r HIS is faithful saying, then,
| land worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners" Mr.. Sturgeon, in
commenting on this verse, said: This
coming of Christ to save sinners, as
sinners, Paul regards as a truth so well
known in the Christian church that
it had come to be a saying, familiar
in their mouths as household words
1t had become a sort of prOVerb with
Christians that Christ Jesus came to
save sinners, and Paul says that it
might justly be received as proverb
among all nations, for it was worthy
of universal acceptance from the
weight of its meaning, the Importance
of it's subject, and the Divine author
ity with which it was sealed. More
over, that Jesus Christ came into the
world to save sinners is so true that
it is not merely a saying, but a faith
full saying, worthy of all confidence,
being as sure as the truth of God Him.
self. Pass it around, We Christians; re-
peat it among yourselves without the
slightest hesitancy or question; let it
be a proVerb among you, fact I'M
doubted, a truth unQuestiOnable. For
the salvation of sinners Jesus came
into the world. He contemplated the
saving of no other sort of persons but
those who are sinful"

livered to them His last commission:
GO We into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature" they
persisted in asking: Lord, wilt
thou at this time restore again the
cause they did not understand Jesus
supreme mission to the world, and
their share in bringing to pass the full
realization of that mission?
wv HY is it that to-day the church of
w Jesus Christ, and the individual
Christians in those churches, are max
ing such pitiable progress in the
evangelization of the world? Is it not
because they do not know or have for
gotten what the supreme mission Of
Jesus to the world is? Nowadays
Christian activities are so complex and
varied that the primary and funda-
mental reasons of Jesus coming to the
world and the Christians relation and
responsibility thereto are lost sight Of.
Jesus did not come to establish
churches, and through them to better
the conditions in the world. Jesus
Christ came into the world to save
sinners. And those saved sinners are
to become the channels through
which Jesus may reach the uttermost
parts of the earth and save other sim
ners. That the saved sinners-the
Christians-should be drawn together
by common faith and hope is nat
ural-for the fellowship Of the saints
is blessed and helpful and necessary
and 1t is according to the plan of God,
for the church of Jesus Christ of
which He is the head is composed Of
the true believers everywhere, no mat
ter of what nation, race, color or posi-
ton in life. But the underlying and
foundation principle and right of Chris
ians as organized bodies to exist is
the commission of Jesus to go tell
others that Jesus can save. That the
church of Jesus Christ should be char
liable, and philanthropic, and educa-
tional, and helpful in every direction is
most certainly true, but first of all it
must be evangelical. Its first work
must be for the salvation of sinners.
and its first message, and its constant,
reiterated message, must be that
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners"

7 o DO so simplifies all the complex
tiles of the secular and religious
life. 1t is so easy for the mariner to
miss his course if he takes his eyes
off the stars and the compass: 1t is
so easy for the Christian to miss his
high calling in Christ Jesus by taking
his eyes from the Christ Who has
come into the world to save sinners,
Commendable Christian activities are
allowed to obscure the main issuey
and soul saving is relegated to the re-
vival period or the more convenient
season. But if the supreme mission of
Jesus is kept ever in mind, and the
supreme calling OF the Christian is
realized, all Christian activities natu-
rally and beautifully fall into their
rightful place, and the saving power of
Jesus is gloriously manifest, To
recognize the supreme mission of
Jesus encourages: The only one who
has right to be hopeful is the Chris
tan. The social, industrial, political
Teformer is met on every hand with
difficulties and diScOura gements. When
success is won in one direction fresh
difficulties arise in another. The dis
tressing conditions which prevail in
the large cities and in sections of the
country and the world are aileviated,
but not eliminated or cured. The more
that is done, the more there appears to
be done. The one who serves human-
ity with human means and in human
strength has burdens to carry which
sometimes crush.

I EFT us get this great fact fairly and
l. squarely before our hearts and
minds. Let Jesus as Saviour of the world
fill your whole vision, and then you
will be able to appreciate and under
stand Him in His varied relations to
the world. it was not until the disciples
came to have a clear understanding of
Jesus supreme mission to the world
that they could understand Him, or
realize their part in that great mis-
sion. Why was 1t that when Jesus
talked to them of His coming death on
the cross they rebuked Him and de-
clared that it should not be? Why
was it that Peter was so earnest and
vehement in His opposition to Jesus
plain statement that He must be
killed and raised the third day that
Jesus had to turn upon him with the
terrible rebuke: Get thee behind me
Satan; thou art an offense unto Me;
for thou savoreSt not the things that
be of God, but those that be of men?"
Why was it that upon the mountain
top OF TRANSPORTATION amidst the glo-
ries revealed there the three disciples
wanted to build tabernacles for Jesus.
Moses and Elias that they might find
a permanent dwelling place there?
Why was it that there were jealousies
and disputings among the disciples as
to who should have the chief place in
the kingdom which Jesus came to es-
tablish? Why was it that the disciples
went with their linens and spices to
the tomb to embalm their dead Lord?
Why was it that even to the very last
day of Jesus presence with them after
His resurrection, when they we're

T WAS only a few years ago that
| worker in the slums of New York
went insane because of the needs of
the unfortunates and her own feeble
ness to correct the existing evils. But
it is not so with the Christian who
keeps in mind the supreme mission of
Jesus into the world. He knows he
has not the crushing burdens of HUI
man ills TO carry. He sees the need
and distress. It makes his heart bleed,
but it does not discourage, for he
knows the saddest condition of all is
the soul in darkness. His supreme
duty is not to make this life more
bearable, but to bring the dead soul to
a saving knowledge in Jesus Christ.
He must be charitable, he must be
ing angel at all times, but all must be
handmaidens to serve the supreme end
that of saving the soul. And with all
Heaven rejoicing over one sinner who
has repented, and with the song of
joy of the new-found hope swelling
in the heart Of the saved soul, how can
there be Encouragement? The soul
saving Christians are the happiest and
most hopeful. No pessimists are within
their ranks All are bright with the
optimism of Heaven. They lift UP the
Christ and He draws all men unto
Him, from every grade and walk of
life.

greatest need of the world is not more
charity, greater philanthropy, higher
civilization, broader education, but it
is Life! Jesus supreme mission was
to give life to dead souls, to save sim
nersl
A ND IL Jesus had but one supreme
n mission, that of saving sinners,
and if the supreme message Of the
ages is: Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved" how
had it ought to affect the Christian
The Christian has a right to have but
one passion, and that is passion for
souls. His message must be the one
which Jesus has sent him 20 deliver.
We do not hear Paul, the greatest
soul=winnef OF all times, preaching
anything but Christ Jesus and Him
cfucifed. He might have preached
other and helpful things, but he de-
clares: Il determined not to know
anything among you save Jesus Christ
and Him crucified." He might have
gloried in other things, but his prayer
was: God forbid that l should glory,
save in the cross of Our Lord Jesus
Christ" And the Christian has no
right or excuse for preaching or teach
ing anything else than that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sim
ners." This fact must be the central
and supreme motive of the life. Let
all else be subordinate to this one

THE drowning man does not need
l some one to teach him to swim;
his desperate condition requires some
one to save him. And the dying sin
ner does not need someone to show
him how to live in this life, but Sa-
viOur to cleanse him from ali sin and
make him fit for Heaven. After he is
saved he is ready to learn how to live.
This old world since its foundation
and the placing of man upon it had
been busy with reformation, and when
Jesus came it needed not a reformer,
but a Saviour; not one who would i'm
prove conditions here and there, but
one who could cure the plague spots
and cleanse from all sin. Jesus went
about doing good; wherever He went
His hand was outstretched to help. He
was a benefactor and philanthropist,
but that was not the supreme need of
those about Him, and that was not His
supreme mission. There were ten
lepers cleansed one day when they
met Jesus. AS they went rejoicing
and clean back to their homes and
friends they knew Jesus as a great
benefactor, but only one of them re-
turned to find Jesus the Saviour, and
to learn that a greater work was the
cleansing from the leprosy of sin.
Jesus did not come into the world to
cure the diseased and crippled of the
little land of Palestine, but He came
with a worldwide mission of saliva
ton for the sinner. The miracles of
healing, the kindly ministries, the
teaching and preaching were incl
dental to the greater work of saliva
ton, The miracles proved His Divine
origin; the good deeds which He
wrought revealed the depth of love
and sympathy which He felt for suf-
fering mankind; His preaching and
teaching opened up Gods truth and
made plain Gods wonderful plan of
salvation; but it was only when He
went upon the cross and became a
sacrifice for sin; it was only when He
who knew no sin became sin for us
that we might become the Righteous
ness of God in Him." it was only
when He died that He might deliver
the human race from death, that He
realized His supreme mission to the
world. This is a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save
Sinners"
