rested for assaulting a neighbor But
Il deyeloped later that the assailant
had been run over by his own auto
mobile, driven by the neighbor AS 1t
would have been clearly superhuman
self-control which would have checked
an attack under the circumstances,
the assault was condoned by a law
recognizing the limitations Of human
nature.

New York

New York.-Letters from King
George of England and President
Taft we're read at Carnegie Hall at

the publication, 300 years ego, OF
that version of the Holy Scriptures
which has so long held its own among
English-speaking peoples.
Its circulation in our homes has
done more, perhaps, than anything
else on earth to promote among old
and young the moral and religious
welfare on either side of the At
lantic.
The version which bears King
/ James name is so clearly interviewer
in the history of British and Ameri'
can life that it is right we should
thank God for 1t together
81 congratulate the President and
people Of the United States upon
their share in this or common
heritage"

sion of the English Bible.
The publication of the version o.
the Holy Scriptures in the year 1911
associates it with the early colonies
Of the English people upon this Con

that would be about two hundred and

REV. R. T. SMITH BREACHES
ON TOPLADYS IMMORTAL HYMN

as it was when Christ languished on
the cross. Cowper, in one of his ia.
nous hymns, touches the same note
as Toplady and sings
Thou dying Lamb! thy precious
blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more"
We next find Toplady referring tC
Christ under the highly suggestive
and beautiful figure of a rock 1t is
suggested in not only the opening but
also in the closing lines of the hymn
AS we study the Bible carefully We
find this word, Rock" frequently
used in a fgurative manner. In the
opening lines, Rock of Ages, Cleft
for me-" Toplady employs a familiar
scriptural figure as well as a highly
suggestive one. Herein we find one
reason why this hymn is such a uni
versal favorite, it typifying the power
and strength of Christ
The conception of Christ as the
Crock of Ages" is not only a great
one for the penitent, but it is also
great conception for the Christian
comforting him midst trials, tempta
tions, adversities and sorrows.
Christ-our Rock! What a glo
rious conception this is! suggesting
strength, solidity, permanency and
power.
In the last verse Of this great hymn
we find Toplady' pointing unerringly
to Christ as our complete delivereI
in the hour of death This thought
has been a source of comfort to high
and low, having been heard on the
lips of kings as we'll as on the lips of
peasants. Death, to the sordid, sci
fish, sinful soul, is the direst of al
calamities 1t is the blighting of all
hopes; the end Of all pleasures; the
interruption of unfulflled plans; the
darkest night without a star; the
dispellng of the fondest dreams; the
Judgment bar of God without the only
Mediator, Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, death to the
consecrated Christian soul is the
greatest the most glorious triumph. It
is but the beginning of real life; the
beautiful gate at the entrance tc
paradise; the haven of rest, the jewe'
of rarest promise; the fulfilling OF
life's greatest hopes; the happy re.
ali2ation of lifes fondest dreams; the
fellowship of the angels and the re
deemed of the ages; the crown of life
eternal and all the promised rewards
of the overcomer Well hath it beer
said, Good men but see death, the
wicked taste it"
o, friends, I want you allato look
at Christ. Look at Him as He sits
on the throne of the universe
crowned king of Kings and Lord Of
Lords!" Look at Him as He stands
at the right hand of God intercedine
on thy behalf! Look at Him in sim
pie faith and thy sins will he for
given, Look at Him amid all life's
troubles and thou shalt find a swee'
refuge. Look at Him when earth's
! scenes grow dim and deaths shad.
ows fall and He will omen the pear,y
gates of the Holy City and thou shalt
pass to thy coronation.
