Grounds of This Approval.

AS contained in the text the words Of
copmendation are based upon the work of
sympathy and benevolence performed by
the saved. 1t is quite easy to misunder-
stand these words. They mean that when
the heart is brought into such sympathy
with Christ that these works of mercy
are the natural result. then these
blessings are the inevitable reward.
But they mean far more than that.
They mean that Christ has identified
Himself with His children everywhere;
that there is no poverty so dread. no
loneliness SO utter. no suffering or perse-
cution so intense. but that Jesus is there.
If they are His children. He has set up
His throne in their hearts, He lives with
them. He dwells in them, and no power
can drive Him thence. How difficult it
is for us to realize this truth. We think
OF Jesus as present in the crowded
cathedral. where the surging multitudes
gather for. worship: or we may believe
that He is out OH the sparse plain where
the two or three assemble in His name,
but to think Of Him as in the slum, where
the children cry for bread, in the prison,
with Its filth and chains, in the lonely
attic. where the fever burns, and the
pain racks. anywhere, everywhere, where
His saints may be scattered. this is diff
f1cult. But the truth presented in this
picture ls tnat lie Is not only there, but
that He is one with them. To visit them
and to minister to them is to visit and
to minister to Him, and to neglect them
is to neglect Him.
This means that we must identify our
selves with the children of God, however
poor they may be. however oppressed, and
however hopeless may seem to be their
case. Think Of the Armenians, with their
long and ceaseless prosecutions, their
atrocious wrongs. through all of which
they have held on to Christ Think OF
the negroes. on the Kongo. beaten, MAIN
ed. murdered: how difficult 1t is for us to
believe that Jesus will say to us respect
ing these: "Inasmuch as We have done
it unto these. We have done it unto me-

The Judge.

The Son Of Man. 1t is an impressive
fact that while the shadows Of Calvary
were falling about Him. Jesus could
calmly point to the future and declare
that when the drama of time should
close and the nations should be gathered
together for judgment that He would be
the judge. Here was the assertion un-
equivocal. and emphatic, that He was the
Son of God. True. He called himself
the Son of Man. It is because He had
taken humanity into himself. In Him
God and man were united. He Is the
Goldman. The Father has committed all
things pertaining to the church into His
hands. He is to be the final Judge Of
men. Can there be any clearer or more
,lnanswerable proof of His absolute one
ness with the Father?
He shall come in His glory Here
His glory was yelled. He was man
of sorrows and acquainted with grief"

Condemnation of the Wicked.

This picture is shield with two sides.
If the one side is inexpressfbly glorious
the other side is inconceivably terrible. On
the one side is come on the other de
part" There we have blessed" here is
the word Cursed There we have Pre-
pared for you from the foundation Of the
world: here is the terrible sentence,
Prepared for the devil and his angels
And the conclusion of it all is this:
"These (the wicked who neglected Christ
in the persons of His saints) shall go
away into everlasting punishment but
the righteous into life eternal"
The force Of this sentence can neither
be evaded nor broken. Men have tried It
and they have miserably failed The dura-
ton of the righteous is inseparably linked
with that Of the wicked. The argument
that would limit the punishment OF the
lost would also limit the blessedness Of
the saved.

The Separation.

HE shall separate them one from an
other. as shepherd divideth his sheep
from the goats" 1t is remarkable that
this separation takes place before the
Judgment. In a sense it is Judgment be-
fore the judgment. There Will be no I'M
certainty in that day of our fitness or un-
fitness for the dread ordeal. Even here,
wrapped around as We are by the coarse
garments OF flesh and blood, character
proclaims itself. Gentleness, tenderness

the features and proclaim the nobleness
Of their possessor; while the biear eye
the blOated form. the treacherous look
the deceitful smile reveal the inward Vile
ness.
But flesh and blood do not inherit the
kingdoms OF the beyond. There charac-
ter will proclaim itself with an emphasis
that none can deny. And So there will
be no difficulty in separating the sheep
from the goats. The separation will be
complete, 1t will be Just and it will be
final.
Men are divided here and now. Family,
wealth, genius. position. power, these are
the partitions by which it is sought to
separate men In this life. But these par
titions are unnatural They have in them
no moral value. and they are useless. But
there the partition is moral and natural
1t is a chasm, impossible and eternal.

The Last Judgment.
Matthew: 25:31.46.

-eHE teaching by parable was now
ended. But three days re-
manned before the tragic events
/. on Calvary. One more picture
must be thrown upon the can
vas but that picture must be painted IN
coIors that can never fade. The judg-
ment is not new or isolated doctrine in
the gospels. Again and again 1t Is
taught, clearly and Enthusiastically. In
the parallels of the virgins. the talents
and the pounds the doctrine Of per-
sonal judgment is clearly ana wildly
taught.
This doctrine Of final judgment is
also foreshadowed by many OF the events
of time. day of judgment has come
and is coming to both nations and men:
Noah. 1t came to Sodom and Gomorrah;
it came to the Jews in the destruction Of
Jerusalem. and it came to all the Old
nations of antiquity-Chaldea. Assyr1a,
feeble types Of the judgment which we
are now to study.
This is the climax of the worlds his
tory; II is the close of the present dis
pensation. and it Is at once the most
awful and the most sublime event that
can mark the history Of time. 1t means
the gathering OF all the nations tribes
and tongues with which this world mas
been peopled from the days OF Adam. 1t
will include the last babe whose faint
cry broke upon the air when the trumpet
sounded that summoned the dead to stand
before the awful tribunal. 1t will be in
conceivable in both grandeur and terror.
One of the most brilliant descriptions
TO be found in literature is that of Ma
caulay in his account Of the trial Of War
rem Hastings. 1t was a memorable event
in the history Of England. and Its por-
trsyal by Macaulay was enough to i'm
mortalize its author. But all earthly
scenes and descriptions pale and shrivel
to nothingness when placed beside the
final judgment.
Let US repeat what We may have al
ready said. 1t was the eve Of the cruel
fixion. Jesus was looking steadily into
the awful depths of the inconceivable
agony that was just before Him. He
was to be betrayed, forsaken, scourged,
crucified: and yet, these should pass
away. There was coming for Him q
time of glory.
When the Son of Man shall come in
His glory and all the holy angels with
Him, then shall He sit on the throne of
His glory"
