SeuSIue. ~. MuTHs tDI.
To bring the person and teaching
of Jesus within the range OF or think
ing and living must ever be the -upreme
end and purpose OF the Christian
church. We define Him too much in
language and terms that render Him
remote and obscure. There Is O per-
sistent inquiry today that demands q
more comprehensive and understand
able portrait of the Master. This is
made evident by the many books that
are being written by laymen. bearing
upon the life and ministry OF Jesus.
Many of these books have merit, be-
cause they are written by men who
demand for themselves portrait Of the
Man of Nazareth" that fits into their
own experience and adapts itself to
their own environment. Any study Of
the life and ministry Of Jesus discloses
two conspicuous facts: First. His effort
to associate His teaching with the most
commonplace and natural environment
of men; and second, His use OF the SIM
plest and most understandable terms
in which to convey to men the pro-
foundest truths. He chose for the held
of His operation the widely used high
ways of life; He sought out men In the
places Of their daily occupation and
service: He used stories or parallels
with which to enforce great truths and
life precepts. The originality Of Jesus
Is equaled by His adaptability and His
universally. He Ats into every age
and every environment. For proverbs
He substitutes simple parallels; for an
abstract philosophy. that which bears
vitality upon our daily habits and prac-
tees He seeks to demonstrate to US
the practical value Of wholesome living.
the sheer usefulness Of a practice OF
life that reckons 1t in terms Of the
spirit His greatest utterances were
spoken in places and under conditions
that are common to men the world over.
He brought His great messages to home
and market-place. to open field. and
seashore, and from these familiar sur
roundings He drew incidents and illus
trations that gave point and force TO

His teachings. It Is little wonder that
1t was written of Him. "the common
people heard Him gladly" He spoke
their language, He understood their
problems and He sought to solve them
There Is an intimacy about the life
and ministry of Jesus that is altogether
unique. II we would once again bring
Him within the range of our twentieth
century living we must accept the por-
trait of Him that Is preserved to .us
in the simple Gospel narratives. II
He is to be to our age what He de-
signed Himself to be, We must bring
Him once again into vital contact and
relationship with the most commonplace
things and experiences Of our daily
life.
There Is nothing abnormal or super
normal about His approach to us. He
seeks to meet us where we live, His
supreme effort is to interpret God and
life to us in terms we can understand.
We shall not think of Him as less d.
vine because we seek more intimate fell
lowship with Him. We shall not make
His teachings less authoritative because
We seek to relate them TO our own in
dividual problems. 1t is becoming in
crcasingly evident, In spite Of all our
confused thinking that men and wom-
en- the world over are demanding more
and more the understandable Christ Of
the Gospels. The church must continue
to be His interpreter, but the interpre-
tation must ever be in terms Of life.
To render obscure His teachings or His
person, to take Him away from the
commonplace experiences Of men. is to
do violence to all that the Gospel con-
tains and sets forth. While He Is "the
mightiest among the mighty" He is
none the less the simplest and most
intimate OF all the teachers the world
has known. We shall measure the value
Of His life and teachings only as We
appropriate and apply them to our in
diyidual needs.
Dear Master. let me walk with Thee,
In lowly paths Of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear

pound, and for economic reasons it is
desired to retain the ad valorem or
value basis as part of the fundamental
tariff plan.
The turn toward system which
could be administered entirely within
this country became so strong prior to
enactment of the present tariff in 1922
that the House passed that bill with
ad valoren rates based on American
value-the value of a similar or COM
parable article produced in this coun-
try. This was stricken out by the Sem
ate, however, because of strenuous OBJ
jections to taxing one man on another
mans goods, being left in only those
sections dealing with coal tar interme-
dates and dyestuffs.
Developments since the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber act was passed have increased
the feeling that change is due. The
Senate finance committee Republicans
have attempted to meet this sentiment
by inserting an amendment in the
pending tariff bill, offered by Senator
Reed Of Pennsylvania and accepted with
important notifications, whereby the
tariff commission would be instructed
to convert the ad valorem rates of the
new act to figures applied to imports
during the two fiscal years ended last
July !, which would have yielded the
same amounts of duty had they been
applied to the value of the imported
articles as represented by the prices
at which they were offered for sale
in this country In the principal mar
kcts in the usual wholesale quantities,
and to report such rates to Congress
not later than January !. 1882. Such
change would neither increase nor
decrease the effective duty.
! This, of course, is merely an instruc-
ton for report to Congress and it
would be up to that body to accept
the new rates, reject them. or amend
them when the report was submitted,
but the proposed amendment represents
q long step toward O change In the
United States tariff system Of wide
spread importance.

place of pilgrimage-riSeso on one hand,
and on the other is a steep hill crowned
with the enormous convent and fortress
OF the Order Of Christ, which was once
almost unrivaled in Europe for its
wealth and Splendor.
The castle-convent Of Thomar is in
closed in great walls which rise grimly
around the summit of the rocky height
in the midst of the town. In entering
by the gate of Santiago the remains of
the Chapel of Sta. Catarina are seen
close by the walls, and below it the
castle of Gualdrin Paes, now the prop

south door of the church, portal which
is one of the richest specimens of the
f1amboyant gothic style in existence.
The plan of the tribune or apSe is
quite unique, having 16 sides, and being
