lively speaking, was clearing the . ground, plowing, harrowing, planting, i weeding, etc. It was hard work without much risible result*. He preached , mighty , gospel messages in his own zealous way and taught Insistently. Sometime later Apollo- went to . Corinth and took charge of tllfc church. - He watered and nurtured what was al- , ready planted ami began to see some . Increase. Ill* wa* a different kind . of work, he wa* a different kind of . man.' A man of culture ami wisdum i u hose preaching is attractive. Is hound i ti> draw follower* after him. which | was true in hi* case. j But the Corinthians, in theit car- < nnlity — or superficial Christianity-- • . » formed 'division*, some preferring t Paul, under whom they came to believe. while some perfered Apollo*. | under whom they believed and group- , were formed. I This weakness and spirit has evei , lieen found -in 'church divisions in the , body of Christ over hi* minister*, j Some people, have reasons to always ( cherish the memory of a certain man. , but they should lie strong enough to | escape the snare of permitting their , personal likes to interfere with fol- , lowing their Master under the lendership of othets. Tlie fact that this hn.- | existed for 20 icnturies is no argu- , ment that it is by any means right. Paul stamps thi* thing a- carnality.- | It is human nature, ye*, but Christians are spiritual,' barn of God and possessing a spiritual nature, and these divisions have no place there. FHend* have said to me in tlieir en- . thusiam that they would not feel the same interest in the work after I im gone. Do they realize what they are . saying? Is the interest in me alone? If so, it Has been misplaced. But they say that personality ha* much to do-

• and cultivated, BUT. never forget that . it i.- God who .gives the increase. A personal illustration will be pat- ' dotted and the point readily seen. At > East Brandywinf Church ten years ago, my 'wbrk "of 18 months was > pioneer— .-Dandy evangelistic , aaris- • ith some 'results, There followed me ' - n man who wax my opposite in method. ' style, etc. He could not conduct an 1 I evangelistic meeting, his sermons f mostly to Cliristian*. The people i thought a great mistake had been I nuule — but soon learned that he could i train and Herelope young converts and strengthen faith in a remarkable I - wnv and it proved that he of all men - just the one for that church ut : that particular moment. This i- God's work. No nur man ■ i- greater than the cause. No one ' man has all the «rualities necessary for the full rounded out career of any 1 church, so that God may and will rc- • but when that piece of work is ' done, God moves him on and if given • chance will send the right man every 1 time to follow, and will often lie a r different type, with different gifts and ' methods, etc. When that man comes ' — then comparisons between hint and ' his predecessor are both unfair and carnal. Both men represent Christ - • and are doing God's work — turn in ■ heartily behind him. Remember at-all times who you ate. ; Ye are laborers together with God. 1 If you have been indifferent in the ' |«i»t, repent and turn again to God against whom you have sinned, and against Him alone, for you haven't 1 hurt the prearhei thereby. See to it | that the Spirit of Christ has fuller." 1 f.eer play and the warmth of his) ' presence will cause you to grow
