There was n greabiegash in the outer

by a passing tug, and, Inc a breathless

On September 25th, the Ulidia slid
out of dry dock and down a narrow

And get all out of life that you can,

The Moulding of Christian Character
"That which we have seen and
heard declare we unto you, that ye
also may have fellowship with us; and
truly our fellowship is with the
Father, and with his son Jesus Christ.
--Join 1, 3.
In the training of Peter and John
we have an example of the moulding
of Christian characters, The most
important part of the traihing and
education of these two apostles was
their association with the Master.
How infinitely true it was of all the
apostles, and particularly of Peter
and John, that for three years they
associated with Jesus Christ and so
not only learned of Ilnm but uncon-
sciously became .strong through that
association! That people with ,whom
they came in contact realized this is
shown by that great verse in the bank
of The Acts (Acts iv:13): "When
they saw the boldness of Peter and
John, and perceived that they wear,
unlearned anti ignorant men, they
marveled; and they took knowledge of
them that they had been with Jesus."
No amount of education or experience
can fit men for life and service if this
personal association with Jesus Christ
through prayer and Bible and com-
munion is omitted. This is especially
true for those who are preparing to
be ministers of the gospel; but it is
true also for all who are in any hind
of social' service. Indeed, it Is true
for all kinds of business. Only as we
gain power and wisdom and love
through our fellowship with Christ
can we have success in living and
working.
We can note three leading charac-
teristics of this training. The first was
its intensely practical character.
Peter and John learned how to do the
work of their lives by watching Christ
and sharing as they were able in His
work. They were to tell men every-
where of the love of God, and this tell-
ing was to be through both deeds and
words. When Jesus bade then, follow
Him, He meant the literal coring
after Him and seeing and hearing
Him. They were to "learn how" by
noting -how He spoke and acted. 1
Foundation for Christian Work.
Again, this training had the charac-
teristic of love—love for God, love
from God, love of all God's children,
love of the work to which the apostle
were called. This fourfold love is

was the key to unlock the problems
of life and of their ministry,
And there we ha\re the foundation

is, must be built, I am au antreined

Him. And my work even then is im-
perfect unless I love all men and love
any work for them. And the wonder

ing the Master bring a glad day when
righteousness and peace should rule.
They know that no word or deed
spoken or done in His name could pos-
sibly fail: they were led on their way
by a light from the throne of God,
Training in School of Christ.
Perhaps this part of our training
is the hardest for us, for the years
have been long since Christs dear feet
trod the earth -ways, and the day of
earth's redemption still tarries. It is
hard to keep going when the vision
of final victory, clear though it is to
the eyes of :faith, does not seem to
come Dearer to us as we fight on, Yet
that is just the sector blessedness of
real training in the school of Christ.
Any one can grasp the treasure that
lies at his feet. When the enemy is
running away any kind of n soldier
can shout and pursue. To "fight the
good fight of faith" demands sterner
ste f. The eyes Hurst be wide open
and he must see afar who is about
the Ring's business. To know that
labor is not in vain, to hear the angels
sing when the clouds hang low, to
watch the banner on the distant
mountain -top while the battle rages
on the plain below, to leeep the heart
beating with joy though tears `fall
from the eyes—this proves a servant
well-trained in the Lo -rd's service.
And who, indeed, can hope to "follow
after" unless he has such training?
The world needs no half-hearted mes-
sage from an uncertain and distressed
messenger who has no clear truth to
proclaim. In its struggle with ad-
versity the soul of man cares not for
one who can but sigh and pity. Na-
tions and men demand assurance in
word and countenance when civiliza-
tion and Christianity are preached to
them. The loan of God has his head
in the sunshine while his feet aro on
the earth, and his voice, tuned in
Heaven, proclaims, as his Master bids
th,e good news of battle finally won-,
peace absolutely assured, Satan con-
quered forever, and Heaven gained.
Such training may the dear Christ
grant us all, that we may do for our
day and generation what Peter and
John did for theirs, --"Rev. F. W. Tom-

I won't soon forget the car whidlt

some unknown reason we neglected to
Insure. et never occurred to us that
it was not ensured until one day it
was stolen in a nearby city. Although
the loss was not a eevere one, it was

mune to the bands of thieves who sys-

acquisitions in large cities or out-of-
