Tree-Frog Christians Dr. F. E. Marsh has been doing some thinking about tree-frogs. He says: “A tree-frog takes on the semblance of the tree or flower upon which if is found. One was once seen on a begonia, and it was like the color of the flower. “There are a good many professedly religious tree- frogs. There are also some professedly holiness tree- frogs. They take on the hue of everything and everybody and every meeting upon which they light. They look one way, talk one way, act one way, at one time; they look, act, and talk very differently at another time. With worldly people they are worldly; with real Christians they profess religion. With people who do not believe in entire sanctification, they join in all the old, stale jokes about it, and about its professors and possessors; they are ready for almost anything that will not identify them with “The Holy Club” ; they are ready to argue and preach and fight against it. But, when they are alone with holy people, they advocate the doctrine and profess the experience of holiness. You can hardly distinguish them from their present surroundings, no matter where they are or about what they are concerned.” Hyper-Sensitiveness Dr. Maltbie Babcock says that hyper-sensitiveness may come from overwork, or illness, or from plain selfish ness. To be easily annoyed is to be sick or selfish. When we are played out or worked out, our nerves are worn to the quick, and writhe at the touch of trifles. Then—rest for our lives. We cannot afford not to. But there is an irritability that is not physical. It is moral—or im moral. It comes from being self-centered. We live, but will not let live. We want our way any way. If we are interrupted, we are visibly annoyed. Interference, correc tions, suggestions, light our fire-crackers and we explode. Other people’s pleasures and pains, their children, cats and dogs and canary birds, are impertinences. Why? Because they do not pertain to us. This is plain selfish ness. Let us beware. It is the spirit, the essence of evil. Let us go to the cross of Jesus and learn to love. We shall always be in relations in the world. Let us make them loving relations. Let us look out for hyper-sensitive ness. It means peril for body and soul. Speaking of Dress Dr. Graham Scroggie reminds us that we are keen about dress, but are content that our souls be ill-clad; we are attentive.to food, while yet our inner man remains unfed; we are eager in our pursuit of material wealth, but, too often, despise the heavenly riches; we are set upon pleasure, but sadly neglect unfading joys; we take every precaution to safeguard this life, but make little or no preparation for the next. Assuredly we need the exhortation to be diligent to make our calling and election sure (2 Pet. 1:10). One M inute’s Blow-Off “It’s over in a minute,” said a lady, who was excusing her bad temper ;to Billy Sunday. “So is a gatling gun,” he replied, “but it blows everything to pieces in that minute.”
