area of his spirit we live and move and have our being. Every soul needs human Confessor to whom it can pour out it's tale of pent up woe. Pro- tector to whom it can flee in time of temptation and danger, Ldberator who can break its shackles and set free from the tyranny of things, Of superstitions and fears, of pain and sorrow. Hence to Paul, Christ was primarily a Deiiverer. It was not for forgiveness he prayed first and most but for delivefance. It was not to the Great Forgiver but to the Great Dcliverer that he sang his noblest to think of the Messiah as coming not to deliver a wayward people from their sins but to bring Q righteous people their reward. But 1t is all reversed now and He becomes first the Great Deliverer. Not less important is 1t to have a friend to whom we can go for succor and support. for guidance and inspiration, for the sweet upnit that comes from the reaction of spirit upon spirit based upon mutual recog- hilton of personal integrity and worth. ..Eyery soul needs to have One be- fore the throne as the embodiment or what our hearts can find no language to express. And His spirit is ours. His attitude toward all things in Heav- en above and in the earth below. It is ours to love the things that He loves. hate the things He hated. rejoice oyer the things that gave Him joy, weep over the things that He wept over.

Let Him be verify our other self whose abiding presence holds before us the things we fain would be.

 "There is a nobler self waiting for you if you be raised with Christ far on in front. What that self is 'somo day you will understand The tears will all be wiped away from your face, the wrinkles all smoothed from your brow. the dullness all taken out of your eyes, and the heaviness out of your brain. and the clumsiness out of your hands and the harshness out of your voice. and the coldness will all be melted out of your heart. That self will be the substance of which this is but the shifting shadow, and another self is there waiting to well come you home.

If you livs with the Christ you will be made known to the world only when He shall be understood, and that is millen- niums ahead. But the glory of that manifestation will be ample compen- sation for the solitude of the day.
