stood better than we occidental city
dwellers can possibly do, the signifi-
canoe of the symbolism of the vine.
The oriental love of imagery led Je-
sus to put His great and mystical
teaching into the form of a familiar
figure of speech, which should be
eternally understandable. 4f.tt
Lying on the surface of the meta

divine, and the very Life of God, but
that He is also the source of life for

our gardens are at this season of the
great teaching! Hidden beneath all
observation, its nature really as
much a mystery as when the first
plant fruited in the Garden of Eden,
life for the vine comes from the un-
seen depths of the roots.
What of Our New Times?
A few days ago magazine edltor
asked me to write an article upon
President Wilson's immortal address
in the United States Senate as "A
New Magma Charta for Humanity.
His thought is that this great utter
ance expressed the best thought of
the whole world to-day, and that the
principles therein laid down have
been accepted by ChriStendom as the
new laws for the governance of socl-
ETY.. Like every other alert person,
that editor knows that the world to-
day is in process of reconstruction,
in things fundamental, as well as in
outward seeming. And the most
wonderful thing about the world
stirring address of President Wilson
is that, after ALL it Is but a modern
lied expression of the ideals taught
by Jesus, and set forth, in some fash
ion, in every pulpit in Christendom.
If Woodrow Wilson were not son OF
the manse, the inheritor of Chris
tian traditions and teachings, and
! himself student and disciple of Je-
sus, he never could have framed so
sublimely this magnificent Christian
utterance. He himself said long ago,
when he was active in Sunday school
work, 1.-THE Sunday school lesson OF
| to-day is the code of morals OF to-
morrow" Now he has illustrated his
own utterance.
| Out of the fog and smoke of this
world war have emerged in new
clearness and sanctity the principles
of Jesus as the only workable law OF
life. Christendom accepts as logi-
cal and proper program the newly
sacred ideals of justice and liberty
and brotherhood. We all of us per-
ceive that, in new solidarity and
unity, mankind must live together
| in peace and righteousness. MIR
Lloyd Georges declaration that this
is the worlds final war, expressed
the slowly matured conviction oi
civilization. A better way of running
the world must be found-nay, II
being found. All persons who think
are clear about the new program
for society; but what about the
power?
All, there is the crux of the worlds
| greatest problem. Only new power
can accomplish the wonders we
dream and desire. The far-breatheC
hopes and prayers of heart-broker
| humanity all wait upon this; some
new motive and spirit underlying al
| the deeds of men that will give u:
| the reality of day of true democ'
racy and brotherhood. The answer

To the mind of the flesh this majes-
tic passage OF mysticism, which has
been assigned as the Sunday school
lesson for to-day, is entirely mean
ingleSs, a tumble of strange, figures.
Yet to millions upon millions of per-
sons now alive, as to thousands OF
millions who throughout the CEN
turies have entered into understand
ing of still greater mysteries these
words of Jesus are of the very mar
row of life. They represent that
which is more real than this solid
ball of earth, more personal and
precious than father or mother, hus-
band or wife, son or brother.
CLOSER is He than breathing, nearer
than hands or feet"
Life From the Root Up
Well-thumbed in the Bible of
every Christian, these words, which
were spoken by Jesus to His little
company of intimates on the night
before He died, are to be read rather
than discussed. They make their own
appeals to all who have eyes in their
spirits. So l quote the Lesson en-
tire:
II am the true vine, and my
Father is the husbandman. Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit,
he taketh it away; and every branch
that it may bear more fruit Already
are We clean because of the word
which 1 have spoken unto you. Abide
in me, and / in you. AS the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it
abide in the vine; so neither can ye.
except ye abide in me. L am the
vine, We are the branches; He that
abideth in me, and L in him, the
same beareth much fruit; for apart
from me ye can do nothing. If a
man abide not in me, he is cast forth
as a branch and is withered; and
they gather them, and cast them in
to the fire, and they are burned. If
ye abide in me, and my words abide
in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and
it shall be done unto you. Herein
is my Father glorified, that ye bear
much fruit; so shall ye be my disci-
pies. Even as the Father hath loved
me, l also have loved you; abide in
my love. If ye keep my command
ments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as 1 have kept my Fathers S
commandments, and abide in his
love. These things have L spoken un-
to you, that my Joy may be in you
and that your joy may be made full.
This is my commandment, that we
love one another, even as l have
loved you. Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends. .Ye are my
friends, if ye do the things which
command you. No longer do L call
you servants; for the servant know
eth not what his lord doeth; but
have called you friends for all things
that 1 heard from my Father 1 have
made known unto YOU"

LIFE LIVED TO THE LIMIT

13 Is Jesus the True Vne."- John 15:1-16
BY WILLIAM II. ELLIS

Her face had been ruined by cos
metics and her disposition by Gym
icism. Her cigaret and her sophis-
tication, and her blase spirit, which
showed more wrinkles even than her
face aroused no sentiment more
keen than pity; for she was a society
woman who had lived to taste the
ashes in all the cups of pleasure that
she had put to her lips. World-wear-
mess had embittered her. AS l lis
tened to this poor woman q believe
she was wealthy uttering her unbe-
lief in the reality of romantic love
and of the happy married lives and
of the simplicity of domestic joys,
which she called the tigmentS of lit
erary imagination, | confess that
was more interested in her state of
mind than in her contentious. For
the poor creature, in long life spent
in search of pleasure, had succeeded
only in envenoming her own soul and
in atrophying her capacity to per-
ceive the true al the beautiful and
the good. Now, in the eventide of life
when she should have been enjoying
the souls sunset serenity, her acrid
spirit was denying the reality of
those things which alone make life
livable.
That woman was an uncommonly
clear eNdIlplt Ol Tie liuNb that
is a plane of experience far beyond
the knowledge of many. Spiritual
truth and spiritual qualities are only
empty words to them. Material
things-clothes cabarets, theaters
food and frolic-are the limit of
their understanding. Such are the
multitudes who hope to extract
sweetness from the dry orange of
Broadway. Nothing that cannot be felt
and handled means much to them.
For their happiness they are depend
end upon things, and not upon inner
experience. Poor, deluded creatures,
they miss the prizes of life.
The Unheard Song
Ny friend the naturalist told a
story the other evening which, all
unmeant by him, illustrated the
plight of the carnally- minded people
of the world. He had one morning
come upon a water thrush, at its
hour of song. THE music was like
q stream of gold, ripping in the sun
light. 1 cannot tell you how beauti-
full it was words are not equal to
the occasion. AS l listened, the notes
seemed to break up into the most
wonderful golden spray-and then
the song passed beyond me. The
notes were too high for human ear
to catch. 1 could see the birds little
throat swelling but l could not hear
a sound. AS you know, there are
Asome notes of sound that are beyond
9the range of mortal hearing. l could
only look and marvel; and muse that,
if such was the heard music, what
must that have been which was be-
yond my comprehension"
Thus it is with things spiritual,
which must be spiritually discerned

They had heard much of the anti-wa
