As an Il lustratien: What apeaker or writer has ever done more to help poor humanity than the Prophet David iu tho Inspired IVtnlmH wilcli he wrote? Truly, as Solomon has said, "A word fitly spoken Is llko apples of gold In pictures of sil ver (Proverbs xxv, ill. As for the Church, the Lord has Indeed agreed that be will not Judge the Church ac cording to their words and their deeds entirely, but according to their spirit, their intention, their will, their energy, their zeal for" hlui and his Truth.' Ncv- crtholcHH, he nssures tho Church that out of the abundance of the heart tho mouth will spenk, and that they may thus Judge or test themselves. If their hearts are right-full of love for God. for tho brethren, for mankind, for their enemies, they will speak accord ingly, manifesting their love and kind ness lu words as welt as In deeds. Tho good heart out of Its good treasure will shower blesslnga-frults nnd (lowers of refreshment and kindness, whllo tho evil heart will send forth hitter words, poisoned arrows, Injurious to nil with whom they como In contact. Whoever, therefore, Muds that ho is continually stirring up strlfo and wounding his friends should promptly make an examination of his heart to ascertain the troublu there. Iloahould not lie content to say, "I meant uo harm." Tho heart that Is not full of goodness, kindness, generosity, love, will likely not coutrol the touguo prop erly. Wo must reach the place where not only we do not will to do harm to our neighbors, hut where wo sincerely wish to do them good. Then that good heart, out of its treasure of goodness, will speak words of kindness, of love, Mn 8hall Qlv'a an Account. Hut now, considering tho words of our text as applicable to the Millenni um, how will the world render Its ac count In the future respecting the words of tho present life? Not Hurely In line with the teachings of tho dark ages that, during a twenty-four-hour-day, the whole world could Is ranged lu Hue and each Individual remember each Hrnlclous word and evil act and give an account of the same to the great .ludge? Quite different will the reality be. The Judgment day will be the thousand year period of the Mil lennium and the account of every evil act. of every sinful deed, and of every pernicious word will bo recorded lu the Individual's own character, Just as a towel lieara tho mark of every un clean wash dried uikui It. lu other wonls, the wrong-doer not only In jun's others, but specially Injures and marks hlim-clf by the wrong he has practiced lu evil speaking and evil- doing and the more deeply has he ywrked 1N ihara-ter a--nllugly.

Is merciful toward him. and compassionate. uidoiihlodly wouV greatly restoct and love the Plvlne chnrncter In Its perfection of Justice. Wisdom and Love. Oltned Are the Merciful. This brings us to another Scripture of similar tener: "Hlessed nre the mer ciful, for they shall obtain mercy." It Is true that God gave to natural Israel a code of laws which detlued the course of life for them, saying. Thou shalt not do this and that. Yet that I .aw was Intended hi great measure to show to Israel and to the world the Impossi bility of an Imperfect mail or woman keeping perfectly (he Divine reipihv incuts. When the I.onl would state hi I.nw from the other sliiudmlnl -positively and not negatively, he sums the matter up lu few wolds, Tlmu shalt love the I.onl supicmely and thy neigh bor us lliyxcir. lie who Is inen-ltiil I in the condition to be blessed or the I.onl. Ih-ciiiiso he more than others njt- proximities the simulant nf the Plvlne Utw-I.ove: for mercy Is the expres sion of love. Wo see, then, that the Divine prem ise that he who Is merciful to bis neighbor will receive tho more mercy from the I-onl la not n mere ipe dixit, nor n mere rewnrdlug of such a proHr course. Itnther It Is In harmony with tho principles and essence of the divine government, Ivcoause tho more gener ous ami loving the heart, the nearer to the perfect condition. If this principle could bo rightly seeu by Christian people It would work uti almost instantaneous revolution In the hearts and conduct of nil who desire Plvlne approval and favor. Instciu' of burning oue another at the stake; Instead of putting ou thumb screws; Instead of condemning one another to eternal torment, Christians would be Kecking to bless one nuother, to thin'; and feel kindly respecting ono another mid disposed to pray God's blessing upon those who despltefully use them uud persecute tboiii. Instead of slan der nnd misrepresentation nud euvlots" Insinuations, the spirit of love and kluOuesa uud nii-rey uud godllkeness would more nud more prevail amongst those who havo named tho name of Christ and have professedly eullsttd under his bauuer and eoveuauted u V-hIU lu bis footsteiw. Nor would tho blessing stop with the Chunii. The world, seelug such nn example of love nud kindness, would be ready to take kuowlcdge of the fol lowers of Josus, us they did lu the days of the apostles, saying, "Heboid, how tlwso Christians lovo ono anoth er!"
