Theie is open the part of life to -day a growing need of becoming silent. It was never e more needed on the part of the church and business life than now, "Be still and know that I am God." Peter and John were not learned men, but Pet- er preached with effect on the Day of Pentecost. John wrote a gospel of light and love. They were men of large vision and strong faith and be- longed to the aristocracy of grace. Sensitiveness is a law of the body and mind, also of the soul. There are those to -day who are sensitized to to jealousy, selfishness, suspicion, deceit, falsehood and avarice. What is the cure P Right about face; a turning from these evils and facing the finer forces of life, How can we become immune to these evils ?. In the same way as the diseipiee ; "They had been with Jesus." They had be- come sensitized to Christ, Before we can become of service Inc Christ, we must partake of the fragrance of "the Rose of Sharon," by communion with Christ. We should become sensitized toward reverence for life and toward Olu•ist's obedience. It is the same obedience we need if we are to follow Him. We mast be sensitized with His adventurous spirit. We must reach out into higher and greater en- deavor ; sensitized by Hie spirit of prayer, of sympathy and love. The desciples were successful in their work for the kingdom because "they had been with Jesus," It is the life of the missionary that counts in foteiga lands. No matter how much ed- ucation a person may have, it wilt not be sufficient to cope with the evils of to -stay, unless the life is sens- itized toward God. It must be said of us as of the disciples, "They have been with Jesus and learned of Him." In the evening, the s-thject was "The Romance of the Radia," The texts were Job 15 : 8, "Hest thou heard the secret of God ?" and Mark 16 : 15, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel."
