"The 'Present Time"
By "PEG'
How prase we are to, put off
till to -morrow what we ;should
be. doing to -day. It is an easy
thing to, say "I should do that
right now, but am busy doing
something else. So will have to
leave it till later on." Many
who have made similar -state-
ments have not been given .a
chance later on to do it. In the
meantime God has called them.
It .may be God has some im-
portant tbork for, us, to do. There
may be some one -standing near
us whom 'our Master would want
ue to influence by a thought a
word or. an action. The thought
of it seems too much for us,
and. we put it off until another
time, Ten minutes from then we
have each gone our own way.

The work which- God has meant
for us to .do has . been left un-
done, and it may be that at Eters
pity we will meet that soul,
unsaved. simply because we have
refused to obey God's. command.
Each one of us has a duty to
perform towards our friends or
neighbors. We have not been
sent to the world to Iive to our --
selves alone. One Christmas time
the late General Booth Bent to
his solders throughout the world
the cue word "others" as his
message to them.
"Others, Lord, '.yes others,
Letthis my motto; be: .,,
Help me to live for others,
That I may live for Thee,"
We cannot expect our actions

Mrs. James W. Bell, who is

ignore God's time for : • doing
things. We cannot expect God
to be with us if we follow our
own way„ If we do- not want
to co-operate with Hhn Be„ will
find another; messenger to do the
work He had set asides for us
t,' do All we were;;requieed. W
do at that .porticulat time was
to put ourselves into.. God'sharms
and signify .sue willingness ry
obey His eo nrnands.
If we know of. sbmeore who
is ill and' put off going, to see
them • until- .they .are ,well, we
have lest God's ,blessing, if some
one is in sorrow and we have
oeen or felt we were too Easy
to go and offer cur sympathy,
and .whatever help..we might be
able to given, the the blessing
will have•gone.to some one who
deserve it more than we did.
We spend a great deal of time
making' up excuses, but after all
they are only 'excuse* and God
will not accept excuses.
As we look beck over the year
we. set many opportunities we
might have made good use of
had we only grasped them. We
have had the same chance as
others but they have made good
use of their chance to help
others. There is very little use
for the look-out'on a ship to call
or signal danger when the ves-
sel has grounded . on a rock and
when perhaps hundreds of souls
have been endangered or lost.
Can we think of on instance
where we felt God had sent some
one to us for spiritual advice
and we have allowed- that one
to go away without one word of
comfort. What have we done
about it? In all probability we
have prayed that God would send
that one back to us and He has
done so. What a relief it has
been to us, especially if we have
found that such a one needed a
• word of comfort. We have al-
lowed the time' to slip past, but
God in His goodness hes given
1 us aonther opportunity.
Are we in the nursing profes-
Ision? if so, before going on duty,
do we ask God to give us an
opportunity to speak for Him.
Often we find that sick folk are
longing for someone to speak,' a
word of comfort to them. Some -
time's that word will he the means
of their conversion.
Are we a teacher of children?
They are in the most plastic stage
of their lives. Some teachers do
not realize just what their in-
fluence should be in regard to
the children who are in their
care.
No matter in what walk in life.
we find ourselves there is some -

a
thing we tan do for Him Who it
died that we might spend life H
everlasting with Him. He has 8
laid a responsibility on us and s
we dere not shirk our duty.
We must have the love of God
in our own lives before we can
pass it on to others. If we would
only realize it there is nothing
better for us in life than that
Love,
Each day is made up of single
steps. A beautiful verse came
to me in a letter recently which
carries the following delightful
and helpful message:
"A single step, and again a step,
Until, by safe degrees,
The milestone's passed, and we
reach at last,
Home, when the King shall
please,
And the strangest thing is often
this,—
That the briery, tangled spots,
Which cumber our feet should be
thick and sweet
With the Lord's." "PEG"
