Elyse her genesis. In order to
study the marvelous multiplying
power of Methodism let us anelyze
the conditions al toidant upon hor
Myth. We 1111181 find upon what
troublous waters her cradle Waft
rocked ruld search out the placo of
hey infancy, ovea as the Egyptian
princess found the future onancipa-
tor of the Hebrew race slecping in a
willow basket, among the bulrushes
of the river Nile. Every great
movement in history has been the
product of the condition of the lime
of its birth, God in his providence
hes ordained that the prevalence of
unrighteousness in a nation shall so
stir the souls of his people that they
will gather in his name around the
standard of some leader whom he
raises up to witness for him.
NO COMPROMISE WITH SIN.
My brother, it, is of vital impor-
tance that all Protestant cherches
realize that they are making a fatal
error when they In any way coin.-
prqmiso their high spiritual sten-
dards by alliance with sin. The
higher the standard of the Christian
church the greater will be ite suo-
cess. We do not need to -day church-
es that honor winebibbling ministers.
We do not need churches which, when
they have a church sociable, tell
their young people they may drum°
and play cards. Wo do not desire
churches whose members in their
every day actions are nowise differ-
ent from the people of the world.
Ono or the reasons why the Christian
Endeavor society, of which Francis
E. Clark is the president, is number-
ing its members by the hundreds of
thousands and the 11111110110 is be-
cause of its ironclad ple.E.. John

and the Methodist church, lift this
world out of in by making Your
Christian standard as high as heaven
erol as pure as Christ lehreelf. "It
is the inward witness, snn, the in-
ward witness -this is tho strongest,
proof of Christianity." It is: the in -
Ward witnese of the purity or its
members which accounts for the
tiplying powers of the Methodist
church of to -day. Methodism came
into the world as a protest against
prevalent sin.

the sterY• of its marvelous multiply-
ing power. 'More ore many other

sermons, but, mere and neoro the

need nsen and women who in the
11111111e, homely langunge of the street
can tell what God has clone for their
stmts. We need our prayer meetings
to be frilly "people's meetings," in
which all take part, n, place whore
the old folks will testify, and the
middle aged people will testify, and
where the young people will testify.
THE "CLASS SYSTEM."
Wo see the value of individual re-
sponsibility in the temporal world.
Why should we not see the same re-
sults from. the "class system" of
Methodism? Your boy is about six-
teen years of ago. Where are you
going to send the lad to college?
"Well," you say, "I would like in
mcmy ways to send him to one or
our great univeeeities, 11111 11111 trou-
ble is I am afraid. There the boy
will only I..e lost among a crowd of
hundreds of othc.r students, and no
one will bo intlil ideally responsible
for the lad. I tbink I shall send 11101
to one of our Assailer colleges, where
he w;11 come in close contact with
his teachers, and' these teachers will
be able to keep their eye upon him."
You send eour• boy to a small col-
lege to secure the individual touch
of a professor upon the boy.
Now, the "class system" of Mello-
dism has a double purpose -first, it
makes the 'Methodist convert a mem-
ber of a great gospel. university in
which there are hundreds of thou-
sands end millions of members ancl it
gives to that convert the enthusiasm
P11111) truly conies from great num-
burn, and, secondly, it separates the
Methodist cons:ert from the masses.
It pltsces 111.111 in a gospel family for
which some ono is responsible. It
gives to him n separate, gospel gar-
den in which to labor. It says: "Old
convert, you 1001: after that young
1111111 and that young 0l'01110.11. Visit
them in 111011. homes. Soo that they
have the rig•lit kind, of conmanimiship.
When they are abSellt from the house
of Clod halm why they are absent
and tell them that they aro missed."
Individual respousibilitles for inclivid-
'hals-tbat is the great multiplying
slogan of the :Methodist "class sys-
tem" For whom, 0 Christian Man,
are you responsible in Christ's nestee?
The Methodist church, in the next
place, is 11. einging church, whoso
eongs aro nearly alegsys keyed to the
tune of hope and joy and the glorious
harmonica of a blessed hereafter, It
is a church wheels music is filled with
halleluiah chnrouetts and battle
hymns and ineniriug marching melos

that our thanks and gratitude for
blessings received van bo returned to
God as won when stending mioil our

TO PRESERVE YOUR SHOES.
Never try to wear a shoe too small
or that does not fit When you first
pit it on.
There is no misery more distracting
than a, shoe that hurts the foot.
Never let your shoes get hard and
dry. Don't let them rim over.
Don't let the heels run down.
Don't dry a, wet shoe till you have
rubbed it well with a flannel cloth
and then with vaseline.
Never put shoes near the stove.
Half a peck of oats, kept in a small
box, will be the very cheapest and
best filling for a wet shoe. Fill the
shoe and shake the oats down, after
having rubbed and oiled it, and set
in a dry place to dry gradually.
When dry pour the oats back for
further use.
Take a wet rag and wash the shoo
at least 01100 a week, and oil over-
night to keep in good condition.
Never handle patent leather until them which of them should. be
