Theme: Jesus Imperial Spirit.

and Second street. Sunday morning,
the Rev. Charles S. Mcfarland, Phi.
D., Of the Congregational Church of
South Norwalk, Conn, author of
"The Infinite Affection" and other
works, preached on "The Imperial
Spirit of Jesus" The texts were
from John 1927: "Peace I leave
with YOU; My peace I give unto you;
not as the world giveth, give I unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid" John 1898:

M~acfarland said:
Jesus is reassuring His disciples.
He says to them: Be courageous, be
world He mean the temporal life.
Be masters. He says owe that life;
let your spirits overcome it.
What a sublime picture! There
He is, awaiting the end. He is going
down to apparent defeat, to human
eyes. His life seems nought. The
cross awaits Him, a cross between
the crosses of two thieves. Barabbas
is to be chosen instead of Himself.
He no longer has any followers, ex-
cept those faithful few, and even they
are trembling, fearful and ready to
fee. Yet He utters these strangely
contradictory words, 81 am the Mas
ter of the world"
We see here also the moral grau-
deur of Jesus, the translation Of His
personality and His inner life into
terms Of moral power. AS He was
the great thinker, Sc He was the
noble liver of the race. AS He gains
the mastery of lofty minds, so He is
the sovereign of all noble lives.
His splendid life is now centering
in the cross toward which it has been
leading. From the beginning He has
seen the end. Behind Him is a long
trail of moral strength. From Him
goes the impression of a sovereign
personality. He is the supreme ex-
ample of noble living, for the man.
hood of our day, with it's alternating
bravery and cowardice, with its noble
resolve and weak compliance. Jesus

Having in some measure appre-
hended the splendid mind of the Mas
ter and gathered something of the
moral grandeur of His life, we seek
to discover the hidden secret of His
outward %splendor. Let us try to look
into His soul and discover the mean
ing of this majestic. brave, strong,
impellingly attractive manhood.
