SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Zion, baste, thy, mission high fnl-
filling,
To tell to all the world that Ged
„is light;
That He who made all nations is not
willing
One soul should perish, lost in
shades of night,
Behold how many thousands still are
lying
Bound in the darksome ptison-
house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Satr-
• iour's dying,
• Or of the life He died for them
to win,
Proclaim to ,eyery people, tongue and
nation
That God, in whom they •live and
• move, is Love;
Tell how He stooped to save His lost
creation,
And died on earth that man might
live above.'

S. S. LESSON FOR OCT. 28
Lesson Missionary
Teachings of the Prophets.
Leeson Passage—Isa. 60:1-3; Jon-
ah 4:ra, It; Micah 4:x -i; Ztph. 3:9.
Golden Text—Isa. 60:3.
Isaiah was commissioned by God
to show his people their transgres-
sions: "Cry aloud, spare not; lift up
thy voice like a trumpet, and shew
my people their transgression, and the
.
1101.1C ef r ' their ales."
Gad saw alYtheir sins and that "their
iniquities had withholden good things
from them," but for his own name's
sake he promised that a "Redeemer
shall come to Zion.' He niad.e a cov-
enant with his church, saying, "As
for me, this is ney co-venant with them,
/sky spirit that is -upon thee, and my
words which I have put in thy mouth
shall non -depart out of my mouth, nor
• out' of the mouth of thy Seed, nor Out
of the mouth of thy seed's seed, from
henceforth and forever" (60:i-3). In
these verses there is a call to action.
God, having given his promise that
the church should be enlightened and
shined upon, in spite of the gross
• darkness of irreligion covering, the
• earth, calls upon his peoPle to spread
the gospel; light. He then gives them
the promiee that great additions shall
be made to his church for "the Gen-
• tiles shall come to thy light, and
kings to`the brightness of thy rising"
• (verse 3). Those who 'have the gos-
pel, the children of light, ought to
• shine *as lights in the world that
those phiCes of gross heathen darkness
those parts of the earth that a.re full
of the habitations of cruelty may see
the glorious light of the Sun of
Righteousness so that they may come
• to 'thy light" and their' kings.to the
• 'brightness of thy rising." All who
have accepted Christ as their redeem-
er are in duty bound to give to others
that same - knowledge that brought
• them out of darkness into light—
"Arise, shine."
Jonah 4:10: it., We have here a
lesson from the rapid growth, and
as rapid destruction, of the gourd
which sheltered Jonah from the heat
of the sun. God wished to convince
_ Jonah that he was very wrong in
• murmuring at his sparing Nineyell.
Jonah said "I did -well to be angry."
but he couldn't prove it. God did
prove that he did well to spare Nine-
veh.' It was a. great city, having in
prevails it makes men gentle and
ing of the gospel. for whatever it
eesy to be entreated. No matter how
far-off that day may appear to be it is
certain of _fulfillment for the mouth of
the T.,ord has spoken it, "Nation shall
not lift up sword' against nation, nei-
ther shall they learn war any more."
Zeph. 3:9—After the captivity there
•was need for a reformation of the
language of the Jews, for "their ',chil-
dren spalce half in the speech of Ash-
dod, and could not speak in the Jews'
language, but according to the lans
gauge of each people." (Jett 13:24)•
That is not all. It must be purified of
all unclean words that they may call
upoit the tiaine'ef the Lord. In order
that the words of our mouth and the
meditation of our hearts may be ac-
ceptable unto God, our language must
be pure, • We read in the Epistle bf
Jamenis "Out of the same mouth pro-
ceedeth blessing and cursing. My
brethren these things ought not so to
be. Doth' a fountain send forth at the.?
same place sweet water and bitter?"
• (James 3:10 -II). Thus their language
being purified they serve God "with
one consent." "Purity is the way to
unity, the reformation of manners the
way to comprehension; the wisdom
from above is first pure, then peace-
able." -

It is now being sung in some quart-
ers as a sort of "Roundelay." I beg
to reply to my friends indictment,
with, yoer permission as follows ;
My parents, quite unintentionally,
hope gifted me with much more high-
ly strung nerves, than perhaps as it
has turned out, were good for me.
Had I had any say in the matter, or
any foreknowle,dge of the kind of
world I was going to be obliged lo
live in, and the shabby treatment
awaiting the brand of nerves saddled
upon me; wolild have chaser', had I

•nerves best fitted to survive in our
present everyday atmosphere-, which
is einbagrassing to almost any kind of
them are brass 'nerves. If. we cannot
have the brass variety, as, things are,
we had better have none at all. But
as the human body must suffer nerves
or perish, I should not, I take it throw
stones at mine, but •an the .,contrary,
t'reastire, yea even, coddle them. Still
I am constrained to say -high strung
nerves have a trick ,of backing you in-
to tight corners. Mine not • only

tion,, destroyed my Most hallowed il-

These same troublesome, and trou-
hle-begetting nerves urged Me to

ready fallen upon me as a result. My
