that he lay down his life for his enc
mics. Greater love hath no man than
this, that he lay down his life for his
friend. But who ever heard of man
voluntarily giving up his life for his
enemies. He was the greatest lover OF
God and of man that ever lived.
Had He been anything less than all
of these, He could not nave been the re-
deemer Of the world. So when He offers
Himself to you as your Saviour, you
can afford to trust Him to do what He
has promised, because His life is the
great answer to any objection that might
be raised to it.
THE LIFE SUBMISSION.
The other great answer to any cynie's
objection to Christianity is found In the
life of the man or woman, boy or girl,
VINO is willing to prove the statement
of Jesus in his own life. The fact that
what Jesus said and taught is true can
be proven with absolute scientific pre-
cision In the realm of science when
we desire to prove any theory we obey
the laws and test by experiment the
truth or falsity Of the working nypoth-
esis. Now, for instance, If We desire to
learn the physical properties of any
chemical substance we obey the laws of
chemistry. By experiment we test this
substance and prove or disprove the
theory which has been made concerning
it. SO with electricity, we obey the laws
of electricity and prove or disprove the
claims of it's power. Thus we must do
with Christianity, and Jesus Himself
has invited us to enter into such an eX-
pertinent To those men who were
doubling His claims He put to them
this proposition, that If any man willeth
to do His will he shall know Of the doc
trine. There is no man Or woman, boy
or girl in all the world who cannot
make this experimental test. He must
obey the laws of God, he must put God
to the test with the same accuracy, with
the same submission to the laws of God
that the scientist does in testing any
scientific theory. And there is no man
in all the world who has ever made
such a test who has not found in his
own experience that every claim that
Jesus Christ made is absolutely true.
If you are at all inclined to doubt
the ability of Jesus to save you and to
keep you and sweeten your life and give
you power over present sin, I~invite you
to test Him in the laboratory of Chris
tan experience; and / guarantee that
you will find that He will do all that
He claims to do, and that He will make
of your life much that you did not even
dream of now, and it will be fuller and
richer and deeper and sweeter than you
have ever imagined. VIII you enter the
laboratory? You cannot close the year
better you cannot begin the new one in
a more satisfactory manner than by do
ing this. Will you?

The two great apologetics for the
Christian religion are the life of Jesus
Christ Himself. and the life of the man
who seeks TO do His will, who is obedi-
ent to Him. All the arguments that
have ever been brought forward
against Christianity fall to the ground
when placed over against these great
apologetics.
Since we have been studying, during
the past year, the life of Jesus, 1T
might be interesting to us to call at
tention to some of the things in His
life which we have learned, which make
il the great argument in favor of the
truth of Christianity.
THE LIFE OF JESUS.
The circumstances surrounding His
birth make His life different from that
of any other mans, and make us ready
to believe, and prepare us for some
thing unusual in this man. 1t is hardly
necessary for one at this time to recall
these circumstances; and yet by way OF
remembrance think of the announce
ment to Mary, the circumstances con-
nected with the birth of John the Bap-
fist; the visit of Mary to Elizabeth;
the crowded inn; the child in the man
ger; the visit OF the shepherds, and the
story of their vision; the presentation in
the temple, and the songs or Anna ana
Simeon; the visit of the wise men;
the slaughter of the innocents; the
flight into Egypt Had He been born
in these days of Geographic connection
these unusual circumstances would have
been flashed over the world as most
startling news stories.
His visit to the temple as a boy of
twelve years was unusual, and showed
Him to be a boy of unusual depth of
thought and feeling. Then eighteen
years later His baptism, His tempta-
ton in the wilderness and His suisse
auent ministry (most of that which we
have studied through the past year was
in Galilee, we find that He was most
unusual man. He made claims which
In any other man would have been ex-
travagant and blasphemous; but that
they were neither was proven by the
facts of His life. Summing it all up we
must admit that he was the greatest
Healer that the world has ever known.
No one was ever brought to Him, no
matter what the disease, and sent away
without being wholly cured. He was
the greatest Teacher that the world
has ever known; His enemies admitted
He said of Himself, that He always did
the things that pleased God, and God
gave testimony to the truth of His
statement, both at the beginning OF
His ministry and toward the close, in
these words: "This is my beloved Son,
i'm whom 1 am we'll pleased" That He
was the greatest lover of man that the
world has ever known was by the fact

LOW GRADE RIGHT OF WAY
OVER TEHACHAPI MTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-The
Southern Pacific has finally acquired
the last right of way for a low grade
line over the Tehachapi mountains be-
tween Mojave and Kern City, accord
ing to a morning paper. The line,
which will begin at once, calls for an
expenditure of $1O,000,0OO. The United
States supreme courts recent decision
dissolving the merger Of the Southern
and Union Pacific roads, is indirectly
responsible, according to the newspaper,
for the building of the new lines. Con-
struction of the low grade track is ex-
pected to bring about a vigorous fight
between the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe for
transcontinental business. At present
these lines have joint use of the only
track over the Tehachapi mountain. The
Southern Pacific owns this track, a
high grade line, and for several years
it had planned to double it. That pur-
pose has been abandoned in favor of
the low grade project.

it as the most important victory that
