pertaining to its vital interests. The
wife is not satisfied with anything less
than certainty that n husband loves
her. The lover must be absolutely as
sured that his affections are recipro-
Gated by his sweetheart. The same
longing for certainty is felt concerning
the future life. If man dies, shall he
live again? Is a question not usually
asked by the patriarch Job, but every
thoughtful mind. Standing by the
grave of his only child, n sceptlcal
father exclaimed to me: Il would give
everything | have in this world to
know that my darling is happy After
moments silence, which / deemed
too aacred to break, the grief stricken
parent said: 4 would give everything
l possess to know that somewhere and
somehow my little daughter lives
The next day began a series of con-
versations which resulted in his ac-
ceptance of the sweet hope which is in
Christ Jesus; for it is to answer this
longing that God has given Christ as
u witness to the people. We are SO
constituted that we require leadership.
But the ideal leader must be one who
never grows weary, never betrays
those who follow him, never grows old,
and never dies. Consequently no hui
man leader can take the place whom
God has appointed to be a leader to the
people. Luther in his old age some
times questioned whether the good he
had done repaid him for his toll and
pains. General Scott fell asleep whilst
presiding over q council of war called
to prevent the capture of Washington
City. Benedict Arnold betrayed those
who had long trusted him. The only
direct and perfect leader humanity
has known is the Son of God. our text
presents the glorious Savior as COM
mander as well as leader. Our ideal
commander IL one who never gives q
wrong order, never makes q mistake
and always leads to victory. 1t is well
known that the charge OF the six hun
drcd in the Crmean war was due to
an erroneous order to the soldiers.
StoneWall jackson was slain by Con-
federate bullet. No one ever followed
Jesus to death or destruction. Such a
commander we are bound to follow and
obey. The subject for this evening
will be Gods Message to us by the
Son." All are welcome, the invitation
no difference"
