Thn onlv class to whom present life means life or I death eternal Is the Church. And by the Church I menu, not church at tendant nor outward professors, but those who have eulend Into n cove nant with (ioil through Christ a ml who have been niiule partakers of the Holy Spirit, lusting of the gnnd Word of'Ood and the powers of the Age to coino. If those hIioiiIiI fall away, the Apostle forewarns is, It would be tin possible to renew Hicin ngnlii unto re pentnnrn. And there will bo no hope for them with tho world, In tho world's trial Day, because they already have enjoyed their share of the merit of Christ's death. When, therefore, I apeak of God nnd the home, I am not having In mind a family composed exclusively of aallits, who dully anil hourly are following their great Redeemer's footsteps lu self denial, In sucrlhYo, In tho "narrow way" which lenila to "glory, honor and Immortality" and association with tho Redeemer III Ilia glorious King dom which Is to bless the world for a thousand years. My thought la that the Bible teaches that there are many people of the world, who nre reverential, kind, gen tle ii nil Just to a very considerable degree, who uro nut saints; who have not presented their bodies living sac rillces to (lod; who uuve not been be gotten of Ills Holy Spirit, who are not. therefore, member of that exclu sive "little flock" to whom It la the Father's good pleiuuro to give the Kingdom -In nliit hulrshlp with their Lord nnd Redeemer and Head. To tills latter cIiihs our Muster evidently referred when He said to Ills footstep followers, "Let your light so shlno before men that they may see your good works nnd glorify your rather which Is In heaven" (Matthew v, Itl). To live righteously, soberly and god ly In (Ills present world to the extent of one's ability Is what everyone should do-no Iob. To live a llfo of tacrlUce-to lay down our live for the brethren, for the truth, In the service of the Lord. Is another matter, which Justice duo not requlro and which the Illhle nowhere enjoins upou mankind. It Is pointed out as a prfrliw fo those who desire It, and gbiry, honor and Im mortality on tho spirit plane Is the re ward attached to this Invitation or High Calling. It la the selevtlon of this hss Inl clnss of consecrated ones that la the particular order of the Di vine program at the present time. 8lnt and 8innr InUraatad. Having clearly defined what we do not mean to teach, let me now assert that, nevertheless, every sensible man and woman, saintly or not, must f,H. a deep Interest lu the welfare and moral progress of the hmmiu family, of which he forms a part. All. there fore, should rejoice in every move ment end endeavor working to oven temporary enlightenment, blessing and uplift among-,! mankind.

Juatlee. Iove and Power. The Bible freely fell ua that many feature! of the Divine plun are now bidden In mystery, but the last book of the Bible, which prophetically pic ture the future, aamirea ua that In God'a duo time "The mystery ahall be nnlahed. which fie batb declared to Ills servant, tlie prophets" (Revela tion x. 7). The aatne book aaaurea na that In God'9 due time, when the mys tery !a cleared. "All nations ahall come and worahlp before Thee, for Thy rlgb'eoua ncts have been made mani fest" (Revelation it. 41. We are now living In the time when the "mystery" la ending and the righteous dealings of Ood. from the Scriptural standpoint, may be clearly sen. But theae revelutlons nre not meant tor the world In general now, but merely for "the elect." the "sanctified In Cbrlat Jexua." "To you It la given to know the mysteries.-" to outsiders these things are sicken In parable and dark snylng (Matthew xlll. 11, 13). But not until the elect ehnll be gl tri fled and the Messianic Kingdom es tabllahed will the "mystery" be mode fully known to the world nnd every knee bow nnd every tongue confess. Hence, only those of a contrite heart may now see. now iiiulerMtnnd, the real character of !od. Ilia renl purposes to ward man. etc. Thus our Lord de clares, "This Is life eternal that they should know Thee, the only true God. and Jesus Christ whom Thou ha at sent" (John ivll. 3i. In a darker day than ours the theory, "to doubt Is to be dimmed." held such a power over many that they dared not use their reason. And tliua a certain reverence fm- !od wus maintained In mnny (mines a reverence, however, which surely would not be as highly appreciated by the Creulor nor have as deep an Influence upon the creature as would a faith moved by love and an Intelligent appreciation of the Di vine character, baaed upon an under standing of the Divine Plan of the Ages. An Inundation of UnbelUf. In our day the shackles of Ignorance and superstition are breaking. Men, women and children are beginning to think for themselves. They no longer believe the fulry tales of other days; the dreadful hobgoblins and night mares of the Dark Ages respecting purgatory anil eternal torture are doubted by all, and by the great mass totally disbelieved. What have they now to attach them to the Almighty, since they have never been taught the love of Ood the lengths and breadths nud heldits and depths pnssliig all hu man understanding? This Is the world's grout need to know Ood as He really Is, a Father, a Friend, a Ood of level And to thus know Him the people need to be taught bow serious ly they wero i(tntight In the past along the lines of hell and purgatory. How could they ever truly love and worship a Ood of Injustice nnd of hate One Inferior to themselves One who know, foreordained and prepared for tholr torturo, before they wero born. They must see that these things, taught by the creeds of the Dark Ages, are wholly at variance wllh the Illhle, else they will never coino back to tho III blo nor bo able to see Its teachings In their trflo light. They must be tnught Unit tho sin nnd death, sorrow nud trouble nil around us are the wage or penalty of father Adam's disobedience. They must learn that God proposes a blessing and uplifting which will be as world wide ns Is the curse. They must learn that the foundation for this work wns effected by the denth of Josus. tho Just for the unjust. They must loam that God la now selecting n saintly clnas to be associates with tho Redeemer In the work of uplifting and blessing Adam and his race; and that each will be held responsible and receive stripes In proportion to his knowledge nnd wilful dlsobedleneo; and thnt the persistently rebellious will bo destroyed "like natural brute beasts," In tho Second Denth. "I Hav Lost My God." Not long since, lu conversation with young lady, she said with great con cern, "1 fear that I Imvo lost my God." As u child of religious parents she had had helpful Influences In her home, but In school she bad come In contact with the general spirit of skepticism, which. Instead of repudlnt Ing the Bible, as did Ingersoll. Pnltie and Voltaire, merely smiles nt any ref erence to a Divine revelation, a faith In God nnd a respect fur Ills will. These teachers are as honest, we lie Hove, ns were' Ingersoll, Pulne and Voltaire; nor enn we deny that they have the same right to their disbelief thut we claim for our belief. Wo can, however, say wllh all sincerity that It Is a great pity thut tho learned men of Christendom are nearly all Infidels, lu the sense of not believing In the Bible as a Divine revelation. Many of them even deny thnt there is a personal Cod nnd uscrlbe every thing ton great Nothing, which they designate Nature-god. Is it surpris ing. In view of tho fact that these touching are being promulgated lu the universities aud colleges nnd theo logical seminaries, in the high schools, and eveu to some exteut In the com mon schools Is It any wonder thst the Using generation Is Rising Its God? If It even be claimed thnt n bad thing la bettor lost than kept, we must dis sent from their course. Wo must claim that the misconception of God can be destroyed ouly by the Introduction to the heart aud mind of the true God, whose glorious attributes of Justice, Wisdom. Love and Power will take nft P1"08 the malevolent mlscoo- "I'uous or toe Dnrk Ages. A.k.n.d Parental R.aponalbillty. It la high time that parents realise ii the true situation It Is almost too lats sow. The seeds of unbelief, already own In the minds of the rising; gen eration, are being watered continually and are growing. All who love their families, all who love mankind In gen eral, sbonld awaken to the fact that a world that has lost Its God must of necessity be an unhappy world. Pla tonic philosophy may for a time serve 1 the purposes of the few, bat surely cannot serve the masses of our race. A godless world will ere long; mean a discontented world, nn unhappy world and, bye and bye, a world of anarchy and strife. This Is what our world wide education is leading to. Few of our race can sti.nd nn education which recognizes no God, no revelation of Him, no responsibility to Him, and no hope of a future life which will be effected by the conduct of the pres ent God In tht Home. We are not pleading for cant and rant We are urging thnt in every home God be recognized to the extent of the opportunities and Influence we enjoy. Parents have a special respon sibility. Every fnther, In particular, as the bend of his family, should rec ognize the Almighty Creator, aud hold Him up to bis fumlly-"God First!" We need not urge upon God's conse crated people the privileges of pray er and the blessed lutlueuce which comes through prayer to the younger members of the family. This Is one way of putting "Ood First" "In all thy wnys acknowledge Mm, or, as Joshua said: "As for me and my bouse, we will serve the Lord." Let ns now step Into your borne and measure things there by the Golden Rule. 'As husbands, how do you treat your wives? As wives, how do you treat your husbands? Can you apply the Golden llulo to your words, to your conduct, to your demands of each other? Or do you act meanly, selfish ly, taking advantage of each other, to tho limit that the other will for bear? Do you deal with your children according to the lines of the Golden Rule? Are you an Ideal parent, ac cording to your own advanced stand ard of what a parent's dirty should be to bis children? Do you remember that you have a responsibility for their training, a re sponsibility so far as your circum stances will permit, for their environ ment nnd hnpplness and education and general preparation for usefulness In life? Or are you Indifferent to their Interests, neglectful of your responsi bilities? Do you recognize that your children have certain rights and that these Increase as they near maturity. or are you forgetful of these, disposed to keep the children under the re straints of childhood, souring their dis positions and making them unhappy, until they resent the injustice and a family qyarrel results? As children, are you thoughtful of your pnrents, their welfare, their wUh es, their happiness, as you would like your children to lie thoughtful of yours? Do you remember the hours and weeks of feebleness and sickness and toll which you cost them In your Infancy, nnd aro you seeking to repay those kindnesses and seeking to make their last days the happiest of their lives? Are you observing the Golden Rulo toward your parents? now Is It In your relationship to your brothers and sisters? Wheu they bor row your things without leave, do you retaliate by borrowing theirs without leave, and thus keep up a continual fret and vexation of spirit In the fam ily? Or do you practice the Golden Rule of Justice nnd do nothing to your brother nnd sister, or tholr beloiiglugs, that you would not wish tbeiu to do to you or your things? "Lovo Worketh No III." All of tho Lord's people nre to love Him nnd the brethren; yen, even their enemies. However, let us now stop short of love uud merely consider whnt the simple justice of the Golden Rule would -Imply lu our conduct How do our dully lives square with this Golden Rule of nbsolute Justice, omitting love entirely? If you are nu employer, do vou treat your employee In harmony with this rule and do unto him as you would have him do unto you if your posi tions were reversed? If you aro an employee, Inquire of yourself, "Do 1 trent my employer and bis business as I would have him trout me and my business, if our relationship were re versed?" Do you treat your butcher, your baker, your grocor, etc., as yoa would like to have them treut you, If your positions were reversed? Are you polite to them and not Inclined to give them unnecessary trouble? Do you pay them promptly? Or if you are the tradesman, do you treat your customers as you would wish to imve them treat you. If conditions were re versed? Do you charge them a rea sonable price only? Do you give them proper weight nnd measure? Do you properly represent your goods to them, a you would have them representeo to you? Are you a good neighbor? Do you see to It that jour children nre not a nuisance to others; that your chickens are not permitted to damage your neighbor's garden; thut your dog Is not a ferocious one. nnd thnt his bark does not keep the neighborhood wnko? In a word, do you treut your nelghbor Justly, along the lines of the Golden Rule, doing unto him only as you would wish him to do to you? no who Is faithful in little things will he faithful in the greater ones. He who rrnetlces the Golden Rule during the six days of his contact with busi ness will surely be faithful on the sev enth, but faithfulness to the Uolden Rule ou the one day only will never win Divine approval. In no way can we better honor and show our reverence for God than by following to the best of our ability ills commands, which art Just and right tous altogether. price for a remedy to rolleve their suffering.
