ChrIsf In Ua.

Christ is our example; but he who
suppOses that Christ's work consists
simply in furnishing us an example has
very inadequate idea of what man.
needs and Of what Christ is. It is true
that we have some power Of copying, by
observation and volition, the conduct of
those that are better than We are; but it
IS also true that the lives which are
mainly the result of limitations are defec.
tive and unlovely lives. "Thst peculiar
character" says DR.. Motley, (which we
admire in another, would become quite
q different one n ourselves could we
achieve the most successful Imitation.
The copy could never have the spirit of
tie original, becsuge it would wsat the
natural root upon which the original
grew. We ought to grow out of or own
roots; our own inherent propriety of
constitution is the Fest nucleus fog cur
own information" This, then, is what
we nsed-the healing, the quicke1ing
the replenishing of our spiritual life. 1t
is not a model to grow by; it is "more
life and fuller that we want" Tha. ia
what Christ came to bring I am come
that they naight have it more abund-
antly." By faith in Him We are made
partakers of His nature, and thus the
very elements of virtue in us are REIN
forced. The tulip bulb does not need 3.
tull~grown tulip to look st that it may
learn how, to blossom it needs to feel at
its own heart the warmthof tho sun and
the moisture Of the soil. Not Christ be-
fore you as an example, but "Christ in
