DUT as many as received Him, to
- them gave He" Jesus does
not come empty-handed. The Divine
guest comes laden with gifts of eternal
richness and worth. To as many as
receive Him He gives. 1t is the pretty
crstom IN the oriental countries for the
guest to bring his gift, his treasure,
and bestow it upon the gracious host.
Constant reference is made to this Gus
tom in the Scriptures, a notable instance
being the visit of the queen of Sheba
to King solomon Audit is a beautiful
sagure which our text brings before us.

WITH a power born of desperation
w the pursued man gathers up all
the remaining strength he car COM
mand and makes IN mighty plunge
towards the haven of safety and the
friends who are there to receive him.
Will he make it? Pursuer and pursued
leap into the air together. The plunge
of the hindmost man is greater. The
first falls in helpless exhaustion, and
the other in his leap hovers just the
barest instant above him, and then,
nerving the arm and hand with all the
strength that is left, he brings the dag
ger down. Too late, you cry! At the
very portals of the city of refuge he
must perish! All, no., thank God! The
arms of the waiting Levites reach out
to save. The willing hands take hold
where the others strength has failed,
and while the %avenging blade is cut
ting the air in its fierce downward
plunge, the PROSTATE form is lifted
within the gates. He is safe! He Is
safe! And never a soul that fees for
refuge to Christ is overtaken by the
DOdtu. lie IdCG 10 QScpGIdI0.
All seems to be lost, but in that mo-
ment of helplessness, in that time of
imminent peril when sin is seeking to
inflict its deadly wound, at just that
instant the arms of Jesus reach out and
down and lift in gracious, loving, ten
der grasp to the place of safety at His
side. He receiveth sinful men, and none
who come to Him are ever cast out. II
the cause of the refugee was not just;
II he had killed in willful anger, then
he was delivered up into the hands OF
the avenger of blood. But here is
where the type is detective and fails
to set forth the perfect work of grace
which Jesus performs for the sinner.
The guiltless only were sheltered with
in the city of refuge. The guilty only
are sheltered within the refuge which
Christ affords. He came not to call
the righteous, but sinners. to repent
ance. He receiyeth not the worlds best,
but the worlds worst. He receiveth SIM
nerS and only sinners.

WYE have not time to tell of the old
Wv mans long, tedious, hard search,
of the great yearning in his heart that
4ept him steadily pressing on from point
to point, of the privationS through which
ahe passed, but at last he found him, and
with heart beating with hope and joy he
went with lettering, feeble steps up the
walk which led to the door of the man
sion where lived his son. With trembling
hand he knocked upon the door. But
there was no welcome there for him. In
his broken English, for during the
months of his w~anderings he had
learned enough to make himself under
stood, he told his story. The son was
summoned. But it was with anger and
wounded pride that he greeted his
aged parent. 1t would never do to
have it known that this poor, old, igno-
rant foreigner was his father. And so
the father was refused admittance. He
was bundled off to the poor house as a
homeless vagrant. The long, hard jour
ney was all in vain. How inexpressi-
bly, sad, md yet the spectacle of Jesus
coming from Heaven to earth, and
knocking at the hearts door and be-
fng refused recognition or admittance.
is infinitely sadder. 1t is the tragedy
of the ages.

And let the loving Saviour in.
Make Him thy welcome guest.
He'll give thee of His richest grace,
Hell make thy home His dwelling place.

A ND this is the picture of the Chrisi
"A in the passive mood. WafFina
patiently, longingly, lovingly, to be re-
ceived by man. The vision of the
Christ in the active mood reveals to US
the great, %throbbing heart of God;
shows us the per Istent, faithful,
mighty effort which He is putting forth
to rescue man from the depths OF sin
and death. The most glorious tribute
which was ever paid our Lord was thai
which the angry and jealous Scribes and
Pharisees gave when they contemptu-
ously charged that this man receiveth
Sinners" 1t was true, and it has made
glad the centuries since He trod the
earth and the words were spoken.
Christ receiveth sinful men. No casual
glance will suffice to reveal all the
charm and meaning Of the painting
of the artist. 1t takes the searching
eye and the meditating heart to under
stand it all. But as one sits hour after
hour before the masterpiece Of art how
it unfolds and grows upon ones vision
And so it is with this picture which
Scripture gives to US of the Christ re-
ceiving sinful men. The heart will
never begin to see or understand all the
depth of love and the wealth of Divine
grace which is here contained until it
gets over on the other side and sees
eye to eye and knows even as it is known,
but it may know and understand more
and more as it ponders on this blessed
truth: This Man receiveth sinners"
And this is the picture. Jesus by right
of His Divine Sonship, in fulillment OF
His commission brought with Him from
Heaven, and by reason of His triumph
over sin and death, has established a
sure and everlasting retreat to which
the needy soul Of man may flee for ref
uge.

of His relations to man and mans rela-
lions to Him. One brings before us the
picture of man dwelling apart from God.
He is occupied with his W affairs and
doings, with the world and the things CT
xhc world. The house of his W desires
shelters him, and his friends Ambition,
and Wealth, and Pleasure, and Business,
and Society, and hosts of other children
of the world find cordial welcome there.
Their knock is scarcely heard before the
door swings open to admit them, and
hospitality and good heer are graciously
extended to them. And in our picture we
see One making a long, long journey. He
deaves the Fathers house above, Helays
aside the glory and honor and majesty
and power which have been His through
out the ages from the beginning of time,
and steps down among men. He travels
the dreary road of suffering. He endures
all the conditions and trials and tempta-
lions of human life. The cross over
shadows His pathway. The crushing
weight of human sin falls upon His sim
less shoulders, and thus burGened He is
lifted up upon the cross that lies at the
end of the pathway of His human life.
He becomes the willing sacrifice for
s. sin. He goes down into the grave of
death. He drinks the bitter dregs of sin.
He pays the penalty of mans transgres-
sions. He triumphs over death and the
grave. He breaks the letters of the tomb.
He lays aside the grave cloths forever,
and issues forth the risen and living
Lord. the Saviour of men. He has
reached the abode of man. He knocks
for admittaDce.
"The Saviour. standing at the door.

wide to admit the friends of the world,
but the Friend and Saviour from
Heaven is kept standing without.
Notwithstanding the long journey He
has made, Notwithstanding all that He
has suffered and wrought for sinful
man, the Son of God is kept waiting
without. | remember some years ago
of reading the pathetic, sad story in
the newspapers of an aged father com
ing from his home in Europe seeking
the son who years before had come to
this country to seek his fortune. The
son lad prospered in the new land.
Ambition had come with wealth. He
Aad married an American girl, and as
the family grew up about them the
glamour of social distinction fascinat-
ed them, and they coveted a place in
the fashionable world. The humble
origin of the father was one of the
Buried things of the past. Every effort
was made to cover up and forget the
poor home and surroundings in the old
country. The old mother died, and then
came a yearning in the heart of the aged
father to make the long Journey to Amer

ST. Petersburg, Mar. 9.-The mis-
giving existing in high quarters here
regarding the ultimate aims and
purposes in the foreign policy of the
United States was verified today in
this remarkable statement given to
the Associated Press: Were it not
for a single unknown quantity the
European situation at present would
be as perfect as possible. For the
avoidance of one thing every chan
cellor of Europe has been straining
every nerve, namely. to prevent the
ENHANCEMENT of outside powers in
your state department. The situation
following the outbreak of hostilities
was exceedingly delicate and sur
charged with dangerous possibilities
to the arrangement of the peace of
the world Level headed statesmen
of Europe instantly co-operated to
avoid a general catastrophe, when
almost at it's inception Secretary
Hays circular note for the neutrall-
cation of China almost ditched them.
But happily he did not press it to
a point where differences were sure
to have arisen. and as it turned out
owing to the length to which the
powers gave adherence to it's prin-
ciple it really contributed to the
end desired The note might have
proved disastrous if it had not at the
moment found all Europe practically
in accord as to what should be done.
We are at sea as to what to expect
from Mr.. Hay and American diplo-
macy which in these latter days is
so aggressive that it is veritable
nightmare to Europe"

destroyer while trying to re-enter

Of the thirteen Russian war ships

is added that all are disabled except
five. Finally it is asserted that the

was half destroyed by japanese
shells and that only three batteries
are available.

that there has already been a decis-

ment, but to locate and attack the

understood that when the Japanese
feet arrived Sunday it found the
Russian feet absent. If this is true
it gives the Japanese fleet an ad-
vantage in the way of avoiding a
battle close in to the shore batteries
1t is doubted if the Japanese with
drew their whole squadron unless
the location of the enemy was dis
covered. There is a strong possibil
ity that the Japanese found the
