PRACTICAL APPLICATION'S.
How to Work.
I, Divinely glutted. The Spirit snid,
"On near and toio thyself to this char-
iot" (v, 20). "The steps of a good mita
are ordered by the Lord; and he de-
lighteth in his way" (Pea. 37:23). The
Spirit himself personally talks with the
eurrendered. soul, not only troout spir-
itual things, bet about she particulars
of personal work, God will guide us as
he did Philip if we are Spirit -filled.
°Try the spirits whether they are of
God." (1 John 4:1): When you are not
sure whether a suggestion is your own
thought, or a whisper from Satan, com-
ing as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14),
or the voice of the Spirit, look up in
perfect submission and say, "Yes, Lord,
if this thought is front you f will do it."
If the Holy Spirit is speaking you will
grow. quietly ceetein. 1r not, the im-
pression will Wye you. There are otle
or ways of trying the spirits.
1. By the word. The noly Spirit never
epeaks eontrary to thee word. Tile lady
who thought the Spirit told her to
"mortify the Medi," and wear a big, old-
fashioned bonnet to church, was deceived,
for "Clod is not the author of confusion"
(I. Cor. 14: 33). He tells us, "Let all
things be done decently and in order"
(I Cor. 14: 40). He hide us "Look .
on the things of others" 2: 4). He
would have "women adorn themselves in
modest apparel" (I Tim. 2: 9). The
love that "worketh no ill (Rom, 13: -10).
will lead us to dress so as not to attract
the attention oi an audienee from the
word of God and the worship of God to
ourselves.
2. By Providence. The Holy Spirit
never speaks contrary to Cod's provi.
deem A lady ft It impressed to go as
a •foreign missionary. Looking for o
promise sbe opened to Arts 1: 8, and felt
sure he was to go. But the missionary
board die not accept ber and no money
was proviiled for her passage. The Lord
had not Welter to go. But he fulfilled
his promise by giving her a Bible clase
of young men to train, from which meny
went as missionaries.
3. By our judgment. The Holy Spirit
never speak contrary to sanctified judg-
ment. Philip left in the midst of a
flourishing revival, but he did not leave
the converts without care. Peter and
John were there, and he could well be
spared. The Lord may lead us to do
things that some people think nre ex-
treme, but he does not make us "fools"
(Eph. 5: 15). Do not fear. -Having re-
ceived the Iloly Spirit, recognize him as
within you, ifthe Spirit of truth," ready
te "guide yon into all troth" (John 16:
13). if in doubt, wait on the Lord
without hurry. When the !award voice,
the written word, and the- outward pro-
vidence all agree, beware how you dis-
obey.
If. Earnestly, 1. Promptly, "Philip
ran" iv., 39) the way of God's command-
mente (Psa, 110: 32). George B. Peek
says, "Many foil to rim after the miss-
ing chariots. when bidden, and miss their
man. There is a nie's of eime in evory
errand for Cod" (1 Nings 20: 40, Eecl.
0: 10).
2. Aggreesively. "Philip .... said"
(v. 30). Tie •spoke first, and he did not
talk about the man's enariet or horses,
nor about Queen Candace and ber treas-
ure; nor oven about Jerusalem. and the
meetines from which the Ethiopian bad
come. '..1-te asked the question that would
quickest, lead to Christ.
3. Pointedly. "Itnderstendest thou?"
(v.. 30). Philip's question was direct and
personal. He would know whether the
man with tho word of God in bis hand
had the thought of God in his heart.
IIT. Expecting reward, Reward is
promised for faithfulneas, not for sue-
eese. The word of Gott will never re-
turn to hint void (Isa. 55: 11). Work
will be wrought although we may not
see ite A. C. *NI.

ferers a're still unfed, unclothed and
withoue shelter. The central committee
has expended barely 10 per cent. of tha
funl at its disposal, and this appalling

explained there is not the slightest sus-
picion of dishonesty; indeed, it. is the
absurd, almost. ineredible, red tape with
which they heve beeo etriv,iag to make

situation, for sews of thousands of
large American and English funds have
been used in this way, and every. dollar
so expended has been worth a hundred,

is, am efraid, a dreadful amount of
