"Nothing is left that is not every day during the year that is at its close, because of the deep satisfaction, we will say "ALL years for closing. So much to be done and so little accomplished.

"What are we going to do with it Let us make one resolution. Let us fasten it on the walls of our mem'ory. Let us be loyal to it. "This year for Christ." Did you ever see posted up on the doors of factories and workyards the notice "No hands wanted. Keep out —this means YOU." The notice is blunt, almost cruel, absolutely devoid of sentiment. But on the walls of many a business house, in many places of pleasure, on many a heart, a notice very similar might be hung, with us in our pleasures and in our sorrows. He would fill our life full of joy, purity and helpfulness. In the coming year, will we let him in Most 'Of us are engaged in some kind of business. Perhaps we are doing something that we know is not right. We are selling something slightly fraudulent or harmful but In wnich there is great profit. We are engaged in an occupation dishonoring to Christ. We are in an office where the salary is large and the work easy when we know we ought to be preparing for the gospel ministry. A knock comes. There at the door is Jesus. We are ashamed of our surroundings. We send word, "Please go around to the back. I will see you In the private offlce." But no, Christ oomes in only at the front door. The books must be open to his examination, the shelves ready for hiis inspection. If we are to be faithful to our motto, "This year for Christ," we must take him into our confldence in every part of our business life. Picture again, a home brightly light Prayer Meeting Topic For December SOth. By Rev. J. M. Johnston. Christ's Universal Kingdom.— John 3:30. 1. Its subjects. 2. Its growth. 3. Its extent. Passages: Matt. 13:31, 32. Mark 6:26-32. Luke 13:18, 19. Heb. 12: 28. Mark 9:1. Luke 4:43. Luke 17:20, 21. Luke 21:31. Mark 15:43. Acts 1:3. Psalms: 103:19-22. 102:16-22. "The Kingdom of God." In all essentials the Church is a real Kingdom, in which the government of Christ is truly exercised. His government is exercised by officers in a settled course. They are duly commissioned. All put under Christ." So in this broad sense all men are subjects under His reign, but His obedient subjects are those who have professed his name and render due homage to Him as Lord and King. 2. We hear a great deal about heaven and equally as much, if not more, about the church, but do we stop to consider how littit: Christ had to say about heaven and only twice does He refer to the church, but if we examine the scriptures and especially His teachings, we will find that they are full of the Kingdom. Before His birth the kingdom was made the subject of prophecy, "Of His kingdom there shall be no end." Christ's Kingdom in all this world had a beginning. Upon one occasion our Lord spake a parable in which He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in "No Christ wanted. Keep out—this 89:15-18. 110:1-6. 72:13-17. 2:5-9. means you." And yet Christ is patiently standing at our doors, knock 1. Its Subjects. "A Kingdom is ing for admittance. He wants to an organized community, ruled come into our life. He wants a riglit over by a monarch in order to to every department of it. He wants proper regulation and well-being. to be a partner in our business. He The King gives authority to wise desires to abide as a welcome guest and equitable laws. The govern in our homes.

So it is regarding the kingdom of ercise beneficial rule. The kingdom may occupy more than one God. It grows in the hearts of men and it is still growing and is becoming more powerful. It country, for the community may be widely scattered over land and changes the life and hearts of sea. Wherever the sole authority men. It grows inwardly and is seen outwardly. The Word of God of one monarch is acknowlelged, is the seed. When sown in the there exists the one kingdom." We heart, good soil, it takes root and take the Church to be the proper grows, being watered by the grace Kingdom of Christ. Christ Himself claimed His right to rule. No of God and divine love. tice the expressions: "My kingdom," "The kingdom of heaven," 3. Its extent. The Kingdom of Christ is Universal. It is to fill the whole earth. This was the promise made by the Father to the Son. In 2nd Psalm we read, "Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possessions." In Psalm 72. "He shall have dominion also from BUSY DOCTOR Sometimes Overlooks a Point. The physician is such a busy man that he sometimes overlooks a valuable point to which his attention may be called by an intelligent patient who is a thinker. "About a year ago my attention was called to Grape-Nuts by one of my patients," an Ohio physician writes. "At the time my own health was bad and I was pretty well run down but I saw at once that the theories behind Grape-Nuts were sound, and that if the food was all that was claimed, it was a perfect food. "So I commenced to use Grape- Nuts with cream twice a day and in a short time I began to improve in every way and I am now much stronger, feel better and weigh more than ever before in my life. "I know that all of this good is due to Grape-Nuts and I am firmly convinced that the claims made for the food are true. "I have recommended, and still recommend, Grape-Nuts to a great many of my patients with splendid results, and in some cases the improvement of patients on this fine food has been wonderful. "As a general food, Grape-Nuts stands alone." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."
