Topic.-How finding Christ changes the
iife--Matt Kill, 44-46. tConsecration meet
ing)
The supreme mission of every human
life should be to find God in our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. The greatest
desire of the wisest men that have ever
lived in this world has been to find God.
Wien the wise men of the east realized
that the Redeemer of the world had
been born they came hundreds of miles
under the most difficult circumstances
in order that they might find Him and
pay to Him the honor and worship of
their hearts and present to Him the
most valuable gifts. The desire of
every human soul has been to find God,
and it should be matter of great
thanksgiving and gratitude TO US that
He has been SO clearly and freely Of
fe-cd to us in the gospel and that the
promise HIS been given by the Master
Himself t,l;. those who seek shall find.
That the finding of Christ should
naturally and necessarily change the
life cannot be doubted or disputed. and
e may well ask ourselves the ques-
tl5l of the topic. What change should
finding Christ make in our lives!
l. Finding Christ should change the
inward life. Without such a change
it is absolutely proved that Christ has
not been found. Christianity is a life.
1t is the life of the Lord Jesus Christ
in the human heart. No man can be-
come a Christian without having
change of heart. Christ Himself said
to Nico1emus, Eye must be born
again" The inward motives and prin-
ciples of our lives must be completely
changed by our becoming Christians.
=. Finding Christ changes the out
ward life. LAS a man thinketh IN
his heart. so is he The outward life,
if a man be honest, is simply repro
duction of the thoughts of his heart.
His conduct is inspired by the motives
and the principles which govern him
within. Before we have found Christ
we may live for self or for the world
or for many other things, but when
once we have found Him our lives, in
wardly and outwardly, must absolute
ly be consecrated to Him. He is the
pearl of great price which when the
man found he sold all other gems in
order that he might have this one. He
is the hidden treasure which when a
man found he gave his all that it might
be his. Christ demands entire conse-
Grafton, and nothing short Of that Will
be satisfactory to Him.
Have we found Christ? If so, do our
lives show 1t? As we look into our in
ward lives, consider our thoughts ana
desires and ambitions, can we truth
fully say that our inward lives are cen
secrated to Him? As those about Us
look upon our outward lives can theT
say Of us that we show by our acts
that we have been with Jesus and haze
consecrated our lives to Him? These
two things are the tests as to whether
, or not we have really found Christ.

POTTER MOORE.


The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch n.
Moore was the scene of a pretty wedding
on Christmas Day, when their son Halsey
Newman Moore, and Miss Alice Dora Pot
ter, of Bucksport, were married. Owing
to the illness of the groom's father the
wedding was very simple. The ceremony
was performed at his bedside, only the
immediate relatives being present. The
room was prettily decorated. The bride
was becomingly gowned in white mousse
line de sole, and carried a bouquet of white
carnations and maiden-h hair fern.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. David Angel, of West fremont.
After the ceremony the happy pair were
driven to the home of the grooms broth
er, Philip Moore, where reception was
rendered them.
Among those present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Joyce and Miss Joyce, of At
lantic; Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Grindle, of
Bluehill; Herman w. Bowden, OF Bucks
port, and Miss Della E. Kelley, of Bangor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful presents.

Balfour Praises Jews

Many of the most famous among the
Jews of England and many Christians
of note assembled at the Hotel Great
Central the other night to celebrate by
a banquet the Whitehall conference of
$50 years ago at which Oliver Cromwell
decided there was no law which forbade
Jews to return to England. Balfour
was to have been present but was pre-
vented The chairman read a letter
from him in which, among other things,
the eX-prime minister wrote that if con-
tincntal Europe were to follow the eX-
ample set by England for the last $50
years its history would not be stained
by the many crimes and injustices which
now stand on record as a perpetual re-
proach to Christian civilization. Bal
four said in his letter that in England
there is no Jewish question. and that
the race prejudice and religious preju
dices which elsewhere play so disastrous
part in social organization, are un
heard of in Great Britain. "This is
due,' wrote the eX-prime minister. I'm
no small measure to the fact that the
Jews have proved themselves entirely
worthy of the rights and privileges
which they enjoy as citizens of this
country and because those rights and
privileges have been granted to them III
full measure. Long may those condi-
tions prevail. and long may they bear
all the good fruit which they have so
abundantly produced in the past.

Before setting out on the tour plans
had been formulated for it. but the con-
ditions proved to be different from what
the commissioners had expected. and the
plans had to be modified. The lives of
the commissioners were often in danger
and they were indebted for their safety
on several occasions to the tact and dis
