to all? "Ans. "Cast away from you

all your transgressions; * * for Ihave no pleasu re in the death of him

that dieth, saith the Lord God; where-

tore turn youl"8elves and live ye." Eze.

18:31, 3'2.-Bihle Students' Library.

Limiting God.

II. Kings 13:18, 1\}; II. Kings 5:1, 2.

THE power that God has given to

. man w hIch G od recognizes in

his dealings with man in Psalm 78;

Numbers 14:11, is that they limited

the Holy One of Israel.

The attitude of the human heart to

God mayor IDay not limit the devel

ment of God's power. The attitude of

unbelief limits; tbe attitude of faith

does not limit. Abraham limited the

power of God in mercy to the cities of

the plains. W hen he asked God to

spare the people if there were fifty

righteous. He continued asking until

he descended to ten, and then ceatred

to ask withont. any indication from

God that his merciful power would not

even descend lower than ten.

Abraham ceased to intercede when

he reached the limit of his faith in the

mercy of God.Tn the tt'xt ,Joash limited the vie

tori,)lJs power of God by smiting three

times when he -ought to ha\'e smitten

five or six times. How so.))} we grow

weary in pro\-ing God!

2. The reason why man limits the

develo]Jull'ns of G'od'~ ]Jower is because

he judges God by hiJmelf, and God is

not as man [Isaiah 40:18 28; 46:5;

Nil Ill. :!:UH, 20.] Men of faith suf-

fer because of the unbelief of their

companions, though God always reo

wards them in the end. Caleb andJoshua endured the wonderings of Is-

rael in the wildernesR, though had suf-

ficient faith to enter the promised

land. Long afterward God brought

them in.

Moses at the rock, Peter walking

npon the water in obedience to the

Lord's "Come," fixed his eyes upon the

boisterous wind and sank; teaching us

that faith always weakens wheu we

look to circumstances [Matt. ]t:iH;

Eccl. 11:4]. Moses faBet'! when God

promised to be with his 1I101lth;there-

tilre Aarou had to become his \1)outh

piece. David failed when he number-

ed Israel to fiud out his humau

strength.

3. Men who do not fail in the C\-it.

ical moment are conquers tilT a lite

time. Abraham did not fail when

God asked him to kill the only llppltr-

ent possibility of the fulfillment of his

promise in his son ISlluc. The WOllllln

of Caanan did not fail when God told

her she was a dog. She rcplied,

"Truth, Lml, I' ll tllke the dog's

crumbs;" and her faith made her vic-

torions.

t 'Ve may limit the )lower of nod

by looking at the circumstances of theheathen world withont God. South

America, with fllrty milliolls of soul!~

aud about four hUJ)(lred missiollllries;

Africa, with her two hundred milliolls

of souls, llnd IIb.outtwo millions reach-

ed by tha gospel; Arahia, with her

eleven millious of souls, largely un

reached; Persia, with her eight mil-

lions of souls; India, with her two hun-

dred and seventy millions of sonIs, has

only about twen ty-ninc millions reach-

ed by the ~08pel.

Malaysia with her thirty millionsann scarcely touched; Thihet with her

eight or teu millious; Tonking with

her twenty-two milliolls; Auam with

her eight millions, and so fur as we

know, not a Prote8tant alllong them;

ChilJa with her four hundn'tl millions,

and l(';>sthan thre(' tlUII\Slllld mission-

aries, Japan with her tilrty luill\()ns

and only ahout forty tlwuSlllH! Clil-is-

tians.

In looking at thel'lCllre we not in-

clined to stop striking the arrows on

the ground when Gon hids us strikeuutil complete victory is ginn the

gospel as a witnelOSis achie\Oed?

5. " r I' have two great commandsfrom God and one question: First

command, "Pruy" [Matt. 9:;W , :{ X .]Is the church of' the dt'ltl' Lord obey-

ing thi8 command? Is she UpOIl her

face beseaching the Lord to send f()rtn

laborers, 01' is she contenting herself

with sayiJIg, "Who is sufficient 101'

these things?" or consnming her en-

ergy upon herself?

Second command iil"GoI" [Matt.

28:19,20.] Is the church of the dear

Lord Jesus obeying this cOlllmand?

Is she sending the gospel to the heath-

en world? 13she not spending moreon the pride of the eye in chnrch dec

omtions than in spreading the blessed

t.rnth of Christ?

Every child of God is a seed. Je-

sus said the good seed are the children

of the kingdom; and the seed of the

living ministry must be planted among

the beathell in order that there may

be a harvest. W I'may distribute lit.

erature and fail to produce the desired

resull.i'. "Faith cometh by hearing,

and hearing by the 'V ord of God."

"A nd how shall they believe in Him

of whom they have not heard? and

how shall they hear without a preacher

and how shall they preach except

they be sent?"

lIere we understand the presence of

a living ministry in the prel!ence of the

ministry in the presence of the heathen,

in order of a knowledge of God and

faith in Jesus Christ. Hence, the

question of Rom. 10:15, "How shall

they preach except they be Rent?" It

is, therefilre, the solemn duty of the

church to ask who is responsible for

t.he sending of the gospel. Certainlynot, the world, because God does not

claim anything at their hand; there

[.'1'1', the responsibility of sending the

gospel to the heathen rests upon the

shoulders of God's children. Let us,

thercsore, ask ourselves if we have not

grown weary in smiting, and if that is

not the reason why the heathen have

1I0t received the knowledge of -Jesus

Christ, the Saviour of men.-Rev. D.

W .LeLachel/r.

Why pull down thy barns and "build greater?" Thou hast barns

enough-the bosom of the needy. The

houses of the widows, the months of

orphans.-St. AN/brost..

That sacred stream, thy Holy 'Vord,

Snpport our faith, our fear controls;

No dollar nOl' ten dollar a plate

banquet ever /.len'ed in the ". aldorf-Al.'toria was enj')yed by the banquet-

ers as was the dinner for the poor serv-

ed yesterday at the Di"ine Healing

Mission at the comer of Fourth and

Jackson streets.

FI'ench }lRlnP" did nnt appE>Ar on the

~enu. In tae. Lucre nllS no printed

menu and no need of one, for the good,

wholesome f.'od was there 011 the table

in front of the hungry people. The

dinner commt>nced at the fashionahle

hour of two o'clock, The hungry who

came before that time assembled in

the chapel next the dining room.

There were about three huudred there.

Boys and girls with patched "Il,thes

and pinched little face!.', huddled

around the /.ltoYe. Their eyt8 danced

at the prospect of a good warm meal

and all they could eat. Men and woo

men of all ages were there. They

were not a dt:'mon8trative, but kept

their eye8 on the door. When Rev.C. F. Parham, the minister in charge

of the Mi8sion, went into the room, the

children rush! d for him, "Is dinner

ready!" they yelled, After a wait

that 8eemed an age to the expectant

children, the doors of the dining room

were thrown open and the crowd

filed in.

The tables were burdened with good

things. Vegetable soup, sweet !llld

Irish potatoes, beallI.', tomatoell, corn,

cabbage, cold slaw, roast /lnd boiled

beet; chee!.'t',fi'llits alld IIUts, llOt milk,

bread allil hutter lIlade up the meal.

As the hungry people stood arouud the

tables Rev. Parham asked the hless-ing. It seemed long to the cl.ildrell,

but they tried to keep very (luiet. The

older people bowed their heads in

thanksgiving and llIany a fervent

"amen" followed the close of the hless

iug.

"Hi, Chimmy, look 'II de switzer."

said a little fellow as he /.lpied a plate

filled with cheese.

"An' look'e de sweet 'taters," said

another across the table.

EVt rybody had all he could eat, and

when the banqueters left the tahle

their plates were lIot empty; they had

been served so bountifully.

The Divine Healing Missioll WIIS

started a year ago hy Rev. Parham.

It is called "a home fl)r teaching di-

vine healing."

"\Vhere do you ,get the money to

carryon th;s work?" was asked.

"It comes fron: the Lord," was the

answer. "\Ve ask for nothing except

a contribution at the service on Sun-

day."

The expenses of the Mission are $1 : 'W

a month. The first floor is devoted tothe chapel, reading foom awl printing

shop. The rooms on the second floor

are for those who attend the Mission

to study divinl! healing.

"Don't confound liS with Christian

scientists," said Rev. Parham. "\Ve

ha"e no sylllpat,hy 01' cOllneetioll with

th'Ill."

The men, wonlt'u and children who

had their dinner there yesterday Were

certaiuly worthy. Whetller they are

absolutely destitute or Ilot, it is l'ertain

that the Illeal was far hetter than theyget every day, and it did them good.

t t tWe want to express our thallksgi\'-

ing to the Father for the abundance of

fi'od we received fool' the needy. 1t

seemed to increase as we handled it as

did the fi\'e loaves and two fishes of'

old. Most of it was given hy the at

tendants of the Mission, little outside

soliciting being done.

The puhlicutioll of''I'm; '\POWfOLIC

FAITH is a labor of' love as a work of

faith. "Vhat art: you doing to have a

share in it? \" e need your help.

t tMrs. A. S. Bowen made us a pleas-uut visit last week. Her home is in

Rochester, N. Y.
