CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR HOME MISSIONS

By REV. 8. Topic Songs of th heart VI. Th fleeplees watcher. Ps. cxxL ConsecraUor meetlnc : It has been sajd that the One Honired and Twentieth Pialm Is one of eomplalat, while the one before as la ; ne of comfort a ad consolation. Ia this psalm the writer forgets his distresses or overcomes them by "lifting Us eyes unto the hills from whence tometh tuy help." The hills were the bills of Zlon, the location of the temple, the especial abode of God Himself; aence the psalmist means that be was really looking to God. and, moreover, be adds, "My help cometb from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." The protection of God is amply set forth throughout the entire psalm and by various figures. In the fifth verse he says: The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade (protector) upon thy right band. The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night." They were to be free from sunstrokes and the deleterious effects of the moon's rays by night Some have doubted such injuries of the moon, but modern travelers have proved that bad effects do follow sleeping in the moonlight in hot countries. When the full tacts are known the Bible is always proved to be true. It always will be, The Lord shall preserve thy sourkeep us in temptations to evil. "The Lord shall preserve thee forev-ermore"-for time and for eternity. These declarations of the psalmist are all true. Our God is both able and willing to do all that is here set forth. The only condition is our willingness to trust Him that "He may bring it to pass." The supreme thought of the psalmist selected for our consideration is that the Lord is a sleepless watcher and keeper. "He that keepetb thee shall , neither slumber nor sleep." There are sweet comfort and satisfaction In this fact that God is a sleepless watcher. Neither by day nor by night ia He unconscious of our cry. How often a child becomes restless at night and, filled with fear In the dark, cries out. A.r you awake, mamma?" And when ! the answer comes back, "Yea, dear," how the Uttle brain and heart are comforted and soon find rest in sleep! Mamma Is awake. Why should she fear? Children of God, Christian Endeavorers, your Heavenly Father is always awake. Why should you fear? There Is no need unless you have offended Him and are not on good terms with Him, and even then if you cry to Him In penitence how ready be Is to bear yout No sound is so sweet to the ear of our Heavenly Father as the cry of the penitent, and He is willing to forgive and able to forget, which we cannot do. the sin that has separated us from Him. Let us only fear to offend God, and then we may "lay ourselves down and sleep in peace," because He who never slumbers watches over us. Sunday Services Flret Baptist H. Robert Smith pastor.

I would recommend that we laboi with a new zeal this year: First By stirring up the fires of Endeavor wherever they require It. For various reasons there are not a few societies which need a new baptism of life and enthusiasm, and it should be our special aim to study bow to poke up their embers into a blaze of enthusiasm among the young. Second. By heaving up fresh fuel upon the old fires in all parts of the land. The baptism of God's own Spirit the baptism of heavenly fire, should be sought for every one of our 700 societies. A new love for the Master, a fresh passion for His word a mighty yearning for the salvation of souls and an all absorbing eagerness to build up the local church this la the fuel which all our Endeavor societies specially need in order that they may carry the fire of God's all consuming love unto all who come in contact with them. Third. By starting new Endeavor fires wherever possible. There are many places within your reach and mine where Christian youths are lying helpless and useless who could be converted into new sources of power for the cause of Christ and humanity by being organized into Christian Endeavor societies. Why should not every society study the field around it and carry its message of light and Its fire of life into neighboring villages and towns? Let us treble the number of societies this year, and thus brighten the flame of our own lamps by kindling others. And let us do this not ultimately for the cause of Christian Endeavor, but for Christ and for the furtherance of the great kingdom of righteousness which He has established. Let us remember that Christian Endeavor finds greatest prosperity when it does not obtrusively seek its own and when tt is the eager handmaid of God's own church. Rev. J. P. Jones, President India C. B. Union. "Heart Failure" and "Pledge Failure." The heart of Christian Endeavor is In the first clause of the pledge. "Heart failure." the cause often assigned for death, is only a confession of ignorance. So with "pledge failure," Back of that is usually the failure of the executive committees, the secretary, the lookout committee, and so on. A Safety Valve.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL COMMENTARY

Sermon November 1, by rcopyrfjht. 1908. by Ajnerfcna Frea Aawcurtoa. ! It was a rare thing that the Lord was able to write of Abraham, "1 know him, that be will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord" (Gen. xvlii. 19). It Is written of so good a man as Ell that bis sons were sons of Belial. They made themselves vile, and be restrained ti.em not and the Lord looked upon that as honoring his sons above God. lie did reason with his sons, but he did not command or restrain them (1 Sam. II, 12, 24, 20; 111, 13). David had one son, a fine looking fellow, whom be never even dls pleased by asking him. Why bast thou doue so? (I Kings 1. 3, G.) But he turn ed out very badly. He had a beautiful name. Adonljah, which means Jehovah is my Lord, but a beautiful name or form or features count for nothing if the heart Is not right with God. Absa lom'a name signifies "father of peace," and there was not a more beautlfu' man in all Israel (II Sam. xlv, 25, 20. but e see him in toiay't lesson read, to dethrone and kill his own father. Absalom, bavlrg slain his brothe: Amnon. Ch1 to Talinai. king of Geshui his mother's father, and was ther. three years (II Sam. xlii, 37. 38; 111, 3 but David longed to see bim. Juab perceivlng. David's longing for Absa lorn, brought it about through a wis woinaa of Tekoa (chapter xiv), so A' salom returned to Jerusalem, and j he was there two full years wltbo seeing bis father's face (xiv. 2 In due time Absalom and bis fathi met. The king kissed him (verse 33 Then follows the lesson of today wherein we see Absalom stealing tbt hearts of the men of Israel and unde. the pretense of keeping a vow to th. Lord at Hebron caused himself to Ik proclaimed king, saying, "Absalon reigneth In Hebron" (verse 10). He sent for his father's counselor, Ahitbophel and took with him 2tK) men from Jeru salem. who went in their simplicity and knew not anything, and so the people increased continually with Absalom, and the conspiracy against David was otroug (verses 11, 12). God calls Israel His son. His first born, and said of him, "Thy beauty was perfect through my comeliness. which I had put upon thee," and call ed bim the dearly beloved of His soul and yet had to say, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me," although nothing could possibly be done for them that He had not done. See In confirmation of these statements Ex lv, 2, 23; Ezek. xvl, 14; Jer. xll, 7; Isa. i. 2; v. 4. Then when Jesus came la , humiliation as their Messiah they deMRS.

Mrs. William Astor. aged 78 years, the first and only leader New York society has ever known, died last night at her home, No. 842 Fifth avenue.

Sblsetf TLfXX lOHX rvjectea Tttm' (nd killed Him. and the night before they crucified Him He went forth with Ilia little band over the same Kidron and to the same Olivet (verses 2S. SO), for the people bad said. "We have no king but Caesar." In due time Absalom was slain, and David returned to his throne and kingdom. So in due time the great adversary shall perish and Jesus shall relga (lie v. xx. 1-3. 10; xi. 15). David did not return until tbe men of Judah as one man sent nun this word. "Return thou and all thy servsnts" (xlx. 14). and we cannot bnt wonder what might take place if In response to our Lord's threefold "Surely I couae quickly" of Rev. xxll the church should as one person cryt "Amen! Even so conie. Lord Jesus! With all her divisions and on the part of the majority no expectation of Ills return we cannot think that the church ever will be of one accord on this point, but we rejoice to believe that ia the fullness of time, the church being completed.

The GOO recall tbe whole Adullam story of the faithful followers and their reward when he came to the throne. Ittal tnd his memorable words, "As the Lord liveth and as my Lord tbe King llveth, surely in what place my Lord the King shall be, whether In death or life, even there also will thy servant be," remind us of the devotion of Ruth, another gentile, and point us on to the time when all gentile nations shall manifest a similar devotion to Israel because of the Lord who shall reign la their midst David's submission to God is seen In his sending back tbe ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, saying. "If I shall find fsvor In the eyes of the Lord He will bring me again, behold, here am I. Let hint do to me as seemctb good unto Illro (verses 24-26). He was filled with sorrow, yet his mind was etayed upon Jehovah. Our blessed Lord la the midst of His great sorrow gave the disciples HI" pesce snd prayed that they might have Ills joy, a pct snd Joy Independent of circumstances because It cometh from God. assist the physicians and to respond to the stimulating influence of the oxygen.
