Robert Ingersoll, a man who gained a · great reputation for his infidelity, said that, if Christianity were as good a thing as the Bible ,and Christians said · it was, then if he had had the 'making of it, he would have made it catching. Well, thank God, it is catching, .. so to speak. This poor infidel, sorry to say, nevel" caught it. On€ reason why .he never caught it, is that . he probably never ~ame in contact ., withi;he real thing. He saw the lives :of p,roressors':,}}f Christianity, but there was nothing in them to win him to Ohrist. All that he saw drove him furth'Or into his infidelity. Oh, how careful. we should live !Hypocrites :will have more than their own souls to answer for in eternity. If \ve live a true Christian life, some one will catch the influence. Every true Christian will win other to Christ. If you are not winning souls to Ohrist, you are not living as close to Ohrist , as you should. Y ~m may not \yin lllany in these evil days, but you can win a few. J eSlis said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father 'which is in heaven." If none are made to glorify God through seeing your light, it h:; shining entirely too dimly. How bright is your light~ Does it so shine that some at -least glorify Goel because of its light I? . 'rhe apostle says that husbands may be won . by the COllduet of the wives. This may not be al vvays the case, but the general· effect of Christian living is to win souls to Christ. As loilg as Ohrist leaves his church here in this world, there will be some on€ to win to Gc'll. An 1, 0 my brother, let me speak it solemnly and impressively, you may. be the one to do the winning. As 'long as 'we are in the 'world, J€SUS has something for uS to do. Some will say to us, "There is not anything which we cando." If there weren<?t, Jesus would take you to heavGli, where you could probably do something. '1'he · fact of your being here is proof that th'Oreis something for you to do, and something that you can do. You can let shine a pure, holy life. o. E. O. ••• LOOKING AT THIN~S UNSEEN, BY ALioE A. ANDERSON. vvl1ile meditating on this subject I felt Lnpressed . to write a little about what looking at unseen· things • will · do for a Christian . Paul . said, "If in this life . only we have hope in Christ, we are ' of all men most miserable." 1 001'. 15: 19. While the Christian's pathway is sometimes strewn with many thorns and roses, ' "yet wisdom's ways "are ways of pleasantness, . and all h'Or paths are peace." Prov.3 : 17. While the Christian has much to bear in this life be~ causeo! being "not of this world" but chosen out of the world, yet looking at things unseen will cause burdens to seem lighter, . the clouds <more. swiftly to pass away, and the sun to shine ;A:l.l.l .. the ;more brightly~ While looking at tIlings unseen, our minds are not easily drawn off on ' the things of this world. But, having our affections set on things above, \v€ will not heed the .voice of the tempter when he tries to aliure us through any of his cunning devices. Looking at things UllS,een not only enables us to' overcome the trials and temptations of this life, but causes us to -"count it all'joy," knovving that it "worketh for us a fur more exceeding and eternal 'weight of glory. " It not only enables us to count it all joy when we fall into · temptations, but also enables us to keep ourselves" unspotted from the world.", Looking at things unseen will enable us to . endure the privutioJ1s of life anc1 to really enjoy them \vhen we know it will work out to the glory of the · Lord, whom we are trying to please. We can forget the things ""hich are behind and press forvv"ard to· gain the priz8- the crown of life which awaits all the faithful. • •• PERFECT CONSECRATION • 'robe wholly consecrated to God is toabanc1on everything to his perfect ·will. . If ,\ve suffer because of the loss of something, it is because that thing was not · wholly consecrated to God. 'l'his . perfect abandonmcntto God's will is a child-like repose to him. It is not indifference; .it is a living' sacrifice. Your very .dearest friend, your most loved companion, ll1ustbe entirely given up to God. Their companioll.M ship :is enjoyed only in the will of God. You cannot remain in their presence with enjoy:mer; tt beyond what God wills ;anc1, whenever he says for you to part with them, you do it with a willing heart. . W€ say the kingdom of God is within US~ 'Vherev~r God's kingdom is, there God's will is done. You will whatever God wills,wheu . his ... kingdom is within you. This is heaven. Nothing so calms tl}e soul · and brings such sweet quiet rest as this p-erfect abandonment to Goel's: . . sovereign · pleasure. Perfect trust is the result ' of complete aban" donment to God, which results in calmness and . stillness of soul. Oh, how few souls get quie~ enough to know that God is talking to them 1 , Those who lack in consecration fear to getguiet, lest they should hear God telling. them some .. thing they do not want to do. He who. would h€ar t~e voice of God must listenIor nothing else. · O. E.O, .
