Japanese, and that arrangements are being perfected by the Mino Mission of Ogaki, Japan, for the nation-wide distribution of three million copies throughout that coun try. Already the first million have been printed, and are being distributed daily by Christians, pastors, evangelists, B i b l e women, Bible school students, and mission aries. One Christian worker writes that thirteen new inquirers have been raised up through, the reading o f the tracts which h e‘has'distributed. This effective tract emphasizes the need of salvation (not religion), and thé way of salvation through the death and resurrec tion of Christ, by a striking diagram, feat uring the cross at the parting of the two ways, and brings the reader to the impor tant question: “ Which way do 'you choose?" It is earnestly requested that, Christians everywhere pray that God will bless this large distribution of His Word, arid use thé tracts in the salvation of thou sands o f precious souls j also that the need ed funds shall be supplied soon for the printing of- the additional two million copies.

It is the duty of every Christian to present our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to the lost. For this, we need to : I. Pray. First get our own hearts right. II. Plan. Plan how best to meet the need of those we want to reach. III. Prepare. Even the best of housekeepers make special preparation when expecting guests. Evangelistic work is “the sweatiest work I know.” It requires every ounce o f one’s strength. V. Pull in.

Do not shrink from asking Him to show you how and why it is that you have fallen. The beautiful crown which He put “upon thy head” in the “time of love” would not have fallen from the head but that “ we have sinned.” “It is by thine iniquity that thou hast fallen —iniquity personal and real, though very likely unguessed by any one, and hidden even from thine own eyes. . . .

MARCH 16 “His anger endureth but a moment: in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Psa. 30:5). There is an obvious antithesis in the first part of the verse, between “his anger” and “his favour.” Probably there is a similar antithesis between a “moment” and “ life.” For, although the word rendered “life” does not unusually mean a lifetime, it may have that signification here. So, then, the meaning of the first part of the text is, “ The anger lasts for a moment; the fa vour lasts for a lifetime.” If we pass over to the second part o f the verse, we observe there is there also a double antithesis. “Weeping” is set over against “joy” ; the “night” against the “morning.” Ana the first of these two contrasts is the more striking if we observe that the word “joy” means,- literally, “a joyful shout,” so that the voice which is first conceived o f as weeping is now in joyful praise. The phrase, “may endure,” means literally, “come to lodge,” so Weeping and Joy seek a place within our house. —A lexander M aclaren .

Jesus said, “ Come” to these men, they were ready to leave every thing and follow Him. Lesson 3. “ J e s u s . Ma k i n g a S i c k Mother Well.” Jesus was never too tired to think o f others. Lesson 4. “J e s u s Forgiving a Man.” Not only can Jesus heal the body, but He
can aiso forgive sins. Lesson 5. “Jesus Keeping God’s Day.” The Sabbath is for rest and worship. Lesson 6. “Jesus Choosing Special Help ers.” Jesus chose twelve men to be His soecial helpers. He is still choosing peo ple to do special work for Him. Lesson 7. “A Story Jesus Told.” Are our hearts good soil in which the Word of God may grow ? Lesson 8. “ Sharing Our Stories of Jesus.” We must let our lights shine for Jesus. Lesson 9. “Jesus Stilling a Storm.” Jesus has power over even the wind and waves. Lesson 10, “Jesus Making a Little Girl Live Again.” Jesus has power over death. Lesson 11, “Jesus Helping Hungry Peo ple.” Jesus is the Bread of Life. Lesson 12. “ The House I Live in.” Our bodies are the “temples o f God.”
