If the divine Incarnation was a necessity, all such reasoning in favor of human expiation is fal lacious. It is at this point that you misconceive the radical, essen tial, all sufficient mission oi Jesus Ohrl-st. Your sins may have been v.try aggravated, but the “faithful saying” ot i Tim. i: 15, is “worthy of yonr accep tation.” “Jesus \va.s delivered duly and seriously consider I'ALLEN LE.AVES. ’ n c dll ;,11 t'atk- as -a It.'if." - Icmah 4:5 6. 'J’his is plain and pertinent language. As the leaves fade, so are tyereminded of the fact, that regardless of our presump tions. boasts of health, .strength, .•social standing c-r w:.alth, we must fade and fall soo'uer or la ter as the leaves fade and fall from the branches of the giant oak of the farest. 1-et us pause for a moment, Dkar Editor:—I will write a few lines to the Baptlst, to let its many readers, hear from us. Our beloved pastor, Eld.J. J. Baggett, did not meet with us at his last appointment, but we all met as usual, Saturday, and Bro. Jones preached for 11s. We also had preaching Saturday night, by my.'^eli, and Bro Jones again Sunday, after Sunday school. I feel that the spirit and love of God, was with us. The love of God, in the heart, is like sun- shine. It shines out at the eye.s and brightens the face, and makes even very plain people, beauliful. And the love of God in the heart, makes even bad and disagreeable work, blessed^ so that we shall count it all joy, that God lets us work for Him anywhere, and in any way. We cannot always choose our work, btit whatever it i.s, we can do it for God, and have his blessings in it, just as truly as Stephen did. Perhaps some of you are “set apart’’ to help tired mothers, or be an example to younger brothers and sisters. You may be sure, that in some way, you arc “set apart ’ to minister to others; and if you do in the right spirit, you are ministering to Christ.
