And the Wise Way
of Sa\ ing Money
THERE ARK TWO WAYS of saveing your money—the
foolish way and the wise way. The foolish way is to put it
where fire, theft or other calamity can take it from you
in a second. The wise way is to put it in a bank of good
standing like ours, where it is taken care of in fire and burg
lar proof vaults. Follow the example of the best business
men and funnel’s in this district—start an account here at
once—it is also the straightest road to success and wealth.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 9.
ABSTINENCE FOR OTHERS’ BAKE.
(World’* Temperance Bunday.)
I.KSSON TEXT—Rom. 14:7-21.
GOLDEN TEXT—"it la not good to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any
thing whereby thy brother stumbleth."
Rom. 14:21.
Paul was in Corinth, a city of lux
ury, learning and licentiousness when
he wrote thta letter to the believer# la
Rome, a letter of profound logic and
ethlca an well as a profound etudx In
psychology and philosophy.
I. None of us llveth to himself,"
vv. 7-11. Paul begins this chapter by
giving a caution ae to doubtful dispu
tations, "Judgments upon thoughts,"
whether It be in the matter of eating
herbs or meats, or In the observance
of sot days. Who are we but fellow
servants (v. 4) of Qod? About auch
things as habits and observance of
days we must each be assured in our
own mlnde, (v. 5), but while that Is
true yet, "none llveth to himself”
(v. 7), for "we are the Lord's" (v. 8).
He is the universal Lord, both of the
living and the dead, (v. 9). What folly,
therefore, for any believer to set him
self up In Judgment upon his brother.
Four Things Suggested.
11. "Give an account to God,” vv.
12-18. Verse 12 suggests four things:
(1) A universal summons, "each one
of us,” great and small, obscure or fa
mous, each one must appear, non*
overlooked, none excluded, none ex
cused. (2) A particular summons,
“each one of us,” not en masse, but
as separate units. (8> A purposeful
summons, "to give account,” not of
others but each of htmaelf. It will not
be "blind Justice" that shall await us
there, but a holy God, on* who knows
all, sees all, every thought and Imagi
nation of the human heart (Gen. 6:6)
and whose judgment will be righteous.
(4) A rightful summons, because of Its
source, "before God.” and shall not the
Judge of the whole earth do right?
No excuse because of the failure of
others will avail, no subterfuge be ac
ceptable, "strict Justice” will condemn.
Man-made laws and ordinances as to
what we eat or what days we may ob
serve will then be revealed In the
white light of the God whose name Is
love. In the light of such a prospect
how pertinent therefore that we turn
(v. 13), from judging others and look
well to our own conduct, lest that con
duct become a rock of stumbling to
other and weaker brethren.
Another Law.
111. "Follow after things which make
for peace,” vv. 19-23. To follow that
which shall edify is to exercise the
"law of liberty.” James In his epistle
(1:26, 1:12) tells us to look Into this
law and to continue therein for by it
we shall be Judged, yet there Is still
another law, "the royal law” (2:8,
Matt. 22:36-40), the fulfilling of which
will settle every question of man’s re
lation to man. We should so use our
liberty that It be not evil spoken of
or become a rock of stumbling to any.
Whether or not tho kingdom of Qod
bo in us, or we in the kingdom, de
pends not upon the scrupulous observ
ance of ordinances either as to eat
ing, or the observance of days, but
rather in the manifest righteousness of
our lives and In having peace In our
hearts, ch. 15:13, being filled with "Joy
in the Holy Spirit’’ v. 17. Therefore,
If to eat meat shall cause my brother
to stumble or to be made weak (v. 21)
”1 will eat no flesh for overmore,’’
I. Cor. 8:13.
All of this leads up to the true prin
ciple of total abstinence as revealed
In verse 21, "It Is good not to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do
anything whereby thy brother stum
bleth or Is offended.” This doe# not
alone apply to the Great American
Juggernaut, the commercialised liquor
traffic, which, according to the United
States Supreme court, has no legal
ground upon which to stand. When
the members of the church of God
In this "land of liberty” shall each
be governed by this principle It will
not be long before the liquor problem
any many other questions that are
troubling us will be settled. The real
question will not be “Is It wrong?”
but rather, "How will it affect my
brother?” All meats are clean, we
know’ that. Acts 10:16, but we also
know that many cannot eat, cannot
participate in our acts, with a clear
conscience because in so taking part
there comes before the mind of the
weaker brother the evil asaoclatlons
and practices which so frequently ac
company such acts or such eating.
Our Indulgence, no matter how inno
cent and entirely harmless tt may be
to us, is therefore not to be thought
of. Thie settles the drink question,
the tobacco habit, dancing, card play
ing, theater going, and all "question
able amusements.”
For once teach a temperance lesson
not on the ground of the harrowing
effects of this awful traffic, but try to
show that Intemperance Is largely the
result of selfishness. Show how less
selfishness in our social relations
would help to keep men away from
the saloon. Less selfishness In money
would keep us from accepting bloody
tax money. Less selfishness on the
part of churches by activities during
the week would keep children and
young people from growing familiar
with and finally embracing the mon
ster vice. Many ancient authorities

TEXT—Search ms. O God. end know

Psalm l 2S-24.
There ts a way

w* go on In It.
and more blessed
at th* end—lt is
the way everlast
ing. Here the
Psalmist prays
that he may be

and that such
heart • searching
will take place
that he may not
miss that way.
The Christian
GGGGGG
will pray this prayer, should pray It
dally; for, conscious of his fellowship
with God. he would have It proven
and would have taken from him every
thing hindering such fellowship. But
the sinner will pray this prayer, h#
must pray It. In his case, conscious
ness of God as revealed here leads to
terror because of sin and desire for
forgiveness, acceptance and cleansing.
The Christian aee# how far short he
Is of the glory of God and his cry is
that nothing may Interfere with com
plete conformity, and for this he
needs faith, justifying and sanctifying
In addition, the sinner needs saving
faith before he finds his feet In the
first steps of the way everlasting.
Note the steps by which tbs sinner
comes to this cry - Search me.
Divine Omniscience
God knows me. and knows all about
me (vs. 16). Every movement, every
thought, every word, every way—all
known to the God with whom 1 have
to do. Hs knows me thoroughly, and
as If he examined me minutely.
"He knows all men. he knows all men
thoroughly, he knows all men con
stantly.” This solemn truth may
awaken wonder and admiration in the
Christian, It may be a great comfort
to him and an assurance of guidance
and well-being; but to the sinner It Is
a solemn warning ands call to r*
pentanes and faith. The truth of this
part of the Psalm has a beautiful
parallel In the epistle to the Romans:
"For of him, and through him, and to
him are all things." God knows my
down-sitting and roy uprising, hs com
passes my path, b* has beast ms be
hind and before, he is acquainted with
all my ways. What can a sinner do
In the presence of such a God but to
say: Search me, .. . try me .. . lead
me? And God will answer his cry.
There emerges another reason for
the sinner's cry: he cannot get away
from this God (vs. 7-12). God Is every
where, not a mere power ruling In
might and by laws really outside him
self, but a personality distinct, sepa
rate, superior, and seeing all I do.
Thou God sees I me." This every
whereneas of God makes It a dreadful,
an awful, thing to sin. "Whither shall
1 go from thy spirit? or whither shall
I flee from thy presence? Up Into
heaven ... In hell ... the uttermost
parts of th# sea . . . darkness shall
cover me ... the darkness and the
light are both alike to th**.” What
can 1 hide from him. or where can I
sin that hs will not s*s me? Yes.
but this very God who knows all about
us and who sees all w* do, who
dwells In the uttermost parts of the
earth also can save to th* Uttermost-
Thank God. he still forgives. Search
me . . . try me . . . lead me.
I krow not wh#r III* Inlands lift
Their fronded palms 1n nfr,
1 only know I cannot drift
Beyond His lort and car*.
Once more the Psalmist sets forth
s reason for his cty for searching—
God ts associated to intimately with
his entire life, even before he him
self had any consciousness. "Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet being
Imperfect; and in thy book all my
members were written, which in con
tinuance were fashioned, when as yet
there was none of them.” “I am fear
fully and wonderfully made.” Man is
a creature according to God's design,
living under God's Inspection and by
God's power.
Search me ... try ms .. . lead me
This prayer is natural now. If you
have never made It there la only one
reason—you never have seen God In
his holiness, power and might. When
God searches he may find In you some
way of wickedness —unforsaken sin,
some unyielded room, some unloving
spirit, some selfishness —but If you
really will to have it so, God wrlil lead
you in the way everlasting, a way
that ahlneth more and more unto th#
perfect day. So. couple with this
prayer, that other petition. "Create in
me a clean heart, O God. and renew
a right spirit within me." Let your
vital concern be, la my heart right
with God? for with him that Is the
supreme thing. Put your prayer Into
the words of that heart-song:
Oh. for a heart to praise raj God.
heart from sin nt fras;
A heart that’s sprinkled with Thy blood.
So frealy shed foe mi
A heart In every thought renewed.
And full of love divine.
Perfect and right and pur*, and good,

True as Preaching.
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,”’ that’s
true. The dollar saved and in yourpocket is worth two earned.
More truth. But here’s some more that's true as preaching:
The dollar safely’ deposited in the bank is worth two jingling
in your poeket. Why .’ Because it is safe. You are not liable
to lose it. Also, it is an Incentive toward iuthcr accumulation.
It is safe from the hold-op man, can’t find the hole in your
