Give! cries the world, and | after the gift ha- t>een receive I, like' | the swine at the trough, it is -dent! and insatiable. VMetle. the Greek philosopher on . being asked what grows old the eue k est. replied, “Thanks." How true the answer! The -|m>ii- e like lypi of life is a selfish type of | life. It receives but never gives. ! It is n re hies-ed to ive than to re- j ceivc. This iternal truth is self-e’i | dent. How near-sighted I umun natur is ; । when ;t conics to give the helpin'i ! han 1 to the on ■ who is in e ■ 1! -low dull of hearing to the erics and ap । pc., s for help! How slow for erra ds jof mercy! Sin and selfishness are the two weights that dn. a 1 i t r 1 , the nil’s progress. In the store of I I life we ha'e too many put knees of j personal pronouns tied v h the < > d of self. Let us mite with joy and da.ln s-’ | however, that there ar some who 1 never forget those who have b- fr’ 'nd- I , ed them when at the cross-roads of I life. “There goes my friend," says one, "who was a friend, indeed. I will I i never forget his kit nest» me mmy moments of poverty. I alw iy- make i it a point to -end him a f< v flowers on his birthday." Here is the expression of gratitude A wealthy Maryland planter was rid ing one day to one of his plantations where his slaves were holding reviva’ meetings. From out the doorway of I one little cabin he heard the voice of prayer and praise. He listened an heard the fervent thanksgiving for । the blessings of their depressed lot. His heart was touched and with emo i tion he looked up and exclaimed, "Alas, O Lord. 1 have my thousands i and tens of thousands, and yet. un ' grateful wretch that I am. I never thank thee, as these poor slaves do, who have scarcely clothes to put on or 1 food to satisfy their hunger." The apostle bid us “in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests lie made known unto God.” Again we read. “Rejoice in the Lord always, and ■ again I say rejoice!" Here is a Christian -aint shackled in the irons of imprisonment with only a vision of death liefore him showing a temarkahle love for his master. Joy I was the ground-stone of his life and his whole Chirstian carver was one of | jubilee and enthu-iasm. If any class I if people ought to be happy it is the Christian because the track of life is I clear, for the wreckage of sin has been | cleared by the Son of God. Notwithstanding this supreme truth we find many mutes in the church Ears have they, but they hear not. Eyes have they, but they see not. Feet have they, but they walk not. Quiet and ornamental, these Chris tians are moved about from pew to pew. 1 I sometimes wonder when this quiet army expects to work. When do they expect to grip wholesomenes* of ' <'hristian service as the vita! thing in - religion? The drones of the church j are today creating an atmosphere that iis almost -atamc in character. We I know that our Christian religion is । I the song of life. From the slave to I the king it has given a new impetus ' | in the working out of one’s -alvation. 1 l It has a living Christ and an inspired ! Hook whose rules are ideal. It has a church that is the greatest organiza- I ’ion in the world the adherents of 1 which represent the highest and last type of human life. It is the noon | time sun that keeps the world in light. Christianity is not a failure, as has I liven suggested over and over again , Iby the critics. Its teachings fail only when its numbers fail to daily trans [ late the love and character of Christ. All that is false and abnormal is a result of just this condition. Is the physician a failure liecause the pati I ent does not take his medicine? Is i the lawyer a failure because his client fails to take his advice? Is the bamm I eter ii failure because the captain does 'lot heed its warning? Is Chnstian | ity a failure because the sinner does not accept the blessed invitation of "Come unto Me?” God cannot fail !in any of his divine purposes. He is ' pure, just, holy and wise. The word failure is not found in the heavenly j vocabulary. Life is too precious for ; God to lie interested in failures; we ' are the ones who, through various i nuses, fail to ring true. How few of I God’s people ieally catch the vision of Chrirt and his apostles! How often selfishness creeps in. like a thief in | the night, and the individual’s life is I stunted. ! The real things of life are priceless They canot he bought. Let us see I what a few of them are.

These thing that we have just mentioned are with out money and without puce. And ye. men will pu-h aside God's command ments, they will sidestep the beati tildes, and wend their way around the golden rule in order to satisfy their ■ i'fish ends. We are living in days when w -hi uld drop our heads in deep humil iation. The clouds hear the bursting shells Families are divided Homes have been rent asunder and the tiny grave marks the resting place of the hero. Is this any time in our country to take advantage of such conditions" Are not he hearts of thousands break ing? No' It is a time for brotherly love and deep compasion. It is a time to practice what we pleach by helping all who are worthy and who need help. It is n time to thank God for the golden opportunity of Christian service It is rather also a time for daily joy and thanksgiving because I of God’s wonderful love and provi I dence over our lives.
