Edward Nlles, pastor, preached to a large audience on the subject: "Re joicing in Buffeting " The text was from Colosslnns 1:14: "Now I rejoice In my sufferings for your Rake, and fill up on my part that which Is lark Ins In the afflictions of Christ In my flesh for His body's sake, which la the church." Mr. Nilessnld: When Paul was converted. Chris tianity was a Jewish s.'Ct unknown outside of Palestine When Paul had finished bis missionary tours, he could say With pnrdonnble exaggera tion. "The gospel is preached In all creation under heaven, whereof I. Paul, was made a minister." And how he loved to preach! How he yearned to brlni every one Into knowledge of the .ruth! Then, while In his prime, he be came a prisoner, fettered to a soldier. any hour liable to execution. He 1 would be well nigh excusable had he complained. I never read this verse 1 without astonishment: "Now I re- lolce In my sufferings for your sake." He is not submissive. No passivity 1 lurks in that word "rejoice." Now I after the flight of years, retracing I his life, he comes to realize that the j things for the 1 ri sent grievous never- tbeless worked out the peaceable fruits of righteousness. Now, while : Buffering, he rejoices. No bark sight, but present feeling. Why does he rejoice? Not because 1 he is glad to have a rest from work. Not because ho Is a poser and Bshes for I' npathy. It Is for the sake of the 1 torch, There, In his cell, ho can ; rforxn what makes the church happier, more useful, healthier. Each soldier who mounts guard over him la a soul for him to save, until the whole palace garrison talks about Christ. His presence in the capital eltv gives boldness to the brethren.

Our text mrans je.st that, although many timid Protestant commentators endeavor to explain It away. Wthout Paul. Christ's sufferings would "have been lacking, His coming to earth a partial failure. , Atonement means at-one-ment be tween man and God. Our Saviour's ministry and d.'ati: brought It about from God's side, not from man's. The debt sign in X humanity owed was paid by Hits, but the debtor didn't know it. Jesus lived, preached and suffered In a little corner of the world. He never went outside of that one Roman district on the east shore of the Mediterranean. Caesar never bo much as heard of him. Purposely He made His work intensive, training a few men and women, who did not fully comprehend Him until fifty days after His death, that they and those they inspired might fill up what was 1 bill the man of larkim: in His sufferings for the , behind aim on? world. Jesus died to save the world, but He could not save the world alone. A thousand people were probably con verted by Paul's preaching to one by Christ's. Paul's soul was full of hap piness, no matter what the condition of his body, as he realized how essen tial he was to tha Son of God. It was for him to do what Jesus had not done.

We should have no committees that are not alive, and we should have as many committees us we can keep alive. Each member should be on some :oinintttee, and on n new committee each year. "Diligence" is from the Latin verb "tto choose." and always diligence goes with delight.

Channlr.g. What Led Him to .testis. Dr R. A. Torrey tells a beautiful story of a man In Chicago who had a sweet little daughter. He loved her dearly, but God took that little child away from him. The house was so lonely, nnd he was so angry against Cod that he went up and down bis room fnr Into the night cursing Rod for having robbed him of his caiid. At lust, thoroughly tabllshed upon earth. Yours Is the I wo out, and in great bitterness of responsibility for its delay! Chris tianity is not a means for you to es cape suffering hereafter, a plan for you to attain future bliss. It is a method for you to hasten on the act ualization of the angel's song on Bethlehem's plains. Like the greatest of Christians, you ere called to the ministry. A colle giate education is not required, a the -:pirlt, he threw hlmse' ' on his bed. lie dreamed he stood beside a river.

Let the spirit of display once get .nto you. even as a church, and you may write Ichnbob upon tho temple loor. The things to be shown In the hurch are the Bible, the altar, the :ross "God forbid that I should lory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." If men come to our "hurches and see the precious things, the silver, nnd the gold, and the pices, and the ointment, and see no ross,-they will curse us In 0 t'V calling, whatever your means of live llhood. and that 'calling Is to fill up what Is lacking in the afflictluns of Christ. Fill up the purse of this church so far as In you lies. Fill up the pews Of this church by your presence and persuasion. Fill up the prayers of saints, those vials of golden Incense which should ever be kept burning before Cod. Fill up what Is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the children by participation in the Sunday-school or some branch of young people's .work. With you, the work here reaches nearer the perfect.

As an example. Jesus walks no longer upon earth. Multitudes never read from His biography. Alt they know about Chrlat Is what they see In you. You are His substitute as a pattern.

He had cut oft his enemies and made for him a great name, and that He will do for us (Isa. 55:3). What God did for David Is only n faim suggestion cf what God ran and will do for all who are In Christ (Eph. i:1S-22). God declared to David His purpose not only regard lug himself, but also regarding all Israel. This purpose oi' grace as an nounced in v. 10 had a partial ful fillment in the days of Solomon, but Its complete fulfillment lies SttU In the future. It will bo fulfilled to the very letter (Jor. 24:6;Er. 3 7:25.27; Am. 9:14,15; Is?.. 00:18; Ez. 28:24). t Israel's history has been one of per I Becution and suffering, but it will not aiways bo so. Its temporary triumph under David and Solomon wasi but a faint type of the triumph that Is to be theirs (Zech. S : 2 " 1 . Prepare for the day when the Lord connth again. II. I Will Raise I n Thy Seed After Thee, 12-10. Jehovah's goodness to I David would not end with his de 1 parture from this world. He should ' sleep with his fathers, not die (cf. 1 ! These. 4:14), but bis sued that pro ! ceeded from himself should follow htm upon the throne. Two precious "I wills" are to be noted: "I will raise up," "I will establish." The im mediate and partial fulfillment of this promise was in Solomon (1 K. 8:20; T,:6; 1 Chron. 22:9, 10; 28:6-10). But the final and complete fulfillment Is in Jesus Christ (Ps. 69:29; Isa. 9:0. 7; 11:1-3, 10: Matt. 22:42-14; Acts 2:30). "He shall build Mo nn house ' refers, of course, primarily to the building of tho temple by Solo mon, but thit temple wa only a type of the true temple or habitation ol ' God. The seed of David who Is build ing that is Jesus Christ (Zech. 6:12, 13; Matt. 16:18; Lu. 1:31-33; 1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 2:22). Of Christ's king dom God says, "I will establish His throne forever" (cf. Isa. 9:7; Lu. 1: 32, 33; Gen. 49:10; Ps. 45:0; 72:5, 17-19; 89:33, 37; Dan. 2:44; 7:14; Heb. 1:8; Rev. 11:15). In a sense It would be true of Solomon's kingdom that Jehovah would establish it for ever (1 Chron. 28:7). "I will bo Hit Futher, and He shall he My Son" li true In the fullest sense only of Jesus (Heb. 1:5; Matt. 3:17). Yet even this was true in a sense of Solomon (1 Chran. 28:6). "If he commit in iquity, etc,.," applies primarily to Sol omon, but Jesus entered into the place of the slnuer ( 2 Cor. 5:21), and this about the consequences of the sin of Davld'B seed la applicable to Him (cf. Acts 13:34-37). "With the stripes of tho children of men," with paternal chastisement, would Jehovah chasten Solomon, If he west astray. Solomon did go far astray, and God chastened him and brought him back. Every child of God at some time needs such chastisement. Blessed is he who receives It tDeut. 8:5; Job D: 17; Pa. 94:12, 13; Prov. 3:11. 12; Jer.30:ll; Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:10). God's severest chastisements of Ilia people are entirely different from His Judgments upon the world (1 Cor. 11:30-32). Was Solomon ever re stored to God's favor? Vere 13 an swers the question. Jehovah's love to David secured the house and city (1 Isa. 37:35). SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11. The Christian's Two Sufficient t Guides lohn 16. 1-16; Rev. 22. 18-21. John 16. 1-16. The opening words I of this chapter carry us back to the preceding chapter, the 18th, and fol- 1 lowing verses. Jesus is admonishing his disciples regarding persecutions that would come upon them, and showing their source In the eternal conflict between the Spirit of Christ "the Comforter, whom I vill ser.d you from the Fcthor" nnd the spir it of evil In the world, whose lines of antagonism were slowly drawing about the Master, seeking his death. And he tells them plainly, In verse twenty, "If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you," "And these things they will do because they have not known the Father, nor me." The words of the lesson are to hearten those who might waver in the hour of trial. They give promise of victory, both because being fore warned his disciples shall be fore urmed, and because the departing Master promises the Paraclete, who shall supply the place made vacant by their separation from their Lord. The Holy Spirit shall minister unto them and "reveal the things of mine." Here, then, is the promise of the future spiritual leadership of Christ through the Holy Spirit. These facts are patent: The Holy Spirit "will convict the world In respect of Bin, and of righteousness, and of judg ment." As ambussadors on behalf of Christ, we labor not alone (verse 8.) The Holy Spirit "shall guide into all the truth." Ho shall enllght en the disciples of Christ, and guide in the untrodden paths; he shall speak from God aud shall reveal the future (verse 13.) The Holy Spirit shall glorify Christ (verse 14.) Clearly Christ teaches that this Banie Holy Spirit shall be with us until he comes again (verse 16.) Rev. 22. 18-21. We have here the word of tho Ixrd magnified. Doubt leas tho verses refer only to the book of Revelation In their Injunction re garding adding to or subtracting from the record. But the Christian con sciousness of the ages has applied the truth to the whole of revelation. God's record which we know as the Bible Is a complete Word.

Personally, I have seen bo much of the evils of the liquor traffic In the last four years, so much of IIS economic waste, so much of its phyB- 1 leal ruin, so much of Its mental Mlitht. bo much of Its teara nnd heartache, that I have come to re- ' gard the business as one that must be held and controlled by strong and effective laws. I bear no malice toward those en gaged In the business, but I hate the traffic. I hate its every phase. I hate it for Its Intolerance. I hate It for Its arrogance. I hate it for its hypocrisy. I hate It for Its cant and craft and false pretense. I hate It for its commercialism. I hate It for Its greed and avarice. I hate It for Its sordid love of gain at any price. I hate it for Its corrupting Influ ence In civic affairs. I hate It for its Incessant effort to debauch the suffrage of the coun try; for the cowards It makes of pub lic men. I hate It for Its utter disregard of law. I hate It for Its ruthless trampling of the solemn compacts of State con stitutions. I hate It for the load Its straps to labor's back, for the palsied hands it gives to toll, for Its wounds to genius, for the tragedies of its might-have-beens. I hate It for the human wrecks It has caused. I hate It for the almshouses It peo ples, for the prisons it fills, for the insanity it begets, for its countless graves In potters' fields. I hate it for the mental ruin it Imposes upon its victims, for its spir itual blight, for Its moral degreda tlon. I hate It for the crimes It has com mitted. I hate It for the homes It has de stroyed. I hate it for the malice It has planted In the hearts of men for Its poison, for Its bitterness for the dead sea fruit with which It starves their souls. I hate it for the grief it causes womanhood tho scalding tears, the hopes deferred, the strangled aspir ations, its burdens of want and care. I hate It for Its heartless cruelty to the aged, the infirm and the help less, for the shndow It throws upon the lives of children, for its mon strous Injustice to blameless little ones. I hate It as virtue hates vice, as truth hates error, as righteousness hates sin, as justice hates wrong, as liberty hates tyranny, as freedom hates oppression. I hate It as Abraham Lincoln hated slavery.

Jt we live near our heavenly Father we should strive to realize His con stant companionship. Wherever a devout soul meets God Is a sacred Bpot. whether It be like Jacob's pillar of atone or a Sabbath sanctuary. We may make the workshop, the count ing house, tho study, the kitchen and the fnrmer'B field sacred with God's presence. The nursery In which the pious mother trains her children Is one of Qod's dwelling places; nnd I have seen many a Blck chamber that waa the vestibule to Heaven. Happy the pastor who, returning to his study for his year's work, finds both his Bible open and the mercy seat close beside blm, with precious promises strew thick nbout it! The nearer he getB to his Lord nnd Mastet in that study the nearer will he get to the hearts of his people, both le his pastornl work and in his pulpit. The man of business who gets a little time with God In the morning, over his Bible, or on his knees, will go all the stronger Into the tumult of the day. To him the day with prayer will keep It from raveling out intc many a folly or sin. Stout old Luthet used to say that he "could not get on Without two hours a day In prayer Bnd close fellowship with God." The "higher life" Is simply living close to Ood, on the Sabbath In His sanctuary and through the week lr our own dwellings and places of busi ness. It Is keeping our citizenship ic Heaven and our eyes nbove the blind ing mists of worldllness and out hearts In close touch with our Divine Master. They that thus wait on God shall renew their strength; they Bhall mount up as eagles. Their outlook it wide; their spiritual atmosphere is bracing; they rehearse a great dea' of Heaven before they get there. Close to God here, they will find thj gates of pearl opening to them all ir good time, and they will go In to be "forever with their Lord."

This was poured out. and would have been drunk, but the young ladv asked. "Did you call upon me or upon papa?" flallantry, If nothing else, com pelled them to answer, "We called upon you." "Then vou will please not drink wine. I have lemonade for my vis itors. " The fathr urged the guests to drink. enH the'' were undecided.

Though the past Is Irrevocable, II Is not irreparable. In the garden of Gethsemane our Lord said mourn fully to the chosen three, "Sleep or now, and take your rest;" but He Instantly added, "Rise, let us he going." In the first sentence He taught the lrrevocablenesa of the past; they might as well sleep, foi any good that watching could now do. But In the second sentence He taught that there was still a future before them, with new chances and opportunities and hopes. So shall II ever be. God Himself cannot undc tho past. But He can, and will for give. He will mention the past; bul give us a fair fresh start. He will even "restore the years that the canker worm has eaten." He will give us new opportunities of show ing how truly we repent tht decisions of the past, and how lo ally we desire to serve Him in the decisions of the future. He will not i even mention the thrice denial; buf He will give us three opportunltlet of saying how much we love Him, a?

' Recognizing Our Best Friend. Is God our last hope, or our first? Many a man has turned to his heav etny Father only in his extremity, as I a last resource. Men who have not 1 prayed for years have dropped upon their knees or asked some one else 1 to do bo on the 'deck of a sinking ship, or when the last hope In the universe, for this life and tor the next, was God. Other men, in the midst of physical safety and pros perity, are nevertheless turning to God dally and hourly, not. as theli last, forlorn hope, but aa the glorious assembling of all their hopes; ai their richest blessing beyond all other blessings In thla present houl j of bloBBlng. How much more the . Father can do for those who are ! ready to find In Him every good thing, than for those who leave Him 1 until every other hope has been tried 1 and proved falae! He will do all He 1 can for thoae who turn to Him laBt; but His greatest blessings are for those who seek Him first. Sunday school Times. Alcohol nnd the Workhouse.

Blrminghum Age-Herald. A School For Mothers Soigestlon That No Syttamitlc Effort Is New Mads Along This Line of Education. It Is a em prising fact that, full s but Society is of clubs and federations for women and mothers, no syste matic effort 1b made to educate young mothers or future mothers in the :are of their babies, either physical 5r moral, which work occupies women tor the greater part of their working life, writes Edith Howe, In the New Jfork Evening Post. New Tork City, whose organized "harlty gives advantages to the poor jften unavailable to people in moder ate circumstances, Is, this summer, through its Department of Health tnd charitable societies, sending nurses to instruct the poor mothers jf young babies how to keep them well. New York's high death rate is not limited to the babies of the poor. Ignorance In tho care of bableB Is not limited to the mothers of the poor. Mothers who can afford to pay for instruction, lose their babies for lack f the Instruction. Mothers who are nungry for kindergarten methods of bringing up children, for the elements Df Froebel's "Mother Play," for methods of punishment and moral treatment, based on child psychology, ran at present get that practical and important education nowhere. A school for mothers should be es tablished, whose teachers should be (1) trained nurses who have special ized In infant work, (2) klndorgart nere who have specialized in child and mother psychology. The whole ihould be under the combined super vision of some baby specialist, as Dr. Jacobl, Dr. Holt or Dr. Chapin, and of a child psychologist such as Mlaa Susan Blow or Mrs. Langzettel. The hundreds of mothers' clubs now formed will welcome a course of lec tures from such a school. To women who cannot be members of such a class private tutor lessons could be given, and correspondence coursea arranged for those out of reach. Teachers and students would do well to take such a course, but It Is primarily Intended to give practi cal Information, based on scientific principles and tho experience of au thorities, In place of the unsatisfac tory and desultory advice now given in mothers' magazines, to mothers who want to apply It directly to their own babies. Books and syllpbl should be agreed upon In conference with agencies caring for babies, such as baby and maternity hospitals, the Boerd of Health, charitable associa tions doing practical work with moth ers. The tuition for the course should be high enough to more than cover the cost, but not high enough to exclude those for whom It is In tended women In moderate circum stances. The school should be started In such a city as New York, which Is wide awake to the need of such work, and has the machinery for putting it Into operation quickly and well. The work could be lnagurated with a committee consisting of a baby spe cialist, an expert klndergnrtner, such aa Mrs. Langzettel, who lectures at Teachers' College, for the Froebel League, and representatives from baby hospitals and the Board of Ed ucation. Tho committee should have an active paid secretary, whose busi ness It should be to Interest women's clubs, parent-teacher clubs, mothers' clubs In thechurches, settlements and mothers' congresses to take up such a practical systematic course of study. Elmer Elsworth Brown, Commis sioner of Education, said at the re cent International CongresB of Moth ers at Washington, that the term ed ucation must be interpreted by the United States Board of Education to include the education of mothers In the care of their babies. If the work were successfully started in New York, the National Board of Educa tion might be encouraged to start such education in the public, high and normal schools. The Congress of Mothers might be encouraged to carry such Instruction into every State, city and town in the Union where Its mothers' clubs are at work. Mothers' magazines might be en couraged to apply to headquarters for the advice and Instruction In the care of babies circulated through their pages. The endowment for such a school should not be heavy, aa the tuition should mako it self-supporting, and the Interest on the original fund and the surplus could be used In scholar ships for poor women. In engaging specialists to write the required text books, In founding the work In other centres. A trained nurse, on a salary of $7 15 a month; a klndergartner, on s salary of $100 a month, could deliver two lectures each a day for five dayi in the week, Instruct twenty mothers' clubs, having one leoture a week al ternating with the nurse and klnder gartner. If there were thirty women In each club, and the tuition charged were $10 a year for each men. her, exclusive of the cost of the room Is which such clubs were held, this would bring in $6000 a year, or, after the teachers' salaries were r $3900 a year profit. Were then three nurses and three klndergart nera, that sum would be trebled and would, after paying $2000 a year to the secretary; $2000 a year apiece fees to the baby specialist and child psychologist, asked to give some ol their time to the direction of tba school; $660 to stenographer, and $1500 for office rent and running ex penses, leave $3500 profit yearly. wuieu Huuuiu uo useu in sonoitw tm.r- to poor women ($500); In confer ence expenses ($1000); odvertliioi and exhibits ($1000), and $1000 to a specialist for preparation or re modeling of proper text-books. Ten thousand dollars a year to' five years to establish the school, then, when It has proved Itself, B endowment fund of $100,000, yield' ing $5000 a year for reserve fund aod for establishing schools in other cen tres, would make the systematic I"' structlon of mothers poMlbletbrotik'S' out the Uulted States.
