Christian Principles.

To summarize. Ne lind thai Christian
t.ndeaVor stands for Spirituality of mind,
for purity in the home and social lie. for
honesty in the daily HE. tor loyalty in
the church life, for patriotism in national
lie. aud ior fellowship and brotherhood
with an mankind.
These are great principles, and when
maintained IL the individual lie they make
the highest type Of MANHOOD and woman
mood. ana when practiccd by the people
generally they insure the best form OF
municipal ANA national government.

by starting from a point indicated by the
woman's own actions. Moreover il cap
turcd the Woman's friendship ut once.
Jesus first words had this result he
cause it is u law of human nature that
when one person asks another to render
him some slight favor. the two no longer
feel like strangers.
In the second place. Christ's request
piqued the woman's curiosity. Il not
only tended to make her friendly, but 10
interest her. as we'll
How Is it that thou, being a Jew,
askctll drink Of me? For the Jews have
10 dealings with the Sama ritans."
Jesus tells her that if she had asked
Him, He could lave given her living
water. This answer turns the woman 5
curiosity to mystitication. She desires to
know how He could draw water. seeing
that the well is deep. Art Thou greater
than our father jacob, which gave us the
well?
Christ's reply. that whatsoever drink
eth of the water that [ shall give him
shall never thirst further changes her
Justification to desire. Sir, give me this
water
Then Jesus BIDS her to call her kus-
band, and receives the answer that she
has none. He is given the opportunity in
natural order to tell her of her family
relations. This bit of intimate revela-
ton brings her to realize finally that she
is talking with prophet.
And is established the groundW DIRK
OF belief for His statements of spiritual
truths AS these sink in upon her in all
their beauty and Significance. She Is re-
minded Of the prophecies. and cries: Il
know that Mcss!as cometh. which is call
ed Christ; when He is come. He will tell
us all things"
Jesus saith unto her, that speak
unto thee am He.
Not until the final sentence is His
identity fully revealed. Had He an
nounced himself at the opening OF the
conversation. the woman would have
laughed at Him: as it was, she accepted
the statement in absolute belief, and
proclaimed Him as the Christ to all the
city.
The Bible contains no better study than
this of the workings of the human mind.
In ridentally. Jesus opening remark
"Give me to drink. teaches us another
lesson. Jesus was not above asking those
about II m for help and favors. So also.
