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. Repair Shop. I have purchased the Blacksmith Shop at Oakwood.' Have a first class smith, Mr. Fricks.

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 LYMAN BROWN, 68 Murray St., New York, N.Y.
