WAYLAN I was -a wakened by the mellow voice of Lis chief call ing: "All out! All nut! l:-y-light down the creek!" Then, breathing a prayer of thankfulness, the boy sat up and looked about him "The l'ji;p night is over at last, arid 1 am rdivo," he said and congratulated him-f-elf. "How did you sleep?" asked the su pervisor "First rate nt least during the latter irt of the night," Way laud briskly fed. "That's good. I was j fraid that Ad irondack lK-d of yours might let the white wolf in." "My "biaukots did seem a tritle thin,' confessed Noreross. "It doesn't pay to sleep cold." the su pervisor went on. "A inau wants to wake up refreshed, not tired out with lighting the night wind and frost. I always carry a good bed." It was instructive to see how quietly and methodically the old mountaineer went about his task of getting break fast. First he cut and laid a couple of eight inch logs on either side of the lire, so that the wiud drew through them properly; then, placing the Dutch oven cover on the fire, be laid the bot tom part where the flames torched ii. Next he filled Lis coffeepot villi water nt'd set it on the coals. From his pan nier he took his dudics and the Hour and salt and pepper, crranginjr tf.T.. all within reach, and at F'st l:C. z.z slices of bacon in the ski' let. At this stage of the T":rl: rn ti ered cry, half yawn, hai? cciur'r.ii-t, came from the tent. 'Oh, hrr" 7.r morning?" inquired P.' rri.;. "Morning." replied her fr.thtr. -'Zti pninc toward noon. You et t; c; you'll have no breakfast." Thereupon Wayland call' d : 'Cnr. 1 fet you anytL'mg. Miss .Len-icT . you like some wani: wa.ei'.'' "What frV" iuterpo-ed.

I'.errie chuckled. "So net1 me-.; . ll ' .1 daddy has no feeling ferric. 1 ' .. lie thinks I'm a boy." "lbt water is debiiitativg tk. :r;; Uad for the completion." rctcri.-d father. "Ice cold water in wl-at y.r iieed. And if jw'J don't get or", v there in h'.e minutes I'll d-iuse yo'j -.vltl: r tlipperflll." This reminded WayU.nd that he had jiot yet made his own toilet, and. seiz ing soap, tou-el .-Mid brusln.s, he Lur ried away d mvii the l-each, whe'.'e he came face to face with the dawn. The frplendor of it sin nte aim full ir the ees. From the wattless surface of the water a spectral mist was rising, v. light veil, through which the stupen dous cliffs loomed ;;.') feet iu height, darkly shadowed, dim and far. Xi" willows alotig the western luarge burn ed as if dipped in lirp id gold, and on the lofty crags the sun's coining cre ated keen edged shadows, violet as ink. Truly this forestry businc.-s was imt feo bad after all. It had Its compen sations. I'.ack at th campfire be found r.errie at work, slowing, vigorous, laushir.g. Tier comradeship with her father was very charming, and at the moment she was rallying him on his method of broad mixing. "You simuid rub the l.:rd into the flour," p je said. "iHm't be afraid to get your hands info it after they are clean. You can't mix bread with a spoon." "Sis. I made camp bread for twenty years afore you were loru." "It's a wonder you lived to tell of It." sb retorted, and took the pan away frm him. "That's another thing you must learn." she u.id to "Wayland. "You must know how to make bread. You can't esiot to find bakeshops or ranchers along the war." In the heat of the fire, in the charm of the girl's presence, the youDg man forgot tln dlsentnforts of the night, and. as they sat at breakfast and the sun rising over the high summits flood ed them with warmth and good cheer sifed the frost melted like magic from the tent, the experience had all the satisfying elements of a pi'-nic. It seemed that nothing remained to do. Hut Mcl'arlaue said. "Well, now you youns-ters7 wa?h up and pack while I re.-ojxn-vter the stock." And with his s.add;; and bridle on his shoulder he wyjt away dowu tLe. trail. ROMANCE OF THE BEAR TOOTH RAKGE HAMLIN GARLAND Hamlin Garland Under I'.errie's direction Way'.aml worked busily putting the camp equip meut in proper parcels, taking no spe cial thought of time till the tent was down and folded, the panniers filled and closed and the lire carefully cover ed. Then the girl slid: "I hope the horses liaven t been stampeded. There are bears in this valley, and horses are afraid of bears. Father ought to have been back before this. I hope they haven't quit us." "Shall I go and see?" "No, he'll bring "em if they're in the land of the living. He picketed his saddle horse, so lie's not afoot. No body can teach him anything about trailing hordes, and. besides, you might get lost. You'd better keep close to ca Pip." Thereupon W'ayland put aside all re sponsibility. "Let's see if we can catch onie more fish." he urged. To litis she agreed, and together they ji-ut aaain to the outlet of the lake, where the trout colli be seen dart'ng to and fro on the clear, dark flood, ami there cast their flies til', they had se cured ten go d sized fi-h. "We'll stop now." declared the girl. "I don't believe in bring wasteful." Onee more at the eamp they pre pared the fish for the pan. As th-y were unpacking the p-'rriers and getting out the dishes frr their iiieai cuuiiuer tnoive iiuuj me mii crags above the lake, and the girl call ed out: "iuick! Its goius to rain! We must reset the t nt and get things un der cover." Once more he was put to shame by the decision, the skill and the strenith with which she vent about re-establishing the camp. She led. he followed in every action. In ten minutes the canvas was up, the beds roiled, the panniers protected, the food stored safely. I'.ut they were none too soon, for the thi'-k gray veil of rain which had clothed the lo.'t.eM crags for hall an hour t-w;.ng ou: over the valor, leaden gray under its fob's, and with a roar wlm-h began in the tali l u;t-s. roar which ueelieiiod hushed oldv v hen the thunder crashed resounding ly from crag in crest, the tempest fed upon the camp and the world of sun and odorous pine vanished almost in stantly, and a dark, threatening and forbidding world took i:s place. I'.ut the young people, huddled close together boneatlr the t'jnt. would have enjoyed the charge had it not been for the thought of the supervisor. "I hope he took his sli' ker."' the girl said be tween the tearing, ripping flashes of the lightning. "It's ruining hard up there." "ilow quickly it came. Who would tunc thought it could rain kke this after so beautiful a morning'.'" 'Jt storms when it storms in the mountains." she responded with the sententious air cf her1 father. "You never can tell what the i:y is going to do up here. It is probably snowing on the high divid Looks now as though those cay uses pulled our some lime in the night and have hit the trail for home. That's the trouble w:;h stall fed sine!;. They'll quit you any time they feel old and hungry. Here comes tile ha ill" she shouted as a sharper, more spiteful roar sounded far away and approaching. "Now keep from under!" "What will your father do?" lie called. "Ion't worry about him. lie's nt home any fh'co there's a free. He's probably under a balsam somewhere, waiting for this ice to spill out. The only j tint fs, they may get over the divide, if t!iry do it will be slip pery coming hack." For the first time the thought thai the supervisor might not be able to re turn entered Wayland's mind, but lie said nothing of Ids fear. The hail soon changed to snow, great, clinging, drowsy, soft, slow moving Cakes, and with their coming the roar died away and the forest lie cnmo as silent as a grave of bronze. Nothing moved save the thi''k falling feathery, frozen vapor, and th world was again very beautiful and very mysterious. We must keep the tire going." warn ed tin girl. "It will be hard to start a'ter this soaking." He threw upon the fire oil of the wood which 'lay near, and" r.errie. tak ing the a-s. weut to the big fir and began to -hop off the dry branches which hung beneath, working almost i as effectively as a man. Wayland ia sited on taking a turn with the tool. but fci? efiorts were so awkward that ' she laughed and took it r.wny again .4 "You 11 have. To take lcnus in swing- Ing an ax." slic said. "That's part or Hi.' job." Gradually the storm lightened, the siunv diangocl back into rain .and final ly b mist, but up on the heights the clouds still roiled wildly, and through their openings the white drifts bleakly .botlO. cooking the midday meal, and at 2 o'cloi k i hey wi re able to eat in com parative comfort, though the unrnoltod snow still covered the trees, and the water dripped from the branches. "Isn't it beautiful:" exclaimed Way land, with glowing, boyish face. "The landscape i- like a Christinas card." "It wouldn't lie so beautiful if yon had to wallow through ten miles of it." she sagely responded. "Paddy will be wet to the sk;n. for 1 found lie didn't take his s!i -her. However, the sun may be out before night. That's the way the tiling goes in the bills." "It's all in the trip." said r.errie. "You have to take the weather as it comes on the trail." As the storm les sened she resumed the business of .1 ff.Jt.-- . --ei.-M. JIW' mm tlx-'' 'f 54 "You'll Have- to take lessons in swir.g . ing an ax," she said. "That's part of the iob." To the youth, though the peaks were storm hid, the afternoon was joyous. Iterrie was a sweet conipaniou. Un der her supervision he practiced at chopping wood and took a hand at cooking. He had to admit that she was better able to care for herself in the wilder ness than most men, even western men, and. though he had not yet wilnessed n display of her skill with a title, he was ready to believe that she could thoot as well as her sire. Neverthe less lie liked her better when engaged iu purely feminine duties, and he led the talk back to subjects concerning which Lcr speech was less blunt and manlike. lie liked her when she was joking, for delicious little cures of laughter played aUe.it her lips. She became very amusing as she told of her "visits cast'" and of her embarrassments in the homes of city friends. "I just have to own up that about all the schooling I've got is from the maga zines. JSometinies 1 wish I had pulled out lor town when 1 was about four teen: but. you see. I didn't feel like leaving mother, mid she didn't feel like letting me go. and so I just got what I could at Hear Tooth." She sprang up. "There's a patch of blue sky. Let's go see if we can't get a grouse." Together they strobed along the edge of iLe willows. "The grouse come down to feed about this time." she said. "We'll put uji a evey soon." Within a quarter of a utile they found their birds, and she killed four with five shots. "This is ail we need." she said, "and I don't believe iu killing for the sake f killing. Hangers should set good examples in way of game preser vation. They are deputy game war dens in most states, and good ones too." The night rose formidably from the valley while they ate their supper, but. Iterrie remained tranquil. "Those Imrses probably went clean back to the ranch. If they did. daddy can't pos sibly get back before S o'clock, and he may not get back till tomorrow." Morcross. vith his city training, was JK-nto'y conscious of the delicacy of the situation. In his sister's circle a girl left alone in this way with a man would have been very seriously em barrassed, but it was evident that r.er rie t'wk it all joyously, innocently. Their lieing together was something which had happened in the natural course of weather, a condition for which they were in no way responsi ble. Therefore she nermitted herself to be frankly happy in the charm of their enforced intimacy. She had never known a youth of his qunuty. lb? wa so considerate, so re fined, so quick of understanding and so swift to serve, lie rilled her ruinr" to the exclusion of unimportant mat ters like the snow, which was begin ning again. Indeed, her only anxiety concerned his health, nnd as he toiled amid the falling flakes, intent upon heaping up wood enough to last out tbe night, she became solicitous. "You will be soaked." she warning ly cried. - "Don't stay out any more. Come to the Ore. I'll bring iu the wood." Something primeval, some strength he did not tunxr he possessed sustain ed him. and he toiled on. "suppose tiiis snow keeps falling?" he retorted. lite ' Mm Ml ' I l 9 I v w 1. l If W M i: vim if t I '! c in jut 6 i "The supervisor will not lie able to get bad; tonight perhaps not Xor a couple of nights. We will need a lot of fuel." lie did not voice the fear of the storm which filled his thought, but the girl understood it. "It won't ie very cold." she calmly replied. "It never is during these early blizzards, and. besides, all we need to do is to drop down the trail ten miles, and we'll be entirely out of it." "I'll feel safer with plenty of wood." he argued, but soon found it neeessary to rest from his labors. Coming in to camp, he seated himself beside her on a roll of blankets, and so together they tended the lire nnd watched the darkness roll over the lake till the shining crystals seemed to drop from a measureless black arch, soundless and oppressive. "What time is it now?" she asked abruptly. He looked at his watch. "Half aft er S." "If father isn't on this side of the divide now lie won't try t cross. If he's coining down the slope he'll be here in an hour, although that trail is a tolerably tough proposition this min ute. A patch of dead timber on a dark night is sure a nuisance even to a good man. He may not make ik" " ouldn't I rig up a torch and go to meet him?" She put her hand on Ids arm. "You tday right here!" she commanded. "You couldn't follow that trail five minutes." "You have a very poor opinion of my skill." "No, I haven't: but I know how hard it is to keep direction on a night like this, and I don't want you wandering around in the timber Father can take care of himself. He's probably sitting under a big tree smoking his pipe be fore his tire or else he's at home. He knows we're aTl right, and we are We have wood and grub and plenty of blankets and a roof over us.

"I think I'd better sit up and keel tTie lire going." lie replied heroically "There's a big log out there that I'm going to bring in to roll up ou Un wind ward side." "It'll be cold and wet early in the morning, and I don't like to hunt kin dling in the snow." she said. "I al ways get everything ready the night iefore.

I'astor K u s s e 1 1 was here today, lie delivered very impressive discourse from the text, "Hy one Spir it lie are all bap t i z e d into one I'.ody." (1 Corin thians 1J:13.) Uo said in part: The blessings that are ours as Christians are first, the possession of the hearing ear, when the majority of people have no ears to hear; second, the great favor of God in that He has made all the arrangements hy which we w ho have the hearing mr might re ceive the begetting and anointing of His Holy Spirit. lint after we are le uotten of the Spirit, although we have still more abundant favor, the issue is with us. It is an individual matter. Kach must make sure his own calling and election. God is doing His part iu leading, and in covering, making up for all our blemishes, through Christ. The primary thing that God requires of us is loyalty of heart. We liad thin loyalty of heart at the leginuing of our course: by one Spirit we were all bap tized into the one P.ody of Christ, the Church. And it is by keeping this same Spirit that we are to make our ailing nnd election sure. Christ's Baptism Finished on Calvary. It is a good thing to bo able to say, "J have made a full consecration to Gd." Hut that eonsecratiou must continue; it is a daily matter. The same Spirit that led you into the bap tism must remain with you in the bajt tism to its completion. "Is not our liaptism complete when we have taken the step of entire consecration?" asks jlc; "was not Jesus' baptism complete when He had been immersed by John in Jordan?" I answer, You remember that when Jesus came to the close- of His ministry, three and a half years after His baptism in Jordan, He said, I have a liaptism to be baptized with, md how am 1 straitened until it be iccomplishcd!" (Luke l-:o0.) You .see Uis baptism was not fully accomplish ed at consecration. Iiut He was anx ious that it should be accomplished, ind it was completed the following Jay: for on the cross He exclaimed. 'It ii hnished:" His baptism was there fully consummated. So our baptism will le finished only n death. It may lie that as we' come iown nearer to the close of our earth s' exiierience we shall realize that there ire dregs iu our cup for us to drink, is there were hi the Master's rup for Him. It is of his cup that we are to jartake. Itut there should be no alarm. We wish to share the Lord's cup of siifferings. and we are glad that he is .ettlug us have similar experiences to His own. The Master will say to each jf us. as He said to St. Paul. "Mv jiace is sutlicieiit for thee; My strength s made perfect in weakness." 2 Co rinthians 1U:!.) We have a sure proui se that covers every circumstance and condition. Our baptism into death will not be finished until we expire. Our wills must continue to be immersed aito God s will unto the end. 'The Heavens Were Opened Unto Him." Let us note bow fully our Lord Jesus received the Spirit uf God. You re aiemlMT the account is giveu us in the iospels that when Jesus came up out if the water, after He had been bai :ized of John, the Holy Spirit descend ed upon Him like a dove, "and the Heavens were opened tinto Him." IMatthew 3:1G.) This means that the Higher things were opened to Him. the ipiritual things. As a boy Jesus had lived iu Nazareth svbere He habitually attended the syn igogue. Although He had never had my "schooling. He was able to read iuently; and so it seems to have been :nstomary for Him to le called upon :o serve as public reader. He would stand up and read the daily Scripture. "ot many could read. Iut being a perfect man. Jesus would h;ive talents md i owers sibove all the others; for He was perfectly balanced. During the time that Jesus was in Nazareth, jp to thirty years of age. He was fet III -eader in the synagogue when pres ent. (Luke 4:10.) This brought Him .mo contact with the jieople. The cus tom was that one part of the lesson would be chosen from the Law and an- jther part from the Prophets, lu this j way .Jesus gained full knowledge of all ! Lhe Old Testament. We-have known people of our falien race who after one reading of a poem fe ft A, ? ouid repeat it verbatim. We axe sure that. our Lord would know every word of the Scriptures from Genesis to Malachi. No wonder that Jit twelve years of age He was in the Temple tpiestioning the Doctors of the I-awI lie wished to know the meaning of all We hud read. As lie nsl ed these ques tions, they were astonished. Think of a boy of tueive knowing all about the r-ojit'-nis of Genesis. Kxodus. Leviticus, the Psalms aud all the Prophets: No wonder they were astonished, jnst as were the Ti-o';le of His home town when they usl.e 1. "Ilow khowcth this man letters, never having learned?" When Jesy.3 went up from the bap tismal waters, and the Heavenly things were opened to Him. this un ant. we understand, that He began M see unify deeply into these statements of the Uld Testament than ever before. T'p to this time Jesus was a man a nat ur:d man. not n sinful man. however. He was "holy, harmless, nml'iled. nt.d separate from sinners." The Apostle says that the natural man (even though perfect reoeiveth not the things of the Spirit oX God. neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians Je sus had known about these things be fore. As a thoughtful man lie had studied over oil these matters in the Scriptures, but He could not under stand them clearly, lectiuse lie had not yet been liegotten of the Holy Spir it. Iiut now, after His anointing of the Spirit, these Heavenly thinas that had seeuied strange and obscure In-au to ojien up to Him without measure. ( Mir Lord, being pol l er', could upon His begetting reeeive the full measure of God s mind. God's Spirit. Immedi ately following His baptism and iliu pdiiation. His mind being active. He was driven by the Spirit into the wi' derness. It was thus 1 1 is own Spirit thut drove Him there. He said to Him self. "My mind is opening; all these hitherto obscure Scriptures are unfold ing before Me. I must go away into the wilderness alone to think ever these things." And there he had a forty-day J'.ible study. The Scriptures imply that during that period, while ho was thinking of ihe types of the Law and the prophecies, lie did not even get humrr. Some of the Heavenly Th r.gs Unfolded. The account stales that Jesus "uftv.r uruids ahungei'ed." He wa.-. thorough ly absorbed in i'.ible study. We can surmise what Jesus was thinking of during all that time. One cf the sub jects must have been the Passover what it meant who it was that was to be passed over. Whom did the lamb tvniivV Whv was not a bone of it broken? What did the bitter herbs eaten with the Passover lamb signify? What did the coming out of Egypt prefigure? What was the signiacance of the overthrow of Pharaoh and his hosts in the Led Sea? What was the meaning of the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai? What the wilderness journey ami the entrance into Canaan? What t lie tiery serpents in the wilder ness and the lifting up of the lir:..oi! serpent on a pole? You and I would not have known had not the Holy Spirit through the Apostles shown us these things. So Jesus, until He was Spirit-begotten, knew noi the si-niieance of a'.I these wonderful types. Then, coming down to the Psalnis and the prophe.ies, Je sus thought of the Scriptures. "Thou wilt not leave My soul in Shcol. nei ther wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy due to see corruption"; "He was led as a iamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth." (Psalm l(i:lu; Isaiah r.'!:T.) Now He began to see the meaning of these Scriptures that lie had long wondered about, lie saw that He was to be the Lamb dumb before lis shearers. He saw that He was to be the Passover Lamb; that Ik was to let evil men take His life from liiui and not interfere, not even ask God to hinder them, simply yielding 'aii His life in harmony with the i'a 'l er's will. Then He considered the tjiiica! Day of Atonement the bullock and the Lord's goat for sncrilice, the scape goat, the burning of the fat. the kidneys, etc., upon the altar, the carry ing of the blood within the second veil of the Tabernacle, the sprinkling of it there-, the burning of the carcass oat side the camp; He saw that these were all to be fulfilled in Himself and in liis followers. How We Are Made Perfect In Him. We are only copying Jesus' course here to a small degree when we have I'.ible study classes and conventions for Pihlo Study. We can haie the Holy Spirit only by measure, can uii dersti.nd only by measure, because of oir imperfections. JJut it is the priv i'ege of each to have his vessel tilled tc its capacity. As you keep it full, you will find your capacity increasing. that you can contain more. The Apostle Paul says, "We are all baptized into one Pody." Again, of himself. "If by any menns I might at tain unto His resurrection." (Philip pians ".:10, 11.) Was there any doubt about St. Paul's attaining unto Christ's resurrection? lie realizes the possibil ity of failure. "Then what chance have 1?" some one may ask. We re tily. As goot n. chance as the Apostle. The Lord manages this matter most wonderfully. Our Lord had one hun dred jioints of character, we will say. That represents perfection. We blem ished by sin, may have only ten. fif teen, twenty, or even thirty-five points That is about as far as we dare go. we think. Humanity has fallen fur below th" perfection In which Adam Vas created. .Vou say. Those who have thlrty-fte points .have the best chmi-e. No they will not have oue whit mote -ha nee than those who have ten. God mnkes up in Christ's, merit to each otic as he ceedo The one;. who ha" .::!; . j points of character needs that the Lot: supply ninety 'points. The oe vvhu has thirty five points needs sity five supplied. Where one h.i- givt.lor need, irrseo so mueh ninie nlioim.I-.. tie" Apostle deelares. !e imai..- M It Is just as easy for vou .:. n.e a-, tor St. Paul. He said. "I count, uli ili.n but less and vile refu-c thnt I may v. in Christ aial be found iu Mini llo.v rould he win Christ? How could Jle '-ie in Christ? Counting All Thing-; but Dross. Th" thought is this: The word 'hri.'-t is not merely a persona I inline. The n; to- Christ is the nai 'f the ;'i-e. ,lwi' is the Head of The ,hri-i; the CLii'vh are the nieiiilnts of ti e I'-o.l;..

The Apoio knew he must give up e cry t hin Had he clone it? Yes. What had ! to give up? A great de.il. He had been a lawyer. He was favored in be ing a Komati citi.en by birth. II is family was wealthy. (He ued m uf his wealth in Koine when he paid for his own hired house. i He h: d a good education. Vet he said. "I count all this but hiss nnd dross." Some one might ask. "Io you not often feel sorry. Paul, that n had to give up so much? I wonder that you did not think of how mu h jnu v. ere sacrificing when you gave up these op portunities." "I count toe-e but ilfi-N if by any means I may win a pl.;ee in The Christ, and !o found iu Him. a member of His Hody," he replies. Thin he continues. "That I may n tain unto the resurrection out from among the dead" the I'.rst Kesunec lion, the highest resurrection. Th.it was St. Paul's hope. May w have that resurrec tion? Yes. The I'. idv of Christ are to share the same resurrec tion that Jesus had. We are to le ex alted from the fallen, human condition to a condition far above angeU - o en to the Pivine nature. 'the Aposile toils us the conditions; "T! 't I mtht know Him. the power of Hi re-unee-tlon. and the fellowship of His sutler ings. being conformed unto His death." Christ's death was a very special death. Other coplo die because they have to die, because they share Adam s death iienuMy. The ('Ir.r.h class il not die because they share Adam's pen alty. We have been red'-eTied from this. We are dying voluntarily with Jesus. We might have had share in the future Pestiiutjon. Lut we ga'e up all these earthly interests that we might be included w ith Ch-i-1 in 1 h Mystery hidden from tie ages that we might share His nature find glory. For this reward we follow in 1 1 is s. rilicial footsti p.?. Vvhat Is the Holy Spint7 Let us each, maintain t'uis one Spirit by which we were u baprii-d into this one P.ody. Let us rbl le in Chri-t. How may we do this? J".y cultivating th" fruits of the Holy spirit, through study of the Word and prayer. "Hut. Hiiis one. "this matter of having the Holy Spirit is so confusing. We h;ive heard people say that the Holy Spirit enters into each of us. How can on., person enter into another, or into uiany persons?" We reply. It would show that there was something wrong with jour reasoning faculties if yoii could get anything out T that idea. It is just as the Pible tells us The Ibdy Spirit is the inind. il'spr! tion. energy of the Father. It is als-i the mind, energy, disposition f tin Son. received from the Father. We lire partakers of the same Spirit, if v. e have been begot l en of the Spirit. It is the Lord's :'nim:itiug power in e.-n-h one of us. It will manifest ilself If wo have it. The fruits of the Spirit are love. joy. peace, long ufforiiig. gentle ness, meekness, faith, st If -control. Fruits and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Are the fruits of the Spirit and the gifLs oT the Spirit the same? N- The early Church received the gifts of the Spirit in addition. The Apustle tle ciared that the gifts would jriss away. (1 Corinthians l.'P.S, l::.) They did pass away when the Chur h had In come fully established. The fruits re mained. and these are far more iiupo: -tatiL These fruits, if present, are man if est in the life. Meekness K one of them, gentleness another. You find that you nre not so rude as vou used to You do not slam doors so often. You speak more gently. Sometimes vmi make a slip, but you make an. ends for it. You say, "Please pardon me. I will try to be more gentle the j;ct time." Fvory time you ti ll some one jmi are sorry you did something wrong if enl tiv.'.tes patience and humility. It hum bles one to a jxiloiMze; but each tmx you thus apologize for a thought le-s word or deed, you are grow ing in meek ness, gentleness nnd love. If j ou have these qu.-.litics abound ing. "they make you that y shall be neither idle nor unfruitful in the know ledge of the Lord " You t h i have more of the Holy Spirit. Th Holy Spirit Is not. u rrsori. No Scrip ture. pn.K'r!y translated, gives en. such thought. We need a supernatur: I illumination to understand the deep things of GoJ and our relationship to Him. If these spiritual fruits nin.-io.i in you. "an abundant entrance shall (- ministered into the ev t1.-i -ting Kb : dotn of our Lord Jesus iirhrT " .Now, dear friends. I leave the nv'cr with you.
