Look where one will, one sees only the brand of Cain as the mark of the beast upon every citizen of this world. Morals? Divorce court records today might be exactly an echo of the social circles of Cain’s city. Art and Music? The latter is distinctly specified as being given to the world through the Cainite line. Commerce? The line of Cain were gifted traders, and their descendants are in no wise backward to develop all their hereditary talent. THUNKS You never saw a man riding on a railroad train with a trunk strapped on his hack, did you? That would look ridiculous, indeed. You would almost have to question the Intelligence of anyone who would do such a thing. • Yet there are many people, who claim to be on the Gos pel Train, who have about three trunks strapped on their back! Trunk No. 1 is filled with lamentings and bewail- ings over things that have happened in the past. Trunk No. 2 is filled with frettings and complainings about the affairs of the present; and Trunk No. 3 is packed full of fears and worries about what may happen in the future. What a burden! No wonder they are down-hearted and gloomy. No Wonder they are_ enduring their religion in stead of enjoying it. Anyone would get the “ blues” and go down in discouragement under such a load. Why not turn all the trunks, past, present, and future, over to the Conductor? It may be that He will empty the greater part of the contents into {he side ditch, or cast it into the sea of forgetfulness; hut if there is anything really worth while, He will put that into the baggage car. After you are rid of this unnecessary load, you can lift your head up and catch occasional glimpses of heavenly splendors; and you can get some enjoyment out of your journey as you travel from this earth to the Celestial City. Jesus said we should cast ali our care on Him, for He careth for us.—Clarence Boyer. OFFERINGS FOR CHRISTMAS We come not with a costly store, O Lord! like them of old, The masters of the starry lore, From Ophir’s shore of gold; No weepings of the incense-tree Are with the gifts we bring; No odorous myrrh of Araby Blends with our offering. But faith and love may bring their best, A spirit keenly tried By fierce affliction's fiery test, And seven times purified; The fragrant graces of the mind, The virtues that delight To give their perfume out, will find Acceptance in Thy sight.
