2 A Practial Man's Ten Reasons for Being a Christian 1.. I Seeded Forgiveness For My Sins. I had sinned against niy body. 1 had befouled my thoughts and mind. 1 had brokeu down my conscience and weakened my will and eharaeter. I had w rouged my family. 1 had done harm to my associates. I had neglected and even defied my Maker and coustant Henefaetor. Without forgiveness I had no self-respect and no peace of mind. 1 found both when God for Christ's sake forgave my sins. 2. / Needed Help to Overcome Tempta tion. T find the suggestion of evil all arouud me. What is worse. 1 find in my nature a response to it. I aiu an animal, without .i t-oimuon animal's natural checks to over-indulgence of animal passions. I am a person, and the impulse is strong to regard my individuality as supreme over all other individualities. Kxperi euee shows me I am too weak in mind, will and eharaeter to control these impulses. 1 need help froui outside of myself. I find that help in the Christian religion. 3. lAm Right With God. There is a God! I don't understand all of this wonderful world in which I live, but what I do understand unanimously vouches for the existence of a Supreme Being. Disobedience to His nat :ra! laws works out certain punishment; obedience to it brings comfort and power. If that is true with liod's lower material law. how much more true will it be with his higher moral and spiritual law. 1 study to live in harmony with both the lower and the higher law. 1 want to be right with God!

I Am Associated With a Religion Which Works. The Christian religion works! It has transformed races and nations as well as individuals. It makes red-nosed "Bum" Smith over into John Smith. Ksq., a blessing to his community. The mere leaven of Christianity changed barbarous Japan into a world power during the tntoe of a siugle life. 1 am proud to profess a religion that "makes good!" 5. It Is a Spiritual Accident and In demnity Policy. In some troubles neighbors and friends can help. In life's deeper sorrow only God can say the right won!. The world's not ■a hard mechanical engine, grinding, crushing remorselessly on. There is a good Friend running it and running it right! God's drills and lathes and puuehes hurt frightfully at times. I grant, but when the Master Workman gets through with me, I*ll be worth living forever! 6. Being a Christian Puts Me Into Good Company. 1 belong to the family of God! I atu a brother of Jesus Christ! The only "poor relations" I have are the angels ui heaven, who have never knowu "saving grace." Yes, there arc some cheap, low-grade Christians; the more is the pity. There are a lot of " Near Christians," people who'd like to have the benefits and privileges of Christians, but are unwilling to pay the price. Cut them all out. and you have left the finest body of human beings in the world. And they are my brothers and sisters! HOW DO THESE REASONS APPEAL TO YOU? 2.

No mm tor how badly Christ ianity is misrepresented by its ignorant and unfaithful followers, everybody concedes that its essential ideas and its main purposes are the uohlest ami worthiest ever given to man. Its fundamental idea is Tightness—right with God. right with one's neighbor, right with one's self. Its funda mental purpose is helpfulness. That appeals to me! 8. It Gives the Right Basis To Universal. Brotherhood. Mutual love, mutual patience, mutual sympathy, mutual help fulness! We are brothers, because we have one common Father and one common Saviour. That is the true and only solution to all social problems. 9. Faith In Christ Takes Away the Terror of Death. As is entirely right and normal. 1 shrink from dying. It is a law of life written of God in my physical nature. Hut when my last hour comes, be it soon or lute. 1 shall not fall into terror and panic, but go in peace. My soul is safe! 10. lAm a Christian Because It Is Right. God gave me existence, fitted me wonderfully to the world about me. To ignore my Maker were a crime! To antagonize Him the basest treason! He gives me existence, protection, oppor tunity for this life and the next. Can I give Him less than my obedience, my love, my life, my all* Would it be right to do less?

SATURDAY NMIT KEYSAMI'EIW.PURVIS.D.D. THE HIDDEN SACKCLOTH. Text. " Uphold he hurt sackcloth wtthln ■l*m his llrsh Kins*, vl, 30. A siege Is * horrible thing;. The be sieger becomes a blood lustful beast, the besieged a frantic animal. Beuha- An(, the Syrian, tieslegcd Samaria, and the resultant fninlno was so awful that two mothers entered Into a hide ous compart to kill their babies on succi-sslve days for food. One mother performed her part of the bnrimtn. hut. when the turn of the second came she refused mul hid her Iwby. in re morseful fury the tirst mother hurried to King Jehorain and poured out her tale in his horrified ears He was so affected by the shocking recital that he tore his garments asunder Impulsively, when a curious thine t.ook place. "The people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh." It was a revelation. It had never oc curred to them that, their king wits nuythlug but a purple wearing, self loving monarch. Now they see him wearing grief garments in their sin eerest and most painful form The Samaritans must have thought better of their king after that Parading the Sscfcctoth. Our eyes and senses are otfended every day by the cruel selfishness of men who are looking out for number one only, and women who spend their all In dress and entertainment—a con stant ministering to self. What a dls play some folks make of their sack cloth! They tell the neighborhood. Kveryone knows their personal all moots, afflictions and poverty. Shal low streams are noisy, A deep river is quiet, especially near the sea. Most of us talk too much with men. too little with God. Yet there are many who, like the ancient king, are secretly wearing sackcloth. They greet yon with smile and apparent cheerfulness, possibly sometimes their manner Is a bit constrained, or you surprise them in tears, but underneath the smile and chat and cheer a secret care is gnaw ing with unrelenting paiu. This Is often in unexpected places. The rich, the privileged, the gifted, men of genius and splendid ability,' back of wealth, honors and medals may wear sackcloth.
