RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS
Gathered From the Best Exchanges of All Churches
Christ Is the way to Christ, and
the sooner wo enter that way by ap
propriating his teaching and growing
Into his spirit,' tho sooner shall wo
como to that end that Is the true
attltudo for tho soul and Its true rest
and Joy. It Is this that Paul calls
"looking for Josus," and that Peter;
calls "3ettlng the Lord ever before
you." These are expressions that
signify tho coming to Jesus in tho
true spiritual meaning of the words.
For whatever Hft3 us up, and refines
us, and Improves our tempers and ln
ward states, is carrying us gradually,
oven if remotely, that way. Whatever
brings us near td tho high level where
on he stands, nears us to him. What
ever betters us in tho spirit of our
lives, so that wo are made more like
him and tho Fathor who sent him
and the final perfection of tho glorl
, fled, 1 virtually a means of approxi
mation and victory. Tho verities and
obediences, however practised, load
up and lead on from less to more
and front lower to higher, even to
that point wherein wo shall reach
the measure and stature of tho full
ness of Christ. The Unlversallst
Leader. , .
While It is absolutely truo that we
cannot save ourselves by any effort of
our own, it is also truo that our will
must co-operato with tho will of God
in the process of salvation. God can
not save thoao who do not want to
"bo saved. His Spirit may strive long
-with a reluctant soul, but until that
soul yields Its opposition and willing
ly recolves Christ, it will not find
salvation. When in that memorable
walk' to Emmaus, the disciples came
to tho village whither thoy were
uound, Jesus "mado "as though he
would go further." Ho would not
enter without invltlatlon. But how
flulckly ho responded to their deslro
that ho should abldo with them! So,
gladly, ho enters every fteart that In
vites his presence; but ho will not
force 'his way in, nn unlnvlte'd guest.
Thej Examiner-
God has given every encouragement
to us to mako known bur needs to
Hlm, To tho man 'r woman whoso
heart is right with Him' Heisays
"And It shall come to paasf that, bo
foro thoy call, I shall answer; nnd
whllo thsy are yet speaking, I will
hoar." Tho truth of this may bo
proved by any one anywhere, who may
will to do the will of God. Denial of
tho qfllcacy of believing prayer In
securing definite answers from God
Is one of the indications of the pre
valence of unbelief In tho heart of
men nnd women who call themselves
by the nam of Christ, yet In practise
deny his everlasting power and divin
ity. Pacific Baptist.
If men were to be Judged solely
by their achievements and not at alt
by their struggles who could hope
to stand In tho awful light which
streams frorm tho divine Judge of all
men? Tho saints who were once a
lltlo company, havo become an un
numberod host, gathered out of all
nations, calling themselves by all
names, stating their faith In many
forms, but all devoted to tho sorvloe
of God through the love of man. Tho
Outlook. . ,
To look for the best; not because
the world 1b good, but because God
Is working In It 'to bring about His
purposes, which cannot but be good;
to cultivate the social love which
seeks tho best In man, to count dls
couiagement a forgetfulness of God,
and idleness an ingratitude, this la
the way of courage and of Joy, which
Is at once becoming and rewarding
to tho children of God. Tho Congro-gatlonallst.
