Now in a iurnace or stove you have just the right draught. or you have too much or too little.

THE PRESENT DOLLAR

The present dollar has been the ruin oi many men and many instit- utlons. For the sake oi the dollar In sight hundreds oi future dollars have been sacriiiced, A boy leaves school with an education that is worth little or nothing to him ior the sake oi a job worth a iow pal- try dollars and thus sacrifices his iuiure. An apprentice leaves bis hali learned trade ior a job that gives him a iew more dollars and as a result he never becomes a tradesman. Examples might be in- deiinltely multiplied to demonstr- ate the iolly oi acting without reck- oning with the iuturo. The iarmer understands this when he refuses to be tempted by a big price ior his best cow. his best brood mare or sow. The merchant understands It when he reiuses to accept more than the regular price ior an art- icle ior which he might get s big- ger price by cheating his customer and so losing ilim.

many oi‘ them also are here. it is Jesus‘ ideal oi what n christian should be. Have you sometimes wishes you could have a few minut- es oi’ quiet talk with Jesus? l mean iace to iuce, as two oi us might sit and talk together. You have thought you would ask Him to say very simply and plainly jllsl what He expects oi’ you. Well. I [IB- llevc lie would answer in words something like those of this- sevenili chapter oi John. it was ntl |the time oi Feast oi Tsbernaclesu ffliere was a vast multitude oi {Jews tbero irom all parts oi the .world. it was like an immense con- Lyeiition, but largerlthan any con- ‘viantlon we‘ know. The people were not entertuindl in tlleliolnes, but .'ll_\'cil for seven days in leaiy "booths made oi branches oi trees. lt ivus the last day oi’ tlic least.

Holy Spirit upon the nation 0t Israel. Just then Jesus speaks, and anilil the silence oi the intently watching throng His voice rings out; "it any man thirst let him come unto Meand drink; lie that believeth on Me. as the Scripture saith. out oi his‘ belly shall ilnw rivers oi living vivater." Mark that significant closing clause.

oi what a true christian down in this world should be, and may be. Every word is iull oi meaning.

The henrt oi tho sentence is in the last W0i‘(-—-"Wllt0I‘." Water is an essential oi liie. Absence oi water means suiiering and sick- ness, dearth hnd death. Plenty oi good water means liie. All the history oi the world clusters about the water courses. Study the his- tory oi the rivers, the‘ seashores. and lake edges, and you know the history oi earth. Those men who heard Jesus speak would instinct- ively think oi the Jordan. It was their river. Travelers say that no valley exceeded in beauty and iruit- iuinesg that valley oi the Jordan. made so by those swiit waters. No hillside s0 iair in their_ green beauty, nor so wealthy in heavy loads oi irult as those sloping down to the edge oi that stream. Now plainly Jesus is talking oi some- thing that may, through us exert as decided an influence upon the lives oi those we touch as water has exerted, and still exerts. on the history oi the earth, and as this Jordan did in that wondsriul. historic Palestine. Mark the quant- ity oi water-"rivcrs." Not a Jordan merely, that would bo wond- eriul enough, but Jordana-m Jordan, and a Nile, and a Eu-
