love by willingly taking the sinners
place upon the cross. No hirelinS
would sacrifice himself to save others.
The man whose heart Is in his work
can be counted upon to do his duty.
The Master tried to impress upon His
hearers the fact that the measure of
ones obligation to serve depended
upon the position that they had as
sumed. The Christian is called upon
to minister unto the needy, the broken
hearted and discouraged by pointing
them to the Christ as the source OF
their peace. power. prosperity and
protection.
Christ gave His life, notsonly for the
nation that lie loved but for the
whole world There is no other way
to secure for men the spiritual unity
and brotherhood that will Danish dis.
cord. divisions and differences among
men and nations. except we persuade
them TO recognize the unlimited love
Of Christ. The continued exercise of
the spirit of the Pharisees separates
men. False teachers create divisions
1t is only as the leaders in civil, COM
mercial and church life catch the
spirit Of the Christ and dedicate their
lives. love and labor to lead men to
follow the living Lord that we can
meet the problems of doubt and de-
spair that trouble many modern men.
While differences will continue to
exist along racial. national and re
ligions lines in the many fiocks
throughout the world, the practice in
q practical way of Christ's gospel by
all His followers will usher in a new
era. when, although there will be many
flocks. there will be but one fold and
one shepherd. the Messianic Christ.
He will substitute love for force, and
brotherhood for hate among all who
will recognize Him. as the Good Shep-
herd, by their faith and entrance into
Him as the door of salvation, security
and SuStenanCe.
