The mission nf Jercmiuli wns to
preucli scriiinns in u pcnplu who
hail conic im.i ,i u-mMe cundiiion
because of threatened war. God
warned them to understand that,
even though they were his people,
they must continually ucknowlege
his sovereignty over them, and
that they must keep in right rela
tionship with Him if they would
prosper.
God mid Jeremiah to go down
to the potter's house and get an
illustration for the next Sabbath's
sermon. The preacher went down
and watched the potter for a while
as he fashioned vessels of clay on
the wheel. Suddenly the potter
crushed one of the vessels that was
almost finished, and that seemed
to Jeremiah as good as any of the
others. Having destroyed the
vessel that did not please him, the
potter pounded the clay into a
lump and began to make it into a
new vessel.
God told Jeremiah to go and
preach, using that as his illustra
tion. For as the potter has cower
over the clay to make and change
as he pleases, so is the nation in the
hands ot God to do with as seems
best to Him.
For three years we had watched
the nations of the world being
crushed down again into lumps of
clay for the starting of the vessels
mat would be more pleasing to the
Poller. Then, suddenly, our own
nation that seemed to us to be
growing into a vessel beautiful and
strong felt the hands of the Potter,
and down went the walls. The
plans so well laid and so nearly
worked out are spoiled and almost
forgotten, and now we are a lump
of clay again in the hands of the
Potter, and He is pressing and
smoothing and moulding as we
turn upon the wheel. God grant
that the new vessel may be one
that seemeth good unto the Potter.
It is noi for us to try to mould
the national life and purpose with
out God and his Son Jesus Christ,
into whose hands the nations of
the world have been given; it is
for us to make sure first of all that
our nation is right with God and
that we have the spirit of submis
sion and obedience to Him. Then
the vessel will come out a vessel of
honor, for the hands of God will
be moulding the clay on the wheel.

A BROTHERLY HAND.
'Twas only a grasp in ihe hurry,
The busile and business oF life,
The sirong, friendly grip of a broiher,
As ihe crowd jostled on in iis sirife;
But ihe grasp left a lingering feeling
Of friendship, encouragement, cheer,
And you fell all refreshed and light-hearted,
Like the world wasn't all dark and drear;
'Twas only a hearty, warm handshake,
Grasp with its greeting so bland,
Yet somehow all day seemed ihe brighter
For that grasp of a broiherly hand.
'Twas only a much in ihe darkness,
When trials and dangers were rife;
A warning, a guide, a protection,
An omen of good 'mid the sirife;
'Twas only a hand stretching outward,
To beckon, or cauiion, or cheer,
A monitor piloting upward
A counselor faithful and near;
'Twas only a touch in the darkness
Thai touch had a meaning demand
No signal so true and unfailing
Like the touch of a broiherly hand.
SECOND COMMISSION.
Is that Vision of the Young Lieutenant Coming to
Thousands of Young Men After the War Is
Over?
W 4
"Di;ar I:athi;k," the soldier boy's letter read,
"I know you and mother will be glad lo learn thai
I have passed the final tests in the officers' school.
I received my commission as lictcneni this morn
ing Some nf the fellows who used to beat me at
Ihe university in mathematics and in chemistry
failed lo pass; they could nut stand the grind. I'm
iioi crowing ovtr them, of course, bui I can't help
feeling set up a little over my fii at commission, for,
if l do say il, I worked hard, and I thought of vou
and mother, and I was bound to pass."
The middle-aged couple who had given lo the
service their only son read his letter with tears of
pride.
"The boy is doing well," said the father, as he
perused it a second lime. " 'Licuienani' sounds
right to me. U'e must not forget lo address Ins
letiers thai way. He has earned his title."
The mother murmured asseni and tenderly
placed the letter with ihe others that the boy had
written since leaving home.
A year afterwards a letter from the boy came from "somewhere at
Ihe front," bearing the mark of the "Y. M. C. A ," and in the hand
writing of a Red Cross nurse. This is the way it ran, in part :
"I have been here three months, and they tell me you have been
kepi informed of my condition. This is the first lime I have been able
lo dictate a letter." (Here followed un account of the engagement in
winch he had been wounded ) "While lying in this hospital I have
had a remarkable experience. There are five nationalities in my ward,
and the Red Cross administers its wonderful aid to us all alike, of
course. A lew nights ago, in a sort of waking vision, I seemed to see
these nations lifting up beseeching hands for help to be lifted out of
darkness into light. Then a figure came walking through the ward all
in white, and it was the Christ. He stopped by my cot, and I heard
Him say as plain as I ever heard you or mother speak, 'I commission
you, with thousands of others like you, to preach the gospel to the
world thai has noi heard or heeded it '
"All (hat was as clear to me as any real happening. Il was a real
happening. I cannot describe to you ihe wonderful beauty of thai
figure as it came down beiween the cots. Bui I, as I lay there that
night, said io my Loid and Muster ihai I would accept His commission.
If I am spared, I will Come back as a gospel messenger to fight the
bailie for souls. I have received my second commission, father, and
it is greater than the first, don't you think?"
Is that vision of the young lieutenant coming to
thousands of young men afier the war is over? They
have been living the life of adventure and excitement.
It will not be easy for them lo senle down to the com
monplaces of civic and business life. But the world
will lie open to ihe great adventure of the gospel mes
senger as never before. The naiions that have fell
the hand of Christ held out to them through the Red
uunmiu hie i uuNK mens v.nnsnan Association,
and the other agencies of mrrcy, will be ready as nev
er before to accept Him. May ihe vision of Him and His great com
mission come to thf vnung men now in the fighting ranks as it came to
this one in the hosi . I "over there "
