strengthened( by Him,
And there are •.diversities of min-
istrations, and the same Lord.
"Ministrations" are gifts in action, and
of course they are as diverse and :num-
crone as are the gifts themselves; but
the same divine Lord from Whom the
gifts came directs the employment of
them. The Christian worker is in His.
hands at every turn,
And there are diversities of . work-
ings, but the same God, Who work-
eth all things in all. "Workings" are
"activities brought to effect"; they
are the gifts embodied in the services,
and regarded from the point of view
of the power in them.
But to each one is given the mani-
festation of the Spirit to profit withal.
Note in the first place that in these
verses the three persons of the Trio-
ty are mentioned in close connection,
and the doctrine is all the more con-
vincingly set forth because incidentally
showing how intimately it was inter-
woven with Paul's thinking. In the
second place note that the Spirit is
given to each Christian not to be hid-
den, not for secret communion only,
but to be manifested, shown to men
in His blessed activities, for their
comfort, admonition, and guidance.
And note in the third place that the
object of the Spirit's presence, and
of the Christian's manifestation of the
Spirit in his life, is the profit of men.
But desire earnestly the greater
gifts. Some gifts—it is folly to deny
it—are greater than others. Every
gift is honorable, and equal fidelity
in the use of all gifts is equally hon-
ored and rewarded by the Giver of
gifts. We are not to be discontented
with the gifts that have fallen to our
share, nor to try to rise above the
work which God has marked out for
us; but we are to be very sure that
we are doing our best. Many a Chris-
tian is disgracefully satisfied with a
silent life when he might make his
helpful contribution to the prayer
meeting. Many a Christian lets his
friend remain outside the church
when a few earnest words from him
might make his friend a Christian.
And moreover a most excellent way
show I unto you. These words real-
ly belong to the next chapter, for the
"most excellent way" is always of
love. "Love was the secret which
could reconcile an ardent desire for
the best gifts with contentment with
what one had; which could harmon-
ize the various powers of the individ-
ual members of the church for the
general good."

DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS
Now there are diversities of gifts,
but the same spirit. A "gift" is a
special ability for service, such as the
gift of public prayer, the gift of sing-
ing, social gifts, the gift of sympathy,
the gift of teaching, gift of organiza-
tion and administration. These may
have been present in a life before con-
version, and at conversion have been
dedicated to Christ and enriched and

ness, of politeness." $eeketh not its
own. Paul had already expressed his
opinion that the Christian should not
be forever standing up for his own
rights, seeking his own advantage.
He should be striving for the profit
and advancement of others, and they
in turn are quite certain to take care
ofhis progress in all good things. Is
not provoked. The Christian will op-
pose evil but he weakens his cause
when he makes his opposition to
wrong a matter of personal anger and
pique. He is to hate wrong but love
the wrongdoer. Taketh not account
of evil. Love will not bear a grudge;
It will not say, "I will forgive but I
will not forget."
Rejoiceth) not in' righteousness, ;but
rejoiceth with the truth. Love is
heart and soul and every true cause,
because only as such causes triumph
will mankind, whom it loves so ard-
ently, be happy and prosperous.
Beareth all things. This does not
mean that love bears without protest
and active opposition the affronts and
injuries under which others suffer; it
would not be love if it bore those
with meekness and patience. Believ-
eth all things.. Love does not believe
what it knows to be lies. But love is
not suspicious, it is eager to believe
the best of every one, it would rather
be deceived now and then than go
through the world doubting his bro-
ther men. Hopeth all things. Love
of men hopes for their success and.
happiness in the future, as it believes
the best of them in the present. En-
dureth all things. There will be much
to try love's belief in men and hope
for men, but' love continues patiently
to believe and hope just the same in
spite of it all.
Love never faileth These words
sum up all that has gone before.
But whether there ;be prophecies,
they shall be done away. The pro
phecie which are visions of the fut-
ure will be at an end when that fut-
ure arrives. Whether there be ton-
gues, they shall cease. In the per-
fected life we shall have modes
of expression and of communication
which will altogether supersede our
confused, multiplied, and clumsy lan-
guages on earth. Whether there be
knowledge, it shall be 'done away.
Incomplete knowledge shall be done
away; and many of its objects will
drop and much of what makes the
science of earth will be antiquated
and effete.
But now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three. "But now" might be
translated "so then"; Paul sums up
the great chapter in the following
words. "Abideth" is singular though
it has three subjects, because Paul
would have us regard the three as
al unit, just as the Holy Trinity is a
unit, hope and love both proceeding
out of faith. And love abides, be-
cause love is the very atmosphere and
essence of heaven, for heaven is God,
and God is love. And the greatest of
these is love. "Love is the great-
est because it is likest God, it in-
terprets God, it makes us like God,
it is the end of redemption, and is
therefore most beautiful and most
peaceful,"
LOVE, THE GREATEST GIFT
If I speak with the tongues of men
and angels. The tongues of angels
may refer to the "unspeakable words,
not lawful for man to utter," which
Paul heard when "caught up into Par-
adise." But have not love. Many a
statesman, preacher, Sunday -school
teacher and prayer -meeting speaker
have little or no hold upon their audi-
ences; they don't have them. I am be-
come sounding brass, or a clanging
symbol. That is, mere empty sound,
such as that produced by the gongs
and cymbals so much used in the
heathen temples.
And if I have the gift of prophesy.
Power to foretell the future power,
to speak forth mighty religious truths
the greatest intellectual power
vouchsafed to men, that of an Isaiah
or a Phillips works. And know all
mysteries and all knowledge. This is
not a gift separate from that of pro-
phecy, but is the basis and source of
it in its two aspects. And if I have
all faith, so as to remove!, mountains.
Paul knew of our Lord's saying that
even the least amount of faith, faith
as small as a mustard seed, would
suffice to move a mountain and pitch
it into the sea. But have not love, I
am nothing. Love alone allies a man
with God and gives divine significan-
ce to what he says and does.
And if I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, The sentence is lit-
erally, "If I give away all my prop-
erty in. mouthfuls," doling it out to
prolong as far as possible the exhibi-
tion of my beneficence. And if I give
my body to be burned. Paul imag-
ines himself reaching the highest
pitch of self -devotion, a martyrdom
by fire. But have not love, it profit-
eth me nothing. The ends of ambi-
tion may be attained, but how transi-
tory and hollow they arel
Love suffereth 1onk, and is kind.
Thus far Paul has set forth the ne-
cessity for love, how little can be ac-
complished by the Christian without
it; now he passes to the picture of
love in action, what love will do in a
human life, Love envieth not. Why
should love envy? He enjoys seeing
others possess good things and win
high honors even more than he would
enjoy them for himself. Love vaunt-'
eth not itself, is not puffed up. Love
is engrossed in admiration of the ex-
cellencies of others, and has no time
or inclination to admire its own fine
qualities, or even to recognize them.
13oth not behave itself unseemly.
The meaning of the Greek' is perhaps
better expressed hi English positively
than negatively; "Love is the founda-
tion of good manners, of gracious -

THE DESIRE FOR SPIRITUAL
GIFTS.
Paul was a great prophet, that is,
preacher—the greatest of all pro-
phet -preachers. It is natural that he
should value prophesying; if he had
not valued it, he could not have ex-
ercised the gift so mightily.

WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS BANK.
Curious Privileges Attached to "Old
Lady of Threadneedle Street."
That the Bank of England, which
is to take over the responsibility for
the currency supply of the whole
kingdom, occupies a unique position
is no news to the man in the street;
he is justly proud of the institution
and its power in the itnancial coun-
cils of the world, says Tit -Bits.
But he is probably unaware of
some curious privileges that attach
to the famous "Old Lady of Thread-
needle Street,"
If, for instance, he has ever asked
his own banker for a bank draft in
the ordinary form, but payable, for
convenience, to "bearer," the expres-
sion of horror that appears on the
cashier's face will inform him of
some gross 'faux pas. Such a docu-
ment would in fact be virtually a
banknote, and therefore an infringe-
ment under all sorts of dire penalties
of the Bank of England's monopoly.
Apart from such technical matters,
however, the "Old Lady" breaks out
In quite unexpected directions. She
has her own guard of soldiers, whose
nightly march from barracks is one
of the minor sights of London.
Each man gets a shilling pay from
the directors, N.C.O.'s half a crown.
The officer in charge is provided with
an excellent dinner by the bank, in-
cluding, by ancient rule, two bottles
of wine, but only one extra bottle
for the two guests he is privileged
to invite.
So far all in in keeping with the
traditional dignity of the bank. But
•--it could turn to the unromantic oc-
cupation of running a brewery if it
wished. B the original Charter of
1694 the bank is permitted to brew
beer not merely for staff consump-
tion, but for public sale without li-
cense. Or it might, as an alternative,
turn to pawnbroking, which the
terms of the Charter are wide enough
to cover.....
