OF mature minds. Few of us ever
rise above consideration of the near

currents of life.
When we view things in the large.
1t becomes clear that the general trend
OF our times is towards idealism.

ment a century ago. Our vast plans
for baby-saving and for hygienic liv-
ing are creations of our own day.
Prison reform is scarcely more
than a century old, though the pres
ent conception Of prison reform is a
world ahead of that which Dickens
knew. The general diffusion of in
telligence within a century has been
colossal achievement
1t Vs only a matter of decades
since temperance has made such
progress as the most prophetic re-
former of fifty years ago could not
foresee or anticipate. The social
evil has been boldly challenged, and
is being sagaciously fought in our
day. Politics is being put upon a
new basis. Medical science is coming
to be a social service. The thinking
of the whole world Is growing demo-
cratic.
Simply stupendous is the progress
which our eyes have seen In the adS
vance of human welfare. A long.
clear look at this should steady our
thinking and stop our hysteria.
Great tasks remain, but that they
may be accomplished is proved by
what has already been done. The
seemingly new principle which is
dominant in the world to-day is moth
ing else than the kingdom idea taught
by Jesus nineteen centuries ago.
"Pale Galiiean, Thou Hast Conquered"
The cry of Julian the Apostate may
be echoed in our own day The social
conquests of our era all follow at the
chariot WHEEL of Christ, and are part
of His triumph. He is the victor In
the twentieth century. The immeas-
urable ferment of this generation Is
traceably due to the kingdom leayen,
which Jesus implanted in the lump
of society in the days of His flesh

corded through these final utter
ances of Jesus the idea that the Son
of Man is come to seek and to save
that which is lost" That is the
greatest revelation about God. It is
one unique trait of Christianity.
Other religions represent man as
seeking God. Christ revealed God
as seeking man. The yearning Father
heart, as represented in the Son who
went the limit to show Gods love-
looms large in these lessons. The key
of all our recent studies is this picture
of the patient. self spending Son Of
God seeking, seeking, seeking.

What an evidence of the patience Of
God, that He should wait so long for
SO much of victory.
For the past three months the
Sunday Schools of the world have
been studying Jesus in His teachings.
Through the record runs a clear note
of opposition. His ideas seemed so
| radical as to be futile The spectacle
| appeared like pathetic waste of
| great mind and a great mission; for
the shadow of the cross fell athwart
these latter days of Jesus.
NOW, In amaze, we behold the
which His day f1outed. Nowhere else
but in the teachings of Christ did
this new spirit of love and mercy
and Justice take it's rise. We are to-
| day reaping the fruits of His SOW
ing. His kingdom is so palpably
| triumphing that we may echo Julian's
cry, 20, Pale Galilean, Thou hast con-
quered!"
Three Months of Wisdom Words
| A period of about three months in
the life of Jesus is covered by the
quarters lessons. The scene of all
is laid in Perea. Steadfastly the
face of Jesus was turned toward
Jerusalem. He was near the end of
His life.

courses. There were attendant in
