mysterious utterances of his whole
ministry. We have not time nor space
to dwell on these, important and sol
emn as they are, but feel led to turn
attention to another thought. Instead
of considering the effect of this in
quiry upon Jesus, let us consider its
source in the aspiration of those
Greeks as the same aspiration arises
In our own hearts.
When Our Souls Are Burdened.
t1) We would see Jesus when our
souls are burdened with q sense of
guilt. What other name can bring us
peace, and what other presence can in
spire hope, "for he hath made him to
be sin for us. Who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteous.
ness of God in him." 1t Is not teach
er, nor an, example, nor a ruler that
we need so much as Savior and Re-
deemer, an intercessor and a daysman,
and that is what Jesus is for every
one of us. who puts his trust In him.
He can remove our disability before
God and release us from our fears and
reconcile us to him.
(2) We would see Jesus when we
are engaged in his holy worship. An
other draws an impressive picture of
the blind, the halt, the weary that
roamed the streets of Jerusalem where
Jesus stood comparatively unknown,
and he contrasts their unhappy and
destitute condition with its magnifi-
cence, it's boosted righteousness and
outward Observances Of devotion. And
he employs this contrast to illustrate
the worthlessness of the holiest Of re-
ligions without Christ. For example,
Of what benefit is the church, the Sun
day school, the family altar, the holy
sacraments IL Jesus be not In them
every one? jealousy therefore should
we watch against the spirit of formal
ism and ceremonialism that creeps into
both our private and public worship.
Jesus must be there or these things
become hollow mockery.
(3) We would see Jesus in the de-
tails Of our daily life as the Lord of
our affections, Purposes and pleasures.
What are the charms of friendship I'M
less sanctified by the thought of him?
Our prosperity becomes a curse with
out him, and in our sorrow and af-
Fiction he is, the one who alone can
comfort us in all our tribulation. Life
without him Is the river bed without
its stream and the day without the
sun.
When In the Valley OF the Shadow.
(4) We would see Jesus in death.
That is sad story which Severn tells
Of the last moments Of the poet, Keats.
Shelley and Hunt had deprived him of
his belief in Christianity which he
wanted in the end, and he endeavored
to fight back to 1t, saying If Severn

thought he could believe. But copy
Of Jeremy Taylor was not to be found
in Rome. Another time having been

this pitiable wall and the triumphant

The War Map Fallacy

Germany fixes its eyes on tie war
map and boasts of what has been at
tanned in the East and what will be
completed in the West" If this war
were to be decided by lines drawn upon
Il map, there would be some ground,
for German boasts and German cont
dcnce. The great power OF Russia has
been temporarily broken, Rumania has
been crushed. Serbia and Belgium nave
been overrun, the Italian army in spite
Of It's recent successes, stands far he
hind the line it once occuped,s and on
the Western front all fluctuations of
fortune leave the enemy substantially
where ne was nearly four years aco.
That, however, is neither the whole
story nor the conception Of the
strategy OF the war. No colony in the
world flies the German flag; the German
foothold IN China has been torn away;
her dream Of Bagdad has dI appeared
in the advance of our forces in Meso-
potanlia; no ship displays the German
has on the high seas. The silent press

Up to noon to-day the Canadians

The enemy always has done the

Australian units have been cooperst-

north and south portals of the tunnel
through which the st. Quentin Canal
runs the fighting has been especially

Americans passed over The canal
Thousands Of Germans poured into the
struggle and have been heavily en-.
gagged.
The st. Quentin Canal tunnel runs
FOR more than five kilometres under Il
mountain. The canal was held by large
numbers of Germans. who were on
board electrically lighted bargcs.
There are wide towpaths and galleries
leading off from each side Of the canal.
and in them the entire garrison had
quarters. This section is probably one
OF the strongest parts of the entire
Hindenburs system, and the Americans
have found it to be literally lined with
tunnels, dugouts and galleries. which
require great deal OF mopping up.
Large numbers Of Germans have been
killed, but before they were silenced
the enemy masses worked their ma
chine guns with the greatest vigor
When the Americans swept past the
southern end of the tunnel the Ger
mans remained in hiding until the
Americans got a little way past and
then they plunged into the fight. They
were engaged first by the Americans
and then by the Australians. The tun-
mel mouth was chokcd with dead. This
action began late last evening and con-
tinucd until o'clock this morning
with undated intensity
American units are now holding
