tate longer to believe that His great
mission from the Father was to pre- each

almost may we not say to preach the
Gospel by healing the sick, And II
anything were lacking in our minds
to establish this last proposition would
it not be abundtaptly compensated
in the sweet life OF Jesus in the world
and may we not learn from that life Of
works OF sympathy. of kindness, and
unfaltering ministery, just what His
thought WAS Of the redemption He
brought. and His own way Of giving
it to the world.
Have you ever thought for . mo-
ment of the tremendous import Of the
fact that Jesrs never preached but one
sermon in all His life, and never re-
peated that; far less than one. fiftieth
part of His active life WAS given to
the letter Of the Gospel, and all the
balance Of it to its spirit. to its prac-
tical application. to doing. not saying.
to healing the withered hands of .nen.
to breaking the jaws OF death, and
giving the sons aud daughters Of men
back to life and love and hope
And 10. in the example of this min.
istering messenger Of God. do we not
find the cheering consolation that to
your and mine. viz. that although we
may not have the tongue to tell the
sweet story that Jesus came to tell.
water in His name. We will preach
the same sweet Gospel that the loving
son of God preached, and preach it in
precisely the same way. Leavn in
deed. may we not. from the works of
Jesus, that you and l were included
in His declaration to one who ques-
toned whether he had earned the
redemption the Master came to bring,
and in the midnight of his doubt cried
out to the Saviour. when saw thee

And now one word about Mrs. Eddy,
the great woman who has with rare
devotion to humanity, and marvellous
spiritual perception restored to the
world an abiding sense Of the sweet
ness. love, and healing power incident
to unfalterinR reliance uopn God.
Mrs. Eddy does not seek adulatiop,
she protests against it, her effort Is
not for self. The sweetest passage in
her marvellous teaching impresses the
negation of self, glorifies the love Of
God and the love Of man. She does
not claim to have discovered the heal
ing power. but simply to have found
in Gods word the means whereby
every weary child of earth may sue
cessfully invoke that power. 1t is
her Key to the Scriptures that
makes her contribution to humanity
absolutely exhaust, ,ss and absolute
