Wonder and Gratitude.

BY THE REV. GEORGE DONALD, Haddington
''The MaSearchabIe riches of Christ ''-Ephe-
slams iii. 8.
1t has been said of Phillips Brooks that he sell
dom preached a sermon without using the word
"richness." 1t might with equal truth be said Of
ST. Paul that he seldom wrote an epistle without
using the word 'rches" when referring to the
Gospel Of Christ The word is especially promi-
nent in the Epistle to the Ephesans, which con-
tains full appreciation Of the Gospel according
to st. Paul 1t. almost seems, indeed, as if at the
moment Of writing the full glory of Gods revela-
ton had just been disclosed to the apostle. He
could hardly grasp, far less express, the immense
truth. He is filled with wonder at the amazing
gift Of love. Thought is outdistanced; speed is
impossible The wealth Of the evangel dazzes
and overwhems him; it is 'unspeakabe,' it is
"unsearchable."
Yet wonder was not the apostles only emotion.
In this epistle especially his gratitude for these
unsearchable riches finds frequent expression.
His words are eloquent with praise His whole
attitudes betokens thankfulness He elbows his
knees, he thanks his God, and ascribes to Him
"gOry, and honor, and praise
Wonder and gratitude are among the most dis
tinctive features Of st. Paul's Christian life.
In one of his essays DR.. John Brown quotes
from the mouth of a great physician and his friend
these words, ''My religion consists mainly of won

The closing hour of the council was occupied
with routine business, the appointment of commit
tees, adoption of bylaws and the election of the
corresponding secretary. By rising vote and

Rev. Charles Stelzle making the address. Bishop
Whitaker presided over the meeting on F'Brother-

Saturday evening, Witherspoon Hall had been
crowded to it's utmost capacity by delegations
from the Young Peoples Societies of the city and
vicinity. On Monday evening brilliant recep-
ton was given to the delegates and friends in the
Academy of Music, Bishop Mackay Smith pre-
siding, DR.. G. f. Aked Of the Fifth Avenue Bap-

1t will not be easier to find better even in our
enlightened days, only it must be a rational won
der, productive gratitude-the gratitude that of
a man who does not rest content with the emo
ton but goes at once into the motive and that a
1notVe which really moves and the wonder that
OF man who In reverencing God knows Him. and
In hOnOr1ng all men respects himself''
Such, to extent at least were the wonder
and gratitude OF st. Paul for the riches of Christ
The wonder Of these riches had touched him be-
cause he knew God, and reverenced Him. and hon
Ored all men, and respected himself. His wonder
was entire y rational The native Indian regards
the photograph of his Sahib as a miracle a thing
that cannot be explained but must be accepted
without question and revered. The miracle of
riches which the apostle beheld created in him
wonder and amazement, but his knowledge of the
love OF God explained it. He was surprised vet
not puzzled; he was amazed, yet his mind remain
ed active. He was able to reason the matter out
His past experience of Gods goodness had pre-
pared him for this He might have known to
expect nothing less
The tokens and proofs Of the riches of the Cos
pei make men wonder to-day. At the story of the
greatness OF Christs power, of the BREADTH
length, depth and height of His love- of His long
suffering and patience and care men and women
exchange looks and signs of wonder. But how fire.
quently this feeling is allowed to dominate the
Dram and para we the mind. The wonder that
stuns to inactivity is irrational The amazement
that binds as by spell and ties the tongue and
steals away the mind, is treacherous emotion
AS we wonder we must seek also to discern The
mind must never be chlorofOrmed into simple, I'M
questioning acceptance, but must always move
swiftly to the explanation, and seek reason for
the truth revealed.
Again, if we really know God, as ST. Paul knew
Hlm-loving, fOrgiving, lavish, unstinting, then
we shall reverence well as wonder. We shall
honor all men made in His image and respect our
selves and we shall worship and glorfy and thank
Him for whom such bountiful gifts flow.

CUBANS ENTER PROTEST
AGAINST DIVERS BID

HAVANA. April 1O.-Cuban bidders on
the matchmaking OF the seventy miles
Of highway between San Cristobal and
Pinar del Rio are arguing before the
Government representative today
against the acceptance of the S.30O,O0O
proposition submitted by w. J. Oliver,
of Knoxville. Tenn. one Of the Panama
Canal bidders.
The real basis OF their objection Is, OF
course, their unwillingness to see Oil
yer, whose offer was the lowest, take
the work out OF their hands.
Technically, however. the protests rest
on the charge that the American pro-
poses to import $500 workers from the
United States. though thousands Of Gu
bans need the employment.
