D [Christian Life Is I Not Life of Fear ‘‘There is therefore, now no condemnation to them whicn are in Christ Jesus, who walk not fif | ter the flesh but aft' r the spirit. “For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus bath mace me free from the laws of sin and death.”- -Remans viii 1-2. Please read the whole chapter. Now let us consider for a time bow pleasant how calm, must be the I'fe of one who has this spi r ii of God abiding within him .as a divine Lader: yea the lifi of one whose conscience bears witness with him that lie is doing right in all he does. A child of G 'd hath no fear of the nuii'shmeni of the wicked; for God is his father and Jesus C' rist who is to jndg' 4 sh e world is his brother. He shall therefore in herit life ev. Hasting and a home in Heaven. He that I ath the Spirit of God iin him hath no Gar of death be- voud the pain which all must suf fer at the time when the soul must depart from this earthly body. The great, dread of future pun ishment has not caused him any uneasiness. ■' To him there is no need of prep aration tor death. Living right in the sight of God is bis everlasting theme, and his consciousness of having done this puts all fear out of bis mind. The matter of preparation for death is a great stumbling block in the way of religion. Many peo ple preach and pray and weary I over this great mistake. There is !no need to prepare to die. You : cannot get reaX tl'ough 'The thing to do is to get ready ready to live right. Get the bless ing of the Holy Spirit in you and Hve a pure and holy life and God will piepare and appoint the •he time and way in which yon shall die and that at bis own good pleasure, and you will not be able to better the arrangement. Now, 1 sympathise with thos ■ who are Uying so hard to get ’•eady tor the Judgement Day. Dear children and brethren don’t let the Judgemmt Day trouble ( you. Jesus Christ will be the, judge and no man I noweth of the) day except the Father, no' even the angels in Heaven knoweth when it shall be. Your life is all you can hive any e.ontiol over, and the Spirit is all that you need. Pray G>d daily for the baptism of the Holy Ghost and he will send His Spirit, which is Hie Ho ly Ghost and He will abide wita thee and lead thee in all the ways of righteousness. Being Pd by this Spirit ye can not err, yourlife will be a happy, holy, perfect cossecrated life such as God want’s you to live and nothing can wrest you from his hand or deprive you of a home in Heaven.
