After the Revival—What? (PASTE THIS IN YOUR BIBLE) No one could possibly be more rejoiced than I of the great meet ing God in His goodness gave to our recent efforts, and desiring that the after effects shall be helpful and pleasing I venture to offer a few suggestions as to what I consider ncccessary after the close of the meeting. The oldest problem of the church is to keep its members revived, and in a shade of readi ness for work. The things of the world persist in so crowd ing into our lives that the most of grow coldly inactive. I sugg- set the following helps tor the Christain life, and as a safe guard against loss of interest and spritual life. First. STUDY THE BIBLE. Set aside at least fifteen minutes each day to read your bible. Your.g converts might begin with the Gospel of John. Let God talk to you fifteen minutes through His word. Talk to God fifteen minutes each day through pray er. Talk for God fifteen minutes each d%y. Second. Watch the crowd you go with. Remember that a changed heart means a changed life. The world will expect you to prove your Christian life. Be sure to associate with God’s people and attend regularly the services of the church of which you are a member. Remember that you can’t neglect the means of grace and be strong no more than one may neglect to take food and be strong physically. The mid-week prayer meeting is especially helpful to Christians. Avoid bad people, bad books bad thoughts. Third. Win some one for Christ. I have been told that in heathen Korea a convert first received on probation and required to win to other souls before being eligible for full ;membership. That would be a good rule in enlightened America tor that is primarily [the task of Christians. No joy can compare to that which comes from having lead a soul to Jesus. '“Do they not live who spend themselves for others, Who rise up early and who late take rest; Who daily toil to aid their poorer brothers Are they not drinking deeply of Ilf’s best?” Fourth. Give to the support of the church. Give not grudg ingly or of necessity, for God joveth a cheerful giver. 1 Cor.9:7. ' Fifth. Do not be discouraged. Remember the devil with all his fiower and cunning is arrayed . against your soul, but remember , .that the eternal God is thy re fuge. Many of God’s most vyronderful saints were once very weak and that all had to begin. y The fires of tempation will only i destroy the false and purity the ; gold there is within you. I Sixtji. Keep your standard high and continually look for sjametbing bigger and better in the Divine Life. Don’t be a v spiritual tramp when resources are at hand to make you a millionare. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and ground ed in love, may be able to com prehend with all saints what is the breath, and length, and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowl edge, that ye might be filled with all the fullnes of God. Now unto him that is able to do ex ceeding abundantly above all what we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us. Arthur J. Moore ST.

LENT, 1916 Dear Parishioners: 1 That this Holy Season may be helpful to you, and' through you to others, and that the cause of Christ’s Religion and His Holy Church may be strengthened in our midst, will you not do what you can to make this the best and most profitable Lent we have ever had? The Lenten Season is for the deepening of the spiritual life. Whatever the means may be, and they may vary with different people, the end of Ft all should he that you, and I, and all of us, shall find ourselves better able to measure up to the ideal that our faith imposes upon us. The spiritual life should be to us a greater reality, and all the inex pressible, indefinable things of the spirit should become as real to us as the things we see and touch. To accomplish this end, let us give up our theatre-going, par ties, and all such social gather ings as may detract from the proper observance of the Peni tential Season, that the Church be not blamed.” Let us abstain from luxuries in dress and food and personal pleasures that hin der us from self-mastery. Let us examine qurselyes ^nd draw dose ter (Sod •find Ask fervently and earnestly for His help and guidance, in putting away from us our secret faults and open sins. Let us read some part of God’s Holy Word each day and ‘‘enter into our closet and pray to Him secretly.” And let us with a glad heart enter into the public worship in the Church as often as we can. Especially let us not fail to receive the Blessed Sacrament, and. By the power and inspiration of the Holy Com munion, enter into the life of joyful service to God and man, which is the chief end of our being. I ask tt at you try to keep this Lent as the Church has lov ingly provided, and that you regularly, day by day, put aside the money value of all your self- denials during Lent, and at Eas ter, out of a glad and thankful heart, let us each make a special thank offering to God for His goodness and mercy to us. I prav for God’s richest bless ings upon you and ask your pray ers for the Church and for your minister. Your Friend and Vicar, W. B.

Why not buy your farm instead of renting'.’ We allow you ten v pay for it. The difference between buying and renting is this: To iijj say that you buy a farm unimpioved for one thousand dollars, you iiujiroJ farm the first year with your own means sufficiently to occupy a n ,( * it. You pay for the farm as follows: You give ten notes of One Hundred! lars each with interest at 8 percent, from tlie date of the purchase. y 0 “ one note each year With the interest only on the note you pay. y ou ments will be as follows: At end of first year $108.00; Second year ?iJ Third year $124.00; Fourth year $182.00; Fifth year $140.00; Sixth year Seventh year $156.00; Eighth year $164.00; Ninth year $J72.0O; Tenthl $180.00; Total $1440.00. ' If you should rent a like farm instead of buying you would pay nual rent ot $180.00. And in ten years tlie principal sum of _ ... The interest on your first rental payment would be $10.40 per annum for nine years amounting to - - For second rental payment interest for eight years For third rental payment interest for sev en years. For fourth year rental payment interest for six years For fifth year rental payment interest for five years For sixth year rental payment interest for four years For seventh year rental payment interest for three years For eighth year rental payment interest for two years !j For ninth year rental payment interest for one The total amount paid by you in ten years principal and interest beingjp Three hundred and twenty-eight more for rent than you would pay f or j purchase of tlie farm. And the result al the end of ten years would l )c you bought the farm it would be paid for in full with $1440.00 and you own it with ail the improvement you put on it. But if you rented it insi buying it you at the end of ten years would have paid out $1768.00 in rent] you would own nothing. The above figures seem to be indisputable.
