Nothing is more pleasing1 to the
luman heart than friendship, but
. like most other things that are
worth having, it is a costly luxu-
ry. It is a mistake to suppose
that friendship is a thing that
springs up in a night like a gourd
riñe without observation and
without care. We enjoy no luxu-
ry that costs us more. The fruits
•f the south and the fabrics of the
far east which feed and clothe the
king are delicacies no more rare
and costly than genuine friend-
ship. Your true friend has cost
you more, in the real values of
life, than if you had secured his
friendship by paying for it his
weight iu gold. If any man is
disposed to doubt the truth of
this proposition let him examine
in history some striking cases of
true friendship. Let him ask
Damon, as he steps into the cell
to take the place of Pythias the
condemned prisoner, if friend-
ship is an inexpensive thing. Let
him ask Jonathan, as in favor of
bis friend David he resigns an
inquestioned legal title to a king-
dom, if friendship is an inexpen-
sive thing. When John the Bap-
tist would be a friend to Jesus he
must do it at the cost of his own
disciples, his own exalted position
and his own life.
Just as civil society is possible
only by each member of it con-
ceding, for the good of all, cer-
tain things to which be had a per-
fect natural right, so genuine
friendship is only possible when
the parties to it are willing to
make concessions each in favor of
the other. Every worthy and
lasting friendship is built upon
the bones of self-sacrifice and
baptized in the blood of self-offer-
kjg. The strongest friendship
that the world knows is that be-
tween Christ and the believer.
And this exalted relationship am-
ply justiñes the doctrine I am
contending for. In order to the
establishment of this friendship
it was needful that Christ should
give bis life on the cross, and
that the believer, on his part,
should "present his body a living
sacrifice."
A
The Beat Prayer.
It is not to be feared that if
most of our prayers could be
properly interpreted they would
mean, "My will be done?" The
prayer "Thy will be done" is the
broadest, deepest and highest
supplication that saints on earth
•r saints and angels in heaven,
yea* that the only begotten of the
Father can offer. And it meets
the need of an awakened sinner.
One who offers this petition in-
telligently and sincerely surren-
ders his will to the will of God.
The trouble with man is that he
has been doing his own will in-
stead of the will of God. This
way leads to innumerable and in-
extricable entanglements.
The picture in the parable of
the prodigal son correctly repre-
sents the outcome of a life in the
pursuit of one's own will. It does
not always lead tothe same depths
of shame, but it always leads
downward. There is a supreme
will in the universe, and by this
perfect standard all other wills
must be regulated or there can
be no peace, no harmony.
If we shall leave ourselves in
the band of the Lord, and honest-
ly seek to do His will and follow
where He leads, He will lead us by
still waters of peace and hope,
and make us to lie down in green
pastures of rich spiritual satisfac-
tion. Rejecting the will of our
Heavenly Father we lose the good
of this life and the glory of the
life to come. The son of an Karl
of Aberdeen quarreled with his
father, left home, and spent the
rest of his days as a sailor before
the mast, preferring bis own way
rather than to submit his own
will and enjoy the honor and es-
tates of a peer of the British
realm. Thousands of men are
living a hard life—for the way of
the transgressor is always hard—
rather than give up their own
way and become joint heirs with
Jesus Christ.
This is an appropriate petition
for an afflicted soul. It is "atural
to pray in affliction, and to ask for
the removal of the pain. This is
not wrong, provided we do not
stop there. Pain was unwelcome
to the human nature of Jesus and
of Paul, and they prayed that the
cup might pass from them; but
they did not stop there. Jesus
added, "Nevertheless, not my
will, but Thine, be done." It
may be impossible to take away
the cup without great loss to the
cause or righteousness and to the
soul of the sufferer. This is an
appropriate petition for the new
convert who is seeking for an
opening for his life work. All
our talents and all our substance
belong to him. Happy for us if
at the last be shall confess that
we have made good use of our
stewardship.
This petition should be in the
mouth and heart of everyone as
the future.
know not what a day may bring
forth For the most part* when
we offer this petition we are pray-
ing in the dark. We place our
hand in the hand of our Heavenly
Father and say, " Lead Thou me
on: I will follow whithersoever
Thou leadest." We know not by
what way he will conduct us.
We know not the Way, but we
do know the end of the way. We
know not His will concerning the
health of our bodies, the success
of our financial operations, or the
outcome of our social plans, but
we know His will concerning
our eternal destiny. We know
whither we are going when we
arc following His will. He has
told us. He is "not willing that
any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance." "He
that doeth the will of God abidcth
forever." Jesus said, "Father I
will that they also whom Thou
hast given me be with me where
lam; that they may behold my
glory." And yet again he said,
"I will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that where I
am, there ve may be also."
Amen! Even so, come, Lord Je-
sus! "Thy will be done."
