THE writer, in the t'ollowing "counsels," written in moments snatclied from a very busy life, has endeavoured tt) '"^ive • the j;race of Ood hath tasted death" for vou, and tlierefore tliat (vod lias transferred the penalty of your sins to your ij/traf Siih- Htifntf ; and if you are at this moment, therefore, trusting Jesus as you»' juM'sonal Saviour, you have saving faith, Youi' faith may be very ireak^ but if it is faith iii the right Peri^on — Jesna— \i is aaving ftith not- withstanding. The main point is not lunr or hofv mnrh we trust, but irhom we trust. The iiafest thing in the world for any pooi' sinner to do is to trufil Jen'iii^ with his soul. 6 Counsels to i: I He may make all kinds of mistakes in other matters, but he cannot make a mistake in trusting Jesus Christ with the interests of his soul. Satan often tries to persuade young Christians that this is presijymption on thei?" part. But surely it cannot be presumption to act in obedience to Ood's warrant and command — " This is His com- mandment, that we should believe in the name of His Sou Jesus Christ." (1 John iii. 23.) Our comfort and strength depend upon the habitual repefUion of our first act of simple trust in Christ. Salvation is always in the present tense. " T am trusting thee. Lord Jesus ; trusting only Thee," " T live a MOMENT AT A TIME," " Jesus save me SI Young Christimis. The time can never come wlien you can (li-spense with this constant and simple faith in Jesus. Christians of iifty years' stand- ing have laid up no " stock of gi-ace," but .. ed to go (hiy by (hiy, the :same as young Chiistians, to (h'aw fn'xh su})plies from Clirist, even as tlie Israelites had to gather the manna /WW^ evet'y mornii\g.

The following incident may help you to see this point more (clearly : Pastor Monod, of Paris, went into an inquiry-room in London, in which were two Christian workers directing two in- 8 Con 71. 'ie Is to (jiiirers ; encli Christian worker asked the iii(]uirej- wliom he was directing precisely tile same (juestion, hut with a different emphasis. The one said, "Cannot you tmsf, Jesus 1 " directing the mind's eye of the inquirej' t(» his own faith, "No, T cannot," was the answer. Tlie other asked, "Cannot yo\x trust Jesas?'' directing the mind's eye of the inquirei' to the Ohjecf of his faitli. " Of course," was tlie answer, "T can trust JESUS!" \\ CULTIVATE CORRECT THOUGHTS OF GOD. (4) Uememl)er that God is your Fatfikk, AND IS MORE GENTLE AND FOHBEARTNii THAN THE REST KAHTTILY FATHER.

" Kind thoughts of God lie at the root of growth, in grace." The devil always tries to drive people to extremes.

(5) Backsliding always commences with neglect of private prayer. Ten ov fifteen minutes given In the niornitig to pniyer and reading of the Scriptures will make a wonderful difference to a Christian's inward calm and strength all the day. And as the mid-day meal is the most nourisliing 5j I t\ Voung Christians, U Puult 'S to Itive, bS to enee ird." foie, (Jod ^vitli teen ayer vP a viivd 1 as liiii!'' to the body, so is a few minutes' prayer at mid-day a means of iiourishiiiecome sinful only wlieii no ertort is made to discipline and overcome them. There are several methods of checkino- and counteracting wandering thoughts in private prayei\ (i.) To lead the Bible on our knees, making it, verse by verse, the 7nedimn of prayer, (ii.) To take the Lord's Prayer in separate petitions, ard let each petition be the central thought which -liall ^iicigpst other petitions, (iii.) To have a written list of topics for prayei- and praise. The topics for prayer should include the names of those persons for whose salvation you feel most anxious. Each of the above methods has been tried successfuU}^ as an antidote to wandering thoughts in prayer. ; !

(7) " Wlien a Cliristian ceases to live in the spirit of prayer, he ceases to be useful." The vitality of the branch depends upon the co7itin}ioiis supply of sap/Wwi the trunk, oi", in other words, upon its continuous and living connection Knfh the trunk. " T am the vine ; ye are the branches ; " and it is by believing, fervent prayer that our c(ni- nection as branches is vitally maintained with Christ as the vine. "When I arose this morning," said a young Christian, "•' and was washing myself, I asked God to wash my soul ; when I was putting my clothes on, I asked that God would clothe me with the righteousness of Christ ; when getting breakfast, that He would feed my soul ; when I was writing at 14 Counsels to tlio (vHlcc, that He would vvrito iny name in the book of life ; and, w Ikmi my master sent me out with a message, 1 asked God to give me messages foi- sinners." This is an illustration of the simple meth- ods by which we may turn the common events of life into suggestions for prayer. vvorkin(t for god.

Wt)rking for (tod is as essential to spiritual health as exercise is to physical health. The great deceiver of souls tells young Christians not to work until they get more strength. There is no more sense in this than there was in the report once given of a Voting Christians. 15 young man wliose trial stM-nion his critic had been hearing: "He should not preach any more until he has had some more practice."

(8ee Romans x. 9, 10.) VVe were not asliamed, at one tinie, of avowing ourselves on the 18 Counsels to i side of the Kvil One. Sh.ill we be iiHhanied of letting people see and know that we are on the Lord's side ^ if we ai'e asiianied of Christ in this woild, He will be ashamed of us when He comes to judge mankind. (Lukeix. 2f).) A devoted C/lnistian young i.ian was dying, and just before he lost his speech he motioned to his father that lie had some- thing to say to him. The father put his ear dose to his dying son's lips, and the wuids were wliispered, "Stand u)) for Jesus!'' What a grand motto for all Christiajjs ! A Christian cannot be hapf y while under the snare of llr^ ft^ai of man. That snai-e must be broken. Confess Christ in the spirit of prayei', and He will stand by and help you.

(10) To be strong ami robust Christians we must live daily on Cii.«iTST and the liinu:. No one can live long on htcetinyH only, how- ever good thev mav be. Always read the Bibh in the spirit of prayer. A minister of s( -ue cciebrity has the word " En-hakkore " on the title-page of his Bi})le. The explanation of the word is as follows : When San»son had destroyed a thousand of the IMiiiistines with the jaw- bojie of an ass, we lead that he was in danger of dying of thirst, but < lod, in answer 20 Counsels to to his cry, " clave a hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout ; and when he liad drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived ; wherefore he called the name thereof ' En-hakkore ; ' " that is, tha ivel I of him. that cried or prayed; and simi- larly, the Bible becomes a well of living waters to him that prays. Read in a searchixg spirit, and not simply to oet throrgti y0ui{ daily chap- tek ; head till you come to a vivuse that TOUCHES A rouD IN vouR HEART; then write it out and refer to it during the day. Ke- member that, as when wo pray we speak to (rod, so, when we read the Bible, He speaks to us. Go to the Bible, therefore, realizing that it is the Word of God, and that, through it, (jr'ofl speaks lo y*>>< .

(11) Determine to be faithful to Christ and useful to man, but do not be anxious to feel liappy. That would be a selfish kind of religion. " I have never once pi-ayed to be liappy for twenty years," said a grand old Christian at a public meeting ; "but I have often prayed to be useful." " Feelings" are as unreliable and as changeable as the wind; a dull, heavy day, some business or family perplexity, or a thousand other external circumstances bej^ond our control, may vary our feelinyii ; but our faithfulness to our Master should lemain tln'oughout all. 22 Counsels to QUESTIONABLE THINGS. (12) The Holy Spirit is easily grieved, and He is jealous of sin m llie heart. He withdraws when sin enters. Grace soon disappeai's through the Itdkage caused by tampering with things questionable. There are various tests ])y which we may ascei-tain whether things (juestionable are right or wrong. One is, "Can T ask God's blessiny on this T' another is, "Can 1 ask Chi'ist's presettre with me in this/" and a third is, " VV^hat would Jesus do if He were in my place *? " if young Christians would at the outset resolve that for life they would wai^e tear to tlu' knife ivitk .slii, and that they woukl be thorough-going, whole-hearted Christians, they would not often have to ask these questions.

DUTY BEFORE PLEASURE. (13) Several times everyday there will be a conflict between the " natural man " and your sense of duty to God ; but if you will make the al)ove motto one of the rules of vour- life, you will be saved many a spiritual (•onriict, and, it may be, many a fall. Arrive at fixed ideas as to what ijoiir duty is; as, for instance, " How often should I attend the house of (Jod on the Lord's Day T' " What meetiitiis foi' fellowship and prayer should I attend every week?" "What care should I show foi' souls after the evening I!! ill 24 Counsels to sennuu ou llic Isold's Day?" etc Having once fixed in your mind wliat is your duty^ riPAier s'werve from it ! Do not be a weather- eock Christian. Remember that our Master estimates our services by what THEV COST US IN EFFORT and SELF-DENIAL. TOTAL ABSTINENCE. (14) The use of intoxicating drinks in tliis country is a source of so much sin and misery that it is the hounden duty of every Christian to determine his relation to tlieni. Is there a hirge family in EngUmd without some victim to ch-ink amongst its members 1 Do not more Churcli members make ship- wreck of their faith througli intoxicating drink than from any other cause ? May not the taste for drink seize you, or one of your NEAREST AND DEAREST FRIENDS, at anytime? iiiiiil Young CJiristians. 25 Having ir duty^ wetdher- T ou R Y WHAT DENIAL. inks in sin and >f every )0 them, without Bmbei's 1 ce ship- xicating VI ay not 3F YOUR ly time ? 1 And, is it not better for vou and tor tlicm to avoid all danger?

" But rather, ''Should not I, by being a total abstainer, set such an example as nuty prevent ofhem contractAiig a taste which may ruin them 1 " Is any exjimple a good one which cannot be Kcifely followed. IMPROVKMENT OF TIMK. (15) Lazy men tempt the devil to tempt th.em, and he always responds with alaci'ity to the invitation by finding " mischief still for idle hands to do." Tt is a good thing to be so busily engaged as to have no time to attend to temptations. It is mentally and physically invigorating to achieve any worthy result by dint of steady application, and it is equally true 26 Counsels to that indolence is invariably enervating and destructive to moral character. " An idler is a wateh that wauls both hands, As useful if it goes as if it stands," Try early and try hard to acc^uire a TASTE FOR REA1)IN(^.

(!(')) King David's lesolution on this sub- ject was, ">SViVM timex '<\{\\\\ will I praise Thee." We lead that he also resolved to prav three timeA a day. This is seven-fenthn of praise and fhrf^>'f^nfh.^ of prayer 1 The wi til w (( w ni tl u d i: N t Young- C/iristians. 27 writer will never forget a remark made hy tlie late Rev. Thomas Vasey to a young man whose first child had been recently born : u Brother T- , whenever you look at your wife, and whenever you UxA' at your child, you should say, 'Bless the Lord.'" Hhould not this really apply to all our mercies 1 A thankful Christian is generally a happy and unselfish one. Don't forget that it is our privilege and duty to help to " fill the world with smiles." "The surest safeguard to domestic con(^oi-d is the habit of wearing a smiling face! It will prove a panacea for every ill, an anti- dote to every sorrow. Who that has felt the luxury of thus conferring happiness, of chasing from the l)row a shadow, and from the heart a grief, would grudge the effort for so rich a boon 'i " 28 Counsels to STEWARDSHIP. (17) Be faithful as a .stmvard. Many Christians take the comfort of being sons who don't seem to like to feel the re- sponsibility of being stewards. A beggar once asked a Christian gentleman for alms. The gentleman gave him a shilling, with the remark, "There, take that ; it is more than ever the Lord gave me." " Sir," replied the l)eggar, " I thought you admitted that all came from Him." "Yes," replied the gentleman; "but all that I have got is only LENT." Some Christians seem to have erected a " scientific frontier" in their hearts, inside which all belongs to the Lord ; viz., their feelings, sentiment, etc.; but they manage to put their money outside the frontier. so o\ ci oi n H r( c< G }' e I Young Christians 20 so as to have the disposal of it in their own hands. All men have in their hearts i\\(\ prin- ciple of eovetovfinefis. It is as nuicli a part of original sin as pride is. Giving is the natural antidote to covetousness, and the UKAiiT TO (iivK can only be ac(|uired and retained by giving. The greatest curse of covetousness is the loss of thk heart to (JIVH.

TAKING OFFENCE. (18) Remember that it takes ttvo to make a (quarrel. Resolve never to be one of them. Remember that when two Christians (juai'rel, at least two Chi'istians are made miserable, 80 Counsels to and bring their Christianity into disrepute, the Holy Spirit is grieved, the Church and tlie world both suffer, and the devil alone is the gainer by the transaction. He, there- fore, who makes one in a quarrel is playing into the enemy's hands, and hindering the woik of God. Tt has been a nile for many years with the wi'iter never to take oftence with two classes of people : ( 1 ) With those v/ho don't intend to give offence ; for on the face of it, it is unjust to take offence where it is not intended; (2) With those who DO INTEND to give offence. We should pity and pray for such persons, and not (piarrel with theuK COMPANIONSHIPS. (19) One of the most fruitful causes of backslidinif in young Christians is tljfc habit o S' f Young Christians 81 of iiiyking euinpanioiis of unconverted per- sons. This is especially the case when such friendships ripen into nuirriag(\ The forin- hig of such companionships is opposed alike to Bible teaching, to Christian instinct, and to connnon sense. "Be ye not unecjually yoked togethei- with unl)elievers." (2 Cor. vi. \\.) You wouhl n(»t think of niairying into the family of your father's bitterest enemy 1 And all unconverted people are the enemies of Christ. Besides, the onk (JKKAT ohjkct IN LIFE of the Christian is (or should be) to please God. It is therefore the height of folly to make a bosom companion of one who cannot sympnthk^' with you in chis object, who is ceitain to k)ok somewhat coldly upon it, and who will nx.st likely, in thrcnd, x/^rr/- jit it. It is a very plausible device of Satan that by such alliances the cause of Cod may »32 Counsels to Young Christians. in the end he promoted, and that you w ill Ix^ likely to hrinj^ your unconverted friend to religious decision aktkk inai'riage.
