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.

Like John Wesley 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. . This fn.ct alone does not tell all the the sterY• of its marvelous multiply- ing power.

What 'we need more and 31101'0 in the beginning of this -twon- 110111 century is not a better rem:ta- d ministry, but ono which will start forth a speaking and a testifying Pew. The sintple fact is some of our churthes aro being preached to death We need not more classical sermons, but, mere and neoro the good 0111 fashioned testimony meet- ings of Um 'Methodist church. 1Ve 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 dies, It is a chervil which believes that our thanks and gratitude for blessings received van bo returned to God as won when stending mioil our feet and, in the words of the pealm- ist, "singing (Into the Lotel," sts when on beetled knee em offer 1.110151 in eil- ant prayer in the closet.

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 you have warmed it. accounted the greatest (Luke xxii, Never wear goloshes with good 21.-24). It seems au almost Minos- siblo thing for believers to get whol- ly rid of some self seeking even in Christian work and to live to exalt tho Lord alone, but if filled with the Sprit He will see to it, for He al- ways glorifies Christ. was written by the prophets concern- ing Him, How strange to read that, although this seems to us so plain, "They understand none of these things!" Compare Matt. xx., 17-19, and Luke 81-34.
