A PARTY of settlers IA seeking to
Aescape the bands Of hostile Indians
which were lurking on every hand, but
not knowing the country, they were
completely at a loss as to which way
to turn. Darkness came on While this
dilemma confronted them, and with
the darkness came d~eliverance. There
suddenly rose from the grass in the1r
midst an unarmed Indian. He pro-
fessed friendship. He said he had crept
in unbeknown to the other Indians,
who were plotting their destruction
so as to show them how they might
escape. How could he prove that he
was a friend? Not by telling them OF
all the hostile Indians that lurked
without the camp, but by showing
them the way of adeliyerance. Some
were afraid to trust him, but Drawer
hearts said: at is our hope" They
followed the Indian through a trail
they never could have found for them
selves and escaped the threatened dam
ger. They knew then that the Indian
who had come to them that night was
a real friend. He had proved 1t by
pointing the way of deliverance. And
| Jesus in a fuller, higher sense proves
His friendship by pointing the sinner
to the way of escape from sin and its
consequences. And Jesus talk that
day in Matthew's house was of deliv-
erance from sin. All, how the thought
of that Friend grew upon that company
of men! Oh, there is nothing that SO
appeals to the sinsick heart as the low
ing, earnest words of the Everlasting
Friend, "the Friend that sticketh closer
than a brother" Oh, sinner. whoevei
you are, and however deep you are in
the mire of sin, Jesus is your Friend,
He longs to prove His friendship by
lifting you up and leading you ou. into
the light and joy and liberty of a new
life, a life of fellowship with Him
Will you not let him?

WHEN the woman who was a sin
w ner came and threw herself at
Jesus feet as He sat at meatinth the Phari-
sees house, and washed His feet with
her tears and wiped them with the
hairs of her head and poured fragrant
ointment upon them, He g~raciously
and tenderly received the devotion Of
the heart that longed for a better and
purer life, and reDuked the proud
Pharisee. who was shocked that Jesus
should allow this sinful woman to
touch Him. When Jesus passed
through Jericho on one occasion He
went out of His way to invite Himself
to dine with ,Zaccheus, the tax gather
er. the notorious bad man of the town.
Repeatedly Scripture declares that the
sinners and publicans flocked to Jesus,
and He welcomed them always. And
when the Pharisees murmured He told
them the beautiful and touching sto-
ries of the lost sheep, the lost coin
and the lost boy, and by them gave
Heavens standards of values and
showed how much 4 soul was worth in
the SUMMATION OF Hod, Anu even ~
death Jesus found joy and fellowship
with the sinner as the dying thief
turned to Him for comfort and He re-
piled: This day shalt thou be with
Me in paradise Jesus was the Friend
of sinners. He was willing to be
known as such. He welcomed them as
they came, He helped them as they
tarried, He sent them forth to purer
and better lives.

nNE of Jesus disciples, Matthew,
~ was taken from the despised class
of publicans. or tax gatherers. And
this served further to identify Jesus
with the ~despised lower classes. To
the punctilious and sanctimonious
Pharisees there was no greater con
domination which they could pro-
ounce against Jesus than TO say that
He associated with and ate in the COM
pary of publicans and sinners. The
scribes and Pharisees observed such
rigid rules in regard to outward con-
duct and associations, were so faith
full to avoid all manner of defilement,
that they stood aghast and filled with
horror at the conduct and associations
of Jesus. He. claiming to be a Teacher
sent from God: yea, more, claiming to
be the Son of God, the promised Mes
siah, eating with publicans and sin
ners, He, receiving their attentions,
He, graciously ministering unto them,
and fellowshiping with them and even
choosing from among their number
those who should be His disciples!
What a violation of all that they had
held sacred, No wonder as they saw
these things that they murmured. NO
wonder they cast slurs upon Him. No
wonder their unrepentant hearts were
hardened before the gracious work of
mercy of the Divine Lord. But He
was pleased t O be known as the Friend
of sinners, and to this day He Is
known as such. Through all the CEN
turtles which have unfolded since then
He has continued as the Friend of the
sinner. And. blessed be God! lit is
true. How He has gathered the needy
multitudes about Him, how He has
succored and blessed them. The
Friend of Sinners! k.
TIE was known as such because Of

AVE Won ever wondered what tina
! lodd assortment of humanity talked
about that day? Well, l have. should
like to have been a member OF that
company. l should like to have looked
into those faces. l believe there was
MANY a sob there that day, that there
was many a tear-stained face turned TO-
ward the Saviour as He talked to them
of sin and %deliverance from sin, and OF
the better life. Sin is an awful thing,
and some of the guests of Matthew
must have realized it as they came into
he presence of the sinless One ana
became conscious of the fact thai He
was there not to condemn them, but to
save them. Who would think OF call
ing one his friend who had nothing
hut condemnation and denunciation for
him because he had done wrong? VINO
would feel drawn towards the mar
who would pick all the flaws he could
and never in sympathy and love try to
draw from those sins and faults to a
better and purer life? And we would
not feel that Jesus was our Friend II
all He held before us was our sins and
all we heard was condemnation De-
Il we were sinners. No, Jesus does
not declare His friendship in that way
He shows that He is the sinners Friend
by pointing the way of d~eliverance.

the friend of the workingman is ready
to greedily grasp the hand Of another
foolish victim. And there is a good
deal of that kind of friendship in the
world. Friendship that is based upon
s%elfshness. But Jesus is not such q
friend. Jesus died that He might prove
His friendship. He tells us: Greater
love hath 70 man than this. that he
lay down his life for his friend" Ben
inck, the noble Batayian, proved his
friendship for William, Prince of Or
ange, when the latter passed through
the scourge Of smallpox. Notwithstand-
ing the loathsome disease, notwith-
standing it meant sickness from the
same disease and perhaps death, he re-
manned at Williams bedside and nursed
him through the long weeks of illness.
He proved his friendship. And how in
finitely greater is 1t true that Jesus has
proved his friendship for sinners! His
life was devoted to them and then will
ugly laid down that the sinner might
escape the just penalty of his evil deeds.

we know that He is good, though His
face be hidden in the cloud. A wife who
recently had lost her husband by apo
plexy said: If I could only have a lit
tie talk with him about our affairs and
enjoy the bliss of a conscious farewell
it seems to me the absence would not be
SO hard to endure, and I could be recon-
ciled." But when, to loving hearts,
will the parting time be easy? Surely
the second farewell would be harder
than the first, and the consciousness
that the separation would soon take
place would take away all joy OF the
meeting. In that case the loved one
whom she SO longed to see would have
to pass through deaths door a second
time.
His ways are wise, though in u dim
vision we may not be able to see, and
through lack of knowledge, may not
comprehend. Surely we can trust Him
and wait. The veil will soon be drawn
aside when, with clearer vision, in the
unwilling and unfolding of the things
that are hidden, we shall see a beauty
in His purpose that we cannot discover
here. 1t may be hard to toll OH alone
for a little season, but in that toll there
is a purpose and out of it will come a
| spirit cleansed for the kingdom and the
fellowship to come. 1t is Gods way,
and His way, though it be in the sea or
through the deep water, is wise, always
| and forever wise.
