happy year. you must live happy
life" he declared. You can't feel
that life is here merely TO drag
through and expect to enjoy 1t. Do

things In your everyday life. The
JOY Of life Is in living, not merely

and you will get your reward. When
you feel tired and weary and exceed

things. remember that David daily
tended his sheep and was rewarded
The joy and energy and vigor you put
into life will come back to you. And
it's we'll worth while. You must re-
member all through this new year
that God is with you in tho doing of
your daily tasks and that the life.

Less science. less philosophy In

the church.

preached last night on THE Con-
tinuing saviorhood Of Christ" lie
said. in part:
Adequately to preach on this text
one must have had the experience OF
st. Paul. In so far as we come short
OF that We come short of the sym
pathy which Is necessary to complete
understanding: :
VINO would the poet understand
Must go into tho poets land
But there is one thought contained
IN 1t which we may venture to en-
largo upon. namely, the continuing
Saviorhood OF Christ. This Is not u
thought that Is as often with us az
1t shou Id be. when we speak Of
Christ as Savior, is not our emphasis
chiefly on salvation from the guilt
and punishment OF sin, rather than
on the daily and hourly protection of
Ills grace? But surely that is mar
row view. 1t is much TO have the
sense OF past sins forgiven, but life
is not over at conversion; there are
shoals and tempests ahead, and We
need One who will steer the ship
safely through. 1t Is much to go TO
Heaven when we die, but the road
between-who will keep our feet?
Speaking out of his own expert
ence-and who should know better?-
Paul says that this. too, is part. per-
haps tho greater part, OF the Saw
iorhood of Christ. He is with us
always - AN ever-present help in
trouble He saves us not only from
sin, but from fear, discourag emcnt,

freed fruits and flowers from their
