A Jewish View of Christ.

The Jew believes that God is a pure spirit
and considers 1t idolatrous to even think of
him as having form or habitation. And yet
Jesus Christ came into the world, the son
Of man, necessarily not pure spirit, but
composite being with corporal body-and
you believe that Christ is God. l am a
lover of Chris, but not as you understand
it, love him because i believe he was the
purest man that ever lived in the world.
He lived almost godly life. l take pleas
ure in reading his words in the New Tesla
ment, although his teachings are not new
to us, scattered as they are through the
Talmud. You will be interested and per
haps surprised at two statements / am
about to make. The first is that there is
no enlightened, modern Jew but what
holds Christ in highest reverence. The
second is that we firmly and conscientious
ly believe that Jesus Christ was not the
founder of Christianity
Christ says of himself, Think not that
come to destroy the law but to fulfill"
Christ taught one God and father Of all.
Who, then, was the founder of Christiani-
tyr Paul, the man who never saw Christ;
the man who quarreled with Peter. He 1t
was who first taught the triune God. Isay
1t again that the Christian religion Is not
the religion which Christ taught, but which
Paul taught. In Jesus we joyfully reoog-
nize the pious teacher and reformer. In
Paul we find teacher antagonistio to the
law and the prophets, teaching a some
thing that breathes more of the Greek than
the truly Jewish spirit OF Christ'-Rdoorh'
Elkin.

Half Christians.

Off Cape Horn we witnessed singu-
lar sight. For some miles there was a
narrow strip of water, where the great
waves flew in broken spray and dashed
high over the ship. On either side the
sea was comparatively calm, whilst this
boiled with fury, rolling and surging.
Yet there was no rock about which the
sea surged, nor was there any such
fierce wind as to account for it. Over
head the air was thick with sea-fOwl.
Thousands of birds dived into this
troubled water. The smaller fish were,
l suppose, flung up by the toss and
thus fell prey to the birds. l asked
naturally what was the reason of this
strange sight, and found it was the
point at which the tide met the strong
current of the sea, and here they ragged
together. Within, the tide only ran,
aud it was calm. On this troubled bit
they met and neither prevailed. 1t is
the picture of those who are at once too
religious to belong to the world-too
worldly to belong to religion; tom by
both and satisfied by neither.-Mark
Guy PeGrSe.

Hold Fast.

Hold fast, and trust in God. We
cannot change Gods will by any
prayers of ours. God forbid that we
should, even if we could, for his will is
a good will to us, and his name is love.
What, then, shall we be afraid Of? 1t
looks at first sight strange sort of
token of Gods love to bring the crea-
lures whom he has made into condi-
tions of sorrow and misery. And it is
a deep question whether our troubles
do come to us from God. But this is
certain, God turns them into good for
us by making them part of our train
ing for better and higher life. At
least, of this we may have no doubt,
that God is love; that our prayers are
not needed to change his will, because
his will is already that we should be
saved. All we have to do in our prayers
is to ask advice, and strength, and cour-
age from the great Captain of our sal
walton, that we may fight his battle and
ours Alright, and to the end.-Church-
man.

IL scatters sweetness when its depths are stirred
It forms a couch to which the spirit fees,
Oerpowered in vain pursuit of vanished hope,
Unable in tn unequal strife to cope,
And tired of pleasure shorn Of power to please.
Like sound of distant music drawing near,

The essence of sublimity all rife
With harmony celestial rising clear.
Times discords, born of weary days and years,
1t gathers in the symphony OF heaven
And there, as 'twere angel garment given,
Each troubled moment changed to bliss appears,
A vision, fresh and beautiful, It brings,
Whose early glow neer fadeth in night,
But, everlasting, holds its first delight
AS to the heavens the sunshine ever clings.
1t paints unseen on the susceptive mind
The golden briancy OF sunset skies,
And twinking lights that thro' night shadows rise
Bright tints, and delicate, and dark combined.
1t utters clearly to the listening ear
love whose strength no power ever break,
depth of tenderness foe can shake,
An offered confidence devoid of fear
Its massive key unlocks Infnity,
That vast domain with utmost bound unknown,
Whose Ruling Power, our Mighty God we own,
To whom is offered praise increasingly.

Its ungathered fruit remaineth always fair;
Eternal youth, eternal truth is given.

Into Paths Of Light.

Hand in hand with angels
Through the world we go;
Brighter eyes are ON us
Than we blind ones know.
Tenderer voices cheer us
Than we deaf will own;
Never, walking heavenward,
Can we walk alone.
Hand in hand with angels;
Some are out of sight,
Leading us, unknowing,
Into paths of light.
Some soft hands are carried
From our mortal grasp,
Soul in soul to hold us
With firmer grasp.
Hand in hand with angels
Walking every day;
How the chain may brighten,
None of us can say.
Yet 1t doubtless reaches
From earth's lowest one
To the Hottest seraph,
Standing near the throne.-Lucy Ldrc
