sacred joy; rejoicing in spirit and leaving
to His disciples in the hour of His departure
the bequest of His ioy-'that they might
have nv ioy fulfilled in themselves We
could not long endure a human being whose
face was never moved by laughter, or re-
Taxed by a gladdening smile. What SYM
pathy could we have with one who appears
in this manner, to have no human heart?
We could not even trust him. And yet we
have sympathy with Christ; for there is
somewhere in Him ocean of deep JOY,
and we see that He is in fact, only burdened
with His sympathy for us to such a degree
that His mighty life is overcast and OPP
pressed by the charge He has undertaken
His lot is the lot Of privaton, He has no
powerful friends, He has not even where to
lay His head. No human being could ap-
pear in such a guise without occupying us
much with the sense of His afflicton. We
should be descending to Him. as it were, in
pity. But we never pity Christ, never think
OF Him as struggling with the disadvantages
Of lower level to rise above it. In fact,
He does not allow us, after all, to think
much of His privations We think of Him
more being of mighty resources PROV
ing himself, only the more sublimely, that
He is in the guise of restitution. He is the
most unworldly of beings, having no desire
at all for what the earth give, impos-
sible to be caught with any longings for it's
benefits impossible even to it's charms and
yet there is no ascetic sourness or repug-
nance, no misanthropic dstaste in His man
ner; as if He were bracing himself against
the world to keep it off. The more closely
He is drawn to other worlds, the more fresh
and susceptible is He to the humanities of
this world. The little child is an image of
gladne5s which His heart leaps forth to en-
brace. The wedding and the feast and the
funeral have all their card of sympathy in
His bosom. At the wedding He is clothed
III congratu alton, at the feast in doctrine,
at the funeral in tears but no miser was
ever drawn to His money with stronger
desire than He to worlds above the world"
This striking passage from Bushnells
mature and the Supernatural, setting
forth so clearly the perfect balance of our
Lords character in contrast with the un-
evenness and unsteadiness Of human ma
ture. suggests the contrast of the majestic
parison with some of the calls of modern
churches to the unconverted children of
men.
more tender than the invitations Of Jesus
to the unsaved, calling them to come to
Him for salvation. What can exceed the
beauty of His words when He says, Come
unto me, all we that labour and heavy
laden, and will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me; for | am
meek and lowly in heart: and We shall find
rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy
and my burden is light" (Matthew XII

HOME STUDY COURSES
By H. AddingtOn Bruce


" INTEREST in adult education at home by
| means of correspondence courses obtained
from various sources, is growing at
remarkable rate. So rapidly is it CROWN g
that one hardly wonders at the quizzical
comment of a university supervisor Of study
! by correspondence:
THE American public may almost be d-
vided into three classes: those who are talk
ing a correspondence course. those who are
resting after a bout of instruction by mail,
and those whose yens hang poised over the
dotted line
Unfortunately, the same supervisor feels
obliged to add that many do not obtain the
results they had hoped for and in expana-
ton he points out:
Home study requires intelligence, will
power and the ability to work alone. These
qualities, especially in combination are not
universal.
MANY refuse to believe me when I tell
them that the work is hard. The result of
their incredulity is waste of time
1t is no exaggeration to say that not few
of those who undertake home study seem to
think that there is something magical in cor
respondence courses so that they draw
knowledge from the courses with little more
effort than is required to read a detective
story.
AT any rate, numbers do home study much
in the fashion that they do their story
reading.
To be sure they give to their correspond
ence textbooks more than the single reading
given to the stories. But mere repetition Of
reading is not enough. Everything depends
on the way the reading is done
There must be concentrated endeavor to
grasp the meaning of what is read. If this
or that word perplexes, instead of simply
making a guess at its significance, time
should be taken to look it up in the diction-
airy. Whole passages should be read and re-
read intently, so as both to understand them
better and fix them more firmly in the mind.
TO skip blithely along from passage TO
Passage, or to read slowly enough, but with
the mind fitting from one outside interest
to another is to insure inability to meet the
corresp ondence tests. Inability to meet these
is further insured by the practice of doing
ones home study at irregular intervals
1t is easy indeed to find excuses for not
obliging oneself to study with regularity for
certain length OF time daily. But irregu-
larity in study means, for one thing increas
ed difficulty in concentrating when one does
study. And always concentration is the
secret of success in home study as in success
full mental effort generally.
There are other factors in efficient study
into which l have not the space to 60 Stu
dents and prospective students will find
these admirably presented in such books as
G. V n. Dearborn's How to Learn Easily"
and II. D. kitson's How TO Use Your Mind,
books that ought to be in every student
library.
The point I wish to stress is the folly Of
subscribing for any home study course unless
one is prepared to engage in it with real en-
thusiasm. energy and persistency.
