John Hunter, representing the: down town mission problems of the United Church of Canada, gave an address in Central Church on Sunday morning, repealing the great need, the call and the answer being made by many in this work of reclaiming and juplifting the down and out and disâ€" lcourag‘ed folk of the downâ€"town cenâ€" tres. One might say the key note of the address to be "Does ‘it Pay to \Kee;l){ the old Church Open,"‘ and the speaker‘s remarks were a revelation along these very lines, especially in the face of the statements made of the Canadian population served. A survey some few weeks ago revealed the fact of home after home of.Engâ€" lish speaking people, yea even Canâ€" adian born citizens, did not know of the church or what it stood for, did not own a copy of the word of God in their homes, and their children had grown up into young manhood and womanhood and knew naught of the church or the work it attempted to. carry on, and, sad to state, cared, much less, so indifferent had they beâ€" come. In the majority of cases povâ€"| erty reigned supreme, suffering, disâ€" ease and want seemed but the heriâ€" tage of the home and the children,, little ones came into the world unâ€"| loved and in many instances died because of insufficient care or nourâ€" ishment. In other cases brave hearts struggled courageously against all‘ kinds of difficulties in an attempt to make a living for themselves and famin, JInbil: I CC â€" oo leneabe n in n iess Two Sisters" stand guard over CENTRAL CHURC! â€" isosny Rev.

We see, too, how difficult, this task is when we compare it with mastery of speech. If it be hard to set a watch upon our lips, it is harder to set a watch upon our thoughts. All speech has social reactions, and social pruâ€" dencee is a great deterrent. If you speak your mind out you may lose your billet, possibly you may lose your friend. But thought is hiddenâ€"it is shroudedâ€"it moves in dark and imâ€" penetrable places; it has not apparent social reactions. . A man may be thinkâ€" ing bitter thoughts of you, yet meet you with a smile upon his face. A tyâ€" And if he has to practise through hard hours to produce such melody without, how can we hope, without an equal effort, to create a like melody within? There are two moral tasks which seem to me supremely difficult and yet supremely necessary. One is the redemption of our time; the other is the mastery of our thoughts. Proâ€" bably most of us, right on to the end, are haunted by a sense of failure in these matters. But the great thing is to keep on struggling. â€" . _ A Things have not altered in the least. Everything is as it was an hour ago. The burden of the day has not grown heavier, nor has anybody ceased to love us. Yet all the world seems difâ€" ferent, and the brightness has vanishâ€" ed from the sky under the tyranny of intruding thoughts. No one can achieve serenity who does not practise the conâ€" trol of thought. You cannot build a lovely house out of dirty or discolored bricks.. The power of our thoughts is so tremendous over health and happiâ€" ness and character that to master them is moral victory. nsl 1e ic. Years of training are behind that melody which seems to come rippling from his fingers. . se 3 We are all familiar with the differâ€" ence that is made by the thoughts which arise within our hearts. Often they cast a shadow on our universe. A man may waken in the morning singing, and address himselfcheerfulâ€" ly to duty, and then, suddenly, some unbidden thought may creep or flash into his mindâ€"and in a moment the heavens become cloudy and the music of the morning vanishes, and there is fret and bitterness within. This mastery of our tnoughts is difâ€" ficult, but then everything beautiful is difficult. The kind of person I have no patience with is the person who wants everything made easy. When an artist paints a lovely picture he does that by a process of selection. Certain features of the landscape he rejects; other aspects he welcomes and emâ€" braces. And if to do that even the man of genius has to scorn delights and live laborious days, how can we hope without the sternest discipline to paint beautiful pictures in the mind ? So is it with the musician when he plays for us some lovely piece of musâ€" "Why .do thoughts arise in your hearts?"â€"Luke xxiv. 38. This Week‘s Sermonette they are facing and the need of help. After listening.to the address of the Rev. Mr. Hunter, the Sunday School executive decided to donate the collecâ€" tions of next Sunday, it being their anniversary day, to this most worthy cause. 5 I 14 master, If, then, someone were to ask me how is a man to practise this great discipline, remembering the experience of the saints, I think I should answer in some such way as this: You must summon up the resources of your will. You must resist beginnings. You must remember that the most hideous of sins is to debauch the mind. You must fill your being. so full of higher interâ€" ests that when the devil comes and clamors for admission he will find there is not a chair for him to sit on, Above all, you must endeavor daily to walk in a closer fellowship with Christ, It is always easier to have. lovely thoughts when walking with the Altoâ€" gether Lovely. For then He breathes on us, "soft as the breath of evening," and says "Receive ye the Holy Spirit," and in the Holy Spirit there is power. He who searcheth all things can dirâ€" ect and dominate the. hidden things. He can empower us to bring every thought into captivity to Christâ€" "For every virtue we. possess, And every victory won, And every thought of holiness Are His alone." i Again by our thoughts we shall be judgedâ€"that is always implied in the New Testament. Christ came, and is going to. come again, "that the thoughts of many hearts may be reâ€" vealed." But I refuse to believe that men are to be judged by anything that lies beyond their powerâ€"to credit that would make the Judge immoral. Then does not the great apostle say, "If there be any virtue . . .think on these things.". It would be mockery to command us so to think if the controlling of our thoughts was quite beyond us.â€" It may. be difficult, as fine things always are, but the clear voice of the Word of God proclaims that it is within the capacity of everybody. ever Our Lord says that anything is blessed He wants us to understand that it is possible. > Yet no: man can have purity of heart, as distinguished {rom purity of conduct, who is not able to grapple with his thoughts.
