The Herald, 1907-06-28, Page 3As Ye have Received, so Walk, Sleep, for the Master slept, To rest His weary head; Weep, for the Master wept, And mourned the silent dead. Pray, for the Master prayed, Who had no need of prayer; ;Sigh, for the Master sighed, L1 the light of another's care. Heal, for the Master healed, And cured deep-seated stain; Touch, for the elaster touched, With dignity and pain. Eat, for your Master ate, At holy festive board, And help your trembling feet To tread the heavenly road. Sing, for your Master sang, The deep triumphant song: Bring in the needy, bring A guilty, helpless throng. Sleep, for your Master slept, Dream of His crown and throne; Rise, in your sleepless might, And claim him for your own. 11. T. Miller. Beamsville. Ont. with the attraction of noble example and the energy of self -forgetful love. When we reflect and coneider care, fully, we may pen'haps diseover the pee. ple who have exerted the most decisive influence for good in, our own lives, and the way in which they have exercised 'in This will give us the clue to the secret of personal influence, Probably we shall find that our characters received their bent and stamp through the impressions made upon us at different times by a quite limited number of men and women. Probably they have affected us;not by their special gifts or abilities, but simply by their sheer goodness. Their faith be - carie acontagion to our souls. Their' ex- ample lasted as "an external conscience" —rebuking and convicting' and inspiring and confirming our consciences. Then lives made the great woods and truths of the Bible living and real to us.. They redeemed us to the Redeemer. In their faces we caught our first glimpse of the very countenance of Christ; revealed afresh in the lineaments of disciples Aho loved Him. The Porter. He is in danger of being forgotten. He comes before us now as the man who puts checks on our luggage, or the man who carries parcels. The original porter was different. I recall a scene of my boyhood. I first entered the Bay of Smyrna as a. cabin boy. One day I was in Asia sent ashore to deliver a parcel at the residence of a native mer- chant far uptown, and when I reached the place I made practical acquaintance with the porter, a well-dressed, comfort- able -looking man, who was impressed with thedignity of his office. I took in the scene. Here was the man and his dwelling, a comfortable bunk on the side of the portal was a part of the equipment; here he slept by night and 'watched by day. This portal was the only entrance. If a pail of ashes was taken out it did not escape Itis noeice; if a basket of fruit went in ror the master's table, it passed under the eye of the porter. All ingress and egress of persons and things passed with the ap- proval of the porter. I have read a few books in my day; I have had no such help to realize a scone so vividly as that one visit afforded me. The Master gives every man his wcrk and he commands the porter to watch (Mark xiii. 34). .,This simple attitude suffers no dim- inution in its transfer from Old Testa- ment to New Testament times.. The entrance to the dwelling in those olden times was absolutely one, like a sheepfold formed out of 'a cave. The per- , ter controlled the le stab]Cshment-tike. moat important and best trusted ser- vant of all. The Master says, "I am the door," the living, discriminating, absolute One. We are under -porters and we are command- ed to watch. What shall we let in at the portal of the soul? Truth in its purity, love in its simplicity, courage in its energy, hope with its lamp— all that makes for righteousness. With redoubled care we roust watch what cometh out. The floor of the portal is like that beach scene eo clearly set forth, dis- crimination, selection, dispersion—"They gathered the good fish and cast the bad away." Each believer must of necessity be a watcher. Constant fidelity, wonderful care, continuing instant in prayer. We must be armed for silent services if we are to be men. Our very friends are kept by silences, rather than by confidences. Our enemies ere weighed and measured in silence, and we are secretly com- forted that temper and irritation soon wean themselves out. Napoleon sold the Louisiana valley in 1804 to worry Eng- land, and lately England's costly trea- sures adorned the great occasion at St. Louis Seward bought Alaska from Russia forty years ago with the same kind of temper and lately a few gentlemen :Bs - sussed and dined together and sealed the business of the boundary line. There was peace bej'ore there was war.. Let no be silent, solicitous, vigilant 'watchers on the walls of Zion. H. T. Miller. IBeamsvifle, Ont.

Lovest Thou Me? (By. Rev. D. M. Ramsay, D. D., hi Do- minion Presbyterian.) "He with unto him the third time, `Simon Barjonas, lovest thou me?"'— John xxi. 17. Some people said it was impossible to love Jesus Christ without seeing Him.. But if He lived, He could be loved, for it was possible to love an unseen friend. They could read Christ's word and learn of His ways. Why couldn't ,they love Him? What was it to love Christ? Was it. +'e -t they might have Him in their pos- session? When they said they loved Jesus they desired to make themselves His rather than to have Him become' theirs. They could have no love for a human being or even for an animal if they only desired that person or animal for themselves. No boy loves an animal or a human being who simply Ants to make it his own and not that he might care for it. The purer their love the more they would desire to have some friend or animal to love that they might serve the objects of their affections and make the world happier for them. The little girl who put her arms around her moth- er'; neck and said, "Mother, I want to help you," proved she loved her mother by willingly giving up her play in order to belp the mother. As they loved fath- er or mother or brother or sister, so they ought to love Jesus Christ because He was their. unseen friend. Why should they love Jesus Christ? They should love Him because of His' leveliness. Jesus was the one perfect flcv, er of the human race. He was perfectly Iovely in the best sense of those words. He grew up perfectly. spot- less in beauty in spite of all the trials that 'came upon Him, and continued so throughout His whole life 9 k her Ho* gootl","ir of Jesus Christ. See what moral,;cour- age be had. They admired the beauty of the ivy but did they not also admire the strength of the oak about which it clings? In the life of Jesus they saw entwined all tenderness, all strength. The great point wad that it was -for their sakes that Jesus Christ wished to' let men see His loveliness. It was for the;: salvation that the Son of man cams down on earth to live. Heaven c. -u. not be their hope if Christ had not borne His cross. Why was it that so many refused to love Christ? Because they preferred other gods. There were people' in Ot- tawa who had made a god of money and were willing to become its servants and toil for its sake. They were becom- ing old before their time, in order that they might pile up heaps of gold and silver. They were malting themselves small, were debasing their souls through worshipping silver and gold. Gold and silver and pennies were very useful, but how many people there were that would not put them to use. Money did much good—built churches, sent out Helping the Young. The most potent influence on earth is always a personal thing. Indeed, we only exist as persons, and we only know ourselves and know one another as per- sons. "Right" and "wrong" have no pro- per meaning except in regard to the rela- tions between persons. Spiritual forces are functions of personality. The awful power which sways the stars in their courses is blind and helpless compared BOB=CAT KILLED. •. IMMENSE LYNX•.

GERMANY @SOLAT[IL EFFECT OF THE ANGLO-FRANCOe• SPANISH ALLIANCE. King Edward Laid Foundation for airNew Understanding—Spain Recog- nizes ecognizes Britain's Right to Gibraltar Italy Said to be Considering Similar. Agreements. London, June 24.—ging Edward's visit to Cartagena is believed to have laid the foundation for the new Anglo - Franco -Spanish understanding. The'fact which stands out most clearly is that Germany is isolated in the entangle- ment of alliances and agreements to which the European and Asiatic na- tions are parties, except in the case of the old triple alliance, which is nc longer regarded as being the powerfui factor in European polities which it. formerly was. The Anglo -Spanish . and Franco -Span•' ish agreements, which are distinct, ale thatgh following the same lines, are as' outlined in these despatches on April 20, when Great Britain denied that the visit of King Edward to Cartagena had any political significance. Although Gibraltar was not mentioned, Great Britain's chief interest in the agree- ment is in the removal -of any cause of uneasiness in regard to the possibility of a 'land attack on that stronghold,. Spain for the first time recognizing Great Britain's right to hold the pen- insula. Spain, on the other hand, bene- fits by having a strong power guaran- teeing her position in the Canary Is- lands and Mediterranean, including the. Balearic Islands. There is reason to believe that Italyis considering similar agreements. While not confirming this, the Foreign Office. said that there was nothing to prevent.

Wandering of a Nine -Year -Old Girl From. Grassy Lake. A Cobourg despatch: The story has reached here from Lethbridge, Alberta, that the nine-year-old daughter of se homesteader named: English at Granny Lake is lost. She followed her lather on Sunday morning to the Saskatchewan River, six miles away, being told by her mother to follow the wagon track. The father returned at night withuut having seen the child. A search party was organized, and ultimately over a, hundred riders turned out, including, it. is stated,' every available rider from Taber to Bow Island, Later the bloodhounds were secured from the Government quarantine sta- tion. The hounds traced her footsteps, several times to the water, and finally came to a place where tracks led into the' river, but where there were none lead- ing out. It is feared she is drowned.

Paris, ,Tune 24. ---'the action of the eucceesion to the throne of Luxembourg, which the marriage of the present Grand Duke was supposed to have settled, has, been raised again owing to the latter's feeble health, and the improbability of! his having a male heir, although he has, six daughters.
