"All power is given unto me-"
LAS the Father hath sent me, ever
so send l you"
The miracles of the old testament
n of the new pale n insignificance
when compared with the modern mi
racle of n redeemed soul
Revivals OF religion sweeping over
entire communities. causing men To
forget lifelong feuds, to love their
enemies. to bless those who cursed
them. to pay their debts. to get their
estranged families together, to think
purely and to act c-ourageously In
every righteous cause, are moro won
derful than feeding five thousand men
and women or healing a blind man.
A resurrected soul is far moro mar
velous a thing than Il resurrected
body. The body viii die again, but
he sou lives on forever.
To reduce death rates among the
masses so tina millions OF years of
life are saved In every generation is
more to be desired than saving a sing
lie life here and there through the
working OF a miracle.
When Jesus left his disciples he said
TO them: The works that l do shall
We do also and greater works than
these shall 20 do"
What these greater works are may
refer TO many things. But when Jesus
spoke these words he was thinking
specifically of his miracles.
He had said very plainly that his
power came from the Father.
Philip. enc OF his disciples. had
said 10 htns
Lord. show US the Father and ii
suficesh u.s.
And Jesus replied:
Have I been 50 long time with you,
Yet has. thou not known me, Phil
fpf He that hath Q e me hath seen
the Father and how sayest thou then,
Shsw US the Father?
"Believsst thou that I am in the
Father. and the Father in me? The
words that I speak unto you. I speak
OF myself; but the Father that
in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me; or else
me for the very works sake.
verify, verify, 1 say unto YOU, He
that believeth on me, the works that l
do shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because I go
unto my Father"
The source of all power is God-ac-
cording to Jesus own words. 1t was
from God thai he himself received
power. 1t was because God dwelt in
him that he could heal the sick and
raise the dead.
And it is the measure of Gods in
that determines the owe
that we shall have.
There ear be no question as to the
power of God. 1t Is simply a ques
ton as to how much we are ready and
willing to be emptied of self so that
God may dwell in Us and take posses
sion of us.
Jesus "humbled himself'-he took
upon himself the form of a servant"
he made himself of no reputation"
he became obedient unto death, even
the death of the cross"
And here was the result. as 1t is
recorded in Philippians:
Wherefore God also hath highly
exalted him, and given him a name
which is above Every name:
THAT at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow. of things in heaven,
and things in earth. and things un-
der the earth:
And tina everv tongue should con-
fess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father" 3
And greater works than these shall
We do" said Jesus.
"As the Father hath sent me, wen
send I you"
In a sense therefore. we too may be-
come "Christs''-saviours of men.

THE BOARD OF TRADE

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Our Board of Trade needs no conn
mendation from me, and yet / feel
constrained to a word Of the
value of such an organization in a
city like our own. With every phase
of business life on every hand, to-
gether with the varied manufacturing
interests, with different races and
different classes in our citizenship,
there is greater need than in the or
binary American community for a
central organization, one in which all
may meet on common ground for the
discussion of common problems, and
one through which all may cooperate
to secure a better city from every
point of view.
Yours truly,
