MAKE ROOM FOR JESUS.
Standard.


No room for jesus Is this what you
are saying? Is any worldly object crowd
ing the King of Glory from your heart?
is it a mistake. a falsehood of Satan,
that true pleasure. honest business or
noble achievement in life are antagonistic
TO Christ? These things need not so oc-
cupy the mind as to crowd the Savior out
IT is self and sin, not business. that shuts
the door against him. His presence in the
heart, so far fro Numbering in the work
of life, confers new strength and inspira-
ton for doing it we'll and nobly. The
purpose of doing everything TO his glory
lights up our dolly toll as the clouds at
evening are shot through with the radi-
ance of the setting sun.
How many are uniting at the present
holiday season in celebrating the birth
of this Savior, while yet they refuse ad-
mission to his truth and grace! They re-
joice over his coming into the world, yet
they are shutting him out of their hearts.
Are we guilty of this inconsistency?
Surely we should first of all receive him
as our Lord and Savior then we may
sincerely join ple festival of his birth,
and there shall indeed be to us "a merry
Christmas and happy New Year"

HIGHER CRITICISM" IS INFIDEL
ITY.
western Recorder.

Western Recorder.
II is turning out as we and others have
often said: Curren higher criticism is
infdelity. We mean by current higher
criticism" the kind that has had a run
recently as a sort of fad-the kind held to
by Robertson. Smith, Briggs, Driver
Cheyne. etc. The great leader of this
school. Kuenen. openly avowed that no
one could believe his theory and hold to
the inspiration and authority of the Bible
He distinctly stated that he saw in the
religion of Israel only one Of the many
religions of TIE world. no more, no less.
Rut his disciples have been telling us
that their views is no way impaired the
orthodox inspiration and authority of the
Scriptures.
Now. however. these critics are giving
up the case. In the Christliche Welt OF
Leipsic they have been discussing the sub
iect. Several have declared that the IN
spiration and authority of the Old Tes-
lament must be set aside. Others favor
holding TO the prophetical books. And so
II qoes. The logic of events is proving
what Kuenen was clear-sighted enough
70 soc and honest enough 10 confess, that
this current higher criticism is simply
inidelitv. That these critics talk elo-
ouently in praise Of the Bible does not
olter the case in the slightest degree.
Renan and John Stuart Mill and Huxley
did that. Infidels are none the less inn
dels because they praise the Bible. An
infidel is simply a man who denies the
tures. And a man is an infidel in the pre-
else proportion in which he does this. To
use fine phrases about the Bible as one
nses fine phrases about Shakespeare is
not in the least inconsistent with the

Personal SERVICE WANTED.

New York Observer.
1t is human nature to desire to serve
by proxy. The easiest way always is to
send the other man. Ofttimes the other
man will not CO. and so the work remains
undone. Yet all the while there exists an
amiable intention of service. though the
impulse thereto is not of sufficient inten-
sity to lead TO any personal sacrifice to the
end of accomplishing the result desired.
But Christ has never been satisfied with
proxy service, and never can be. He
wants the man as we'll as the method.
the personality as well as the powers of
benevolence, and calls for both the SUBJ
stitute and the original. He aims to Sc
cure both sender and sent. There are no
exemptions when it comes to spiritual
concentrations.
It is this princijle of personal and not
proxy service upon which the Salvation
Army proceeds. and by the application of
which TO the slum problem so many of its
signal successes have been achieved. The
idea is by no means, however in the mon
opoly of the Salvatipon Army, since it is
inherent in the conception of aggressive
Christianity and has been illustrated again
and again in tn ehistory of Protestant
and Roman Catholic missions, and eXem-
plihed in a multitude of ecclesiastical en-
terprises and services both at home and
abroad.
When Christ says Follow Me!' he does
not mean. Look up a substituted" The
presence Of the call is intensely indi-
vidual: the point of the whole matter is a
personal service. The Lord may ask for
yours. but he also calls for you.

CHRIST IN THE WORLD TO-DAY.

The outlook.
The signs are not few that, In spite Of
wars and tumults and the bitterness of
strife between men. the world does move
toward the reign of peace and good will;
and the signs are many. 10 those who
choose to see them, that the Christ who
was in Bethlehem. in the lowliest of sur
roundlngs and the most unpretentious
conditions. is in the world to-day clad
in humility and clothed in the garb of OBJ
security. Any one who knows little sec
ton of life in any social condition knows
those whose whole career is one long.
unselhsh service; any one who knows life
in any section of the tenement house dis
tricts in a great city knows a multitude
of beautiful Illustrations Of self-surrender
and self-denial; patient women, unframed
and unconscious of their own usefulness,
who are quietly and cheerfully, day by
dav. living the Christ life: brave men,
under all kinds of disabilities, who are
overwhelmingly doing their work, bear
ing their burdens and sharing whatever
strength and joy come to them with those
who are in need of these things. The
world was never so full of humble, I'M
ostentatious, Christian service as to-day.
Beneath the uproar of contending prin-
ciples and the clash of opposing forces,
which seem sometimes to fill the whole
world with the tumult of their antag-
onisms. there is another world. full Of
pain and sorrow and heavy with care,
but full also Of the sweetness of sacri1ce
the 10y of surrender, and the peace OF
unseifshness. In this silent world live
and move men and women of all social
grades and conditions, with little in COM
mon save a beautiful spirit of self-surren-
der. and that modesty of nature which
shrinks from praise because praise seems
undeservedHe who looks for the Christ in
this world will find Him in numberless
homes and in countless lives.
