ.
Everybody seeks for peace. Even
they who claim to care least for it
crave it and are restlessly striving, in
one or another way, to attain it. It
may not mean to some precisely what
it means to others, but all desire it as
they understand it. If true peace, the
peace of God, that peace which is due
toward consciousness of oneness with
God in spirit, be sought, it can be ob
tained only in the way whicti God has
appointed and approved. It can be
gained only through accepting Jesus
Christ as our Savior. It needs to be
emphasized that peace is not stagna
tion, the utter absence of action and ef
fort. Nor i 3 it mere outward tranquil
ity, the quiet due to the lack of dis
turbing forces. Nor is it always even
freedom from inward doubts and anxi
eties. It is that sure and serene con
fidence that all is going well and will
end well for us which is due to the as
surance that God reigns and that He
loves and cares for us unfalteringly.
It is the dictate of philosophy and the
testimony of experience that this peace
with God is granted only to those who
are disciples of Ilis Son, Jesus Christ.
Without Prayer.
j. modern writer on Christian ethics
says of prayer that, “whatever else it
is—duty, privilege or spiritual exercise
—it is also a necessary element of the
spiritual life. When it stops entirely
spiritual life stops. To be without
prayer is to be without God.” These
are uncompromising assertions, but
they cannot be denied. They are ac
cording to Scripture and to all human
experience. But what ghastly testi
mony they bear against those who re
strain prayer before God, who go to a
prayerless bed and rise to a prayerless
day’3 work, who are neither drawn by
joy nor driven by sorrow to the mercy
seat, but live from day to day and week
to week like the beasts that perish.
Money and lla|»|ilneaa.
A valuable addition to the discussion
of the pertinent question, “Does wealth
bring happiness,” comes from the late
Cyrus W. Field. A few weeks previous
to his death he said to a reporter:
“Money is really worth only what it
will bring In the things wo want; and
for that purpose, ten dollars a day aro
worth Just about as much as one thou
sand dollars a day. In addition to this
there is only the gratified pride which
arises from having made what men gen
'orally call a great success —the satis
faction that the boy has who swims the
farthest, or the girl who stands at the
head of her class.”
A solemn warning to parents came
from the lips of Mr. Field upon his dy
ing bed. He said: “My life is»a wreck;
my fortune gone; my home dishonored.
I was so unkind to Edward when 1
thought I wa3 being kind. If I had only
had firmness enough to compel my boys
to earn their own living, then they
would have known the meaning of
money.
llow to Re a Christian.
Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler struck the
keynote of the Christian life when he
said:
There is more pulp than pluck in a
great deal of what passes for piety. It
is an audacious attempt to get a free
ride to heaven in a drawing room car,
with plenty of select company and good
fare on the road.
"Will Dr. A. be in his pulpit to-day?
Will the music be up to the mark? Is
it likely to clear off? Then I’ll try to
go to church to-day.” With such a so
liloquy on Sabbath morning, how much
grace is there likely to be left for the
wear and tear of the week.
The piety that Christ smiles upon is
a piety that will stand a pinch and face
a storm; that would rather eat an
honest crust than fare sumptuously on
unholy gains; that gladly gives up its
couch of ease to sally on its mission
among the outcasts; that sets its Puri
tan face like a flint against fashionable
sins. We talk glibly abent “taking up
a cross,” but a cross is intended for
somebody’s crucifixion. On Calvary’s
cross we know full well who bled away
his precious life. On our cross self is to
be the victim. Loyalty to Christ often
demands the plucking out of the right
eye and the amputation of the right
arm. The sublime glory of Abraham's
offering really was that he was willing
to thrust the kni'i through the very
heart of self. O, it is not the taking up,
it is the giving up, that makes a strong,
athletic, heroic Christian.
The Need of Worship.
Humanity has need of worship and of
laws. Worship is needed in its rela
tions with the Divinity and with the
supreme principles of its being; laws
are indispensable for its social exist
ence. Christ on the cross has estab
lished worship “in spirit of truth;” has
completed and set the seal upon His
legislation of justice and charity.
What there was of the true and the
good before Christ was only a prepara
tion and a figurative symbol of Him
and His mission in the world fulfilled
on the cross. Indeed, His own life,
with the miracles and teachings, was
the continuous development of a plan,
beginning at Bethlehem and ending on
Calvary, where He fixed His throne.
From the moment of Christ’s death
nothing was left for humanity but the
evolution and the application of the
work accomplished by Him on the
cross.
Doing Content.
When those hours come upon U 3 in
which we yearn for the wings of a
dove that we may flaway and be at
rest, let us strive to overcome our sad
ness by the cheering influence of hope,
let us go to God for that "peace that
passeth understanding,” and thus
change the burdens of life into bless
ings. There is no sorrow- which may
not in this way be alleviated, no wound
that may not by this balm be healed.
In doing so we will indeed be carried
away from our sorrows and trials to a
condition of holy rest in God. This is
after all the great blessing. “Being
content, the poorest man is rich; while
he who counts his millions hath little
joy be he otherwise.”
God and the Church.
“The wish to spread the knowledge
of the love of Jesus Christ is a strong,
over-mastering impulse in every man.
in every woman, who really knows and
loves Ilim. The absence of any kind
of anxiety for the spread of the truth
implies actual spiritual death. The
man who knows the happiness of ‘peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ.’ cannot but desire that other
men should share it, and this desire, in
its higher, its stronger, its more he
roic form, is one of the greatest gifts
of God to His Church. Churches are
generally living churches in exact ra
tio of their missionary anxiety.”—Can
on Liddon.
Tho Strain of the Cross.
“If Jesus, amid the strain and weak
ness of the cross, when yielding to him
that had the power of death, rescues a
soul from sin and hell, shall we hesitate
to come to Him. who is now exalted to
God’s right hand, Lord and Christ,
Prince and Savior, to give repentance
and remission of sins?” —Rev, W. W.
Taylor.
The Oulet Way.
“The maelstrom attracts more notice
than the quiet fountain; a comet draws
more attention than the steady star;
but it is bolter to be the fountain than
the maelstrom, and star than comet,
following out the sphere and orbits of
quiet usefulness in which God places
us.” —John Hall.
Truth.
“Truth now must be sought, and that
with care and diligence before we find
it. Jewels do not use to lie upon the
surface of the earth; highways are sel
dom paved with gold; what i 3 most
worth our finding calls for the great
est search.” —Stillingileet.
Tomorrow’H Hurclen*.
Do not carry tomorrow’s burdens to
day; for the morrow shall carry its own.
Sufficient unto each day are the bur
dens thereof, and according to each
day’s need shall strength be given tn
those who ask it.
Religion; Siallstim.
There has been computed, ‘‘on tht
basis of the latest scientific and statis
tical sources accessible,” a suggestive
table cf the distribution of the people
of the globe according to their religions,
The population cf the earth Is esti

follows: Europe, 381,200,000; Africa,
127,000,000; Asia. 354,000,000; Australia,

Raptism Versus RaschalL
The little town of Jamesburg, Kan.
is all agog. The town has the champion
baseball team in the county, and the
final game of the season was to have
been played on Friday. On the same
day the Baptist pastor of the town, who
had been holding a red hot revival
meeting, was to baptize the converts.
Among them were five members of the
ball team. The ceremony was to have
taken place at the same hour that the
ball game was scheduled for, and as the
players could not do both things at the
same time they went to the minister
and asked him to postpone the bap
tism until Saturday, so that they could
play the game. He did so, and the
good people of the town are very much
put out.
A Picturesque Church.
There is no church in London so
grimly affecting or more grewsomcly
picturesque than St. Giles’, Cripplegate.
Its lantern is strangely gaunt and
blackened, its towers stark and solemn.
The approaches are all straggling and
curious. The curious skulls and hour
glass over the entrance to the church
yard are vigorously done. It escaped
the great fire, and is an interesting
church altogether. Here are Milton’s
tomb, Fox’s (of the ‘‘Book of Martyrs”),
and that of a daughter of Shakespeare’s
“Lucy.” The register shows the mar
riage of Oliver Cromwell to Elizabeth
Boucher. In the churchyard a larg;
fragment of the old city wall is to b€
seen.
llmv to Spend Sunday.
Dr. Lvnian Abbott, in answer to the
question, “May I read a Sunday news
paper?” says: “Certainly, if that is thf
best literature you can find to develof
reverence and faith and hope and love
if that queer modern melange of bal:
games and politics and horse races and
theatrical criticisms and portraits ol
dancers and records of crimes and
with a little literary criti
cism and occasionally a religious edi
torial thrown in to sanctify it —if thal
is the best thing you can find to make
you more reverent, more hopeful more
full of faith, certainly read it. Ido not
find it so myself."
The I.a*t Silence.
St. Paul tells Titus to exhort servants
to please their masters in all things
“not answering again.” If there is tc
be comfort in the house, others besides
the servants must not answer again.
“Answering again” means trying to get
the last word; but those who desire do
mestic felicity will rather strive after
the last silence. To certain husbands
and wives, and brothers and sisters, we
commend the following words of an
old writer: “They which keep silence
are well 3aid to bold their peace, be
cause silence oftentimes doth keep the
peace, when words break it.”
A Working Motto.
Sin worketh, let me work, too;
Sin undoeth, let me do;
Busy as sin my work I’ll ply,
Till 1 rest in the rest of eternity.
Time worketh, let me work, too;
Time doeth, let me do;
Till I rest in the rest of eternity.
Busy as time my work I’ll ply,
Death worketh, let ine work, too;
Death undoeth, let me do;
Busy as death my work I’ll ply,
Till I rest in the rest of eternity.
—Selected
Onward.
“Our being is not quite buried in tor
por and darkness. Already it is burst
ing out into light and expansion. Full
it i 3 of epochs and heroic crises. It
feels itself called upon to act and to ad
vance. And to this earth-strife that
presses upon us every day, to this sol
emn waiting, to this dim bordering up
on the realm of boundless light, is
there not a voice that says; ‘Onward!
Onward forever!’ ” —Orville Dewey.
Doing Good.
To do good and communicate forget
not. The man who wants a chance so
to act will soon find an opportunity.
No one need go with his hands in his
pockets for want of Bomething to do for
God and«Khe good of humanity; there
is work on every hand to which he ia
lovingly invited.
Fair Weather Friends.
The friendship that does not reach
you in your hour of adversity is little
worthy of the name. Fair weather
friends are, after all, enemies in dis
guise.
A public reading room is supported
by the Christian Endeavor society of
Honesdalc, Pa. Visits to the number
of B,CIO were made to the reading room
last year. The society has observed
one month as self-denial month, in be
half of this work.
This country, with Its institutions,
belongs to the people who inhabit It.—
