BeJ^ureYou Are Right.
A very good rule to adopt in the
school room, at home and all
through life. Be sure you thor¬
oughly understand a thing before
you talk about it. If you keep si¬
lent people will generally give you
credit for knowing more than you
do, whereas one foolish utterance
will often give you an undeserved
reputation.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions,
only don’t ask foolish ones.

“Good Wil! to All Men.”
Communicated.
A careful study of the divinely
ordained order of things is some-
times of great value, and the lack of
such study and understanding leads
to many mistakes in religious mat¬
ters and otherwise. “Must I be in
order to do or shall I do in order
that I may be”? This question
requires serious thought if we
would reach a live solution. Espe¬
cially so since we know that our
characters are so much modified
by the good or evil that we do.
In my last article I tried to show
that the life is only the outgrowth
of the heart ; or in other words that
we must be before we can do. Yet
many seem to regret this proposi¬
tion, in the moral and ‘religious
sphere, at least. Let. us see. In
the physical world being precedes
doing. The child must be a child
before it cries or walks or talks.
It is the life principle in the seed
that causes it to throw out roots and
send up a stalk. The fruit tree
must be a fruit tree before it can
bloom and bear a crop of fruit. It
is time both in the animal and veg¬
etable world that things do not per¬
form a series of the functions of life
in order to live, but possessing life
and existence first, they exhibit
these activities.
Is this principle one of the laws
of nature applying in the spiritual
realm as well as in the natural?
Is it true that we must be before
we can do, and that by doing we
can not bring ourselves into being?
Is this taught in God’s word and
does human experiencen also cofine
it? Undoubtedly so. It is true
that at birth we are endowed with
spritual faculties and a spiritual na¬
ture. Blit we are distinctly and
repeatedly taught in the Scriptures
that this nature is depraved. That
while originally created in God’s
image, yet the fall brought all man¬
kind into an estate of sin and
misery. That we are by nature the
children of wrath. That we are as
the apostle says, dead in trespasses
and in sin. That,as Jesus taught
Nicodemus, except a man be born
again, he cannot see the Kingdom
of God. Here we are taught
necessity of the implantation of a
new life principle. Those who
receive this new nature are born
not of blood, nor ot the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God. Having been born again,
not of corruptible seed, but of in¬
corruptible, by the word of God, as
Peter tells us. Paul, also says
that in Christ Jesus, neither cir-
cumcision availetl. anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.
All these passage emphasize the
need of a change of nature, or of
the new birth before we can be
children of God. The question
arises, can I by my works bring
about this change of heart? No.
Can the dead body cause itself
lne? In Ezekiel s vision it re-
quired the breath or Spirit to
breathe upon the slain before they
stood up, a great and living army,
Death cannot convert itself into
life. But the power ot the living

This signature is on every box of the genuine
Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets
the remedy that cure* a cold In on* day
coming in contact with the dead
transforms it into life. The works
of a soul dead in sin are dead works
and have no power to make alive.
Hence their fertility as a ground
upon which to rest one’s hopes of
salvation. First make the tree
good and good fruit will be the
natural consequence.
Just at this point a fatal mistake
is often made. Over looking the
necessity of the new birth, and
trusting that there is intrinsic merit
in a sinner’s works, men try to
gain God’s favor by doing this or
that good things. Instead of go¬
ing directly to Him fora new heart,
a new nature, they try to make
themselves alive by their own vain
endeavors. As well for a dead
stone to try to change itself into
the living tree.
The preceding applies especially
to thejbeginning of the spritual life.
That life having been once implant¬
ed, the new nature once given, its
development is greatly promoted
or retarded by our own actions or
inactions. On this principle are
founded such commands as grow in
grace and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; add
tQ y Gur faith virtue etc., be not con-
formed to this world, a*id many
other8- 0ur facuU j e ^ of body,

develop by judicious exercise ; and
without proper exercise they perish
away or become useless. The
musC | e G f the blacksmith’s arm

wble the unused arm even though
strong . at first grows weak and
helpless. So God has ordained that

should employ our faculties of
m ,; nd and body in His service, and
so g° on irorn strength to strengh

well developed Christian manhood,

On Friday night, Prof. Bow¬

spelling match, using the old blue
back speller. Prof. Bowman ad¬
dressed the citizens, giying them

conduct the match, after which the
cornet band gave us some good
music. Col. Edwards and Col.
Bowden w r ere chosen as judges.

alone but finally she had to come
down and the Professor brought
ten more, our torces then began to
