FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Washington Gladden

[The Independent.]

The duty of preparedness for moral crises is the practical improvement of the New Testament teaching on the second advent. No considerable body of people will ever again anticipate the personal return of Jesus to the earth. The pervading of society by his spirit, which is actually taking place, is something a great deal better. In the present vocabulary the command to watch means to be men of girded loins, ready for duty, come when and how it may. The way to overcome evil is to achieve manhood which scorns all baseness. The time to overpower temptation is ten or twenty years before it solicits. The wise man will be forehanded in his morals as well as in his business, not saving his neck by a hair's breadth in a struggle of tremendous fury, but nourishing and exercising himself to a moral vigor that will scarcely feel the fight. Some of earth's noblest souls do not even know the triumphs they are winning, since they made their fight so long before

[Pacific Christian Advocate.]
