One reason for the manhood of Christ
is the ground aft )rded for the affec-
tionate confidence of His people in
troubles and temptations. He is q
man, therefore He can feel with US.
Who has not admitted it q hundred
timesR Sweet is His human name,
Jesusl There are moments when it is
the sweetest of His names, and when
among His 'many crowns" the love
lest is His human crown of thorns. As
God He could, indeed, approach US,
but how could we approach Him7 This
is the very door to the inner sanctuary.
For we have not a High Priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling Of
our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without

PSALM xxxvii rs.
Who is the 81" that speaks with such
conRdence2 Nobody knows. 1t is
some n unseen by history, below the
the level Of fame. Perhaps it was a
DOOR seamstress in a garrett; perhaps it
was an invalid upon the couch of pain;
perhaps it was a breaker Of stone by
the roadside. Whoever it was, he has
become immortal. Doubtless when he
wrote he had no thought Of being heard
beyond the next street, it reads very
like a letter of coincidence to a dis
sressed neighbor. But the angels
S3ught it up, and therefore the press
caught it up. It became a song Of all
nights. No wonder. 1t has a note Of
quite special music. Many have ut
tered songs Of faith; but this is not a
song of faith; it is a song of retrospect;
it's the retrospect of an obscure man,
nobody, and that is its value. It
claims no authority but experience; it
sppeRls to no testimony but fact, not
even DDS testimony. 1t quotes neither
Noses o the prophets; it just gives
an autobiography without a date and
without a name.
Ny brothers, why have we so few
photographers of the common plain2
We have societies for collecting strange
testimonies. We gather the record of

Of fulfilled dreams, We solicit the

OF my own memory; I shall not re
fuse to say Il have always found God
good to me-" There are few Of us,
even the most forlorn, who would not
rather live than die. That itself is a
confession of memory-the confession
mat God Is good. Be this u bond of

Is stereotyped; it is a fact; it is a mon.

Christian Association Work Abroad.

The reports of the Foreign Young
Mems Christian Association tell of ex-
cellent results having followed a series
of conferences held at Caefoo, Picking,
Shanghai and Foo Chow, in China. A
very general revival in Bible study has
begun; seventy six Chinese have offered
to devote their lives to Christian work
among their own people, and a National
College Association has been formed.
The third Portuguese Association has
been formed at Lordello do Ouro, a
suburb of Oporto. Three centers have
been opened in Galicia. Western ALI
ance of Germany, numbering 400 cen
ters and 5 5000 members, celebrates
next year the fiftieth anniversary of it's
