CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

BY REV. S. II, DOYLE.

BY REV. S. IL. DOYLE.
Topic.-what does Christs life show us
about the Father?-John xiv, ga.
Before the coua;ag of Christ the peo-
pie of God had but faint conception
of God as their Father. The Old Tesla
ment revelations of God set forth His
power, his relation to His people rs a
covenant maker and keeper and such
attributes as Ills eternity and holiness
rather than His fatherhood, The titles
used to designate God We're Elohim,
Jehovah, the | am" rather than the
more endearing name of Father. But
Christ changed this conception in tie
New Testament. Old Testament titles
gave way to that of Father" Christ
taught His disciples to pray Our Fa-
Their" and this was TIE namo which
He most frequently used i'll addressing
God. In prayer lie addressed God as
Father andin conversation with 9th
ers this was the title used. In the pas
sage before Us from john lie uses this
appeIlation no less than sixteen times
and in doing so revealed to us much
important truth concerning the Father.
From Christ here we may learn:
l. The way to the Father. And this
way is none other than Christ Himself.
81 am the way. the truth and the life;
no man cometh unto tie Father but
by Me-" Christ makes it possible for
sinful man to make his way buck 10
God But for His atoning death upon
the cross mans reconciliation with God
would be impossible. But now He is
''the door," 1.-THE way" and if we will
accept His sacrifice for us we can get
back to God, our Heavenly Father
And in no other way can it be done
How important. then, that we accept
the ample provision made in Christ
2. The unity of God the Father and
Of God the Son. The doctrine of the
Trinity is an insoluble mystery. We
cannot comprehend il or explain it, yet
the fact is very clear revelation of
Scripture, as can be seen in the pas
sage before us so far as the Father and
Bon are concerned. To Philips in
Quiries Jesus said. He that hath seen
Ne hath seen the Father" and again,
Il am in the Father and the Father in
Me-" and to prove His assertion Cl.is;
appealed to His works. His works
were divine. His life was free from
Mn. What could He have been. then.
but divine? And, there being but one
God, He and the Father must be ore
Glorious though mysterious tretll,
Then the Father in giving tie Son Toi
the world gave Himself, and back Of
the power Of Christ is the power Of
God, able to sustain us amid the trials
and hardships of life.

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear M, b. rFtenQS.
Greetings of the spring to you ALL The
skies are a softer blue, the clouds are
fieecy and light, some robins have been
hopping over the brown fields, and spar
row sang solo all about spring the other
morning.
Just for this week think of that side of
it. Next week-if you must discuss the
turning of carpets, the mud on the kitchen
floor; the winters accumulation of dust,
and the need of an abundance of soap and
water.

the following letter from Susan" will not
come amiss. 1t is one Of those that has

Cannot Leave the United States.

The president must not leave the
United States even for day. This
is an old, unwritten law which has
been respected by all successors of
George Washington, with perhaps one
or two exceptions. This restriction is
not imposed by statute. President
Mckinley emphasized his respect for
this rule on his tour to the south and
west. It was unofficially announced
that he would meet President Diaz,
of Mexico, somewhere near the boun-
dairy of that sister republic. A con5
tpoversy as to whether Mr.. Mckinley
might properly cross the Mexican line
even for a few hours, arose. Early
in May, when he visited El Paso,
Texas, where he was greeted by Pres
ident Diaz's personal representative,
he expressed a desire to take a look
into Mexico.
From Ell Paso there extends into
Mexico the international bridge span
ming the Rio Grande. Whether the
president would dare to cross this
structure or not was the question
which members of his party asked
{ Ollt dllOAh0ls Ilt llAl llONs nc went
to the bridge and caught view of the
Sierre Madre. Halfway across the
bridge was a line. Stepping over this
was putting foot upon Mexican ter
ritory.
President Harrison had ventured as
far as this line 10 years before. But
President Mckinley did not so much
as place his foot upon this bridge
President Arthur was accused of vio-
lating this unwritten law in October,
1883, upon a pleasure trip to AleXan-
dria bay, Thousand Islands. His po-
litical enemies accused him then of
venturing across the Canadian line
on a fishing excursion. The boundary
between Canada and New York ex-
tends to the middle of the st. Law
renee river.
President Cleveland was similarly
accused. On one of his hunting trips
to North Carolina he sailed by the
ocean route past Cape Hatteras, His
enemies contended that he ventured
outside the three mile limit. Accord
| ing to international law, a country's
possessions extend for three miles out
/ side it's coast line. Plying the seas
farther than this is leaving home ter
ritory.
The president must not accept gifts
of great value from interiors in the
| federal service, but he may accept
gifts from foreigners. Grant, McKin-
l'ley and Mr.. Roosevelt have received
gifts from foreign rulers. Several
gifts have hen sent 70 Mr. Roosevelt
from the west.

Cremation in England.

Cremation in England is making
headway slowly and the prejudice
against 1t is gradually weakening,
says a recent consular report There
are six crematories in that country,
the first having been established in
1885, and the total number of incin-
erations so far has been 4407. The
number for 1904 increased by 81
over the year before. Only the bodies
of those who stipuiate in their wills
that they wish their bodies disposed
of in this way are cremated. This is
due to court law that everyone is
entitled to Christian burial and that
cremation does not constitute Chris
tian burial.
