TRUMPET CALLS.

Kam's Hem Sound* a Warnin* Mata to the Unredeemed.

Life is a dream te which death to the Awakening. 1 It is just as easy to borrow sunshine as trouble. A gloomy religion has no place in a sunshiny church. There are three kinds of sins—-be-

Betting, upsetting and forgetting. The Ilfs of love cannot be lived until we cease the love of our lives. Christ’s two great commandments are great enough for two worlds. The things we scatter, not those we gather, make our lasting wealth. There is no Christian character apart from, conformity to Christ. In the question of the .Son is the solution of the question of our sin. It takes more than sharp, scratchy angles to make a rugged character. Learn to speak so that one sentence will mean, as much as two did before. The shortest cut to being a grand fizzle is to start out to be a “good fellow.” There are many ways to please a man besides doing him an outright favor. The coolest person in a controversy is the one most likely to be in the right. The best way to rise in the arms of faith is to put your arms about the fallen. No man can know his Father who is unwilling to be known amongst his brothers. Scratch a self-made man around the pocketbook and you will soon see the real man. In whipping sin around the stump, be careful that you do not hit your own back. the man who learns to moderate his desires will have the least trouble satisfying them. A really living faith makes itself known in even the middle of the load of hay a man sells. Some people seem to think that they will be allowed to withdraw their support when the church debt is paid. What the preacher says from the pulpit is half of it. What his congregation thinks in the pew is the other half. It is qlways easier and more profitable to follow the highway, whether in religion, morals, or politics, than the many by-ways. Fools rush after pleasures and suffer the pain of folly. Wise men study to avoid the eVils and partake of the pleasures of wisdom. We cannot dream ourselves into a character, but we can dream about the character we wish to get into while we are building ft up.
