In nnd through tbnp reality can his
own llfo becomo a reality on earth
nnd tho foretaste of a higher reality
to conio In tho world of eternity.
Thnt Is what the disciples of -Jesus
gradually came to see. "This Is llfo
eternal," sny tho Fourth. Gospel,
"that they should know Thee, tho
only truo God, nnd Jesus Christ
Whom Thou hast Bent." Ponder over
these words until you havo realized
tho fullness of their 'meaning nnd
inndo thoni your own. Then you will
know thnt for you eternity has been
already manifested In tlmo, that your
eternal llfo Is already beginning In
tho world of tlmo. II. G. Woods.

"lie hnth sot eternity In their
heart." Keel. Ill, 11.
Til HUH Ib something In' us which
Is eternal changless. It does
Is otornnl changless. It does
not grow, It does not fude; It Ib the
Bamo yoBterdny and today and for
ever. Wo speak much of the changes
which tho years bring. And truly
they bring changes to ninny things.
They chnngo mnnnors, customs and
modes of llfo. Tho culture of tho
.Modem Ilrlton Is quite different from
tho culture of the ancient Jew. If
tho judges of old Israel wore to
awako In modern London, they would
find nn Intellectual world which they
would not recognize. Hut they would
nlso find n world which they would
recognize. There Is a region which
the yearn touch not, which tho con.
turloH change not; It Ib tho henrt;
God has act otemlty then. Tho In
stincts or the henrt aro timeless. Yon
outer n modem drawing room to bid
a friend good-bye, nnd your friend
Insists on going with you. You deoiu
It a beautiful tribute of love, nnd s
It Is. Hut I can tnko you back three
mlllonlums to an ago, comparative!.
barhnroiiH. end thero I can show yoe
the very samo tribute. I can bIiow
you In tho land of tho Judgo of Israel
one woman bidding another good-byo
and thnt other refusing to accept hei
farewell, "where thou goest I will go
nnd whore thou dwollest 1 will dwell:
thy pcoplo shall he my people and th
God my God." Thero hns boon In nl
tlipso threo mlllonlums no Improve
ment In love. Theio nro chnnges In
the IcaL nhnnges In tho fashion,
changes In tho theory; but God lint
set eternity In the heart.
Speak not my roiiI of the thlngr
that vanish with tho yearn. There
me things that vanish; but thoro Is
something which remains; and the
thing which remains Ik tho greatest
thing. Why rests thlno oyo over on
tho blank places, tho vacant places?
Why art thou over Joining In the
d'rgo of tho hymnlnt, "Chnngo and
decay In nil around 1 see"? It may
bo "In all around" but it Is not "In
nil within." Tho mnrkB of time may
be on the loaf, but otomlty Is In thy
heart. Thy henrt Is nolther older
nor youngor than It wbb In the prliir.
Hive days. Thy love Is like a rock In
the sea of tlmo. Tho wntorB hnvr
not washed It nway. Koop thlno eye
nn tho rock, O my soul, for thnt rod
!h Christ. Wring not thy hnndH ovei
tho desolating wave; lovo Inuglin nt
tho wave. Love Is ludopendont of the
yenrs; It makes equal fourscore and
sovonteon. Lovo can retain Its ro
mnnco In old nge. Lovo enn bo a
prlmrogo nmld the withered autumn
flowers. Lovo enn sing In tho night
tho Joys of morning. Lovo can plant
the spring nt tho gntes of December.
Lovo can put a child In tho midst of
tho temple's nroy sages. Dry the
tenrs thou hast shed over thy fleet
ingness, for thou hast otemlty In thy
henrt.
No Bcntlmonts on tho religious
bearing of the Kuropenn war aro
more to tho point than the following
words uttered at tho beginning of the
strugglo:
"Our first feeling about tho war Is
one of sliamo nnd humiliation to
to think that so great n part of tho
world, and tho part thnt calls ItBelf
civilized nnd Christian, should be
come Involved In a dealy strife. It
brings homo to ub with added force
that fact that tho progress of civili
zation of which wo aro Inclined to
hoaBt depends upon Almighty God
and not upon our own weak efforts."
Tho Itcv. Dr. Wllllnni T. Manning.
"Think you If Jesus Christ were
really onthronod In tho councils of
tno nntlonB wo would now bo tremb
ling under tho pall of this awful
wnr? Think you If' theso nntloiiH
which profess Christianity really re
garded Him they would now ho em
barking on thl nwfnl carnage?"
Tho Kov. Dr. John Stuart Ilolden.

WHENCE do wo got our nssur
anco that oven In this world
of tlmo tho consciousness, If
not tho full comprehension, of eter
nity Is within our reach? Wo have It
bacnuso there Is betweon God mid
man u likeuess In iinlikoness; be
cause iiiuii'b lower propensities nro
eouutoilmlnucod by his higher aspir
ations; bocnuso mnn has nn un
quenchable thirst for tho eternal and
the abiding; because, at his best, he
feels u pure Joy In the thought of be
ing In hurmony, In union and com
munion with an Eternal and Infinite
Nature, which satisfies his deepest
longing; becnuso ho feels Intolerable
jinlu In tho Idea that there Is nothing
permanent or satisfying behind this
chnnglug and fleeting world of sense.
Could this thirst, this joy, this pain,
man asks, bo so Ineradicable In him,
could they affect him so profoundly,
could they point so unmistakably to
tho hlghost ideal which he can form
of life, unless they proceeded from
something real, something too vast
and deep and Illuminating to bo a
indie figment of human imagination?
On that reality, man feels, all that
lie most values in Ufa depends; only
Dropping down tho current In n leaky
boat,
Dressed .In faded flannels nnd nn nn-
dent cont;
Luncheon In n basket, plpo between
your teeth.
Watching sun nnd shadows slipping
underneath;
Sunfish, minnows, bullheads, red
fins, too, In schools
Yanking speckled beauties from tho
pobblod pools;
Later In tho twilight, frying pans of
trout
Thnfs tho fun of cnmplng camping
out!
Looking through tho tent-flap at tho
marching stars,
Getting well acquainted with Jupiter
nnd Mnrs,
Listening to the crickets piping from
tho sod,
Feeling xonioliow,nonor all tho tlmo
to God.
Seeing how tho woodlnnd's every
growing limb
Through tho htorm nnd sunshine
reaches up to Him, .
Tnklng tlmo for thinking what It's nil
about
That's the best of camping camping
out.
