His fife, he said. was divided into two parts; first, the manifestation of the glory of His life tation of glory in His deatn and res urrection.
 On the one side His life had not been in vain, nor had He failed in His pur- pose of impressing the truth. In offer ing Himself for the sins of the world He uttered his last great prophecy.
 In emphasizing the great lesson of his text upon the hearts and minds of his hearers MT Dunbar likened Gods sending Jesus Christ into this world, a mighty magnet to draw people unto Him, to a highly tempered steel magnet thrust into jar containing grains of steel an ddead sand Just as the par ticles of steel cling to the magnet. the dead sand falling away. so do the be- lievers in God cling to his magnet. the Christ. the unbelievers fall,hg into oA' N" Christ . Magnet.
 Christ is a magnet for lost world" he said. and our hope IS in clinging to Him.
 Mr Ogden treated the subject un der three heads: tirs:" Jesus Christ as a mighty magnet; second, the great force that centers in the magnet. and third the apparent results.
 He spoke of the many incidents in truths of his own magnetism. He spoke of people accepting the great moral laws of Christ. and rejecting those things which were of the most importsnce He spoke of Thomas est men of this country. but character. ized his dealings with the writings of the life of Christ as unfair and dis honest. -
 The speaker admon;shed the young women of the Association to be not over arduous in washing the world dirty, In housing the world homeless, and in feeding the world hungry, to the exclusion of that better part. that Christ.
 In the second division of his subject he emphasized the thought that Christ for one one little coterie of men. but for the whole world. He spoke of the love of men as having in moments or excite he said, was the measure of Gods lo<e for dying world. His i'lea was for

 In the third thought, he emphasized the magnificent results from Christs magnetic influence on the world. He said that in the long ago there walked by the sea of Galilee a great spirit. Peter, James and John walked there and knelt down and worshiped it. later on by the Mediterr n ear. other great men bowed down to the same spirit. Later, on. down the ages. on the shore of the Atlantic. men like Wes- ley. Knox and Moody bowed down be- fore Him, and still later on the shores of the Pacific the same Spirit walks, and the people of China, Japan and the islands o1 the sea are DOwlng d.wn and worshiping. Through ali lhe ages Christ has drawn men to Him, and so made His impress on che life and thought of the world. It IS a splendid thought. he saio. to be bound to the magnet with drawing power of uni versal scope. to be bound to the Christ that conCuers.
 With the singing of the coronation hymn the fourth annual convention of the Gulf States Young Women's ChIis tian Association was declared by the President. Mrs A McD. Wiisoon. to stand closed until the nex: annual meet
