W H Y BE I N E A R N E S T ? People about the church would

be offended if they were told that they were not in earnest. Who wants to be charged with insin-cerity ? The good church folk would be mortal ly offended, would probably resent it or de-mand an apology for such an in-dictment. At least it would be treated as unkind and with out foundation. However, when one weighs human lives and their en-deavors by results, when church membership is put in the scales of eternal justice, when one re-views the yesterday by the stand-ard of gain for Christ and the church, a human soul sobs alone as he sees gross indifference on every hand.

Now this idea of being in earnest in our religion is perfect-ly legitimate and in every sense honorable, in fact, it is the only way to find happiness and enjoy the finer values of Christianity.

If a man desires wealth, if he would accumulate money, there is one essential t ha t over-rides all else, Be in earnest. I have known people who have fallen headlong in love, in fact, one never gets very fa r in tha t adventure un-less he is in earnest. I have known people who were greatly interested in gett ing an educa-tion, but they were always in earnest.

In religion man presumes much on God, many go along with the company, they are nominal cfturch members. Why pray be exercis-ed? God is in His Heaven and all is well. A half-hearted, luke-

NO. 24 warm, indifferent church mem-ber will never tu rn human souls to righteousness, he will never shine like the fetars forever and forever.

I t is a t ra i t of the human soul to be active, alive, f i red with spiritual joy, actuated to dare and do, s trange and wonderful impul-ses urge and probe every God man that has been sincere in en-listing in the a rmy of the Lord. Activity is a passion t h a t refuses to be quieted when one is born of God.

When a soul receives pardon and is released f rom the bondage of the adversary, then ' is the spiritual life real and f raugh t with t remendous meaning. I t is as though the fires banked a re suddenly a heated f lame. A force mighty and unseen possessed the soul. One must do or go, or speak, action is the only relief, a new and unerr ing power has taken command.

Now, m y church friend, why not be in earnes t? If you are, the unseen current will sweep you on. No power on land or sea can re ta rd its onward sweep. If you are not in earnest scornful winds will sweep across your earthly tomb and in f a r off years, too f a r to count, no one in eter-nity will ever rejoice because you once Sojourned on this ear th.
