THINGS THAT SHAY THE SOUL Many things slay the soul! The world will often do it. There are men who will read these words I write whose souls have thus been slain. Lost by money, choked by its deceitful ness for it failed to satisfy and so the man pursued his will o’ the wisp till in swamp of worldliness he lost home,' heart, honor, honesty, aspirations, ideals, serenity, strength, soul, heaven and God. Many things slay the soul! Lust of envy as Cain; of selfishness as L«t; of sensuality as Samson. And it may be that the name Samson best illustrates how lust slays the soul, until strong thought, clean purity, capacity to ab sorbingly adore, are destroyed and the man dies. Many things slay the soul! In a bereavement I once saw a strong man die. The old father never smiled after I buried his son; but walked about the house in his pitifully seeking way, till
he literally faded away and the body in which his soul had died was buried. Many things slay the soul! In the sudden downtearing of a great affec tion; when the house of hope has been reared in which faith felt secure, but it fell— And the soul was as a boat without chart or compass while the great gale hurried it to its ruin. Many things slay the soul! In the mad quest of pleasure, in the choke- damp of inane and insane excitement, in selfish disregard of the mind and heart and high things of eternity, spir ituality and God the soul succumbs. Many things slay the soul! But O the tragedy of a slain soul! A harp- string broken, ne’er to be replaced, the chord lost for aye. The existence of the body may continue, the round of life’s duties observed, the pilgrim age of life its battle still mechanically resumed; but the zest gone, the divine urge dead, the soul turned prema turely gray. — W . B. Hinson.
Methodist Teacher Likes the K. B. “Enclosed, please find check for $75.00 for the support of a native col porteur in Hunan Province in China. I see Dr. Keller is doing a great work out therA May God richly bless him, also yourself in your defence of the faith. I know what it means to stand for the truth, for I am the teacher of the Men’s Bible Class here in the Methodist church. The District Super intendent came around some time ago and said that “ premillennialism must be stamped out” but I am still teach ing it and, what is more, my class like it, and when I suggested we take up the Fundamental Lesson Course, every one of them voted for it. They have repeatedly said that these are the best lessons they ever studied. So you see we are having a good iime in spite of the preacher and the church officials. God bless The King’s Business. It is surely doing a great work for the .Master.’y- -‘A. M., Illinois.
