In their ntlllctioii, and by taking a deep practical interest in homos for the Iricmllossj-tliu, in a thousand ways, Christiana may beiomo ChrKt'a witiiCA.es. Theie is. not a Christian on earth who may not be, and who should not be, a witness for Christ. C'lniM needs them. Ills cliurcli needs them. They are needed al home, they nre needed abroad, and they will continue to be needed until the blcvdngs of Christ's, gorpcl will reach the ntteimost put of th" earth. MCST lIAVi: POWT.H. 2. Hut witnesses, mut haic great power be foie they can accomplish this lcsult. So Christ fa, and He tells tis what Is the tecret a.s well as the souice of this power: Ve fhall rcceiw power after that Ihe Holy (ihc-t is come upon jou," Hence it appear that nieir comcroion Is not enough to in ike line an efficient witness for Chiist. 'Ihe apostles were converted when C'liri-t told them that they neded power, and tint they lould not be Ills witnessed until they leeched that power, A meie profession "of faith in Cluint is not enough to make, one a strong witness for ChrNt. A wlutes.s that will stand the test befoie the woild's jury and under the seere cioss-ovimin-ntion, must lue some Mionger power to lean upon than a meie piofcssion of his faith. In Ihe tiial c.f a cause, the character of Hie wltne-u is not always fully exemplified in ids direct-examination. It is the cross-examination tint tests his character and his truthfulness. And It is cen so with Chust's witne-v.es. S-oinp of thin cJu not stand the test of men a mild, much less of a rigid cross-examination. Their manner of life contradicts their profession. They profess that they know find, but In woiks they deny Iliin Titus I: 10). At times all looks fair. (In the Sabbath, and at tho Lord's table they act like C'liUttiaiis. Hut at home, in business. In ton xersation, in conduct, In fidelity to their tens ions obligations on 'hese points nuiny wit-nc.-cs will break down under cross.-examinatlon. Hence it is well to eniphas're the fact that a mere formal piofcs.ion of fillli in Jesus Christ Is not enough to make one an cilkient uilm-9 for Chii-t. Wc need a power above and lie and that. Wc need the power which CluM's apos tles needed, namely, the powci of the Holy (Jho-t. Peter owed allegiance to ClirUI, and declared that lie would die rather than deny Illm. Hut lie did deny Him and forsook Him. Hut look at Peter after lie had leccbed the Holy (ihost! Fee Illm on the day of l'cnteeo-,t ! Theie lie was n lo.Mil and tiue witness, and it would be easier to" move a mountain from Us base, than to in duce lilni to deny his I.oid and Master. So .lani'.s and .John xowed allegiance to Christ, but how Inconsistent tliej; were, and how destitute of Christ's spiilt when they wanted to call down fire fiom heaien to destroy tho Samaritans. They did not fully realize until the.v lcciived the Holy (ihost tint .lesiia came not to de-tioj men's lie-, but to nc them. Tin: rowuu Ni:i:i)Ui).
