Only those who do His will can its priceless value tell. Round me sweep the waves of sorrow, And their surgings press the sonl. With this secret still before me Tempests 'rise and billows roll. Secret of undying love lifts my heart to worlds above. At our comrades' fading sunset, When their spirits pass a'way, But for this most precious secret, Here my soul could scarcely stay. fn accents sweet I then can hear, "He thy nlansiou will prepare."

If these powei'S are in this enlightened age so mysterious to the people and they look with awe upon their practise, how much greater their effect in connection with spiritualism, when used by the pagan priests upon the superstitious and ignorant people of the past. .From time immemorial these have' been practised in pagallism, notably in India. and their present-day prominence in our land is simply another form of the dragon's work manifested. Yea, the dragon is loosed. He now goeth about, not as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but clmningly in a pleasing garb, seeking wholll he may cleceiye.

"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one"; are "one" as the Father and the Son are one. "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." "We are laborers together with God." "It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." 1 Cor. 3: 8; John 17~ 17-21; 1 Cor. 6: 17; 3: 9; Phil. 2: 13. We have a high calling and an honorable office as ministers of the New Testament, but it is God who needs all the glory. "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." (; So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." 1 Cor. 3: 7. "I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to haw been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the \"Cry chiefest apostles, though I be nothing." 2 Cor. 12: 11. It is a good thing that we keep in sight of ourselves. Paul never lost sight of himself. He saw himself "not an:rthing" and to be "nothing," even though he did see that God had used him to as great a degree as he had any of the apostles. His own testimony to the Galatians was: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I liw: yet not I, Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh [body] I live by the faith of the S.on of God, who loyt'd me and gave himself for me." Gal. ~: 20. Paul was crucified. The "old man" was dead. Chri'lt lived in him. "For me to live is Christ." If Christ lives in us, that is enough. We do not and can not liYe ourselves. It is a fact peculiar to this faith that Christ and the "old man" never liTe together in the same personage. . It is a sad, but a true story, that when preachers get to placing estimation upon themselves, and their success upon their natural abilitites, they lose the grace of God. It does not matter if we hav~ been used of God in planting churches in every direction, we are "not anything;" If we have been used of God in watering and if he now continues in this grace with tutes for them, on the authority of one and they now join protestant, papist, and churches, we are "nothing."
