By our labor we can warm the surface, but we cannot warm through or kindle the flame that shall transfigure the heart.~ It is beautiful to be used in the service of our fellows; but we are playing with a mighty problem if we think this is sufficient. Men are in need of high ideals, but they are in greater noed of the Saviour. Apart from Him, everything else acts like an opiate, and umbs the sleeper into deeper slumber. If the sleeper is to be aroused, we have got to preach Christ. wr second human ministry to be used in the perfecting of men is the education of the conscience, “warn ing every man and teaching every { { man in all wisdom.” This warning and teaching follow the awakening.

A Life That Defeats Itself. Seif-centred life is everywhere the great disturber of human hapiness. It defeats itself and keeps its vic. tims forever upon the rack. It collides with others’ and God is in its way. It destroys the peace of the home, It leads husbands to be indifferent or unkind to thelr wives, and wives to regard their husbands only as the chief of their own conveniences. It underlies suits for divorce. ‘It leads children to demand that the whole of the family arrangement shall be managed with reference to thls If parsciat pleasure. reeds social jealousies and ea quarrels; it breaks up church choirs, scrambles for the chief seats in the synagogues, and sets church members to pray “Lord, ant that we may sit on Thy right Sand, and on Thy left in Thy King- mn."
