Men who have seen a higher light, who have even an
intellectual conception of something better than the selfish
ness, sordidness, greed and worldliness that now dominate
the earth have a great responsibility that as yet most of
them have not realized. They must make this light in them
them not only more completely dominate their own lives and
conduct, but they must make it shine for other men. We
Christians must take our religion more seriously very much
more seriously. God will surely hold us accountable for the
use we make of the light he has given us. The promises we
have made to Him and the solemn covenants we have made
with Him will not be treated as light and trivial matters by
Hpn, even if we do so treat them. The s:n of omission, a
failure to live the truth as we know it, is often the greatest

The answer to this great question has often been attempt
ed by theologians of all sorts and sectarians have quarreled
and fought over it. Still the world does not seem to be saved
from its sins; and the principles revealed in the life and
teachings of Jesus are a long way from full realization in the
lives of most of His followers, and are still entirely foreign to
the great mass of humanity.
' - Is Christianity merely a matter of intellectual belief, or
is it something more? Is it a formal adherence to a certain
sect and a more or less conscientious conformity to its re
quirements, or is it somethting above and larger than any
sect or denomination, or all of them combined? Is it a belief
in a reality of the truths recorded in the New Testament and
ah acceptance of Christ as there revealed as one'3 personal
Ffivior and leader? Or Is it something outside of, above and
beyond intellectual belief or conception outward form, pro
fession or observance? r'
Do not.the life and teachings of Jesus sufficiently define
Christianity 7 jsven this is not an adequate and sufficient
definition. A suffering; and sin-oppressed world is uncon
sciously waiting for some one to show it that Christianity is
, a practical code of living ethics, and not a belief in something
' that is passed, or any other intellectual process whatever;
that it is nothing less than the spirit of Christ dominaing the
: individual life, bringing somethting of His power, love and
v. helpfulness. And this needs to be shown, not by words and
preaching alone, but by demonstrations in human lives. 4 Men

; - Most of us 'do not need to be told that, except on Sunday

"Sure she was. They were just

little sister and her father and
mother and the cow. Sheila's
uncle had given her the cow for
a birthday present, and she was
that fond of It! Every day she
took it out to the pasture and
every day she brought it back.
Her little sister, who was not
very strong, was growing round
and rosy on the fresh milk, and
Sheila Just worhipped her. That
made her fonder than ever of the
cow.
"Now Sheila had one fault
that was hard on 'her family.
Every other 'sentence she used
was 'I wish.' She never churned
the milk without wishing she had
a patent churn. She never took
a stitch without wishing she had
a sewing machine. She never
put on her clothes without wish
