makes their existence possible and places
happiness within their reach. But this is
all in vain, for in spite of his frequent
use of the quotation man does not look
through nature up to natures Cod but
must be challenged at every turn by the
warning voice of the prophet or the
pleading of the preacher.
LIE. Us again hear ST. Paul, as he asks,
in Romans 1914, How shall they call on
Him in whom they have not believed
and how shall they believe in Him of
whom they have not heard? and how
shall they hear without a preacher?'
How. indeed?
1t has been the missionary-the herald
of the cross-who has been the great civ
ilizer of the nations. 1t has been the
prophet-preacher who has reused the DOR
mant souls of men to revolt against the
expressions of unjust Naw or the danger
of unrestrained vice. In every movement
toward larger liberty. in every effort to
relieve the poor. the very state itself has
looked to the preacher of righteousness
as the one who should arouse the public
conscience and point the way to better
things, and when the Son Of God per-
fected His plan for mans redemption He
left the propagation of that plan to the
preaching arm of His newly formed
church.
Two Scriptures are given US today
Scriptures which bear upon 1.-THE power of
preaching as do few others. The first
of these marks the clos ng of 1.-The Ser
mon on the Mount 4" 1t is the writer's
observation upon the astonishing power"
Of the Masters presentation of truth.
There has never been any sermon
preached since time began which SO thor
oughly set at naught the past conceptions
as to what constituted gOdliness.
Beginning with the "beatitudes." in
themselves absolutely new, this sermon
moves with an awful majesty from point
to point: revealing in startling clearness
the secret sins. the dangerous misconcep-
tons and the dread consequence awaiting
those who have the form. but lack the
power of godliness.''
Then having taught the secret Of
prayer. of Holiness and of tender and
forgiving love, this sermon closes with
the description of two builders; one of
whom built upon the sands and the other
upon the rock. The stormy blast be-
trays the unfitness of the sandy founda-
ton and the strength of the rock, and the
sermon is done.
1t is at the close of this greatest Of SER
mons that our first text is found, and in
it we find one of the secrets of prophetic
power; not only in the preaching of the
Master. but in all preaching.
The second Scripture is an account of

While the whole series OF lessons have
borne upon the distinct theme Of Christ s
life and sayings. each one Of them has
presented special truths calculated to
leave lasting Impressions upon the minds
of the pupils In the schools where the
international lessons are taught. What
particular teachings have impressed
themselves upon tho teachers and
scholars is for individual answer.
Some have found in one lesson what
has specially stirred their hearts, while
others have found in different lesson
that which most deeply impressed and
quickened their apprehension Of divine
truths. But all have found If they read
Alright. the story OF Christ's life and
teaching that their relations to the
thoughts presented are personal.
The invitation Is personal. the service
Is personal. the hope OF eternal life Is
personal The relations Of each .one to
Christ must be purely personal and in
dependent of all others.
The personal relation of Judas, the
traitor, did not affect the personal rela-
