cause the story Wee SO Sinlfa'Y sew
It was told with originality.
• My father was a gospel minister
who coMpletely consecrated himself,
body and mind and soul, to
work. For thirty -Ave year fs his pul-
pit was the sole business of his life,
He lived and breathed and at and
slept and walked and nursed his
Strength only for that. When he
went 011 lecturing 'tours, it. was not
to Make money or to take pleasure,
but to get away from his home tasks
so that he could come hack refresh-
ed to do more valiant service foe
Christ. • Every family physician who
entered our home declared that the
rest of railroad travel had been his
physical salvation, -It forced him to •
the repose that he would not other-
wise allow to himself.
He was a genius, but he developed
every one a his ten talents by the
hardest kind of mental and physical
&triplication. No labor for him, was
too full. of drudgery. Morning, noon
and night found him in Ms study.
He took . physical exercise not for
pleasure, but to fit himself for the
pulpit. lie lived not to eatbut he
ate so that he could live. He placed
his standard very high, and into eV-
ery Elermon he' put his best thought,
He used to say to me: "Frank, do
not make, the mistake of many liter-
ary men. They say to themselves, I
will save that thought and put it
into another speech or article. Give
to the world thebest you • have.
Crowd everything iat that strengthens
an argument, but always s-trive for
quality and not for quantity." When
a theological student, I wanted to •
occupy for some weeks the pulpit of
a small country church. He uttered
his protest, saying, "You ought to
spend at least three months upon
your that sermon, writing upon it
from six to tea hours a day!". What
a testimony is -this to his own Care-
ful work,coming from the cold lips
which are now closed in the casket.
Nt hat a homiletic lecture it is for the
young ministers, for the young law-
yers and budding sfateemen who
enitintain that the oratorical art is
a divine -gift 'which ,lia;a no need for
' struggling upon the .rough Mountain
tilde of'. drudgery. What a elation •
note it is; etinanonieg all men -and
*Omen to do their best tinder all
conditions. The lessen is as power-
ful foe the merchant of ten :talents
as for the clerk of taaa talents. To
hirn. that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he bath. ,
There is however, a warningthat
• comes , from' myfather's intense ap-
plication to work • which deserves •
the attentionof all those who are
'bending their physical, , mental. and
spiritual . energies . to accomplish
something in life's striiggle." About •

Reputation is what the world
thinks abOlib ft man. Character is
what, lie really is. Reputation may
be wrong. Character is an actual
fact. Man looketh upon the out-
ward appearance; God. looketh upon
the heart. But I have semetimes
felt that God has made it possible
for other eyes, as well. as his °WA
all geeing eye, to look into a man's ,
heart. The child has the opportun- I
ity and the privilege of looking into
the parent's heart. When a boy
liVes for years by the side of a fa-
ther, he knows what are the ruling
principles of his life, its strongest
inetives and fundamental beliefs.
When I lived at home or traveled by
my father's side, contirtually with
him for weeks or months at a time,
I formed the conviction that he was
as good a man as • ever lived. I
loved to hear him preach, because
knew and could testify that his ePok-•
• en words were the echo of a sweet,
gentle, loving Christian, life, a, We

' Semis the most of His disciples Are! At
one time some of the apostles felt 'like
burning a town because the people
• Would tot receive Christ, and now
they Seem to feel aolnewhat like burn-
ing Peter because through him some
uncircumeised people had received
Christ. We receive Christ when we ra.
• ceive the word of God concerning Rim
It Is a simple and most reasonable
thing to receive With meekness the.
Word of God, yet vituperatively few
do it. These Who do give joy to our
Lord (Jas, i, 21; John xvii, 8),
2, I. When Peter was come up to :aue
ealem, they that were 02 the eireuinchrion
centeeded with hint •
Though they had been for years with
Jesus and had been- filled with the
Spirit, they had not learned the sig-
nificance of "WhogeeVerft nor that Nil'
Christ Jesus neither circumcision
avall-
eth anything nor uncircumcision, but
• anew creature" (John III, 10; Gat. vi,
18), The feeling still exists in some
quarters that it would be wrong to of.
ficiato or take the connnunion Otitside
a one's own denomination,
4.10. Peter rehearsed the matter from the
beginning.
About the eixth hour Peter felt led
to g0 on the housetop to pray' and, be.
Ing hungry, Would have Oaten, but
while they made ready be fell Info a
trance and saw this vision (x, 0, 10).
At that very tline the Messengere trent
Cornelius were near to Joppa, and it
Waif necessary that Peter should be
ready to receive there and go with
them, which be certainly would not
have done but for this special visiou.
It is beautiful to see Clod' preparing
His servants for the good Werhg wbuleb
lias- prepared for thew.
11, 12. The Spirit bade me go with them.
While Peter was vonsidering the stg.
nilleance of the virsion the Messellgete

quiring for him, and, Instructed by the

This book might well be called the
acts of the Holy Spirit in the name or
the Lord Jesus. In It we see God and
angels and men all working together
that men may kuow the riches of Gotl'e
•grace and His wonderful love.
• 13, 14, Who shall tell thee words whereby
thou and all thy house shall be saved,
As Cornelius told Peter, why lie had
sent for Win, this is what he said that
the angel said Peter Would do; there-
fore at.the time et that vision neither
Cornelius nor his house. hoWever de.
Veld, was saved, and 'Peter had to
come from Joppa to tell them the good
news concerning Jesus Christ that they
might be saved, Hew few seem to
feel as Paul did when he.sald, "I an)
debtor both to Greeks and to barbari-
ans, so, as much as In rae is, I. am
ready to preach the gospel" (Rom. i, 14,
15). •• - .
15: And as I began to speak the Holy
Ghost fell on them as on us at the begin -
nine.
Chapter x, 44, says, "While Peter yet
spoke these words the Holy.Ghost fell
on all them which beard- the word." So
• It was vrhile Peter was still speaking
and just et the beginning of his dis-
course that God wrought so marvelous-
ly. There was nothing in ell this got
up by man, neither. the discourse nor
the .results. All was from God. It 18
