chapter OF St. Marx.
80 then sitter the Lord had spoken
unto them, he was received up into
/ heaven, and sat on the right hand OF
/ God"
| We have All OF US tendencies to adopt
/ partial view OF the life OF Christ rs the
! whole, small fragment of the scrip-
| tares as the entire work, a few texts, rs
the Christian religion. In this way we
obtain but one sided idea Of Christ, and
of his life ard works.
For this reason our church shows
great wisdom in its services. 1t will not
leave out any text, but spreads the
whole gospel over the year, and thus
famlharIzes the Bible history TO the con-
grogatlon. Our festivals are full of the
most important articles of faith.
They are like q vast
moving panorama displaying the mani
fold forms and conditions of faith. They
will not let one text overshadow the
others. If we should leave out Ascension
day it would mar any just appreciation
of the Grand work Of Christ, who is now
IN power IN heaven and on earth, as is eX-
pressed in the text. The dignity and
power of ChUsts office is awful TO con-
template His place in heaven is "upon
the right hand Of the Lcrd." He is not
there Tor cur glory but for HIS own, but
there is the closest relation between him
and those who believe IN the doctrines Of
the Christian faith and the spirit OF love
and power is swayed IN Our behalf. For
some reason, great many people do not
seem 20 understand land do not try TOY
Whist he is doing Tor us now-now
at this present time. Christ has risen 10
the heavens and sits at Gods right hand.
This ascension of Christ had two ends in
view for bis people and its double aspect
is of the brightest and hottest kind. One
of the objects was 10 secure peace 10 earth
and mankind and the other wEs 10 renew
our interest in heavenly things. The
high pri SIS of oldcn tim,' made their
sacriic, upon the affairs IN the great
temples otthe earth and they caused the
blood OF lamb TO flow upon il. " hat

above, in the grca. temple that WAS not
made with hands. He made his great
and glorious sacrifice for humanity and

under the old desperation, and mani
tested itself in the holy men of that

When Won witness the subduing of men 5
carnsl minds, and OF their low desires,
then It is that these gifts become manifest.
Jesus is the strong attraction in the sky
for Us. 1t islot necessary, perhaps, for
me 70 say this, for if our friend and
