philosophy and foolosophy, hut the pulpit cylinder is out of adjustment with the divine spark, and though there is plenty of ‘gas,’ there isn’t any real dynamic power, and no progress is made with the Gospel passenger, service to heaven. ” This is the day of “ strong delusion”-—the day in which the devil’s chief instrument is “ a lie” (2 Thess. 2:9-11). Of these days the Christian is warned, “let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first.” ' The great world' war has helped on this apostasy, and if there was ever a time when the Bible-loving remnant in the churches should stand together, it is now. Pray for the ministers that they may be bold to preach the unadulter ated Gospel of Jesus Christ. If some are determined to betray the flag of the Church, pray God to remove them. Above all, let no condition in the Church hinder definite soul saving Work. If the Gospel is not being preached, it is all the more the responsibility of the believer to engage in the most definite kind of personal work.—K. L.

(2 ) We shall try, therefore, to keep Him in our m inds always, and to do in His name, and therefo re to the best of our ability, all th e work which comes to us in our daily occupations. (3 ) As far as our ordinary duties allow, we shall endeavor to devote a portion of our tim e each day to some definite work which may help to prepare fo r H is coming. (4 ) We shall seek to make DEVOTION, STEADFASTNESS and GENTLE NESS prom inent characteristics of our daily life.
