BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

To stop boat on Niagara's crest.
TO stay the avalanche in its course,
TO check a nation in mid-career of its
folly. to halt a drunkard in the midst
OF his carousing, to preach repentance
TO Ninevah in the heyday of its PRIDE
ful wfckedness, to turn Israel to right
eousness and spirituality in the day of
Its religious arrogance and hardened
heart-all these attempts are of a
kind There is something sublimely
futile about the eager efforts of Jesus
on the last day of his appearance to
his nation. as he strove by picture and
story and appeal to call his beloved
nation to realization Of its fast-dis-
appearing day of opportunity.
The national aspect of the situa-
ton stirs a patriots heart. He is set
to wondering whether we. too. are
equally deaf to the words of our own
prophets. Is our land in peril of
spiritual blindness? May she, too.
miss her day of visitation? God gives
US listening ears for all our prophets
even when they come in a guise which
offends all our prejudices and miscon-
ceptions. Let us love our land SO fer
vently that we shall welcome the
truth about her from any source what
soever. Only by conserving our spir-
ttual sensitiveness. and by cherishing
our ethical and religious standards.
may we insure our nations truest
welfare.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea-
The Story-Sermon.
The particular last-day appeal
which the Sunday schools study today
portrays the kingdom-call to Israel
in the parable of the wedding feast.
1t is a sermon story. sketched in strong
lines. and leaving little of it's meaning
to the subtle Imagination. Everybody
could see the Jewish nation in the
guests who had spurned their oppor-
tunity; and the turning to the whole
Gentle world in the carrying of the
gracious invitation out into the high
ways.
Obviously. the first appeal of this
parable which strikes the reader is the
portrayal of the kingdom of heaven as
a feast. Somehow. that idea has new
er gripped humanity, even though it
was at a wedding that Jesus wrought
his first great work. The ascetic,
monastic, rigorous conception Of the
Christian life long held sway. Men
esteemed religion a thing of fasting,
rather than of feasting. 1t meant, in
their mistaken view, rather a sub
traction from the joys of life than an
addition to them. That Jesus came to
bring a more abundant life was an
overlooked truth.
A change is being witnessed in our
own day. A less sombre view of re-
lision prevails. A more social con-
ception of Christianity has driven out
much Of our rigid Puritanism. The
time hOnored injunctions against life's
pleasures are heard less and less. A

Look around. See the thousands of

Consider the men who turn their

that human nature is capable of re-

Still more to the point. and truer
to the parable, is the way the gracious
inv itations of God are rejected. There

The Disdainful Guest.
What of the man who went to the
Kings feast without a wedding gar

darkness? Is the King fastidious about
clothes? The entire point of this incl
