supreme method of redemption Is that
 of love. It is method that has been
 in operation since the dawn of life. It
 IS seen first in the instinct of mother
 hood. It IS the voice of the Eternal Love raised in one continuous heart rending appeal to benevolent choice It IS the same voice that rises clear and penetrating high above the noise and confusion of selfish scramble which We call human civiiza tion--the voice which speaks in the broken words of this text. It is the voice of Him who came as the supreme embodiment of the eternal method of love in the re- demption of choice, of Him who has beckoned the world from depravity and lust, to holiness and honor, from cruel ty and selfshness to mercy and benefi- cent service, from pride, vain glory and personal ambition to humility and re- nunciation.
 Let us stand, then, if we must, on the Patmos of our selfish isolation, prisoners of our pride, ambition and anxiety, with the incessant roar of sea around us but let us look away till we catch the beautific vision of the land in which there shall be no more curse, where they shall drink of the water of life, whose wills have been redeemed where the wolf shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatting together and a little child shall lead them; when they shall not hurt nor destroy in all Gods holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
 Our wills are ours, we know not why, Our wills are ours to make them Thine"
 It was an excellent sermon and was listened to with attentive interest
