petition to His Father for wisdom and
Understanding, so that when He came
as a teacher, licensed by the law of
His race He spake as never man
spake. because he had made supreme
preparation to do a splendid thing.
Americans Too Much In Hurry
The trouble with us is here in this
American rush life of ours we want
in a week or two to he trained to
live all our lives, and we chafe un-
der the delays of preparation.
we want to get into the game,
and half of us come in so raw
and green and useless that we fail to
do anything worth recording. If you
want to be a teacher in the Sun
day school, If YOU want to he a
teacher anywhere, If you want to be
business man or a good mother or
any other supreme worthy thing in
this world, let me entreat of you in
1.-The name of the example of the Christ
of the world, prepare to do that thing
we'll There is also this thought--if
| there is power in ones preparation to
serve, power in ones presentation of
the truth, surely there is power in the
personality of the teacher. The great
Christ was so gentle that men did
not at first know His splendid
strength. He was so kind that men
scarcely understood how firm He was.
There was something in His person
ality that made people love Him.
The purpose in mans life saves
him in the trials and tribulations of
life, and steadies him to do, just as
the purpose of the Christ steadied
Him to do the righteous thing to the
very last It is all a matter of put
ting yourself wholly into His divine
care and under his splendid teaching.
"Makc Religion Supreme Force
May we somehow or other as a

and our presentation and our person

rective force of all the citizenship of
this great Commonwealth of ours"
