Wine of Cardul entirely cured her and also helped iej ousthar through the Change ot Hie." THIS IS RELIGION. What is religion? I will tell thee what I think it is—not blindly to disown Thy reason, or couch and lay thee flat Before a something terrible unknown. Not bound with bristling fence of man made creeds To thunder banns from thy presump tuous throne, Nor with the mumbled charms of counted heads To bring God down and make His will thine own, But in His face with reverent love to look Here, where it shines in sky and land and sea. And where a prophet speaks in holy book. To hear His word and take the truth to thee, And hold it fast and tread earthly’s lonely sod With soul sincere as one who walks with God." WHAT IS TRUE RELIGION: When Brought to You It Sheila a Lurid Light Across Your Path. It Is not a time to lose faith in the verities of religion. It is not a time to dpubt that God is in the world, rul ing the nations, and preparing them for the acceptance of a religion whose foundations were laid once and for all time. Religion never had greater re sults to show; religion never had more beautiful characters to illustrate the saving and purifying power of the Gos pel; religion never produced a broader and more philanthropic spirit; it never commanded the loving assent and the anxious endeavors of so many people. “That which has done so much in the long centuries of the past, is doing so much in the enlightened present, and has so large and prosperous an out look, must rest on an enduring basis. It must be the word of the Lord en dureth forever.” But as long as you are looking upon religion as a series of precepts which you feel you ought to obey, the more will you feel a reluctance to have any thing to do with it; when it is brought to you you will feel that it sheds rath er a lurid light across your path; you will fight against it. As long as that is the case, you have not entered into the spirit of Christ, you have not un- j derstood the power of an indissoluble life. When you look at what real relig ion is, you see it should be a living thing. I see it in Christ my Master. All that He does is simply the out come of what His very nature is. The life is within Him and He lives accord ing to it. It is His joy to do the Fath er’s will. He applies Himself for the well-being of mankind. The very vir ture of the sacrifice of Christ lay in this, that it is by His will that He of fers Himself unto God, it is the love in it, the willingness in it. And this is what religion ought to be—a joy; it ' ought to be our nature; it ought to be ; our freedom, a delight to us. If you say “Oh some day I will turn over a new leaf, I will brng my life in har mony with the Decalogue, and begin to act in the way in which the minister j says I ought to act, according to the precepts of the Ten Commandments,” j as long as that sort of spirit exists, j you look through a dim glass, you do not see the real significance of faith and religion. Religion is a life, and ought to work out from you as a life, and therefore I should be your very nature. The religion of the Bible is a posi- ! tive religion. It deals with certainties, j It tells what is, and what shall be. It J rests upon fixed and definite princi ples. It has to do with what is true, i It has an undeviating standard of ! right. It prescribes rules of conduct ! as well as articles of faith. It has a ■ promise for “the life that now is and ! that -which is to come.” It proclaims a God, and sets forth with clearness His j character, His will, His requirements, I His promises, His curses and His bless- | ings. It presents the nature of sin and its consequences. It insists on a per sonal holiness, and pictures the result ant benefit. It provides a Saviour for sinners, and requires faith in Him in order to the enjoyment of His redemp tion. It tells of His person, life, death and work. It reveals the Holy spirit and the offices which He performs: It dis closes a Heaven to be won, and a hell to be shunned. In it there is a divine will to be fol lowed—a revelation to be received and heeded. He who accepts it in its en tirety is assured and responsive. He has a faith which prompts Him to ac tion. He has a love which gathers about a living Lord and Redeemer. He has a cause to uphold, and a work to engage His sympathies and activities. He has a hope which rises above the present and revels in the future. He is ever on the move, and presses towards the realization of His expectations. He has a sure guide in life, a firm support in death, and a guaranteed re ward in eternity. The Christian re ligion, rightly and fully apprehended, never fails to develop positive charac ter.
