our Fathers will, and he has given me
these things to do, and these works

him to all men. / do this in various
ways, because men see from different
angles and from different motives.
Some see the revelation of God the
Father in my teachings, others in my
daily living, others in the WONDERFUL
works that I perform, others need 10
be awakened to a sense OF their own
dependence. others need to be led from
darkness to light. | am come lisnt

to the hopeless, joyto the sad and de-
Spondent.
To those who know not the joys,
blessings and pleasures of such rev.

Stands Above All Others.
The good news is to be delivered to
every creature. Jesus stands above
the reformers and founders of rel1g-
ions. for He stands as lofty noun
tain peak above other strong and
mighty peaks about him. There is in
him something to admire, revere and
love. AS people gaze upon Him as one
who shed His blood on the cross Tor
sinners, they feel the power of His

drawn toward Him. They become
united to Him, and become one with
Him. They see in His life, His teach
ings, His death, the fullest expression
of the Fathers love.
We need to magnify the Man OF
Nazareth, the Saviour of the World.
the Great Leader He is more than
a great philanthropist, more than a
reformer, more than a teacher. more
than founder of a sect. HE is head
of every man, the King who rules the
empire of human souls. the Resurrec-
ton and the Life" He is endowed
with power from on high to enable
him to accomplish his great office Of
bringing the world unto God. When
people looked upon him they saw di-
vine beauty shining from his life. He
is the official agent of the Father on
earth He is the Great Leader.
How, then, is Jesus leading all souls
into perfectness? He has set his spfr-
it at work in man so that he works
! through man. Every man and every
woman who receives the Spirit OF
Christ must put that influence at
work, and by their works show the
power of the Christ life so that others
shall see it and be led by it.
Jesus Leads by Love.
1Jesus is the Great Teacher. He
/ has taught that there are two funda-
mental laws, both based on love, love
to God and love to man. Love is the
magnet that draws men. Love appeals
| to the better self of every individual
| Love is a universal language. Even
where one cannot speak a word OF
| the dialect of another people. or where
| the dialect is not known or understood
| love brings forth a response. Jesus
| leaos men of all classes, colors and
! conditions by love. Love appeals tic
men of every nation as it reaches the
| heart and brings forth disinteresteo
| service.
[ 2 Jesus leads by his light. His
| light has been the great impulse te
progress. Let the light of Christ shine
/ forth into all the world that it may
warm every heart and fill it with Gods
| love.
9. Jesus leads by being the living
| way. He gave an example of how te
| live: and the influence of his life has
| been and is being felt wherever the
| gospel is known. And as the gospe
is to be taken to every creature, ev-
! eryone shall know of that life ant
the power of his example. Our Lord il
| leading the world by leading men. The
