"They thnt were ready went In wHh him to the marriage, and the door win Khut." I'liliiutaklnir nml caution are ns iuc (jssary In Christian service tin In njiy other matter of life. Because tho work to God's and He 'promises supernatu ral help It hy no menus follows that the ordinary rules of prudence and dil igence can be relaxed. Supernatural help does not mean magic or results reached without the use of means. It signifies only spiritual Instead of ma terial powors of heart and soul rather than those of body and mind merely. If you are watching for the bride groom, you will need to take oil enough to last through the long night watch ing. Ono of the cautions Jesus repents again and aaln Is: "Watch! Watch, because ye know not the hour wherein the Son of Man Cometh." It takes time and effort to be a fol lower of Jesus. No one can become a Christian Just by saying "I will be for Christ" There Is more In It than Just wishing to be good. - Rome have at tempted to make the way of salvation so easy that every one shall go in through the gates of pearl. The Mas ter never did this. He everywhere and always Insisted that the service of Ood required all the time, strength and entire devotion of the person. There Is no room for anything else. It Is better not to be self deceived about this matter. You may be very nice and cultured, with refined tastes and quite correct habits, nothing low, vulgar or common. What of It? Have you ever had any real care for Jesus and His service? Will you obey His orders? Do you love Illm supremely, can you endure the long hours of self denial, watching with others, sacrifice of pleasures and comforts for the sake of relieving the distress of Ills suffer ing ones? if so, have patience. Wait and you shall sometimes hear the glad cry, "Behold, He cometh." To go with Illin Into the marriage will be full compensation for nil trials and priva tions endured In waiting and watching. Our Italian Lender. Dr. William Hurt was In 1SS0 trans ferred from the New York east confer ence to the Italy conference and has since that time been tireless In his plan ning and building on all lines of work WILLIAM UUHT, D. I). In that land. Our great building In Home Is the result of his faith and perseverance. He has proved to bo tho providential man for the place. The whole church has confidence In hlra because he has shown wisdom and tact and patience in ono of the most difficult mission fields in the world. Our real beginning here was In 1S72, when Dr. L. M. Vernon made heud quarters at Bologna. Methodist serv ices were begun' July 22, 1873. We now have 31 churches and 10 other preach ing places with 23 preachers and 8 preachers on trial. We havo 2,82(1 members and probationers. The work Is firmly rooted and Is growing with healthful rapidity. Our schools are doing excellent work and are hindered only by lack of funds from reaching much larger numbers. Methodism has the opening which promises much of helpfulness In the redemption of Italy. How to Speak. It Is not an easy thing for most peo ple to speak In meetings for religious purposes. Yet this Is one of tho most helpful means of grace. Thero aro many causes which hinder tho average Christian talking In the prayer service of the church. How to overcome the natural timidity and secure confidence Is a question not easily answered. Some repeat a verse of Scripture or a stanza of a familiar hymn. This is good, but liable to become monotonous if never varied and does not develop much strength for other service. An excellent plan would bo to care fully read the volume just mentioned. Take the paragraph you read In the morning in your prayer closet and which you have thought about so many times In the day. Itepent It or read It. Even this will do good aud bo refreshing. Gradually tho wish to say something nbout It or ask some question, express some opinion, make some application or relate an Incident suggested by It will prompt you to speak, and you will be surprised at the ase with which you can express your, ideas when the deslro to say some-i thing urlses In place of tho mere obli gation to fill up the time. I'll praise my Maker while I've breath, And when my voice Is lust in death I'luttic vim 11 t'lnpluy my nobler powers.
