The Debt u Love.

DR.. Newell Dwight Hills says regard
ing Gods love for His children and the
debt we owe to the influence OF that
love: "No words can describe Christ's
enthusiasm for Gods children, for
whom He, had fitted up world SO
beautiful as this. Standing upon the
corner of the street. He watched the
multitude go surging by, clothed in
rags. races wan and gaunt, scared with
nassion and sin, broken-hearted and
disappointed; and watching. His heart
was moved with compassion and He
stretched out hands Of loving help.
STOPPING, He took the little child Ill His
arms. and in that moment His love hung
above the babe as once the star hung
above His own manger. With eyes filled
with all-comprehending. and all-com-
forting love. He sought for the prodigal
who had made his life waste and a
desolation as others seek for diamond
lost in the rubbish With infinite hope
and winsome love He gazed upon the
publican and the prodigal, as some
miner stands in the gorge that is rich
with treasures of gold that lie just be-
meath the surface. And the common
people owe their rise in happiness chief.
" to is attitude, teachings and infiu-
ence."

At t5to-day's session the Waggaman case
was the principal matter considered but
1t was not decided to give a statement to
the public at this time. The statement
Issued giving an Interview with the Mar

TO having any member quoted in regard
to the case.
