Hnilton, om, A woman may be beautiful and attract.- ive, and have all the accomplishments -which wealth can procure. But if she has no high ideal to live for, no noble purpose to p_ur- sue, her life is very apt to deteriorate into an empty and unsatisfactory, a sordid and selsh thing. Most men pay a ne tribute of honor and respect to womanhood, just becauseit is womanhood, and .-because their idealism has clothed womanhood with -many virtues. To such men it come as a shock to discover a womanhood which in no sense fullls their ideals, which, though ont~ wardly attractive, in reality is only vain and silly, or ease-loving and selsh. sash lives have never known a daybreak. Should the dawn come to them, the new light of love and- service will give a wauty to life which will never pass away, even though The grey dawn light stealing into the park below her window` changed all that. She saw men and women, `homeless, friend- less, who had passed the-nightthere. Some were still huddled on the comfortless bench- es,'curled up like dogs for warmth. Some were rising from their unrefreshing sleep to begin again the heartle.ss,`almost hopeless quest for work to do` and bread to eat. .Within a few. yards of them she had spent her night in luxurious = and extravagant pleasures which did not please and could not satisfy. ` . - :nnnnn1~n:I-u n` :G- nfu-nnlr 1-nun I-ya nl IIUI) buuaty. ` The incongruity of it struck her like :11 -blow. The uselessness of her life shamed! her. _The tragedy of human need cried to her. With a .new resolve to live _for othersl andmake her life count in the service oil those who might need her, she went out to a new day such as she had never known before. ' The painting depicted the greatest imom-l ent in a human life. It is that in which the daybreak comes. and in that daybreak the Lord is seen as He was -by a little group of disciples on the shores of a Galilean lake `long ago.

It was the dawn of a new purpose in life, a new ideal, a something to live for, a something to do for the good of humanity, instead of the life of empty `idleness, of protless inanity she had hith- erto known. -Her dawn had come.

The central gure was that of a young wo- man drawn life size.

Yet every line 0) `int gure, the droop of a. hand and poise not the head indicated weariness and dis- satisfaction.

Ii, 1 J` .1 9. .I Lucy Luuy Dc oa.Vcu,' O1-O0. , Paul here lays down a very simple, but a very great principle for deciding what we may do and how to do it: Whether there- fore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye `do, de all to the glory of Go( . This principle will settle all our questions. Do nothing that you cannot do to God s glory, and whatever you decide to- do, do it to His glory. This will settle all the perplexities about the thousand and one questions that come up to, the Christian about what they should do `and what they should not do. If we decide questions in this way we have a right to put away all that troubles` our conscience and be free from all sense of condemnation.

Some of, the Corinthians whose thoughts were entirely occupied with themselves and their own rights and privileges were saying: All things are lawful to me. Paul. who was governed -by the Christian principle of love, and thereforethinking of the effect of his actions not only upon himself. but others, answers: Yes, all things are law-_ ful; but all things are not expedient (or, helpful or prota'ble);" A true Christian (10% not ask what is PERMISSIBLE, but what is PROFITABLE. He asks, what will edify, build up others as well as him- self. Is it permissible for a Christian to attend the theatre? one asks. Better ask, Is it protable, will it edify? Isit per- missible for a Christian to use the Lord : Day as he does other da`ys`? Better ask, Is it protable to use the Lord s Day as other 'days_. will it edify? In'al1 of these things Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor's good." If we were acting on this principle, how different the lives of most of uswould be, and how much more goodvwe would accomplish, and how many stumbling blocks we would move out of the way of others. The believer should not be troubled with a morbid con- science. He should not fear to eat anything sold in the -markets because of a suspicionl that it might have been offered to an idol and thus be tainted. He need ask no ques-` tion about that; for, even if it` h ad been offered to "an _idol, it really belonged to the Lord (of. Pa. 24:1-;1,50:12; 1_ Tim. 4:4). This statement that the Tearfh is `the Lord's and `the;-`fulnesf thereof". as self- evident as it is,"'is a wonderful statement and one we should deeply ponder. If we keep it in mind and at the same time walk in fellowship withGod, we need never have any anxiety or fear on the one hand. and. on the other hand, need never be troubled with a morbid `conscience. Christianity is not` morbidness. The `Christian might even go to a feast made by an unbeliever, and in case he did he should eat whatever was set before him and not be haunted by the torturing suspicion that perhaps this was offered to an idol. The believer need ask no questions about this. But if some one," should say, This hath `been offered in! sacrifice, then he should not eat. not be ' cause" he would himself he hurt, but for the sake of the one who said it. He should abstain from eating it in order that the. one who said it might not be hurt. His liberty could not be judged by another`: conscience, and he would still have liberty to eat as far as his own conscience was con- cerned; but his libertyshould give place to love, "therefore he should not eat it be- cause of love to the one who said it, lest he should-be made to stumble. We nd here two great principles: (1) Every _man .<~ liberty must be determined by his own con- science, not by the conscience of another. (2) Liberty must give way before love. The question is not, what have I liberty prompt me to do. ~ Wil. Seeking. the Prot of the Many Thrat They May Be Saved.- 31-33. ' Dun` `morn lnivn Jpn}... .. .`....... ..2_..;I- L-.A. IUIIUWG IL!

Paul says, Ye are the temple of God." This is true of the whole body of believers ltuken together (Eph. 2:19-22), and it is of thistemple of G'6d constituting the whole .body of believers that Paul is speaking here. It is, however, also true of each individual believer that he is the temple of God (ch. 6:19). The Church, constituted of all who are believers in Christ, all those built upon Him as the foundation, is a temple of God, that is, His peculiar dwelling place.` And also the body of each one of us is a. temple of God. The Spirit of God` dwells in the Church and He also dwells in the individual believer. If any man dele the temple of God. him shall God also destroy."

Plans and propaganda have been under `way for some months with a view to making Rally Day, which falls on this date, not only an inaugural day for the `beginning of the sea- son s work, but also a real, big day in all Canadian Sunday Schools. A programme including a special service for the day has been prepared by a joint committee of the Sunday School Boards of_ the Baptist. Con-I gregational, Methodist and Presbyterianl Churches, and one million copies of thisl havebeen distributed to Canadian Sunday Schools ,of these denominations.

Our bodies, also, as we see fur- ` ther on in this same book (ch. 6:19) are! temples of God and as such are holy.
