FAILURE and

Nothing mocks
us so much as the
S sense of our own
R failure. We begin
the day with great
§ 3| hopes, high ideal
{se ]| and ity pur
g poses, but when
¢ | th> day dies out
L e | of the sky we cou
Ge | fess to ourselves
@ @ | now great has
%.V | been our fature.
s, HGE This Is -especially
lS| true of Christians
%#}k 2| who Dbegin the
e . #9| day with a sin
. Cere purpose to
live as Christ would have'them live,
but who come to the close of the day
confessing how far short they have
come of being:what Christ wanted
them to be. : ;
And the criticism of the world, and
the curse of the church is, that in
these of us who have named the name
of Christ practice comes so far sbort
of confession,- and that many -of us
who make pious professions by the
very negligence of our living crucify
the Son of God airesh and put him to’
an open shame. Mr. Drummond spoke’
truthfully when he said that what the
church needs is not more ot us, but
a better brand of us. 3 4
There is a better way to live. There
is a Christian life possible to each
one of us which is higher and holier
apd more victorious than any experi
ence we have had hitherto. The per
fection” of Christian character is the
perfection of faith.in Jesus Christ—
the faith that takes him to be all and
in all. Just as by a simpie' act 'of
faith we received the gift of salva
tiom from the crucitied Christ we are
to receive from the risen Christ the
grace which we need to live a con
sisterit Christian life.
# May we not explain our failure to
become“what we hoped to be, and.
what Christ wants us to be, bevause
we do not understand the difference
between the. appreciation of Christ
and the -appropriation of Christ? The
Christian church does not lack in ap
preciation sermons,’ prayers, hymnsf
and testimonies swelling the praise ot‘
Jesus; but lack of appropriation is
shown' il indifference to the claims,orf i
Christ ahd“:the demands ot a. holy
life, in spiritual unrest when Christ
has said, “Peace,l leave with you,"l
and in frequent failure at’the same
point in my life. These are evidences
of our neglect to take Christ as the
complement of our daily need, of our
neglect to clothe' ourselves with
Christ, of our lack of appropriation., l
- As one read the -New. ‘l‘estament‘|
three things are made clear: 1
1. God's purpose, which is to malg,e‘
us like Jesus Christ, although he uses
various methods by which this end xs]
attained. S'ometin;es the means used;
do not seem pleasant to us, but whe_n‘i
we realize his high purpose, we ‘snalfil
be satistied. :{n ‘
{l. Christ's’ promise. ' As we begin
to understand God’s purpose we ask |
‘who is sufiicient for these things;, butl
in the presence of every high call of
God, of every holy purpose; of every |
unattained ideal, Christ stands and
says, “My grace is sufficient tor you.”
And we may count him faithful who
promised. - >
ALCOHOL!C DRINK IS BARRED
Canada Strongly Prohibits Use of
Spirituous Liquors in Any Form—
Good Substitute Provided.
Canada has taken a strong stand
officially against intemperance in con
fiection with her new naval service,
by strictly prohibiting the use of al
cohol, in any form or shape as a bever
age, on board the cruisers and gun
boats of her navy. The rules forbid
ding, such indulgence are as strict as
language can-make them.
The commanders of- all British men
of-war in commission have instruc
tions .that:.not a drop of alcoholic
liquor, no matter whether spirits,
winé, or malt product, is to be allowed
among officers and men in action. In
order to slake thirst, supplies of oat
meal water, considered as a most ex:
cellent and healthful drink, is arranged
for drinking purposes all over the
ghiys. ; s 2
Similar rules-are in force in the
JPapanese navy, while in"the British
‘pavy, the intemperance formerly
|IL A adequate power. When we
accept ‘Christ by faitn the ho!y??mg?
comes into us to perfect the purpose
of God and to make the promise of
Christ actual in our Christian experi
| ence. It is the realization of the pur
pose, the faith im :Christ’s promise;
and surrénder to the spirit that. con
stitute the elements of that faith
which is. the perfection of Christian
character. So our lack ‘of deeper
| Christian experience, of power in
prayer,.and of usefulness In service,
does not. consist in the smallness of
God’s purpose nor the weakness of
Christ’s promise, nor the lack of an
adequate power—our fallure sis. be
cause we do not appropriate all of
God there is for us in Christ Jesus.
We are reminded of Martin Luther,
who said' that the entire sécret of the
Christian lifte lies in the use of the
possessive pronouns; that it is a great
thing to know that Jesus is a Savior,
but a far greater thing to know that.
he is my Savior. In fact, the entire
philosophy of the New Testament
with relation to the Christian is that
he shall put off the old man and
‘ shall put on the new.
What a blessing would come to the
Christian church and to the world
if Christians not only fully appreciat
ed Christ, but completely appropriated
~him. It would ‘effect a transforma
tion in character and conduct, and
career,~ and in many of us it would
make the impossible possible. Christ
stands just opposite our lives and
says, “What wilt thou that .I sheuld
do unto ‘thee?” and when he knows
the .degires which possess us and
} which struggle for expression he tur
ther says, “Bellevest thou that I am
‘ able to do this?” and our life growth
and fruitfulness are dependent upon
our faith in him.
Therefore, just .as by faith 1 ask
:Christ‘to be my ‘savior let me now
take him for my need of" humility,
purity, strength, wisdom, sanctifica
tion, righteousness, redemption—" All
I need in thee to find.”
“Grace there Is, my every debt to pay;
'Blood to wash my every sin away; -
Power to keep me day by day; ' .
| For me, for me.” " '’ . =
~ Take -Christ, appropriate him, en
ter upon the full possession and ap
' propriation .of your great inheritance
in Christ Jesus. It Is the 'secret of a
happy, victorious, Christ-like life.
Meaning of Religion,
It is a common observation of those
who speak lightly of religion that all
the good lessons and doctrines of
Christianity were in vogue before
Christ. This suggestion was made to
Wendell Phillips once, when he an
swered: “From Confucius to Cicero
there is ‘light enough; but no heat.”
The intellectual lacking the spiritual,
and religion is a combination of both.
People who mistake theology for re
ligion might as well fall back on
Grecian or Persian philosophy. Men
easily disagree on principles, which
are usually intellectual, but they are
apt to agree upon duties which belong
to the ‘heart. Men will dispute at
length over a point in some creed,
but let”a blind beggar come along,
and theéy will stop discussing and.
unite in helping the beggar. _ . :
More and more men are leaving their
discussions upon doctrine and agree
ing upbn this proposition—that’ the
most acceptable worship of God is the
help one gives to a brother.—Ohio
State Journal.
Pecple “that a little honest praise

Truthfulness and Sincerity. ',
A mjn’s first duty to himself is to
be' singere—~‘“to mean what he says,
to say’ what he means.” Insincerity
undernijnes every.other virtue. Its
inward- reaction is altogether evil.
Truthfulness -is not .merely speaking
the truth; it is more than that.
Truthfulness is-simplicity “in charac
ter and sincerity in motive.—Rev. Dr.
Thomas Van Ness, Unitarian, Boston.
now punished with such great severity
as tc practically put a stop to all
drinking amongst officers, and flag
rant offenses among the men of the
service.
The People. s
No large masses of people have
ever been able to govern themselves.
Even our American government is not
a government by the peo'ple, although
it is said to be such. It i 8 a govern
ment carried on by a few officials who
are supposed to be chosen by the peo
ple from among a small number of
persons who are themselves presented
to the voters by a few politicians.—
Rev. Rich. Scannell, Roman Catholic,

the Lord to-use them, who ought to

Quite the Contrary.
Being anxious as to his prospects in
one of the early attempts to enter par
liament, Herbert Samuel consulted his
agent, who said the chances were not
rosy, because he was a “carpetbagger.”
Mr. Samuel thereupon promised to
live in the division if he were success
ful, and bills were immediately posted
that “if Herbert Samuel is returned
next Tuesday he will come. to live
here.”
Some of the other side, however,
posted one of these bills on a pigsty.
Mr. Samuel did not win the election.
