LAW AND GRACE.

By Rev. r. w. Dale, D. D., LII. D.
Text.-"For the law was given by
| Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ. John i:17.
Grace came by Jesus Christ. You
| think that by an eternal law you must
suffer for your sins. The Christian
| Gospel declares that Christ suffered for
| them. His relations to us are of kind
which made it possible for Him, as it
was possible for no one else. He suf-
| fered for them, and instead of your
suffering whenever you remember them
| He diSsOlves the iron links which bind
men to their sins, He releases them
| from the sense of guilt, He gives them
cheerfulness and buoyancy again. CAS-
far as the east is from the west, so
| far does He remove our transgressions
| from u.s." From that inner conscious
ness of guilt Christ gives us perfect
| deliverance.
Grace came by Jesus Christ He
| does not say Give righteously, and God
| will be at peace with you,' but God
| is at peace with you, therefore live
| righteOuSly." He finds us in our sin.
| Whenever He really finds us we are
| conscious of our sin, and so we are
ready in our strong belief in that form
| of law which is familiar to us to say,
| God can be no friend Of mine as yet :;
| l must amend my ways, I must break
nfT hob it, 7
evil passions, l must become pure, de-
vout, earnest about religion, and then
! God will be at peace with me-" That
| is law. What Christ says is, God is
| already at peace with you, is already
your friend. He will not wait till you
| have amended your ways before He dis
misses the remembrance of your sin. He
| dismisses it at once and will help you
| to mend your ways, will help you to
break off evil habits, will help you to
master evil passions, will help you to
! become pure, deyOut, and earnest about
religion" That is grace. People do
not see the glory of it, do not see what
| it means. They think that Christ only
came to make some things palmer to
the world than they were before. 1t
never occurred to them that it would
| not have been worth while for the
eternal Word Of God to become flesh in
order to do that. He came to reveal
what man had not known before, can
| not know apart from Him. 'DO this
and live" as some one has said, is the
voice of the law; Give and do this is
| the voice of grace and the voice of
| Christ. Grace comes, grants us to be
! gin with more than man had ever hoped
| for by perfect obedience and grace, tells
man that by an obedience he would
never have been capable of before, he
is to retain this great wealth and con-
stantly to augment it. And so in a
higher region grace and law blend
| The law is not made void-it is estab-
lished; the Righteousness that law de-
mands grace renders possible; and so
man is glorified forever in the eternal
| glory of God.

FALLS FROM HIGH ROOF

ence Nightingale would have failed
without the vision. In the rewards of
wage or fame there would be no power
to bear them up, on the contrary their
daily experiences We're enough to turn
them from the chosen path, but for the
lofty confidence that they were doing
the one work for them, but for the
inspiration of the ideal before them.
And this is any mans religion. to fol-
low his ideal, to seek to be the best that
day by day he knows, to do the highest
duty that any lofty desire indicates, to
take the path that leads up in love, and
service, and purity of living. The re-
ligious life is the life that moves up
into its higher self and so ever finds
new heights before it.
The great question for every man in
religion is, not so much whether he will
obey the ten commandments, not so
much whether he will bend to the die
tate of church or preacher, but whether
he will be obedient to the inner vision.

his dull ways of self-content and rise
to higher living, to sacrifcal service.
That vision calls US to paths of pain,
that vision, if you but heed and seek
to obey, makes tremendous demands of
you. 1t is not the easy, needless follow
ing of an emotional, romantic love for
glory it is the thorny path of the cross
the way of burden bearing; it is so hard
as to be heroic.
The thing that is eating like a canker
into our hearts, and rObbing us of our
power, and stealing our possibilities is
our love of ease, our hatred of the
things that are hard we refuse to obey
the heavenly vision because to do so
would be to endure hardness, to for
sake our soft and pleasant ways. So
seeking ease we lose life.
Our days are filed with a dull dis
content, not because we do not possess
the things of this life, but because we
have missed its greatest prize, the joy
of following growing ideals. There is
nothing we need to cherish more, to
guard more closely than this, the Wis
ions that stir to greatness. the passion
for perfection, the hope of high living
