We want and need to go to men with a resurrection message and this is really the substance of the 6th chapter of Romans. We are baptized into the death of Christ, that like Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. We are to tell men that their resurrection begins the moment they believe. That it begins in a new life to the soul over whom sin is to have no more dominion, and that it ends in newness of life to the body over which death is to have no more dominion. So that when we wgo to men'with the true gospel message we need not only tell them that they shall rise from the dead in the likeness of Jesus and be satisfied with that likeness but that faith in Him shall bring such oneness with Jesus that we should begin immediately to live a new life with a new power over sin which they knew nothing of before. Often times one will decline the offer of the gospel sincerely. He says, "I Would like to be a Christian but I cannot. I can't live a new life wholly. I am a slave to drink or tobacco or to passion or to the power of the world, and I know that if I attempt it I shall fail and that would be only worse for me and for' the name of Christi" This is all true, and if it were all that is to be said it would he a sufficient reason for turning away from the cross,—the conscientious fear of bringing reproach upon the name of Jesus. But this is not the whole truth. We cannot do in ourselves through' the weakness of the flesh and the power of the» 'old sinful habits, but we can do through thé power of the psirit, forming new habits of life, and so now converts who really believe and understand their calling find the power of old sins instantly and wonderfully broken. How often even the appetite for drink is taken away a n d the habituâl slave to lusts broken instantly and foreveri This is the resurrection message and without it there is no soul winning. Faith Illustrated. Rev. John McNeill. The Rev. John. McNeill, speaking one eve-ning in St. Andrew's Hall, Norwich, while conducting a memorable evangelistic mission in . that city some five years ago, and addressing on this occasion some 1,500 people, related a telling story of his own experience to the following effect. He said: "My mothér was a kind and a good woman, and I am sorry to : say I was often inclined to disobey her, and often did it. However, it wasn't safe to venture too far in that direction, for I j ew at the back of my mother stood my father. When our father died, my brothers naturally looked up to me as the eldest for counsel and guidance— and sometimes a little pecuniary guidance. After a time two of the boys went out to the United States. James—we didn't call him James, Jim was all he got—rwent to college out there to study for the ministry. It was in 1894, at the time when the great World's Fair was in full swing at Chicago. Moody was at the head of a mission which had been organized to meet the ¿ast masses that would be attracted to that city. I was there as a helper. One morning a letter came addressed to me from my brother Jámesi. It ran as follows: " 'Dear Tohn:—YOJK*WÍ11 be pleased to hear I am getting on well at
