turns techoes) all sounds.
He who pursues the stag regards
not hares.
II the roots be left bare the grass
will grow again.
The gem cannot be polished with

without trials.
A wise man forgets old grudges.
Riches come better after poverty
than poverty after riches.
He who wishes to rise in the world
should veil his ambition with the
forms of humility.

Who is Christ?

Rev. R. J. Campbell, of the City
Temple, London, England, gives
come thoughts regarding the divinity
of Christ, which are well worth repeat
ing. Replying to some of the quib'
bles, he answers:
"The question was never asked
about anybody else in the history OF
the world, Is he man, or is he God!
Here is q soul that holds yours, a
life that covers yours. He came to
his own and his own received him
not. Jesus Christ is the Man OF
men, the Man whom the rest look up
to and something more than that the
Man whose life is the spring and the
source of all that is human. Before
Abraham wss,' he said OF himself,
Il ami put this into Q sentence:
Jesus Christ is just that side Of the
nature Of God in which the humanity
lies.
"But we can go further still. Je.
sus Christ becomes q pledge and
guarantee of infinite God for the SAL
walton Of men. Not only is hs God
and must be God, because his life is
behind and above yours and is the
source of all that is worthiest to
live in yours; but Jesus Christ brings
infinite God into finite human life.
Every noble thought you have, every
noble deed You do has come through
the life of Jesus Christ. Moreover,
great may be your iniquity, insract-
able may be your sin, Jesus Christ,
very God of God, has shown Himself
sufficient for your sin. Wereit only
for that, I would preach the sinless
Man, who rescues sinful men and in
the humanity of my Lord, the true
humanity by which he takes his place
by my side I read the infnity, the
eternity, the holiness Of Deity and
so I am saved by the cross Of Christ"
