The people have wrought .well In years that, have past.- But that record' cannot he placed to. our credit as a present success. Bet us be up and doing now! Dot present achievement be our aim! 'Confessedly, there are as great op­ portunities now as at any time in the history of the church! This fact should hut bind us closer to our source of power. I t 4s calculated to redouble our faith in the One who alone can give success. We are a united church. As -children of faith we dare move but one way. It Is forward-. Let the on­ ward, moving stream be the 'symbol of our Christianity. Forward! i t has the right ring. But remember to have . a Forward movement we must first have ah Upward’Movement. —Large congregations are maintain­ ed by the effort and spirit of the .church members. Advisedly do we say the members. The church Is theirs. The success of its worship and- work depends largely upon them. - The music and the minister have their part as a gathering power, bat not to so great an extent as you wodlcl think as a holding ,power. The Clif­ ton church should have a permanent­ ly large congregation.’ The key to the situation is with the membership. Talk favorably about your ,church. Make it the topic of conversation day by day among your friends. Others will catch the contagion of Interest from you. Braise your church's work. Com-- mend its- minister. Give publicity to his pulpit"messages. EnCdurage the officers and workers, Fray for the blessing of God upon the work, Then, too, cordially welcome strangers. Fob low them up. Assist In Interesting them in the work. - —The first response to the call for advance should be along the line ot regular attendance at the publlo wor­ ship services of Sabbath, Here 1 b the logical place to begin an advance, . Sabbath is the red letter day of our cause. The public Worship services are the pivotal services of the church. Attend! bring your aches and pains, your doubts and anxieties* your joys apd aspirations. You will be vastly better off with them in God's house than in your own. Here we cultivate reverence and spiritual mlndedneas. —You have summoned me to lead your Worship and your work. lhave given my assent I can lead only as there are those who follow. Many heart* are aflame with holy zeal. God awaits to 'bless. Let us—pastor, par- Ishoners and' patrons—get together now on this first proposition, and re­ main together. All at It and always at i t Let this be otir watchword, our shibboleth, CHURCH SERVICES. •UNITED PRESBYTERIAN. Habbath School a t 9:80, Begin the new year in the Sabbath School.

During the days of Joshua Israel served Jehovah, hut his Influence dfd not.last long after his death.. Ever and anon God must needs raise up a Joshua to lead his church. Wo have another “Joshua*—Jems—who is ever with his people and we do net need any earthly leader (Fs. 82;5; Phil, 2:12), Still God Is working through human agents and In every crisis raises up his spirit-clothed loaders. Mo doubt this “another gen­ eration” honored Joshua as a "hero but they" did not follow in hlS obedi­ ence to Jehovah, I t is easy to dis­ miss God’s mighty deeds among men by Calling them myths and traditions, or to .deny the “accuracy of the Tec-. ords." Doubtless the Israelites felt their obligations to their neighbors and fellow-tribesmen, bnt they lost a realizing sense of their obligations to God. , Sin of Idolatry. If. They forsook..the Lord, yv, 11:13, Backsliding Israel is a ‘prov­ erb, Over and again there was a re­ turn to- true worship and just as often a forsaking. For centuries Je­ hovah bore with, forgave/ restored and punished this “Stiffnecked” peo­ ple, until the final overthrow and cap: tivity burned Into their consciousness the ‘sin of idolatry. The* reason, for this was their disobedience in not putting out of the land "the gods of the peoples that were round about them.” Liberality of this sort always results In spiritual ruin. A nation’s Ideals about God not alone determine its moral Status but eventually its physical and temporal welfare ia .6 well. Their .way was not evil in their own sight and doubtless’ they were con­ sidered very' progressive; and' their course an evidence of greater wisdom than that of their fathers,, hut it was "evil in the sight of the Lord” We do not understand that these Israelites took up the ■worship of Baal, the sun god, with all of its- abominations at once, but rather sought a combination, a compromise worship, which of course led to the inevitable forsaking, of God. Verse 12 indicates the ' 1 base Ingratitude 'of such a course for he it was “which brought, them out of the land of Egypt” (Titus 2:14; 2 Bet. 0:1). III. The Anger of the Lord, W* 14,1 6 - There is no anger,like, that of outraged Jove: We are apt to forget the other attributes o f,God, those of iustice, holiness and purity and that God can net look upon Iniquity (Hub. 1:13). The light men enjoy only heightens and makes mote black their offenses. God's anger can “wax hot” and here he “delivered them into the hands of the spoilers" that spoiled them.” . ■ ■.. .• God-Keep* Hi* Promise*.. IV. And the Lord • Raised Up •Judges, R. V. vv. 16-19. These were men who felt the bitterness of the distress of their nation. God keeps to the letter his promises* both of blessing and of punishment, but "In wrath he remembers mercy." These judges. had higher aspirations than simply to judge, for they "saved” the people. We who live In this present dispensation of grace have one who is now the savior but wjm Bhall yet be the judge. That these righteous leaders ot the people had a difficult task is suggested by verse 17. The hearts of the people "went a whoiv ing," lusted after the things repre­ sented by Baal and Aahtaroth, which history tells us were too vile to be enumerated. The judges secured for the people of Israel their right* ac­ cording to the mercy of Jehovah. At the same time they were ruler*, and as such secured for Individual* their rights. The worship of Jehovah always taught and impressed moral and spiritual truth aud required the con­ fessing and forsaking of evil, These judge* were God-endowed and did not prostitute their gifts. They were God- led, saw Israel's need and had cour­ age, faith and seal enough to show Israel that the first thing they needed to do was to forsake the evil and re­ turn to a life of obedience to God. Their equipment was In that "the Lord was with the judge" (v, 18), Notice that God was with those whom he "raised Up." Of course not all ot the time, nor all of the laud at all times was thus tom and being punished 8 ? Is clearly suggested by the stories of Ruth, Hannah and Gamhel, As Jehovah was with the judges, as they were exercising fidel­ ity in their obedience Of his word, they brought to the people deliver­ ance as long as they lived (v. 19). The word ’’repented," which is in verse 18, is one which signifies grief and Sorrow. KIULTH* C O U G H AHECU f tlmW ffO S j wmmm J mm 3p3 Hutchison & Gifoney’s * . t.
