Anastasia was beginning to feel un-
comfortable, She had never imagined
anything so ridiculous as this in con-
nection with an earl; and when her
father proposed that they should take
a stroll in the grounds until dinner time
she almost wished, in spite of the gla-
mour of the title, that the earl had not
come. Surely, there must be finer spec
linens OF earlhood to get than that.

The glory OF Jesus inaugural sermon Is
that 1t addresses itself to the universal
human Heart. It has development Of
its own parallel to that of the race. It
unfolds ltGele in practical helpfulnesS
for every emergency Its principles are
so fundamental as to be always practlc-
able. That is the secret OF us peren-
Mai power. It was spoken nearly two
thousand years ago to the gynagogued
congregation. That CONGREGATION dis

ton q new and ever-increasing throng
has come together. As the sounding
board Of the open heaven, the old SER

cd is no dream OF ideal eloquence II
lives in every dialect 1t Is the most
potent composition in written speech.
Millions know It by heart. Millions live
by 1t. The likeness OF some OF Jesus
sayings TO the aphorisms Of the rabbls
may be admitted. But when such rab-
binicaI maxlms are put back into their
context, they are usually found to be on
a lower plans, and often moving in q
direction opposite 10 the teachings OF
Jesus. He used modes Of speech cur

Of Divlner wisdom. Jesus stands the
original and unceasing teacher Of the

from His lips, should be perturbed or

Our great familiarity with the Beatl-
tudes is In sense disadvantage. We
have them too much by rote. They are
words with pleasing sound. We need
10 find the spirit under the letter. Jesus
purpose in this sermon was TO unfold the
principles Of the kingdom OF heaven.
Each Beatitude, therefore. has specinc
meaning pertaining 10 that kingdom. II
IA not the poor in general. or those who
mourn on account OF bereavement. or
those Hho, in common sense, are num-
bic; not such that are fellcitated. only
those in particular are congratulated
who are conscious of the emptiness ana
poverty OF their souls. In such there
is room for the kingdom. Those VINO
on account Of this are sorrowtul ana
penitent are in the way of Divine COM
fort. Still another subjective phase Is
depIcted in the word meek" The con-
trast is TO the self-satistied pharisaical
spirit. which makes the Savior's work
a superorogation. Again, a holy APP
pettte is Indispensable. Emptiness,
penitence, humility, desire = these are
the conditions OF the entrance of the
Kingdom, which comforts, enriches and
ais. Again, the suItor for Divine mercy
Tnust himself be disposed to show the
same quality towards his fellows. Heart
purIty is the sine qua non Of seeing God
Seeing. which is the Hebrew equivalent
OF possessing. Jesus passes now from
partly or wholly subjective phase TO an
Objective activity. The children OF God
initiate their. Elder Brother whose
greatest achievement was reconcllin-
lion. They have holy ambition to
bring their fellows into peaceable rela--
tlons with their Heavenly Father and
10 make them all one in Christ. The
anal fellcitatlon is Of those who endure
ngrsecutlon and falsely-grounded re-
pr0aeh for the Masters own sake. Their
reward in heaven Is assured. THIS is
The mnrtyr's beatitication. Thus. as
Prcssense says, THE Beatltudes begin
with weeping. and are closed with
blood"
