Is cosily ' given.

The tenilency of lire Is to go out. The
best fire In the world will go out In 21
hours If you neglect to put on fuel.
Even so, the lire' of devotion In the

out unless It Is fed with fuel, and tha '

light and wnnnth, which Is the nor

Notice that the words, "Awake,'

nre not an exhortation, but a;

.'It may do this kind of work when nee.

for the community, - though It may
. wisely havo an oversight of such mat

some of a bettor quality. No, the real
mission of a church Is to proclnlm the

bring down -power from heaven
to

the real work of the church fromj Tho public is heartily: Invited to

And for this work she Is well
equipped. There Is work enough to do, i

trntlon nf this In John 0. A grent Jecl: "Mind." j
crowd had followed Jesus out of thtjj Sunday school at 10 a. m. Wod-
clty to listen to his marvelous teach- j nesday evening mooting at S
Ing. The day was far spent, nnd there o'clock. ' .
was no place where the people could: Tho Reading room Is ope to the
Obtain food. Fnder these clrcum-! public Monday, . Wcdaesday and
stances tho apostles suggested to Saturday from 2 to 0 p. m. All
Jesus that he send the people nwny to nro. welcome to attend our sor-
the villages round nbont that they 'vices. '
might buy food.
But Jesus answered and said unto
them, "Cllve ye them to ent. now:
jiiany loaves have ye?" And when,
. hoy had canvassed the company they
yeported that nil they Could find was
. a little lad who had live biscuits and
two small fishes; and this amount of
course was utterly Inadequate. Nev-1
erthless tho Master hade them bring
him what they had, nnd arrange the
people for supper. And when they
had finished distributing the pieces
which the Master broke off from those
flvo biscuits, they found that they
had fed five thousand men nnd had
twelve baskets full of fragments left
over.
And whOT the 'church really recog
nizes her mission as the spiritual
teacher nf the community, ns the open
channel through which God's grace Is
to flow to the unsaved around her;
when sho realizes what power can be
obtained through prayer, what con-
vletinn can be carried to Impenitent
hearts, T5ho will begin to see those
who oro spiritually hungry coming to
her doors, nnd the lame, and the blind,
and the oppressed flocking to her for '
comfort, and guidance nnd deliverance
from the power of sin. Thirsty hAys !
know where tho cool springs nre, nnd
godless people pon find out where the
water of life ran he had, and uncon
sciously are drawn thither. I .
Salvation.
Salvation ls that divine something
which saves a man to something worth
while from the power of the sins of
