THS BOOK OF LIFE.
We are told ia Scripture that men
are to be judged out of the Book of
Life. This Book is net a myth or a
mystery. It is the Book wherein is set
down the actual account betweea (iod
and man; the debit and credit aceeant
between man and his Maker. That ac
count is aot a fiction of the imagina
tion. It. is actual and real. It is the
Everlasting Equation between what God
has done for man, and what man b*?
done or tried to do for God; Upon rti&t
account man la judged. His thoial
worth ia measured by it./ Men
are being judged out ef such /a Book
today. A man ia accounted be mor
ally defective who repays with indif
ference or ingratitude his tarsals, his
friends, or his eeuntry, whose affee
tien loyalty and protection have been
lavished upon him. Abeve them sll,
there stands eur infinite iadebtedaees

TUB FKAR OF ST. PAUL.
A man can be measured in many
waya. One of them ia by the. quality
ef his fears. If you know what a mas
is afraid of, you know what kind of a
man he is. It has been said that men
.ia our day are afraid of but three
things; failure, sickness and poverty r
But St. Paul waa afraid of none of
theee things. He bad met uiem all,
and they had no tsrror for him. St.
Paul h?d only one fear. He was afraid
that he might become useless and un
profitable. The word "sast-awsy" in
1 Cor. 9:27 really means "good-for
nothing." With St Paul that was a
Tiatfo- fear. Tit bn (feted his body and
