Hut every people must acquire and keep liberty for themselves. So in the spiritual life the .fact, that ,(5od came to Daniel and revolutionized the life of Paul pnd gave penteeostal power to the Uinciples and apostles to work their wonders ean do us little or no good unless it convinces us that He can and will come to us and work through us. The Scriptures may stimulate spiritual activity to us. they point us the way to.reach spiritual heights; but to be satisfied to take them or' believe them as a substitute for active life and effort in ourselves is5 foolih ami futile as for any nation to try to substitute mere history for real statesmanship and actual national achievment. Dwelling on the past or living in it in thought or looking back to it in worship and adoration, or wishing that we might have lived ninenteen hundred years ago and have basked in "the sunshine of the love of a visible Savior who walked the earth in the similitude of a man none of these backward roads leads to anv valuable achievment in the living present. They all lead onlv to tombs and ashes, to monuments and epitaphs. The past is dead and His word to each one of us is.

Something less than a million automobiles parked en Saleni'a streets yesterday. Looked good, didn't it? (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury) One of the purposes which the Allwise must have had in the creation of the universe was to refine and develop the life which He imparted to every portion of it. At least, every individuality, great and small, which He has in-all the ages brought into being-has been subject to this law of development, refinement," improvement. The world itself is subject to the same great law. As the matter composing it has become more andi more refined, higher and more complex vegetable and animal onanisms have conic into being upon it. At first masses of protoplasm almost unorganized Avere the highest ; forms of i animal life. From these gradually through countless ages of refinement the myriad forms of organized life now inhabiting the world have been evolved or created. So modem science has discovered and teaches. ' a-1. Humanity is subject to. this same1 great law. UnconSeiously it jnoves onward, upwardiV If the ovcrbrooding Spirit of the Universehas during all the 'ages been working over and in all this niattcr to keep the life in "it tending upward, much more has His. lifc been working with and in humanity. And He has been working especially with the spiritual nature of man since the earliest history was recorded. His Spirit has .spoken Mo and worked through His prophets and messengers from the time of Moses to the present, day to stimulate into activity the Kpirits of men, and to make the Divine in them dominant. 5 Many of these messages given the prophets, and the supreme revelation of the New Te&tameut, have come down to us like great voices from the centuries, calling to men to forsake the coaTse, th beastly, the physical things of life; to rise above the earnal, the sinful, the sensuous, that they may more perfectly express " in their lives than men have hertofore doiie the sentient, spiritual inner life of their Maker, the germ of which is in every one of them. . r " , "While it may be well to hear these voiees of the past, their only useful purpose in the present is to stimulate u of this day to spiritual activity, to high and holy : living. But men have been so long looking to the past and listening to the voices of the centuries that they seem to kae failed to hear His voice tailing to them in the present. Looking back constantly to the jGod of Sinai and Calvary, they have failed generaly to realize that the same God is within each of them. Much 5 less have nost men anv inward consciousness or tue presence ot uum ''who is nigh us, even in our mouths and in our hearts.' ! v 1 This worshiD of the past has gone to such lengths that teligious men, professed Christians, even in the face bf the positive teachings of Jesus td the contrary, believe that j God no mora toanifests Himself directly to men; that the sige of miracles is past; th&J is, that the time of spiritual life, powers and vorks is feone. JSVe may read and hear of these ; things wrought by. men of the distant past, but may not do them nor jsee them done in this day, and age. ! Could anything be further from the positive and plain teaching of Jesus and the New Testament! Can anything be conceived. of more deadening to the spiritual effort and umbitions, or more tending to degrade and belittle our idea of Cod! "Cod the same yesterday, today and forever" has not ma'de a law for Moses and Daniel. and Paul that He hasnot made for us. He has not manifested Himself and demonstrated it KnlrilunJ life? 'ami Dower to anv reonle in the remote tor the near past that He is not ready to help us to actualize. .Wor shipping the things of the past seems not to have helped us to find Cod in ourselves and to learn and us the spiritual laws of our own. being, any more-than looking for and expecting heaven in the uncertain and shadowy, future has enabled us to find the kingdom of heaven within ourselves. i ' , May it not be that if we woukLdcvote one-half of the time we spend in worshipping the past to trying to learn and make use of the spiritual laws of our own beings, we might equal if. not surpass the spiritual achievements of any age ,ot the world The spi ritnaf work recorded in the IJible were wrought in the infancy.of the race, when men were much more ignorant and undeveloped than they arc today. Should we, therefore, ' be satisfied to reaeh even the spiritual heights fo which they climbed? Should we nottlw striving for the accomplishment Some clergymen are now de serting the doctrine of the fall of man. If he does not fall, how does he get that way? Exchange.
