THE FIRST MIRACLE.

SO John calls it; and, as he was one of the first
pair of disciples he is probably correct. 1t was
kindly deed-a deed of human distinguished from
divine kindness. When our Lord healed the sick and
raised the dead it was by a divine sort of compass
sion for suffering. But he turned the water into
wine simply to his youthful friends the pain
of embarrassment. 1t set the seal of a kindly hui
mainly upon him. Not even the divineness of the
wonder working power avails to make him less at
that moment than very man."
Perhaps the success of Jesus in securing disciples
increased the wedding company unexpectedly, and
for this he felt sort of responsibility Perhaps his
mother was a relative; certainly she intimate
OF the family of the groom. Was Joseph her hus-
band, dead already, and she in the habit of leaning
upon her resOurceful frstborn son? We cannot tell
but much seems implied. She advised him of the
shortage with implicit faith that he would make it
good, though, doubtless, she did not know how 1t
IS thus that women trust the they lean upon.
Even though seemingly rebuTed she said to the ser
wants Do what he tells you"
Jesus himself hestated. His hour was not vet
come. What would it to the public to Herod
to his disciples if he began so soon to let break
out this power that was in him? 1t was a risk.
At best he destined to live too fast to have his
ministry cut short before the was in the sky
But his mothers faith and the straits of his host
persuaded him. He spoke the word:
The conscious water saw its Lord and bushed~
And his disciples believed him. He had taught
them two lessons, but they probably concerned
themselves only with He had shown his power
and they believed on him. He had also shown his
love, his exquisite courtesy. This was that they
might see it and initiate it. They probably did not
do this. Many there still who think that faith is
better than love; but it is not 1t is no better pass
port to heaven and not good grace of character
earth.
There are also people still who are so concerned
about the wine that they miss the lesson of love
and of consideration. As for the question of the
kind Of wine, it is hardly likely that the master of
the feast would have pronounced il good if it had
been merely grape juice. The phrase he used in his
comment indicates that the wine he was used to
made drunk, for ne said that after men are
little drunk they will put up with inferior wine.
Christ did not work his miracle to teach lesson of
temperance but to teach a lesson of gentle con
sideration for others. That is worth as much in its
way as is temperance. Would that it we're more

OF that which is greater than yourself and that SER
vice touches your life with its own greatness II is
las though you were lighthouse keeper set to do
your duty on your rock. Can any life be more
unpraised or insignificant? Why sit through the
weary nights to keep your flame alive? WHY not
sleep ON, all unobserved, and let your light go OUT
Because it is not your light-that is the point
You are set there with this your trust The great

REVIVAL IN A JAM FACTORY.
In the course of our work in Dundee, Scotland
we went one afternoon to a jam factory where
there were about 1.20O people employed and
taught them the hymn ''Nev Lose Sight of Jesus"
Noticing one girl who possessed remarkably beau
uiul voice ! said, 'Will you please stand up and
sing that chorus for us? If you will will give YOU
book" She stood up, faced the whole audience
and sang Never Lose Sight of Jesus and cave
her the book.
We went back and soon af1erward the manager
OF the factory telephoned to us I'VE must have Won

found our employees take such an interest in spirit
