THE MOTIVE OF THE
MASTER.

Love lived in the heart of God
therefore He gave His only begotten
Son. And that is the great pledge
that the door to the old home stands
wide open for every homeless one of
earth, that stained and beaten men
may become the children of God. And
it is because Christ loves that He is
the Savior Of the lost everywhere. And
it was that that He was trying to
make clear to Nichodcmus on some
lone roof rendezvous in Jerusalem
until His words have set all the hearts
Of earth athrill with the wonder Of
it. 1t is the biggest truth the world
has ever caught and it supplied the
motive that alone could capture the
imagination of men and sustain ou-
Lord and His followers. For pity
breaks down if that is all for many
a man-heathen, if you will-does
not ask our pity. How far would
pity carry one with q message to the
Mikado? And if his worth allures
then that too might break down upon
approach, for some men seem brute
on nearer view But love never fails.
Either in Gods heart or in the hearts
of His followers that is the all-sus-
tanning motive and the complete guar
antee of ultimate success.
The Republican., 1923-11-15

Of His time that He might minister
to human need wherever He found it.
There had been no field in which His
influence has been more needed nor
more potent than in that Of woman
hood She did hold a high place
among the Hebrews but even among
these best of the race many doors
were tight shut and in other places
there was not even a door-it was a
closed wall that hemmed her in and
stifed her possibilities. Jesus allowed
a company of them to accompany
Him as He went among the villages
so that her touch might carry some
thing of home where they travelled.
First among men, He gave her her
chance and it has been the glory of
Christianity ever since. For where
His teachings have gone she is no
longer a slave but a fellow-worker
with men in bringing in the kingdom
that offers her opportunity. And as
she expressed her love in that far-
off day by her gifts and her service,
so she does now. Great organizations
have grown under her hands until
they girt the globe with the helpful
ness that serves both the living and
the dead Christ. His ministry to her
and to her child has changed the NOR
al climate of the world and will yet
open all doors for her entrance.

Borah Still Fights
for Court Measure

WASHINGTON-Senator Borah
introduced a bill at the last session
providing that the supreme court may
not set aside any act of congress on
constitutional grounds unless seven of
the nine justices concur. In an inter
view just given out, he said he would
be willing 10 accept six to three de-
cisions as a compromise, but he had
good reasons for urging the seven to
two division. Unless this curb on the
supreme courts power is accomplished
by legislation such as he proposes,
Borah predicts, it will eventually force
constitutional amendment with more
drastic restrictions.
