A CHRISTIE DYNAMO

No sermon in Doctor Sturgis' pres
ent series of Lenton sermons has been
more lncislve and Illuminating on the
problem Of ones individual respon-
sibility than his message on The Up-
building of the Marginal Lifc"-with-
out which he does not conceive life
as possible in the high manner and
on the great scale-and by which
many, not only Of those who are seek
ing light and leading. but even those
who are familiar with the mair points
OF his argument, may learn much that
is valuable.
The need for a greater develop
ment of the marginal life" as in
Nolved in the Doctors ideal, is set
forth very largely from the vicwuoint
of the spiritual. IF we would be eff
hcient in our service toward the up
building of the kingdom. such life
cannot be exercised 'willy-nily' by
the select few, but must be the dynam-
ic back OF the entire body Christie, un-
less degeneration is to set in
We could wish more space might
have Deen given along this line of the
doctors argument, but there is "A note
of wholesome religious sentiment
about the entire message that has a
universal appeal which lifts it out
of the class of lurid sensationaiism
ON whose brink many a modern SER
mon seems to he tottering, and to

he even gained the first crevice en-

unable to force his way inside. With
each upward rush he made waves Of
fear surged over us. At first at such
times most of us dashed inside. but
some remained outside TO hammer him

He was beaten, and he knew it. Re

solemnly from under the rain of stones.
He stopped in the middle of the open

sight Of him <tarted US to laughing.
We laughed derisively and uproarious-

mockery. TO be laughed at makes
them angry. And in such fashion our
laughter affected Saber Tooth. He
turned with a roar and charged the
bluff again. This was what we want

him.
