" ,-\nd Da\"id said, I s the re yet any that is lef t oi the house of Saul, that 1 Illay show him kind­ness for Jonathan's sake?" 2 Sam. 9:1.

How sweet and tender is this loving inquiry of King David! The house of Saul was the house of his enemy. Yet for Jonathan 's sake he desires to show kindness to any who arc left of Saul's house­hold. The lo\'c between Da\'id and Jonathan is one of the most beautiful things recorded in the Bible. Jonathan knew that David wa s ordained of God to si t upon the vcry throne which he natural­ly would have occupied, hut the generous, loving heart of Jona­than had within it no jealousy. lIc accepted thi ~ as God's appoint­ment and was delighted with it. \Ve read in 1 Sam lle l l8: 1, "The soul of Jonathan was knit with the .50ul of David, and Jonathan 100'ed him as his own soul."

Again we read in I Samuel 19 :2, "Jonathan, Sau l' s son. delighted much in D;l\·id." And after his death, David mourn s for him in these words : " I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; vc ry pleasant hast thou been u n ­to me; I hy love to me was won­derful, pass ing the lo\'e of wo­men." 2 Sam. I :26. );'ot only had the covenant been between Jona­than and David, but Jonathan had said: ';Tholl shalt not only while yet I li\'c show mc thc k indness of thc Lord that I dic no t , but al so thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my ho use forever."

111 accordance with this cove­nant David remembers to inquire concern ing the seed of Jonathan, that he may show him kindness "for Jonathan's sake." As we 'read thi s beautiful story, how

sweetly does it bring- tu 1I~ in type the lovc of God to lh through lJis dear Son. E\"('11 whIle we were enemies, heful't.: we were reconciled, lI is hcart was full of IO\'ing purposes lor Jesus' sake, and now that we arc rt,'concilcd by the death of His .son, ;'how Illuch morc bcing rel"o1ll.:ilt'd wc shall be saved hy Ti l-; lif,'." 1~()Ill. 5: 10.

In an swc r 10 l\l(' king's call, a scnall l of the house of Saul namcd Ziha faille hdore him, and the king said, "Is there not ye t any of th{' hOllse of Saul, that I mav show til(' kindness of God 1111'*0 him ?" It was not Illcrt'ly the k i11cln{'~..; of Daviel. hut "the kind­ness of Cod," illfin itely more than the kindllcss which might spring from an} human impulse, that he wanted to show lin to the hOllse of Sau l. Ziba answered the ki ng-. "Jonathan hath yet a son which is lame o n his fect." \Ve read in 2 Sam. -l:4 how this lameness had been brought ahollt: the little boy was about fivc years old "when the tid ings carne of Sa ul and Jonathan out of Jczrcel, and hi s nursc took him up a nd fled ; and it came to pa ss , a s she made has te to fl ec, that he fell, and beca me lame.

It is interes ting to not iec the meaning o f thi s na me, "destroying shame." Poor l\rephibosheth, bear­ing the reproach of Sa ul 's s in and defeat, and with hi s poor cr ippled body he mu st havc felt the shame which he expr essed outwardly when called into David's presence. He bowed him self and sa id, "What is thy servant that thou shol1l dst look upon sllch a dead dog as I am?" lTow thoroughly David's loving kindness destroyed

"And whosoever was 110t toulld 'Writ· ren ill th e book of life was cast illto the (ake of fire." He\,. 20: 15.

Tonight as I attempt to speak upon the subject of lIell, 1 speak upon it with rel uctance. ancl with pain. l never spoke upon the subject in my life bu t what I felt the subject, felt my message, felt the tru th that there is a hell and lhat men are lost if they do not know Jesus.

r would rather speak on an unpleasant truth and please God and help mankind, than to preach a pleasant error and please hu manity. VJouldn't YOll? 1 ( there we re not a hell, we should not have had to have a Saviour to come and die . But there is a hell, alld J eslls is the only remedy for s in, and the only One who can save fallen mankind and keep thelll from going then:.

Open your heart and ask God to show you whether your name is written ill hea\'<':I). 1 rlill much conce rned about my own name's being written there. I !lweI a lot of folks who think it is 50

wonderfu l to get their name in the news~ paper. 1ft hey can gct it on the front page or the back page, and gel thei r piclurl' ill once in awhile, they th:nk they arc social climbers. Oh, how good it is to have your name in the hook of lifc; how good it is to have your nalllC

in heaven. Whosoever has not hi s name written in the book of life will find his portion in the lake of firc.

A lot of folks :\rc saying, "1 don't believe there is a hell." There is one anyhow. There is a hell. A man came to my home and was si tting and tal ki ng. 1J e said, "All the old~fashioned pr('ach~ ers have passeu on, and the new~ f ash~ ioned preachers have about decided that there is no heH these days. They have learned better." I said, " Brot her, even though some of the new ~ fashioned preachers are not preaching it , the Bible has not changed, heaven has not changed, God has not changed, <lnd hell has nOt changeu, only that "hell has en­larged it self." 1sa. 5 :14. There is a hel l.

1 meet a lot of folk who say, " \Vell, if God is love, H c will not send any­body to hell. " D id you C\'cr hea r any­body say that? You have.

Let me tell yo u someth ing. God is love, and it is because God is love that there is a hell to night. 1 f God should let every old sinller, eve ry unbel iever, every liar, thief. and drunkard into hea­,'en , heaven w()\lld be hell in fi\'c minutes.

I tell you there is a hcll, and this provcs 10 me that God is just.

There is t he necessity of men and women's having the fear of God in their lives. [feel a little bit like Sam Jones d id one time. Sam Jones said that if there were 110 heH, he wo uld giYe tWCI1-

ty~fi\'e dollars to start one, J feci that way, too. Some men afe so wicked, some womcn arc so wicked, that there must be a place for them. :'>.hy God st ir us and help us to realize that JC'-,lIS

Christ hung on the cross, that lie hied and died that yOLl and J might not ha\'c to go to this awful place, but that we might be saved f rom s in, elljoy a walk with God in this world, and at last, when eternity opens its arlllS to receive liS, we call go to be with God forever and ever .

Jt is in the Book, and there are only two places in which to spend eternity­heaven a nd hell. There a re only two classes o f people in this tent tonight­sa ved people and lost people. There are only two roads spoken of in the I3ible­the nanow road and the broad road. T here is on ly one way home to heaven. I t is not the church; it is not th<: dc~ nominat ion, but jeslls declared it when lIe said, "I am the way, I am the t ruth, 1 am the lifc."

Friends, Jesus never came into this world to show mcn and W01l1ell how to get to heaven. llc decla red, "J am the way." O h, He is 110t the way-shower; He is the lifc~gi7ler. li e is the Saviour from s in, blessed be IJi s name fo rever! And so 1 beseech you in jesus ' name, lean toward Christ tonight and let I l im san.! you by the power of His blood.

lIeU- that's a tenible wo rd, isn't it ? Jt is an awful thing to think about a soul's being lost eternally, cierI/ali), . Eternally, fore\'e r, everlasting! Such words as tha t are enough to cause a ha rd­ened soul to turn away from sin and ~eek God. There is enough contained in the wo rd eternity , if you look at it long enough, to make you desi re to change your Ii fe.

1 was preaching ill a certain place and one night when the altar call was given T saw conviction all over a young lad y's facc. I went to her and said, "Goel is dealing with you." She said, " I know He is ." She sa id , "'I am not going." I said, "Sister, d id you eyer stop to think about what it means to be lost, lost , lost, lost, lost .. ?" She said, "No sir, I refuse to think on such a subject." J sa id , "lIow in the world do you get around it?" She 5<1i(l . " \Vhen

I begin to think abou l being lost and meeting God in l11y sins, I jmt push that out of my mind. I entertain some silly, frivolous foolishness."

Some people laugh off the cOllvicting power of God. I have seen people get right up out of a Holy Ghost meeting, lig.ht a cigarette, and thus put away the vOIce of God.

ff God shows you you arc 10<,1. that may be all the feeling you will have until you wake up in hell. In the day we are living in, the 110ly Ghost is ful~ filling I-lis mission outside th<: church and in the church. People on the streets and people in the hamlets and people in the coumry e\'erywhere are talking about something's going to happen, aren't they? There seems to be a voice speaking to humanity everywhere, and the poor lost man as he stands at his grind every day says, ;'1 don't know what is gong to happen, hut something is going to hap­pen." That kllO\vledge which i~ stir~ ring within you, which causes yOIl to realize that something is going to hap~ pen, is of God. It is God's faithfulncss to humanity today to keep them f 1'0111

being lost. And 1 say to you that some­thing is about to happen to the old. wic­ked, tired, cursed world. Something is about to hoppel/. But the mercy doors of Christ a re still open, hallelujah. \Vc can sti ll come into the presence of God and be saved, be washed in His blood; we can have our names written in g lory and get ready to escape the things that are coming upon the world,

One time I was preaching in Colorado. Some one asked me if 1 would like to drivc over to Canon City, Colorado, and visit the penitentiary. J thought l should like to go and see the place.

\ Vhen I was there the ushe r was show­ing me all thro ugh the penitentiary and telling me all about it. lie sa id, "1 judge you arc a min ister." I sa id, ' ·Yes." lIe said, "I 'm going to show yOll the worst thing we have today. Do yOIl want to see it t' I said, '']'11 look at it if you will let me sec it." So we went all through the penitentiary and as we were jtl ~ t about to go through the last corridor, he said, "Xow then, T am going to show you tbe Ii fer::;, the men and women that are il! Ihis penitentiary who can never, neve r, ne\'cr be loosed." \ 'Vc walked up to a little cell anel there was a nice-looking man about forty years old, bright of eye, stripes running around him, walking backwards and forwards like a lion in a cage. I thought I would just tell him about j esus. \Vhcn I spoke he would not listen. H e j ust walked back and forth and the usher sa id io me, "That poor man walks that way by the hour. \Vhen he gets tired he fall s over and rests on his little bed and then gets up and does t he ~a1l1e thinO" over again ." b

1 sa id in l11y heart, "0 Cod, what is it? \\ 'hat is wrong with the man?" And a voice came to my lioul, "This man's sins have caught up with him. This man's sins-he remembers them. Those sins that once he was ta .. ting, thinking they wel'e sweet, now he has nothing but the Illemory." That i~ what it is in a pcnill:ntiary. ).!t'li and wOlllcn are filled with memory, memory, memory, and remOrse.

But as 1 looked at the Illan I said, "God, some day he will fall over and die in that place, that will be the cnd o f that man. H e will bc taken Ollt and buried. That will be the cnd of his existence in this world."

L et me ask you, is your name writ­ten in heaven? Arc you saved? Is it not serious when souls are going to eter­nity either saved or lost?

''dVat !By !But !By" F. M. Be/lsmuh

Twenty-five years ago the writer came in contact with 1'(>111{'Co"t for the fmit lill1<:', Ill' was then a i-olcthodist pastor in \\,iJlIlipcg, Canada, and a Funda­I1lclltali~t. lie had SOIllClil11('~ wonder­ed why the power of the Spirit a~ re­cord!'(] in Acls was not in cvidence in Ihl'~C (lays. Tim!; he had an open mind, 3ml wl1('ll for the fir'>! time he heard people spt.'ak ill long-lit'S, it did Ilot oc­cur to him to douht the reality of the CXPCrlCIlC(', The !o31l1(: was trILl' rcgarcl­

ing !)lnI1C Ill'allng; III fa('l, about that tlllW hi~ Wife had a seriOlls illness, and he hdic\'('d that prayer had much to do with her n'tOH'rl'. j lowcvcr in 1914, he rClllmcd to Toronto and later became a chal'tull III the army, and did not come in 10llch with I'elllecost again for a 1I1111l~ ber of lears.

In tllO .. e early years of the movcment and later. some tell year., ago, wht'n he himself rCCl'I\'cd the Baptism ill the Iioly !-ipirit, one thing that greatly impressed him was the spontancous movement of the Spirit ill the mceting .. , both in sing­ing and in prai~c and in prayer. There wa., nothing cut and dried; there were no .. et program.,: and there was no at~

tClIlpt 011 the part of leaders to work lip tht f(:cling~ of the people.

During recen t years in some places, the writer h:ls l)Cell conscious of a falllllg' away in this regard. Formerly the people knelt to pray before a meet­ing, or else spontaneoll'; singing would hrcak out, whereas now the people gos­.. 1]1. Thcir talk may be innocent enough, but it scems a poor substi tute for the deep spirit of worship which formerly prevailed. It has been observed in some large as~emblies that before the pastor or evangelist ascends the plat form to begin the meeting'. a hum of converS<."­~ioll call be henrd throughout the build­IIlg.

The writer has desired to sec recover­ed that touch of spontaneity which has departed. On one occasion when con­ducting the communion in a large church. while the elemellts were being distributed by the elders he said: "If ally one feels led to start a chortls-" when instantly one of the ciders tllrtled and pointed to thc pianist indicating that all singing mmt he under her direction. The writer may he wrong. and if so. would gladly be SCI right. but he feels that something very fine and truly of the Spirit has been lost.

Our brother Donald Gee. in one of his book!;, s, .. ys the leader of a Pentecostal

IllCCtlllg ought to lTllpn'ss his personality on thc congregation a.., lir;htly as pos­sible. But it has been ob~cr\"ed that the mO!'.1 popular and apparently !'.llcccssful emngelists and pastors arc tilc ones who impress their personalities lIlO.~t 11pon the people. What is wrong here l' Th<:. answer to the question is not far to seck. It is that for utter depend('nce 011 the Holy Spirit, men are substituting' human power. The key verse in thi~ r('gard is Zechariah 4 :6. "Not by Illight. nor by power, but by Tlly spirit. ~aith the Lord of hosts." The contrast in thi!'. '·er!'.e between "not by" and "bm by" is to be noted. Our true source of pow('r is not mall and his money and hi.., lIll'lhods. hilt the Holy Spirit of God.

The effort to win o1H~idcrs and to draw them into our asselllhlie!li by the at~ tractiveness of big programs in which the entertainment element is prominent may be outwardly successful. but it hampers rather than helps the Spirit in fli~ work. Success in drawing larg-c crowds and winning COil verts is 1I0t the true' cri­lerion. Homanists arc making com'erts to their church, SO arc Mormons. 50 are Christ ian Scient ists. so are S piritualists ; and if a cultured MohaTllmedan mission­ary came along with a choir of Arab singers and players. he would attract large crowds and doubtless win COll\'erts. It is not difficult to gather crowds by purely human methods, and succcss in doing so is not sufficient proof that God is in the midst. Some evangelists have been seemingly sllccess ful who were found to be living douhle lives. This high-pressure-s<''llesmanship method is a

poor substitute for the Spirit. and the writer feels it ought to be a1>."lIdo11ed as not being Pentecostal.

Morcover, the COI1!)tallt effort by lIlany e\'angelists and pastors to work up the feelings of the people see1llS to the writer to be un-Pentecostal. It cannot be denied that fleshly feclings can Uc stirred by purely human influences. and that many people will join in and l)('cl>1I1e happy in doing so. 1t often happens that people. good people, will go away frOI11 a meeting where the atmosphere has been manufactured and say what a wonder­ful time they have had and how the pow­er fell, when the truth is. it was a 1I(';,h­ly meeting from bcginning to end.

The Romanists and high Anglicans design their churches and services to produce a sense of reverence and awe in people. They succeed. The a!~lhetic is akin to the artistic. ':\len and \\"omel1 who regularly attend such highly ritual­i;,tlc sen'ices arc mO\'ed by them as by listening to beautiful Illu.,ic or looking at a beautiful picture. 13111 this oo('s not bring about a moral and spiritual trans­formation. The same people go Ollt from such services as worldly minded as they went in.

The fleshly meeting in Pentecost has no more effect on the moral life or the spiritual life than tlu: ritl1ali~tic services. People go out from ~uch meetings fecl­ing happy but 110 octter than they went in. I f they are selfish. they continuc to be so; if they are gi\'en to talebearing, they keep on being talebearers; if they arc worldly or semi-worldly, they go out uIlchanged except to be more confirmed in their ways. \Vhy should they separate completely from the world? Did not God bless them in the meeting? Where­as God did not bless them at all. They were simply stirred in their fleshly feel­ings by the strong personality of the evangelist or pastor and the "hip-hurrah" style of the meeting. Moreover let it be said that this slirring of the feelings by other means than by the Spirit is dangerous and has led to moral dis.. .. sters.

In the mind of the writer. there is one true way and only one, and that is as Zechariah said, ul3y my spirit, S<. .. ith the Lord of hosts."

PRISONERS \\' hen 1 saw one day a printed prayer to

be handcd to cOllvened Illell an d women confl1led in jails and penitentiaries, I thought of the multitudes of God's ch ild ren who are unhapp ily situated. Pel'haps they arc un­equally yoked toi-tether in ll1arr ia~~e, ell­gai-ted in som e calling hateful to them, or comp elled to li \'e in a place or in a stvle th at th ey find unpleasant, Like the I~cn behind steel bars they do not know how to get free.

As I thought sad ly o f these suffcrin g br ethren of mine, it seemed to me the prayel' written for persons behind bars woul d be a fine prayer for them to pray al­so. Thi s is the "Prisoner's Prayer" :

" LOonl, make and keep me free frOll! cvery evil habit. I will do all 1 can to break th eir power ovcr me. :\Iake me to hate impure thought s and und ea n words. Enable me to really love c\'eryhody. Let me see the great beauty there is in everythin g God mad e. :\Iake my face shine with the grea t peace and joy in my heart. Through my gentle wa ys and kind words make the ~in­ners about me want the peace You gi\'e me, PUt into my mouth w1 se words to guide in<luirin g sinners, to Je sll s, :\Iake me the lig ht of li fe to mallY ill this place. Use me this day and ('very day to do what You want done,

"I give You my self, my milld, my body, ami all r have, Keep 111e here as long as You need me here. \Vhell 1 am ~o com pl etely free from my bad habit s and evil thoughts that they can never again overcome me, and when I can do more for You out side than in here, open the pri son doors and let me out. 1 love You and You love me. Fill me full o f Thyself, and make me happy and COIl­tented here or anywhere You lIlay pllt me, r cOllle to You hy the direction of J esus who ~ave I lis life for me on the Cross. because H e loves me so."

The prisoners arc urged to p~ay this prayer three limes every day, morning, 110011. and night. It seems to me if the reader would cut out thi s " P risoner's Prayer" .mel paste it on a ca rd so il cotild he presen'ed, and

A working man that night told the ~imple

story of a Saviour's love, but the close of his address found me, as at th e begi1lllill~, still dreading the wrath of God, I scemed ri\'eted to my scat and could not risc when thc meeting di"lI1issed. 1 waited a ll, lI11til v'meone came to point me Christ wards, For a 101l~ time we talked together, but J ,!;ecmed chained with doubls. ~ever did 1 rcalizc IX'fo re h!")w thoroughly I wa s ~atan\ captive.

The Oealh of Saul Lesson for S("ptollbcr 25. Lesson Text:

I Samuel 31. The Adrift Qrwrtufy gives a little review

of the life of King Saul. We quote: "The record of the bcg-irtnirrg of Saul'~ reign revtals a noble and luvable dmracter. Ilurnility, nrodl'~ty, seH-rc~tr"irrt, fouragc, and generosity rrrark his altitude and aftiorh. The first year of his reign was the happiest. Saul's be­ginning-s sugJ.:est the following lnsons: that a man may experiellce divine in-fluence and yet fling it away;

:'\otlrin.:; could be more untrue. Suicide is cowardly, and utte rly selfi,>h. Let the person who is tempted to commit ~uicide remember the foremost example of self-de~truction-Judas ISl'ariot and then let him ask himself the \IUc~ti()ll, "Do I \\i~h to put myself in Judas Iscariot's class? Do I wish to join him in the place of tIle e,'er lastingly condemned?"' Read ~l:itl. 27 :3-10. Reading this' JXl~sage, wc dis­t'mer that p(10r Judas sought refuge in dl'ath to eseapc the p.;urgs of a remorsef ul con~cience,

man's sensitive spirit, di~elllbodied, unsheathed of the cnamd of his body, is C)(j)l)sed for all eternity, to the pangs of consciencc, the winds of condemnation, and "there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Some ycars after con­demning Christ to death, an act which he did selfishly, to save his official !)Osition, and prevent his recall by C;c~ar, he was recalled none the less, and demoted. L"nhapl)Y, in­consolable, traclitioll declares, he walked the mOuntains of his nativc Italy, his accusing conscience gi"ing him rlO re~t. Finally hc com­mitted the last cowardly, selfish, desp.:rate act hy flinging hirn~clf OVl'r a prl'cipin: in the Alps-to keep Judas, ami the unrepentant thief COmpany for all cttrrlity! Suicide is no

escape from the con:;cquence of a misspCnl life: rather it hastens and make inevitable punishment for the life misspent.

Suicide is Iro /?Scap., no refuge, fremr the frown of an outraged God; rather it thrusts us im­pudently, uninvikd. before om apl>ointed time, into Ili s awful prc~ence. "ft is a fea rful thing to fall into the hands of the liv­ing (;Ild.'· Dayid knew this, wilen the cnemy whispered to him to "end it a ll." \Vhal did David !(ay? "Whither shall I go from Thy spiri t ? or wl4ither shall I flee from Thy \lre~e!1("c? If I a~("er1d uj) into hC'a\"en, Thou art there: if I make my bed in hell (commit suicide), behold Thou art there. If l say. Surely the darkness shall OWCT me; even the llight shall be light about me." Psalm 139 :7-12.

Srlf Im/ri/gella {,ods 10 Self­lJrslnlc/ioll. By this we do 110t mean that all sclf-indulgent peo­))lc commit suicide, although sui­cide is a real mark of selfish­ness, for the person committing the act, selfi.shly disregards the grcat suffering, the harm, the many evil conSe(IUellCes, which fall upon others from his action. But sclf-will :Ind self-indulgence lead to the eternal dest ruction of the individual. ] low dearly the life of Saul demonstrates this. lie disregarded the Lord's advice; Irc di~rcgarded Sa muel's :Idvice; he slew tire !wiests who could have advised him and counseled him; he asserted his self will all along tire line o f his stormy career. To lhe lasl, he asserted uti rather t han die at the hands 01 another, and so he killed himself.

O l lrrrs. "For none of us liveth to himself, and no Illall dieth to himsel f. " Rom. 14 :7. Our living and our dying always involves (llfrers. Saul's self-will caused

the l r iunrph of the enemy all this field of batt le. Providence used the enemy as the instrument fo r Saul's punishment. But how Illany othcrs had to suffer along with Saul I All of Israel had to suffer the ignominy of defeat. T hou­sauds of men had to !oloe their lives, and their families had to suffer their loss. The noble J onathan, and two of his brothers, al1 had to dre, along with their rebellious father. T ruly, "none dietil unto himself." If, when we are tempted to sin, to indulg..: self , we could only rcal ize how many others our act wou ld harm, what a !)Owerfu\ dllerrcnt this reali­zation would be. Fir~t of all it would gr ieve the heart of the Saviour: next it would br ing grief and suffering to ou r families, our loved ones, 01lT Jonatharrs: next it would pain our fr iends; and, since Ollr example and infl uence (;OnIllS, our sci f -indulgence would tend to infect others in a similar way. Truly sin is sd/islr.

S il icide. There is a false idea, implanted by Satan, that ~uicide is a courageous act.

but such ?ction is a dreadful mistake. Conscience, which mcn can hardcn, deaden, dull, in this life by such narcotics as pleasurc, alcohol, and other sins, is never morc sensi­ti\'e :lIld fully awake. than it is after death. Judas thrust h:mself from a modcrately l):1il1-ful state of conscience, in this life, into an il1tensc\y paiuful state of COllscieuce in the life af ter death. There the soul, unsheathed from its coarse, insensitive flesh is exposcd, like the nerve of a broken tooth, to the ":Ollsequences of a life of sin. \Vhen a tooth IS sOlll1d, the delicate, sensitive nerve, is sircatlll'd irr an outer coating of strong enamel. The enalllel we may liken to the body; the nerve we may liken to the spi r it. Take the nerve out of the tooth, and the tooth will die. "The spi r it gi \'eth life." Death comes to the body when the spi rit depa rts. Brcak that outer enamel, cxpose the living ncrve, to even a mild breath of air, and we feel intense agony. Tha t ncrve, disembodjed, is trelll('lldously sensitive. 1n the same manner,

Lon Thai Is Irrctrievable. SUiCi(ie does dreadful harm to the l>Cfj>ctrator It harms the body, yes, but infinitely more, it harms Ihc soul for eternity. "Do thy­self no harrn," cried Paul (Acts 16 :27, 28) to the jailor, who was about to commit suicide in the Jllanner of K ing Saul. Paul meant that marc tlran the jailor's physical self would be harmed by the misdced . lie meant that

he, i. c., his spirii, would suffcr fo r all eternity for such a rash act. What should you think of a person who would deliberately set a bomb under tire beautiful temple of the Supreme Court Building at \Vashirlgton, D. c., or the Lincoln Memoria!? An unforgi":Ible act of yanda lism, you would say, to destroy these priceless temples! But our body is a fa r more wonderful temple than thrse. "\Vhat? know ye not that your body is the tcmple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, (!'lrd ye ore I rot yorrr o'WII? For ye arc bought with a price: therefore glorify God ill J,'ol!r bod)1, and in your spir it, wh ich a re God's." I Cor. 6 :1 9, 20. Again: "Know ye not that ye are tlrc temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwcllcth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him sl1all God destroy; for the temple of God is hoiy, which temple ye are." 1 Cor. 3: 16, 17.

~onal Saviour, a coming Deliveref, all the world seems dark and full of despair. }"fcl1 arc "without hope and withou t God in the world." Each year ill the Un it ed Slates 20, -000 to 25.000 perso11S commit suicide. in thei r hOllcles~ness and despair. In Euro(>C in a rcccnt year fifty thousand persons committed the unforgivable act of self-murder. as they saw Ilothil:g but wars, rUl110rs of w:tr~. and the bloody tyranny of hystt.'fical dictators, Ilfcssing in upon them. All these poor souls sOI:ght refuge in Death, ill ~ tead of seek:llg refuge in Ch rist- the ResllrrectioT1 and the Life. It is to be ('xlX'ctcd that men and women who arc st rangers to the say ing grace of Ch rist, Illay in increasing numbers be tt'mptt'd to thi s rash act. as thelie last d::tys grow darker and darker with world st rife <:o nd struggle. Therefore ICI us as Christians show to tempt ed, discouraged soul s their true Light and H ope, and cry with Paul, "])0 thy­~clf TlO harm. ,Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. and thou shalt be s:\\'ed." Yea rs ago as a man lay upon his dea thbed, a faithful Chri~tiaTl fri end sat beside him, alld cndcavor­cd to make his last momcnt, cfll1fortablc.
