A sufficient dose of tubercle bacilli

Violent exercise and over-faflgue are
powerful allies of the disease. Neither
nutrition nor exercise can save s
us from syphilis or cancer or even V
a coki in the head. Neither careful n

Christian Surrender Means.
Consecration is one of the word:
pressing Christian truth whicl
is been so much used and so oftei
isused that it has lost its 3avor
le writer remembers many ;
onsecration service" which mean
thing to those present except thi
hilling of a certain formula o
ogram. The purpose of the meet
% was excellent, but results wen
eking because it had become i
ere formality.
Paul the apostle knew nothing o
iy theory of consecration. He knev
id lived and proclaimed such ai
landonment of self to Christ am
5 cause as really required m
atement in words?it was his life
We close today a three-month se
^s of studies in the Christian life
e began at the rieht noint hv rnn
iering "Christian Sonship," for ni
le can live until he is born am
i one can live a Christian life un
he is born again. We have con
iercd together God's grace ii
eping, renewing, guiding, blessing
id communing with his own. Ai
ese precious truths call us to de
to ourselves to Christ in glad am
11 consecration.
Men give themselves thus to th
ilding of a fortune, to the prop
ation of a political or social the
y, to the pursuit of an occupatioi
profession. Why should nol th
iristian give himself in like mens
e for Christ and his holy cause?
Paul, in the verses of our lessor
ows that spirit ana boldly dc
ares that he follows Christ re
irdless of trying circumstance--h
ics so now, "in the body," no
tor in glory. And it matters nc
aether it bo by life or dcath^hrisl
shall be magnified."
I. "What Then?" (v. 18).
Pnu! was imprisoned for the gos
l's soke. Did that stop him? no
: made the very guards who wer
signed to watch him in his hous
to missionaries of the cross. H
on each one as lie took his desij
ited period of service and ser
m out as a testimony to "th
hole praetorian guard and to a
e rest" (v. 13 It. V.).
Then, some of his Christian assc
atcs taking advantage of the fac
at he was imprisoned, went ol
preach just to show that the
ere as good as lie. They mad
oil- very preaching an expressio
their envv ot his popularity an
iped to heap more sorrow upo
m. Did ho get angry and bitterl
jht back? No; he thanked Go
tat Christ was preached. We nee
lore of that spirit in our day.
II. "In My Body."
One of the glaring fallacies of hi
inn thinking is the idea that i
jme favorable time in the l'utur

liglity deeds or serve the Lor<

III. "To Live Is Christ and to D
i Gain" (v. 21).
Humanly speaking when a matte

jestion whether death may not ii

at be the case and every effort

Spiteful Words
A spiteful word cuts both ways,
lander hurts the man or worn;
rho spreads it in a more deadl
tough unseen, way than it hurts i
itended victim. Victor Hugo r
ly says, "Every sword has tt
dges; and the man who woun
'ith one, wounds himself with t
liter."
