“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father” (Matt. 5:16). How small are the things which mar our influence 1 Let me suggest some of them: trifling insincerities of speech, trifling de viations from truth, apparently trifling de viations from the high and iron standards of honor and honesty; devotion to the world, whether in its gross or in its more refined forms; settling matters by mere profession of piety. These things mar our influence and make us to those who know us as insincere men. The habit which grows upon some Christians of perpetual gossip, until they seem to be obsessed with the importance of the business of other people, is quite enough to destroy their influence as serious men of God. —J. S tuart H olden . It is the Master of the field, not we, who must appoint workers by prayer. The field is the world. Who can pray for anything so large except in a vague general way? To each, then, is his or her part of the field. The call to work there in spirit is, or may be, as definite as the call to the missionary to go there in body. But when, constrained by a great love, we look over the hedge of our own plot to the wide acres beyond, we may, thank God, work there, too. The spirit has powers denied to the flesh. It can fly over hedges. And yet somehow it always flies back like a homing bird to the place appointed for its special ministry.—From Gold Cord by Amy Car michael. JANUARY 17 Urgent “As many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage” (Matt. 22:9). Let us go forth into the highways and hedges and compel men to come in, that God’s feast may be furnished with guests. Let us not be content with the first refusal or the second; but with eager persistency press on men the urgency of these closing hours of opportunity, remembering that when once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, it will be hopeless and impossible to secure an en trance.— F. B. M eyer . JANUARY 18 Incessant Praise “Whoso offereth fraise gloriûeth me” (Psa. 50:23). Let not thy praises be transient, a fit of music, and then the instrument hung by the wall till another gaudy day of some remarkable providence makes thee take it down. God comes not guest-wise to His saints’ house, but to dwell with them. David took this up for a life work: “I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.”— T homas G urnall . JANUARY 16 Prayer with Wings “Therefore said he unto them, The har vest truly is great, but the laborers are few : fray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest” (Lk. 10:2).
"PA SS IO N FOR PALESTII A N A M A Z IN G A N D TIMELY N EW BOO K BY KEITH Here is information little known among thousands of Bible students and it is only through Mr. Brooks* fact-finding organization that much of what is here revealed comes to the attention of those who are interested in prophetic things. You will stand amazed at the revelation concerning the relentless forces of Jew hate in the world today: the outbreaks of anti-Semitism within Christehdom; the _origin of that bugaboo, “The Protocols of Zion” ; the undying passion of Jewish leaders.to claim the land of Israel; the clever Russian mirage called “Biro-Bidjan.” A closing chapter, taken word for word Bible prophecies, is made to read like an account of many things now passing before the eye of the world.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name J esus ; for he shall save his feofle from their sins” (Matt. 1 : 21 ). It is Jesus and Jesus only who saves from sins, not by suppression nor by eradication nor by counteraction, but by living in us. . . . He does His work of saving by dwell ing at the source of our being. Christ de livers from terrible sins by living out His matchless life of purity in us. . . Death has kept its g rip ; death has held dominion over man, ruled as only a tyrant can rule, but we are to reign even more completely over sin and the devil in our lives and in our service through Jesus Christ, a Per son, living in us.—L. L. L egters . JANUARY 20 Within Hearing Distance "Sfeak; for thy servant heareth” (1 Sara. 3:10). Happy are we if we open our griefs to Him who indeed knows them better than ourselves; if we keep Him by our side; if we constrain Him to abide with us. Happy if when the day is far spent and darkness is closing round, we are allowed to see for one moment the fullness of the divine Pres ence, which has been with us all along. But happier if, when our hearts first burn within us, while life is still fresh and the way is still open, as One speaks to us in silent whisperings of reproof and disci pline, speaks to us in the ever-living rec ord of the Bible, we recognize the source of the spiritual fire.— B ishop W estcott .
