which Is due to numbers and mutual In
terest and enthusiasm. It means all then
as nfTorded not only by our fellow ohurob
irnmbers, but also in a real rnsa by out
fellow Christians throughout the world. It
mnnnsthat the redeemed and the angelic
hosts in heaven take a real, sincere Interest
In Christ's earthly followers, and In some
manner nnd to some extent nre able aud
Rind to be of Service to us. It means all
this day by day and week after week for
ever. The value of such communion Is auie
Rested by its niennliiK. It nerves nnd eneour
nuns us. It revivs rtnirvlntf energies. It
drives nwsy despair and fenr. It cheers In
hours of loneliness. It brlnirs, heaven close
and renders the cultivnllon of the heavenly
spirit more easy. It shows us how much of
Jesus hrlst there Is In his enrthlv disciples.
It turn- our thought more appreciatively to

men and women endowed w ith Kreat musical
talent learn that tho church wants them and
Is wllllnif to compensate them, th. y will offer
themselves. If our missionary boards could

COMMt'MOM SfNUAT.
It Is not enough that wo have a great
Teacher to tell us how to walk: It Is not
enough that wo have a great I'.vmplar who
puts footprints In the sand nnd let us se
where our footsteps should go. We must
haven Life-giver who wlll lay down His life
for us; and the love must be so great that
nothing is counted in tho balance against it.
Tint It Is the love that saves. And tho blood
saves becnusn it Is the life nnd the love pourod
out Into hearts that iiri-l.lt. Christ Is thedoor
through which tho divluo life enters
into tho world. Christ's cross Is witness ol
the dlvin.i life that Is saving tho world.
ChrUt lays down Ms llle for us. We nro to
lay down our lives for one another. This Is
the simple Ic-Hon of communion Sund.iv :
Life poured out from one full heart Into an
other empty In art ; from one joyous heart In
to an nehing hemt ; from one pure heart Into
a sinful nnd shameful heart. Lymuu Ab

"Are tho ron.-olatioiis of iod small with
thre'.-" was a 0,110-tioti hard to bear when
it was asked. Nevertheless, It Is a searching
question for us. A wealth of consolati jii
comes when n soul, under tho pressure of
groat sorrow or bewildered under per
plcxitfcs und trials can say "I know
that I am having the very bi.st that my
Heavenly father liu for mo toduv.
Were thorn anything bettor lie would luivo
given it to in"." There is 1111 ullliu nco of
divine tevehitlons tmn'liing Mod's pltv, lovu
nnd tenderness that enables one to glv'o free
ly when brought into the presence of sorrow.
The serenity which conns from tho firm
trust thnt (iod knows what is beet brings
with it a tine discernment of tho reul sorrow
of another, nnd the eousequcnt exprnssiou
of it becomes most grateful to the burdened
one. Tho comforts that cuuie from Uod him
self we can well put on.

Thn character of the Lord's Supper must

What, now, on this testimony Is the charac

that of a memorial. "This do in remem

Unit thn primary onuxo of the grip Is the sus

IshnesH of taking ulcoholio btimulauts. Ho
adds:
"Among the more prominent ennses of sus
ceptiblllty ninv bo classed the alinod uni
versal habit of drug taking, from the mild
tonics to pntent medicines. Whenever ono
Is out. of order in uny way, apparently the
first thing to bo dnno Is to swallow some,
thing, Instead of trying to llnd out thoc.iuso
of tho trouble and necking to obviate It by
regulating the habits of life. This drug
habit tends oontinu. illy to lower the tone of
the system, and tho tuoro it is indulged lu
tho more apparent becomes tho imcesmt y of
continuing tho down-hMI course, A largo
nmouut of tho deterioration of our people Is
due to thn use of alcoholic tonics, or stimu
lants, as they nro sometimes railed. Tho
majoiity of per ns do not look beyond tho
fact that they seem to feel bettor after the
use of stimulants, but this feeling comes
from thn benumbing n 'tlon ot tho alcohol
Itself, nnd never from nny building-up action
of tho drug, because it had uo such ncilou."
