Just as the image of an angeI
lies hidden in the great block Of
marble and only needs the mallet,
chisel and skill of the sculptor to
bring it out, SO in these poor sin
polluted lives of ours there is an
image of Christ, which only awaits
the mallet of divine love, the chisel
of divine affliction and skill of d.
vine grace to bring it out.
We shall see Him in ourselves
and in each other.
But | near some one say, oh, but
there is but little in us now that
promises that we shall be like
Christ.
True, but in the traitor that pro-
fanely denied his Master there was
littlO promise of the famous st.
Peter who died as a martyr.
In heproud self-righteous perse-
cutor, Saul of Tarsus, there was
but little that promised to become
Paul the great apostle of the Gen
tiles.
In that wretched blasphemer
along the coasts of Africa there
was but little that looked like John
Newton the great and jealous min
lister of Christ.
In the wild, vulgar and profane
tinker of Bedford there was no
promise of one who should write
that great alegory of the progress
of the soul in its pilgrimage to-
wards God - Bunyon's Pilgrims
Progress.
In the ignorant and narrow mind
ed we can see no trace Of the un-
trameled understanding of the
Spirit Of God; in the bitter parti-
san Pharisee who holds at arms
length all who differ from him we
can see but little promise of per-
fected love.
But He who knows what is in
man, and what the Blessed Spirit
can make of man, can see the tint
est opening bud Of divine grace in
the heart and reveal to men through
its Spirit what it is to be. Il shall
see Him, but not now; l shall be-
hold Him, but not nigh"

CHRISTMAS SERMON.
BY ]. L. HuDGINs.

the true God prevailed, and it is
several times said that the word OF
the Lord was in his mouth. The
meaning of that is that he had the
gift Of prophecy and was con-
strained to speak as the spirit
moved him.
But to whom did the prophecy
of Baalam refer? Some one an
swers, to David and other kings of
Israel. Perhaps so, indirectly.
And in like manner to every man
and woman who has found and
conscientiously filed the place in
divine economy for which he was
fitted.
But, it refers to One beyond and
greater than Israel. II shall see
Him, but not now; | shall behold
Him, but not nigh"
Evidently the prophecy refers
to Him in whom all prophecy con-
verged, and to whom all the ends
Of this poor sin cursed world look
for salvation.
Of course one who now reads it
are much better prepared to under
stand the meaning of this prophe.
cy than were the people of Ba-
laam's day.
But, though living as we do I'M
der the lime light of Christian
civilization and divine revelation.
there is still a veil over this prophe-
cy, through which but few have
looked. IL shall see Him, but not
now; ! shall behold Him, but not
nigh"
John the beloved disciple came
close up to the veil and seemed to
begin to catch a glimpse of the full
and complete fulfillment, when he
said, " Behold what manner of
love" etc. ''Beloved, now arc we
the sons of God" and oh hew the
heart longs to know what might
have been the continuation of that
strain.
But he stopped suddenly and
said, ut doth not yet appear, !"

Text, Numbers 24.7 Il shall see
Him, but not now; | shall behold Him
but not nigh"
These were the words of Balaam,
an Eastern sage, as he advertised
Ba-lak Of what lay out IN the great
future for the people who hon
ored God.
BALKAN doubtless had reference
to the wise men who came from
the East seeking Christ.
Who were these men,
They were not Jesus, for the
East from which they came was
beyond the Holy Land, perhaps
Arabia or Persia
But whoever they were racially,
they were men who had learned to
look through nature up to natures
God, who were moved by natural
phenomena to spiritual thoughts.
1.-The heavens declare"
To them, doubtless, the sacred
books had been entrusted, and they
were the great religious leaders of
their age.
There were at this time wide
spread feeling among the Eastern
nations that a great deliverer was
soon to come.
Being familiar with astronomy,
as they must necessarily have been,
the appearance of new star at.
tracted their attention, and they,
out Of their own devotional nature,
at once recognized the star as be-
ing connected with some new rev
citation from heaven.
But from whence came these ex-
pectationsl Evidently from the
prophecy of Balaam, as expressed
in the text.
But hear some one say, Balaam
was soothsayer and often dealt
treacherously with his own con-
science.
All this is true, but he was never
theless a prophet and servant of
the living God.
He was of the land of Abram, a
land in which the knowledge of
