OUR CONTRIBUTORS.
THE MISSION OF THE CHRIST.
BY REV. MARY ]. DE LONG.

When Plate had entered a second
time the Judgment hall, he demand
ed of Jesus cart thou king then2"
Jesus answered, "To this end was l
born; for this cause came | into the
world, that / might bear witness to
the truth"
1t is not necessary to go beyond
these words uttered by the Master,
under such trying circumstances, to
perceive the idea which he had con-
cerning his message and mission to
humanity. He did not come to make
anything true which was not true al
ready; he came only and simply to
bear witness to what is true. 1t is
evident however that this word-truth
as spoken by the Master, must be
taken in restricted sense. Some
things are true which he had no call
to bear witness to. Jesus did not
come to bear witness to the law of
gravitation, though that law was as
true in his day as in ours. He did
not come to bear witness to the ro-
tundity of the earth. knowledge of
that had to wait for the advent of
that hardy race of sailors who took
ship and compass and actually sailed
around it. The truth which Jesus
taught was not scientific, intellectual
nor purely theological, truth; it was
spiritual truth; truth which pertained
to the spiritual realm of things.
The revelation made through Je-
sus was concerning those fundamen-
tai principles which underlie the as
piring, worshipping, believing factors
in human nature. A revelation con-
cerning these sublime verities was
made necessary from the fact that
they are precisely those truths which
men could not, or would not, find
out for themselves. The facts of
geology and astronomy, for example,
are such that men could, and eventu-
ally would, find out for themselves.
Agassiz said that he thought God
had hidden his secrets from men,
"only to allure them graciously on to
the unfolding of them" However
that may be, we know that God has
given a special zest to the discovery
of any hitherto unknown truth. I'M
agine, if you can, the joyous uplift in
the mind OF Newton when he discov-
cred the law of gravitation. There is
a peculiar satisfaction in mental tri-
umph, a sense of reading Gods
thoughts in the things and laws
which he has made, which belong to

THE STING AND THE VICTORY.
BY H. HAYES ROBBINS.


Both of us went to church this mornin'. wife
and l.
Somethin' we don't do very often; tell you Why
You see we're sort o. awkward uneddicated
folks,
Jest the kind that furnishes these smart 'uns
half their jokes.
Wifes worried along with me mOre'n forty long
years now,
And l don't like to see folks laugh at her. some
how.
WHAT'S more, it's mighty tough a driven in to
town,
Ten miles this freszIn' weather. and all up hfl'n
down.
II we'd a known aforehand Jest what he was
goin' to say.
1 think it's more'n likely we'd both OF us stayed
away.
We like to l'arn some lesson to help a week
along,
somethin' to cheer US up when everything goes
wrong.
But he couldn't a chose subject to make us
feel much worse,
Twas all about the ways that God 'ud take to
curse
Them as he hadn't elected beforehand for to
save,
