Aaron, or after the law of carnal
commandment. ChriSt's pricstiy work
was not completed when lie offered
Himself as sacrifice for sin upon
the cross. His intercessory work for
us Is continued In heaven. 1t is go
Ing on now. Tho Auronic priesthood
was earthly, temporary and imper-
feet 1t came to an end Not so the
priesthood of Christ. He Is Il priest
forever, after the power of an end
less life.
In Christ there Is neither changing
nor aging INCREASINGLY His work
continues for us within the veil
whittier He has gone. "IIe ever liv-
eth to make intcrcesSion for us" In
the power of His resurrection life
Christ continues to intercede and to
work for us, in our behalf, and also
within us.
Salvation Not Separate From tho
Savior.
Salvation is not an outward, oOjec-
tive thing or possession. Eternal life
Is ours only because Christ Is living
savior. He made atonement for our
sins and Is now seated at the right
hpnd Of God as our high priest,
but He also abides within us in the
person and the power Of the Holy
Spirit. Only thus can He meet our
needs, only thus can we know the
life more abundant the life that is
strong and victorious.
Through Christ we too may live
resurrected life life that is as end
less as His. This implies, for us, tu-
ture and endless development. We
can never attain unto intinity but we
can always be moving towards il.
For those who are in Christ q life Is
In store that Is hJnitless In Its unfold
Ing possibilities. Y" r2. 81
That uncircumscribed life win have
unlimited possibilities Of knowledge.
In this life our knowledge is limited
upon every side Over yonder we
shall know as we are known, and
natural and physical barriers will all
be removed. Present knowledge will
be added to indefinitely and bound
lessiy
Every quality and capacity Of the
soul Is capable Of measureless devel-
opment. The endless life will afford
the opportunity. We carry with us
beyond the grave only memory, char
acter and capacity. Gifts that have
lain dormant here will be freed
there. Opportunities that have been
denied us here will be granted us
there. Ample scope in the heavenly
sphere for every heaven-born longing
or ambitionl
No present life seems complete.
Think. too, Of all the inequalities, Of
all the hedged-in lives, of all Of those
just beginning and suddenly cut off.
Their chance is wholly In the future.
If right with God and Christ here
they will have abundant opportunity
in the life to come. God Is a just
God. There will be great evening
up In the next life.
A young woman who was giving
abundantly Of her means, her time
and her strength to help n little mis-
sion church, was demonstrated with.
She replied: at is my investment.
My brother Is n business man; works
day and night Every cent goes into
his business. He thinks. eats, and
sleeps business. Why? He says that

The Present Life Resembles a Studio.
The present life has been iikened
. to studio, with its artists materials,
disorder perhaps. unfinished work,
mere suggestions Of the finished prod
uct. We must visit the picture gal
lery to renlly Judge the artist. Peo.
pie sometimes impaticntly judge God
by His unfinished specimens OF re-
demption which they see here. Wait
and visit the heavenly gallery, where
beautifying processes will have abun-
dant time to come to perfection.
1t pays to do the right to live nobly,
to suffer wrongfully, to endure hard
ship. It would pay II there were no
future LIE. But there Is. and we are
encouraged to keep 1t in view and to
live In Its light.
FIJI UP each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they go;
The life above. when this is past,
Is the ripe fruit Of life below.
Jesus Christ was crucified In weak.
ness. was buried, but was raised In
the power Of IN endless life. All who
know Him and the power Of His resur-
rection must also know the fellowehIp
of His gatherings. We must walk the
path He walked until we too are no.
