around the corner, or a glimpse of his happy face
he and Alice walked ahead or fingered behind,
enough to reconcile Mrs. Deland to a situation
that produced such results. And when, as
happened not infrequently, Joseph came and
stood beside his mother for moment, giving
her hand a loving, confidential squeeze the cup
of the mothers contcntment ran full to the
Overlooking.
Was there ever such autumn before? Joseph
thought not. Could such another ever come again?
Joseph felt that all his seasons would be like
this if only Alice shared them
What dear, delightful drives they took What
long and interesting rambles Sometimes they
went through Fairmount's prmly cared-for grounds;
more often they chose the winding drives of the
Wissahiclon. At St Peters they left the amiable
chaperon reverentialy seated in Washingtons old
square pew while she INDUCED in a deep patriotic
reverie, and Joseph led Alice out into the sunny
graveyard, strangely quiet amid the citv's
hubbub, and presented her to those men and women

My mother says" he told her that when they
had to lay grandmother here, her one comfort was
that she was in such good company and among
people she had always known. Grandmother was
born in Philadelphia, you know, and she used to
say that her calling-1ist was so long already it
made her tired to think of meeting any new
people, and if she was buried in St Peters she
wouldn't see a single strange face when she got
up"
Alice smiled at this, as Joseph thought she would

friendship between their fam

early asked for and easily
obtained the sweet privilege
of using the less formal
title.
To Joseph fell the delightful
privilege of accompanying his
mothers guests in their eX-
cursions to the different places
of interest in and around the
city of his birth, and since
four is a much more con-
vcnient number to divide
than three, Mrs. Deland was
sometimes touched and fiat
tered by her sons urgent
entreatics that she should
allow no other duties to in
terfere with that of giving
them the pleasure of her COM
panv on these occasions.
His subsequent conduct,

THERE was no doubt that
Joseph the impregnable,
4 Joseph the loftily in
different, had become Joseph the
subdued, Joseph the devoted.
The astounding fact was patent
to his whole family, from his
mother, who hitherto had been
the only woman whom Joseph
considered worthy of the least
attention, to the tiny sister,
whose excessive and eXuberant
affection had been lavished upon
a tolerant rather than an
appreciative brother.
Not the least amusing feature
of the affair was the prompt
ness, as we'll as the completeness,
of Joseph S surrender. One look
from a pair of soft blue eyes,
just one glance, and the flag
of his independence was hauled
down; the gates OF the citadel
were flung wide open; and the
whole garrison turned out with
a riotous roll of the conquered
drums, a joyous Haunting of
the lowered colors, to do homage
to the victor.
Joseph's father openly re-
joiced in his sons overthrow,
promising himself much plasure

Topic.-Christ, the Great Physician
Auke Nv. 1919; V, A-S2; Pet. ii, a.
Christ has well been called the Great
physician. During His earthly exist
snce He used His miraculous power
Dor the physical healing of the people,
md as the physician of the body He
healed all kinds of diseases. and in no
instance did He fail to successfully
meet the needs of the case. Such a
record would place Christ's name as a
physician at the head of the list of
the great physicians who have blessed
mankind in the years gone by. But
Christs claim to greatness as physi-
clan does not rest upon His work for
the physical man. He was more than
this-the physician of the soul. In
this field He stands alone. Others may
do something toward healing the body.
but only Christ can cure the soul of its
sickneSses-
l. Christ's mission on earth was to
heal men spiritually. Sin sickened the
whole human being. and Christ came to
save man from the guilt, power and
consequences of sin and to heal the
wounds and heartaches that followed
In sins train He Himself declared
this to be His mission when in the syn
agogue at Nazareth. He applied 1sa-
tahs prophecy to Himself-"He hath
sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
preach deliveranee to captives and re
covering of sight TO the blind, to set
ut liberty them that are bruised In
answer to the murmuring of the Phari-
sees concerning His association with
publicans and sinners at the feast of
Levi. Christ taught the same truth con-
csrning Himself. They that are
WHOLE He said, need not physician,
but they that are sick. came not to
call the righteous. but sinners, to re-
pentance" To heal the sin sick was
therefore Christ's supreme mission on
earth, and all need to be healed, for all
have sinned and come short of the glo-
" of God. Moreover. Christ alone can
heal us, for there is none other name
under heaven given among men where
hy we must be saved
2. Christ, the Great Physician, made
possible the healing of the soul by the
Offering up of Himself a sacrifice for
IN. "Who His own self bare our
sins In His own body on the tree that
We, being dead to sins, should live unto
Righteousness, by whose stripes we are
healed" He died on the cross of Cal
vary as a substitute for sin sick hui
manity, and His death makes it posi-
hle for US to have our sins forgiven
and to live a new life unto God. Thus
He paid the greatest price that one
could pay for those whom He would
heal. Physicians often make serious
self denials for their patients and in
% doing greatly endear themselves TO
them. Christ, our Great Physician.
died that He might give life eternal
10 those who were dead in sins. Have
we accepted this sacrifice, and, if so,
do we appreciate all He has done for
us, and are we living for Him?
