The early Christians believed that the new religion was, not l the beginning, but the close of an era, and they looked for the end of the world ! —which they thought of as very old— to come in their time.

say; but that there will be an end all must believe. Every generation is living in ‘the last days.** So the “ensamples'' are still of value, and the admonition Is still needed. The idea waa clearly in the mind of Bishop Ken when he

wrote;

Redeem thy misspent time that’s past. And live this day ss if thy last; Improve thy talent with due care: For the great day thyself prepare.

The point is that men should not think in sadness of the transitorinea of life, but rather deduce from the thought the obligation to live nobly—and bravely and cheerfully. Those represented by the apostle looked forward with joy to the end, and the feeling that It was

History Hardly less interesting than the handling of the apocalyptic idea is the use made of history by the Bible wrUera. The words that 1 -ive Experience been quoted give a good illustration of the method: "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamplee; and they are written for our admonition, upon whom ihe ends of the world are come.’* This Is almost equivalent to saying that what the people of old did, experienced and suffered was part of the divine plan for the education of succeeding generations. The things "happened unto them for our ensamples’' and the accounts of them were “written for our admonition." In another place the apostle says: "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.” If this is true, aa it is, history is not a dead thing, nor does the past die when It merges into the present and flowers into the future. It Is writ ten experience, and the man who can not learn from the experience of others is dull indeed. An ancient author quotes Thucydides as saying that "histor}* is philosophy learned from examples.” The apostle’s idea is, therefore. not new. What is new is the rigor with which he applies it. To him the life of his people in the wilderness was as vital as that which surged around him. He relied on promises made centuries before his time, and declares that one of the objects for which Christ came into the world was “to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. 1

The shoemakers, according to testimony before the grand Jury at Boston, are having as much trouble disposing of the cheaper cuts of shoes as the butchers have with the cheaper cuts of meat A perverse public insists on having porterhouse shoes while rump shoes and chuck shoes are neglected. Therefore, the profit must be made on the higher grade —you know the story, it’s the same the butchers told.
