Life and Immortality.

The coming of Christ has brought to
the world the knowledge of life and i'm
mortality.
Paul in his letter to Timothy QI Tim,
40 said that salvation sis now made
manifest by the appearing of our Savior,
Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death
and hath brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel
Herein is a wondrous thing that Christ
has done. BY Him the king of terrors
death is abolished. In taking away sin
He has destroyed the power of death,
for 1.-THE sting of death is SIM
The great enemy has become a friend.
and is the means by which We pass from
sin and sorrow to purity and peace.
lever can triumphantly exclaim, 20
death. where is thy sting! o grave,
where is thy victory!"
In the adjustment Of death life and
Immortality are brought to light. If there
is no death, then there is life for ever
more.
While there is what we call death in
the decomposition of the body, the teach
ings of Christ present only the gospel OF
life and Immortality. The ringing cry
of the gospel is. why will We die?"
There is no necessity for 1t.
Life and immortality are not only
brought to light. made known. but are
freely offered to all who will accept.
And what is Immortality?
We can have but a faint conception of
the immortal life that Christ has made
known In His gospel. Some one has sug-
gested, in illustration, this thought:
Suppose the Creator were to commits
sion some tiny insect to remove the
matter of this globe to the most distant
star in immensely. 1t can carry for a
load only an atom so small as to be i'm
perceptible to the eye. Millions of years
are required for the performance of sin
gle journey. 1t commences its task upon
the leaf of delicate plant. With its in
visible load it departs, deposits, and
after millions Of years returns for a sec
ond atom. What numberless ages would
pass before that single leaf would be car
ried away! What untold periods before
the whole plant would be gone! What
vast cycles would elapse before tree. a
forest, a mountain would disappear! The
strongest imagination staggers at the
thought Of the ages which would pass
ere the last particle of the globe would
be removed Yet even then your imper-
ishable spirit would be in the infancy OF
| its existence"

For or Against Him.

Service is the proof Of faith. If man
is doing Christ's work and i'm His name.
even if he does not follow our eccelestias-
teal system. we should consider him as
one of His. servants. Jesus taught a
unity of effort in a diversity Of method
when He said: HE that is not against
you is for you The principles Of Christ
are permanent, but their application will
differ with the changes in civilization.
customs and countries. Christ is seeking
results. not methods. The way that the
Prince of Peace would introduce His
kingdom is by spiritual strength. not the
force of war. This was illustrated when
the time drew near for His assumption
OF the authority and power I'm heaven
and on earth. He steadfastly set His
face toward Jerusalem" He had seen
the vision of the crown upon the noun
tain top and He sought eagerly then To
attain ii through the sorrows, suherines
and shame of Gethsemane, Golgotha and
the grave. While passing through
Samaria, the section where He first re-
vealed himself as the Messiah. the people
refused to welcome Him. He knew II was

his is the Dest way 10 conquer our tlc-
mics today. Love masters all
The unwillingness OF men to adopt the
program of Christ was illustrated by
three men that Jesus sought to win on
the way to Jerusalem. The Master
strained the impulsive one, who had not
counted the cost by showing his own
loneliness and lack. The procrastinator
who suggested that he must wait until
his fathers funeral was simply offering
an excuse, as George Adams Smith
found a few years ago. when he wished
to secure the. services OF young man.
who made the same excuse, that his
father was quite well and the funeral
would be long way off. Jesus understood
his refusal and the young man realized
that Christ meant that for him. as IL -
for u.s. now is the accepted time to serve
Him when He needs and seeks helpers in
the vineyard We have no right TO allow
our obligations to our families to inter-
fere with our duty to publish the gospel
of the incarnation that reveals the grace
and glory of God, that He wishes to be-
stow on all men.
The third plea was the precedence or
social engagements and obligations. Jesus
will not accept that as a valid excuse.
The claims of Christ are supreme. He
secures more followers from those who
count the cost than He does from those
who plead excuse of obligations to friends
and family. Most of the last two Of
fered today are false. Let us realize the
Christmas gift that God gave US in HIS
only begotten Son and give to Him with
out reserve our life either for sacrifice or
service. -

knowing and being known as kings and
priests unto God, in the life that shall
endless be!
Shall We not in this thought value more
and more that gospel that has brought
life and immortality to light; and have a
fuller realisation of the great things the
coming or Christ has done for the world
No More War.
In considering what Christ has done for
the world we have noted briefly that He
brought redemption and made God visible
to men. and established brotherhood
among men. Many volumes could not
tell the story of what Christ has done by
His mission to earth. nor can it be fully
told what His advent is yet to accom-
plish for the world.
This. however. We know, on the author
ity of Gods word. that He shall reign
over and establish peace among all ma
tons of the earth.
Isaiah. In his prophecies concerning the
coming Of Christ's kingdom. said:
1t shall come to pass in the last days.
that the mountain of the Lords house
shall be established in the topf of the
mountains. and shall be exalted above
the hills: and all nations shall flow into
1t. And He Christi shall judge
among the nations, and shall rgbuke many
people, and they shall beat Eheir swords
into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up
sword against nation. neither shall they
learn war any more"
A G orious day is cominE for this strife
ridden world Of ours, which avarice, am
billion, envy, anger, pride and all the
lusts of revenge and conquest shall have
passed away, under the benign reign of
the Prince Of Peace.
Happy the day. said Sturgeon.
when every war horse shall be houghed,
when every spear shall become pruning
hook and every sword shall be made to
till the soil. which once it stained with
blood.
This will be the last triumph of
Christ.
Before death itself shall be dead.
deaths great jackal, war. must die also;
and then shall there be peace on earth.
and the angel shall say, have gone
up and down through the earth. and the
earth stitch still and is at rest: I heard
no tumult of war nor noise of battle"
There is no uncertainty about the final
triumph of Christ nor Of what 1T means
to the world. The prophets of God have
given clear and distinct the message that
all the worlds powers shall in due time
surrender to the sway Of the all-con-
quering scepter Of the once lowly Naza-
rene.

Ye Are Brethren.

The great truth of the brotherhood of
man is given strong emphasis in all the
teachings Of Christ. What Christ has
done for the world in impressing the
obligation of love and service of one to
another is one of the transcendent
achievements of His coming among men.
"All We are brethren" These words of
the Master have a deeper and more far
reaching significance than even the
church as a whole has comprehended. But
in these late days the spirit Of unity and
fellowship is finding more enlarged ex-
preston. The thought of universal broth
erhood is more and more in the minds
of men. and this thought is Strengthening
the movement for universal peace. God
speed the day when there shall be no
more wars.
The teaching and example OF Christ
taught that the idea Of brotherhood was
not limited to any class or condition OF
men. but that it included all men. He
did not count it as praiseworthy viz
tue, to simply love them who loved US.
His injunction is to do good unto all
men. He condemned the worlds maxim,
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate
thine enemy" In opposition to that idea
He declared 1t to be the duty OF all MS
disciples to love their enemies. CMatt.
5: A. 45)

bless them that curse you. do good to
them that hate you. and pray for them
which despitefully use you. and perse-

your Father which is in heaven; Tor he
maketh His sun to rise on the evil ano

Christ redeems are called the ransomed OF
