Live Up to Our Religion

Religion, in conclusion, is a personal link to blind me to God. No one can save my soul for me. No one can save my soul except myself. Nor dare I interfere with anyone in this God-given privilege of serving God. God has given us life and everything that we possess. He has surrendered practically everything to us, but there is one thing alone that He will not surrender, will not even share with others, unless we steal it from Him—our ' allegiance, our loyalty, our service, our love. And that is the tribute we endeavour to offer to Him by living up to Religion.

Man's Debt Furthermore, Religion is man's endeavour to repay the debt he owes to His Creator. All that we- have, all that we are, is God's free gift to us, and we hold it only at His good pleasure. We all judge as contempt tible the one who always takes and never gives, the one who, having obtained what he desires, even lacks the e to thank the hand that feeds him. How much more contemptible the one who grumbles when God allows a little sickness or ill-luck to interfere with his grasping ambitions! Such an individual, though he may not admit it, even to himself, certainly hopes to reach Heaven some day. And, indeed, he is quite right, for Heaven. is a God-planted hope in the human. heart, and man would be foolish to crush it out, But as usual he wants something for nothing NOW is the time to start fortifying your system against winter ills.

But be sure to get a Religion also teaches us how to reach heaven and escape hell. "Oh my, such old-world ideas," scoffs the superior man. "Alice in Wonderland stuff,".grumbles the hard-headed business man; "I have more practical problems to take up my, valuable time." Such a type of business man ie well-named,—"hard-headed." Surely, if there is humour in heaven, the angels must smile at some of our big men—as we smile at little tots who are vastly more wrapped up in their toys and their castles than in the problems of responsible life. Big men who settle eternal problems with an infallibility they deny to God's Church with an ease and assurance which are equalled only by the inmocence with which they take it for granted that the Creator will conform His plans to their notion of what should or should not be! reliable vitamin tested preparation.
