The Revival We Need.
From Church Tidings.
“My s< ul cleaveth to the dust.
Quicken thou me according to thy
word.” “1 am afflicted very much.
Quicken me, O Lord, according to
thy word.”—Ps. 119: 25.
"Plead my cause, and deliver me.
Quicken me according to thy word.”
—P«. 119: 154.
The Scriptures give us three
things:
1. The meaning of a True Revival.
2. Our need of a Revival.
3. How to get it.
A. "My Soul Cleaveth to the
dust.” Dust is the symbol for earth
ly mindedness as opposed to heaven
ly mindedness. Dust clings to
drooping or dead things. The sick
Eagle wallows in the dust; the Eagle
full of life soars above the dust.
Professing Christians immersed in
worldiness ought to pray like David
—“Quicken thou me according to
thy word.” This is a revival that
brings obedience. “This is the love
of God, that we keep his command
ments.”
B. “I am afflicted very much;
quicken me O Lord according to thy
word.” There are Christians stag
gering under heavy burdens. David
does not ask for lessening of the bur
den but more life to carry it. Men
despair while God is preparing them
for greatest blessings.
A man in California seeking gold
became disheartened. He shot his
wife and child, then killed himself.
His friends pulled up his drill where
he had left it to find on its point the
richest kind of ore. Had he lived
one day longer he would have been
a rich man. Let us look to God for
reviving grace to bear our burdens.
C. “Plead my cause and deliver
me.” Bondage is a terrible thing
and freedom comes by a true revi
val. The habit of doing nothing ag
gressive for God and His Church.
Neglecting what we know is right.
There are bonds of self interest, of
Society, of the man fearing and man
pleasing Spirit. Oh for deliverance
from the jelly fish, wax-ball religion
and give that which makes us like
Jesus Christ.
HOW TO GET SUCH A REVIVAL.
Pray for it. The prayer must be
personal. “Quicken ME”. It is
scriptural to pray for the pastor, the
Church and all the world, but it is
better to begin by praying for one’s
self “Quicken Me.” Our Lord does
not quicken the crowd. The flame
at Pentecost sat not upon the crowd
but, “upon each of them.”
Now preacher, brother, sister, let
us have a revival according to God’s
word. Begin with your own heart
and when that is altogether right,
others will take fire.
Drones Among Bees
From Church Tidings.
The writer is not in sympathy
with the ethics of the Bee-gum. to
leave al] the drones to perish.
St. Paul, however, expresses a de
gree of sympathy with the Bee-law
when he said, “he that will not work
shall not eat.” Our heavenly Father
saw best to decree that “Man '9|iall
eat bread by the sweat of his brow.”
•CHRIST’S KINGDOM.
The application of the same irre
versible law must be the rule of
every true Christian. “Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you,
that ye bear much fruit,” the Mas
ter says.
The man with one talent, refusing
this call to service, hears the words
from the tender lips of Jesus, “bind
him hand and foot and cast him in
to outer darkness.”
Had our Savior come from heaven
and gone direct to the Cross, while
His precious death and blood were
indispensable to save from Sin, yet
without this self sacrificing work for
others all of His life, the .world
would not have been influenced by
Him.
SAVED TO SAVE.
Take Paul’s conversion which is a
type of aii conversions.
“To this end have I appeared unto |
thee to make thee a witness.”
Paul was saved to save others and |
what was true of him is equally true
of all who are brought to Christ to
day
No soul is converted only and
chiefly for itself, but that others
may be saved by it.
That this truth be pondered and
applied is as important as the worth
of the soul.

THE KALEIDOSCOPj
1
From Church Tidings. \
Heretofore this column has i
called the Ram’s Horn. Some
thought that it was short iteilt
taken from the publication of that
name. This is a mistake. These
words are written by a member of
the church and in the future the
name of this column shall be known
as the Kaleidoscope.
What is a Kaleidoscope? Says
Webster, “It is an optical instru
ment which by an arrangem mt of
mirrors causes objects viewed
through it to appear in a variety of
symmttrical forms and beautiful
colors and patterns.” Now we have
it. We want to see the beautiful
in life and character and as we turn
the mirrors from week to week, help
God’s creatures to be better men
and women. an( j P -
We do not laugh enough - Christ
was an optimist. The j rigfaced,
never smiling Christian has no place
in the church. Man is the only
animal that laughs. Yet some are
trying to go* downward by never
smiling. The following lines en
titled “Let Us Smile” expresses the
idea clearly and beautifully:
The thing that goes the farthest to
ward making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the
most is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubles from a heart
that loves its fellow men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It’s full of worth and goodness, too,
with manly kindness bent —
It’s worth a million dollars and
doesn’t cost a cent.
It had been raining nearly a week.
The earth was drenched and the
mud was deep. Friday night it had
leared off and on Saturday morn
ing the sun rose with a brightness to
be noticed amj appreciated. The
raindrops on the trees and every
where sparkled like diamonds in the
morning ray. The sky was as clear
and blue as if the angels had just
washed it that morning. I met a
friend and he was looking down as
he trudged along. I greeted him and
said, “It’s fair above this morning.”
Said he in reply, “Yes, but very
few of us are traveling that way.”
How my heart fell! Here was the
creation, a man, groveling along in
the mud and dirt and could not see
the beauty of God’s blessed sunshine
and appreciate His goodness to us.
Lift your eyes and behold the beau
tiful in life and nature and keep
your eye on the goal that lies beyond
with God.

A Problem in Division.
From Church Tidings.
We remember feelingly our trials
with the subject of division in arith
metic. It was a long time before
we learned to divide, where the first
figure of the dividend was not ex
actly divisible by the division, be
fore we learned to say in dividing
160 by 8, that 8 into 1 will not go,
but that 8 into 16 will go twice.
We have struck another problems
of division since then, and have al
ways found that it was wise to take
as much of your dividend as was
necessary to contain the divisor.
It seems to be a problem some
times to get the young people to
learn anything about the Bible.
The answer is not always satisfac
tory to the conscientious teacher or
any one else who realizes the im
portance of a knowledge of the Book
of Books. The complaint is often
heard that the children of this day
know nothing of the Bible. Why
is this? Could it be that we are
trying to use the Sunday School
hour alone, once a week, and then
expect the child to be well versed in
the Scriptures? If we are, even
though the majority of the teachers
are conscientious and hard working,
we are expecting too much of them.
You cannot divide the short Sunday
morning recitation period by the
knowledge that every person of or
dinary education, should have of
the Bible, and get a satisfactory
answer. But if to that Sunday
School hour you add the co-operar
tion of parents, in having their
children study the at Bible home,and
of helping them and requiring them
to study the Sunday School, at least
as much as they do their other
lessons, you will have a sum for a
dividend that will come much
nearer yielding an answer in the
matter, that neither the child nor
parent 'would in aft4t years have
occasion to be ashemed of.
ted T&ings to Eat
will hold no joys for you if you have indi
gestion or any STOMACH, Ll’ ER or KIDNEY
trouble. You need not pay big doctor’s bills,
but if you suffer from any of these ailments
just step into your nearest druggist and get
a 50 cent bottle of BARKS, the great
household remedy, the finest tonic and
blood purifier known. If your system is
run down and you want to regain your
youthful energy. SEVEN BARKS will accom
plish it, make your food digest and give
you new life. Money refunded if dissatis
fied. Try it and enjoy your meals. Addi ess
