' : , " r ; More even than this- the old teaching was that the bet- j ter and truer and purer your life, the more you must expect V:t6 suffer, the more hardships irou must undergo, the more losse3 ana sacniices you musi auonui .io. xne via religious teachers were fond of quoting such passages of scripture j-., as f)Vhom the Lord loveth, He chastenth, and - scourgeth " ! every son whiom ile receiveth." Your rewards for honest pure,, unselfish living, for human service and' everything lovely in life, character and conduct are to come in some future, far-away heaven,, ! Your sufferings, hardships and BAcrifices the' inevitable, present, reality 1 -Your rewards only ' ': a-hope, or a promise of someone who knows by . experience no more about the great future than, you knovft, . 'f 5 These lugubrious ideas of course are. not, at. all in har mony with the teaching of the Bible, v Before the glorious manifestation of love and power in the New Testament, the voice of inspiration spoke through the Psalmist injthfa wise: .The young lions do 'lack and suffer hunger ; but' they that fi'eelc the .Lord shall not want any good thing.'' "Because thou M has made the Lord, which, is my refuge,' even the Most High ,5 thy habitation, there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any, piague come nign tny aweuing. r or zie snau give nia 'Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. "They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone?, w i . -k :- '::-d's'.- .-. The New Testament, is full of this same teaching ; of the present power and rewards of religion, and the constant, ldvisg.care of the Father.- Jesus tells us that God numbers the hiirs of our; heads, and that not a , sparrow falleth, to the ground without Jlis notice, and He assures us that' we are of more value than many sparrows. He specifically prom ises the gift of great power and wisdom to those who really become His disciples and keep His. commandments. :) i Wherever: His-spiritual: life Is active,' dammant ; there ia harmony and heaven; there is reward for every good, pure, holy, unselfish thought, aspiration actw Otherwise He is not a God of love, or He does 'not rule thi3 part1 of His crea tion; and our daily, observation and experience, as well as nearly every page of Holy Writ, teach us unequivocally that He is a God of love and that He does rule every part of his universe. 'Since this is so, it must be, in the language o the old hymn, that " 4 "The han that bears creation up Shall guard His children well." It is becoming daily more apparent that many. men in this day will not longer be fed exclusively upon promise 5 to be redeemed in the. future life. They are demanding to see 3ome real and tangible results of religion here and now or. they will have none of it. Not as infidels or scoffers, but as intelligent, honest and earnest seekers after truth, they are reverently asking, "What sign showeat Thou, that we may see and believe Thee?" This attitude off insisting upon being shown results is not wholly unreasonable. If the New Testament record be true, can it be that .the God who worked in and with Christ , the disciples and apostles, ha3 left the world, or has less power than formerly; that He is either not willing or is not able to redeem' the promise made by Jesus, that ""the works that I do ye shall do also; if ye became my disciples"? Rather than this, may it not be that in straining our eyes across the centuries of the past to find our Christ and get some evi dence of His power, and in so constantly peering into the distant heavens to see the rewards for our faith and dis- cipleship, we have forgotten to make ourselves His real dis ciples? Are we warranted in concluding that a discipleship that does not. bring the results that Jesus himself prom ised in this life is to bring the rewards that our religious leaders assure us it is to bring in the next? - Having little or no real spiritual power, and manifesting little 01 the love and spirit ox Christ, may it not be that we are of those who are rejected of the Master; of those to whom He is recorded in Matthew as stating the reason for Hi3 refusing to receive them 7 "I Was an hungered and ye gave me no meat; 1 was a stranger , and ye took me not in; naked and ye cloth ecLme not; sick and in prison and ye visited me not. Then shall they answer Him, sayinsr, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, or athirst, or a" stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison and did not min-, fster unto Thee?

JR. At first Mrs. Foster was going to wire the news, but Mr; Foster persuaded her to let Henry go ''The folks will be disappointed," he said. "Henry need stay only a week or two. Maybe he won t do so much damage It that time. You can write them a letter ex plaining it." . V So Henry went to the farm. He was met'at the station, as Harry, and he didn't tell them any dif ferent. He thought it would be a good Joke on them And next II II By Harry F. Atwood, Author of "Back to the Repub lic," "The Constitution Our Safeguard." (The following is from "Keep God in American History," pub lished by Iaird & Lee, Chicago.) There were men in the consti tutional convention who refused to sign that immortal document. Alexander Hamilton was the only ma.n.Trom the great state of New York who signed it, but those who refused have long since been forgotten. The" men who refused to tslgn the constitution were urging- the Inclusion of popular fallacies that are as bid as Me thuselah and played their part in the downfall of Greece, Rome and other countries. And the same old fallacies, during recent years, bay!,Teen advocated by modern demagogues in this country as new panaceas. When the men who favored those Socialistic nos trums learned that they could net appeal to the reason of the men who wrote and signed the consti tution they tried to appeal to their fear, and they said,, in ef fect, "Unless you write Into this constitution some popular falla cies to fool and please the people the constitution will never be adopted." George Washington had taken no Dart in the discussion of the convention up to thatx time, buf when he heard that statement he rose from the president's chair and in tones of suppressed' emo tion said: "It Is too probable'that no plan we propose will be aiJopt- ed; perhaps another dreadfql con flict is to be sustained; if, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend ouf woYk? Let us raise a standard -to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hands, of God. Professor Fiske has well said that those words ought to be written on the walls ot every legislative hall, state and national, in this country, and ought to be carved jV;e:Tho-Bad,One Of the tf ins. Harry x was al ways known as the good one end Henry as the bad one.', Since the time Henry was a very little boy, whenever one ot them got into trouble he was the one. "Never mind, about Harry," Mrs.. Foster, mother of the twins, would say. hot" for goodness sake look out tor Henry." Henry got. used to being the hlack sheep. Every one expected him to do something he shouldn't o he did; . . ; ; . When summer vacation came, and the twins'' grandfather wrote that he'd like to ""have them come out tbr 'a; while to his farm, it waa (decided that Harry . should go. Mrs. Foster was sure she could never trust Henry away from home. So Harry got readyd to go, but the day before he was to leave he came home with a chill and fever, and the doctor ordered him to stay at home. day when they sent ; him, out to get the mail, and he found a let ter In his mother's-handwriting, he hid it In his coat. VI can't understand this," said Mrs. ' Foster two weeks later. "Here'a a letted from your fath er. He says Harry is certainly all we said he was -the finest boy ever. He wants him to stay all summer." 1 , So , Mr, Foster wrote telling them there must be some mistake. The letter wa read aloud at the dinner table. "Well, well." said grandfather, "what does this mean, Harry I mean Henry?" "At first it was a Joke," stam mered Henry, "and then It was so nice being treated like I really was-good that that I didn't tell yOU.V- -.I-:' V - His grandfather came over and nut his ana about the boy's shoui derv0 ome k6 " he satd gruffly, "but they're the ones that'are making It.5 And you're going to stay all summer. That's, all there is to it" , . 1 "How did the Order of the Bath originate?"- x 5 : nYou iee, it It tott ancient. In those days a man never .look a bath except by .order ot the kiag npon "the walls o every ..conven tion room where people meet to write a platform or adopt a reso lution or nominate a candidate. It Is illustrative ot the type of reasoning that prevailed in the constitutional convention. Those men were not trying to follow the crowd; they were try ing to mold public opinion and give Ihe people what they needed. The great difficulty during recent years is that we have bad crowd followers instead of statesmen who were leaders. .' The crowd does not want to be followed; it 1 wants to be guided; and the great men, the men who have molded puDiie sentiment irequenuy nave had to stand in the minority for time. But history points to these men finally as the ones who molded public opinion and who stood tor what they believed to be right. George, Washington wrote to Governor Trumbull of Connect! cut: "I can almost trace the fin ger of Drvine Providence through those dark and mysterious days which first led the colonists to assemble in convention, thereby laying the foundation for peace and prosperity, when we had too much reason to fear that misery and confusion were coming too rapidly upon us." In his farewell address he said. among other things: "Of all habits and customs leading to po litical prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable sup ports. . It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a ne cessary spring of popular govern ment." Alexander Hamilton exclaimed: "The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written as with a sun beam In the whole volume of hu man nature my the hand of Di vinity . itself." Again, he said A nation without a national gov ernment Is, in my view, an awful spectacle. The establishment of a constitution in time ot pro found peace by the voluntary ac tion of all the people, is prodigy. It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in It a finger of that Almighty hand which has been so frequent ly and signally extended to our relief." 1 Chief Justice John Marshall, generally regarded as the greatest judge that ever sat on the bench, In his 75th year, said: "Advert, sir, to the duties of a judge. The judicial department comes home in its effects to every man's fire side. It passes on his property, his reputation his all, ' la it not to the last degree important that he should be rendered perfectly and completely independent, with nothing to influence or control him but God and his conscience " Daniel Webster, expounder and defender of the constitution, wbo stands at . the mountain peak of New England history and ranks second only to Alexander Hamil ton as a governmental genius, said: "I mean to stand upon the constitution. ,1 need no other platform. " The ends I aim at shall be my country's, my God's, and tiuth's." The great patriot, Archbishop Ireland, once exclaimed: "Tell men there is a God in Israel; Tthat authority is Divine; that God's majesty encircles with its rays the. legislators and rulers ot nations. God is the . master of man, and God's will is man's su preme law. ' Authority is from God and civil governments rule by divine right. The underlying re ligious spirit of the people Is the sqrest hope of the republic." I " . : .... ... - -- -1 , CHINESE BAZAAR Kweng Fook & Co. 264 N.
