Heaven's ultimatum to the Christian world! We arc accustomed to think of nil such calls of God as belonging distinctively to those who hnve not nccepted Christ. This chapter speaks to acknowledged be lievers in Und. It is the voice of the Holy Ohost. The long parerthesis of our Scripture lesson comes to our hearts, perhaps, as a sur prise, that there is something else for us to do than merely to profess. We listen with wonder as to a new snspel. We think we hnve "heard His voice." what need have we to hark buck to those old sinful children in the wilderness, nnd their forty days of nnathy nnd childish ingratitude; "tempting" (Jod though they saw His won derful works nil those ve.irs. God was grieved with them, "They hnve not known Mv ways. C'.in it be tlint we arc grieving Him 111 the same wnv? And whnt is this "rest" that "thev mieht not enter into?" Not the rest of the Sab bath, though mere rest from labor was un doubtedly the first meaning of the promise for a people yet unable to understand any burlier rest. J. Edwards says: "Eveiy time the. promise is renewed it is presented in a higher anil more spiritual form. Every rejection inevitably lends to grosser views nnd more hopeless unbelief. So entirely false is the fable of the Sibyl. God docs not hum some of the leaves when His promises have been rejected, and come hack with fewer offers at a hinhcr price. His method is to offer more nnd better on the sn no conditions. Itut it is the nature of unbelief to cause the heart to wax gross, to blind the spiritual vinion, until, in the end. the rich, spiritual promises of God and the earthly, dnrk unbelief of the sinner stand in extremest contrast. The promise is next presented ns the rest of t'annnn. The rest now consists 111 the enjoyment of material prosperitv. " But even in this second Garden ot Men Israel did not attain unto God's rest. orloliness became their snare. The call is nt Inst urgent. 'To-day!' It is the last invitation. It lingers in'the ears 111 ever fainter voice of prophet nfter pro phet, until the prophet's face turns toward the east to announce the lirenU of iliwn and thn coming of the perfect rest in Jesus Christ." And to our astonished hearts Taul adds IH Wa.nintr for illimerltntp nptinn "Vhr. fine, take heed, brethren." nnd we realize there is a pnisiliilitv tlint Ave linvi Itnnn "departinsf from the living Goil " nnd ihnt- our only hope of entering into the rest of Christ's peace is (o hear the call to day. Ihis rest of Christ is the one thinrr we ns Christian Kndcavorers need most if we would he true workers, if we would "urge lorwara movement during the eoininir vear. .f wo wouhl win annla fni Plipijl For those who nrc thoroughly rested do not need to sit idle forever, but nrc ready nnd glad to go to work again.

Wlmt a new comnlexion this would lend to life, if, as we stepped out from our homes we could rea lixi that w sura going forth, not to make a living, not to eurn our salary or stipend, not to amuse, instruct, or legislate tor men, as our pri mary object, but to discover what God was doing in the world, and to give Him jnich help as we could! It may seem a high and impossible idea, but the more ono thinks of it the more it prows unnn tUn mind. We ure bidden by the apostle to abide with Ood in every calling in which e were canea. ive Know that ho claimed to be a fellow worker or coin borer with Cod and why should the significance of such a conception be reserved for the mis sionary or minister of religion alone? Nothing so degrades our toil ns the con stant thought of the pay we shall receive, for doing it. If tins is liberal, we are apt to be cheerful and deft-handed; if it ia meager and stinted we grumble and move to it a slaves. But if we once realized thnt our work was with Ood, how eager, how quick, how strenuous would be our endeavors, that we might not disappoint nor fail Him! Since companionship with the great and good is always a jovful thing it would put a song on our lips if we real ed toe blessed copartnership in our toils with God. Christian Endeavor. Live Worthily. Existence 11 not given to' be wasted in the prosecution of selfish plane or in ad vancing and executing trifling ones.
