With long life will I satisfy him." Axum. religion is a. friend of longev- ity in the fact that it takes the worry out of temporalities. It is not work that kills men, it is worry. When n msn becomes a genuine Christian. he makes over to God not only his af- fections. but his family, his business. his reputation, his body, his mind, " soul-everything. Industrious he wilt be, but never worrying. because God is managing his affairs. How can he worry about business when in answer to his prayers God tells him when to huv and when to sell. and it he gain turn out a beautiful result. and while I am standing there looking at the exquiMte rubric an old Scripture passage comes into my mind, "All things work together for good to them who love God." Is there not rest in that? Is there not longevity in that'? Suppose a man in all the time wor- ried about his reputation? One man says he lies. another says he is stu- pid. another says he is dishonest. and half a dozen printing etrtabluttmenta attack him. and he is in t great state ot exedternent and worry and fume and cannot sleep. But religion comes to him and says: "Man. God is on your side. He will take care of 10'" reputation. If God be for you, who can be against you?" How much should that man worry about his reputation? Not much. If that brok- er who some years ago in Wall street. after he had lost money sat down and wrote atarewell letter to his wife before he blew out his ttrtutur-- If. instead of taking out of his pocket a pistol. he had taken out a well- read New Testament, there would have been one less suicide. o ner- vous and feverish people of the world. this almighty sedative.

"With want or morphine that you ts the gospel of Jesus Chris long lit. wilt I 'satltrty him." I want to take the strain " your nerves and the depression on your soul. and I make two or three experi- ments. Experiment the first: When you so out of this world, it does not make any dithrrence whether you have. been good or bad. or whether you be- iieved truth or error. you will tro straight to glory. "rmtrotraitsle." you say. "My common sense as well as my religion teaches that the bad and iieved truth nr error, you will go straight to glory. "Impossible," you say. "My cummnn sense as well as my religion teaches that the bad and the good cannot live together tor- nwr. You give me no comfort in that experiment." Fhrpshrirrtent the second: wlven you leave this world. yrnt will go into an intermediate state where you can get converted and prenatal for hoaven. “Impossi- ble." you say; “as the tree falleth. so it must lie. and I cannot postpone to an intermediate state that reforma- tion which ought to have been effect- ed in this state." Experiment the third: There la no future world. When a man die: that in the lost ot him. Do not worry about what you ore to do in another state at being; you will not do anything. "Imposi- ble," you say.

'My dear iellow, your Canadian friends mean well; very kind. of course, and all that. But the British Army-wen, it is the British Army." Then, in the most condescending way, as to a mere Colonial, it was explained upon what high and mighty principles the Great British Army was built; how supremely ridiculous it was to suppose that a few thousand raw Colonial irregular volunteers could he of any possible account; how simple an affair this Boer campaign would prove tor FO mighty an engine as the Queen's Army-and all the rut of it.
