BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Communion Is impossible without
knowledge we cannot commune
with 4 Christ whom we do not know
and, in a degree at least. understands
And we cannot know Christ. his life
his character, his aims, without con
slant and careful study of the book
that is meant to reveal him to his fol-
lowers. Communion, therefore, the
most desira BILE blessing IN the universe.
is subsequent to Bible study. The first
and greatest means Of getting close to
our Master IS the word that he has
left us.
We must sit at the feet of the Mas
ter before we can walk by his side.

The disciples who get closest to
Christ, and who live most constantly in
the sunshine of his presence, are those
who have passed through the valley OF
self surrender and who have there
learned the secret of Il submissive
spirit. Jesus delights to walk with
tn ose whose hearts declare, lot my
will, but thine, be done.
Closeness to Christ necessitates sepa-
ration from self
Take your measure Of the worth of
things from the Redeemer- And when
the journey is over and the hill is
climbed. and you look back out Of the
cloudless dawn. I think you will find
that in the fellowship of Christ you
have been saved from many a mis-
taken Morrison.
Many persons thronged near to the
person of Christ during the days OF his
popularity, but only a few were by his
side at the time of his rejection. The
first never We're truly close to the real
Christ; that was a boon reserved only
for those who were willing to go with
him through all the way that his foot
steps walked. We cannot enjoy COM
muniOn with Christ unless we are will
ing to cross the brook and enter with
him the gloomy garden on the hillside.
If we Will not have his companionship
through all experiences, we cannot
have it at all.
Every time we do a deed of love in
the name of Jesus we take a step to-
ward him.
We cannot choose our way II we
would walk with Christ. His will must
himself and a disciple. Self-surrender
is the first condition Of communion.
y
Nearness to Christ does not mean
distance from our fellow men.
Nothing that is great enough to aft
feet the life of a disciple is TOO small
to touch the heart Of God.
X X
Christ's life was full of praying nights
on the mountain tops. The buster he
was among men. the more he felt the
need of these times apart from the
world in communion with the Father
In our hurrying. restless lives we should
make more of the nights of prayer. IF
we insist upon having quiet times alone
with God, when we can look up into his
face, and pour out to him our full souls
we shall find that the very power and
peace of God will steal into our lives to
enrich and strengthen them.

Communion is the souls desire di-
rected .Godward.
II we are living in the attitude Of
communion all our thoughts and all
our wishes become true prayers. In
recognizing the Father as the dispen-
ser Of all the mercies that enter our
lives. and in depending upon him to
supply all our needs, We really pray
