This is alienation, even enmity
against God.
How poor and
wretched must lie the state of such
a person, and how inestimably en
riched would he be to heed the ad
monition, “ Be ye reconciled."
Use for Grumbler^
Probably all- things have their
use .in this .wurhl, imiLgiumLLuus axul
fault tinders are no exception to the
rule. It needs one or two dogs to
take care of a Hock of sheep. To
be sure a whole Hock of dogs would
be cl’ little Value. They would
produce neither lambs-, wool qr mut
ton; but one or two of them serve
an excellent purpose. They guard
tne Hock, they hunt up stragglers,
they raise the alarm when dangers
real or fancied- are itear, and
they really serve the shepherd’s in
terests. So one or two growling,
snarling grumblers about a church
aid wonderfully in keeping things
inorder. They may be unreason
able, the.yinayTn themselves seem
unprofitable; neither Heece nor
milk can be expected from them;
but their growls warn men away
from danger, their snarling and
muttering serves to keep people on
the alert, and at a safe distance.
Many a man has had great reason
to thank God for the slanders and
lies that have been told about him,
and which have stimulated him to
constant watchfulness that he
might prevent their ever coming
true.
So, good friends, if yoi| can’t be
sheep, I m ? <tbgs, and keep up your
yelping ; it may keep sheep in the
fold, if “it does not keep the wolves
odt; and in the end
may see
that all things have their use, and
that all things work together for
good to them that love God — Set.
What Love Can Do.

As a matter of fact, there is no
motive principle of life which can
compare in the results wrought on
man’s nature with this realized
love of God in Christ Jesus. There
are no such noble characters in al
history as in the annals of Christi
anity. From the apostles J.>hn and
Paul down to the humblest be
liever to day who forgives as he
has lieen forgiven, who follows the
Father’s will as Jesus followed it,
who loves his God and his fellow-
