81 dispute no mans freedom Of

be willing to believe that man has
no prominence over beast | do not
know. You say that you cannot be-
lieve the miracle of the resurrection.
Let me tell you the story of a great
er miracle than that. 1t is the story
of poor peasant. a member of de-
spised and subject race, himself de-
spised, the place Of his birth despis-
ed by his own countryman. In lit
tie while he dies a felon's death and
all those above him forgot he ever
lived. Yet somehow his word lived
on.
PHILOSOPHY with all its wisdom,
priestcraft with all its terror, kings
welding the iron power Of all the
world, but over armies, over dying
dynasties and crumbling thrones,
rivers of blood and seas Of fire, that
power swept on and on until it has
made conquest Of the earth, until
every king on every throne bows
down in alteration to the dead peas
ant of Galilee and the very instru-
ment of his felon's death has become
a symbol of salvation to all mankind.
Do you believe that story? 1t is the
story of a greater miracle than that
a man died and rose from the dead.
Young gentlemen be not among
those who scott at religion, which is
the last hope Of the world, whose
consolation you yourself will need in
the time Of af1iction and the hour
of death. ''-E. W. Carmack.

Lie.

Life is just a little
Of the good and of the bad,
Of things which keep US happy
And of things which make US sad;
Life is just a measure
Of the song the world has sung
Ever since the world has yearned
For the dreams which keep US young
Take to heart the goodness
Which presents itself to view,
Every smile you garner
Serves to keep the heavens blue;
Every bit Of cheering
Which you lend along the way
Makes a glad tomorrow
And beautiful to-day.
When the tears are falling,
And the hearts no longer light,
When despair is calling
And your hope is planning flight;
Don't you lose your courage
Be man and say you're glad
That life is just q little
Of the good and of the bad.

where the gospel of Jesus is
preached. Yet this is not the
thing aimed at in missions.
The one driving purpose IS to
carry to men \ SAVIOUR FROM
SIN, and to take Him 50 earn
estly and wins0mety that men
yonder shall be wooed and won
to the real God, whom they
have lost knowledge Of.
1t cannot be said too plainly
that the world IS lost. 1t has
strayed so far away from the
Fathers house that it has lost
all it's bearings, and cans find
its way back without help.
The old preaching that this IS q
lost world is true. But we
need to remember the different
uses Of that word world. In
the old time conception it was
used III Il loose way as meaning
the spirit that actuates men III
the world. The scheme Of self
ishness and -wickedness and
sinfulness which has overcast
all life is commonly spoken OF
in the Bible as the world spirit.
In that sense the world is bad,
and only bad. Men are to be
saved out of it, as Moody said.
But, in the other commoner
use Of it, that word "world"
simply means the whole race
OF men. And we must remind
ourselves vigorously of the
plain truth that this is lost
world. That is to say, men
have gotten away from God.
They completely mlsunder-
stand Him. Then they do
worse. and worse, they misrep-
resent and SANDER Him. The
result is complete lack Of trust
in Him, They have lost their
mornings and have drifted out
to deep sea with no compass on
board. Thick fogs have risen
and shut out sun and stars and
every guiding thing. They are
hopeleasly and helplessly lost,
and need some one to bring the
compass SO as to get back to
shore, back home to God.
But this world Of men is to
be won. Jesus said He came to
save a world. and He Will NOT
fail nor rest content until He
has done it, and this has be-
/ come q saved world. He said
that He gave His life for the
| life OF the world; and the world
will yet know the fullness OF
| that life Of His throbbing in its
own heart. S. ID. Gordon.
