some sacrificial offering "In His
Name" TO these whom their Master
pities. All the great denominations
have united in a Church Commit
tee for China Relief, with offices at
los East Twenty-second street, New
York City. They seek a million
dollars, that they may save at least
hundred thousand lives between
now and June. A dollar keeps q
child alive for four weeks.
More persons - many millions
more-have been healed by the ex-
tensions of the Masters spirit than
He ever cured by His personal touch.
We commonly overlook the fact that
the great hospitals which dot civih-
cation are but expressions of the
spirit of the healing Christ. A few
days ago l had luncheon in the
physicians dining room on the 28th
floor of the magnificent New York
Hospital, building with beds for a
thousand patients, and the latest
conveniences and comforts for the
sick and for the staff No Oriental
monarch dwells in a more imposing
palace than this house of healing,
erected and maintained by the gifts
of men and women who partake of
Christ's spirit of compassion. The
hospital is a skyscraper sermon.
Jesus had nothing, yet He gave
everything. Vitality poured from
Him, as he shared His innermost
resources of life with the needy.
He was the comrade of all the poor
who today minister to their needy
neighbors with what they have.
Homeless, Jesus was the refuge of
seekers. Hungry, He was the giver
of the multiplied loaves. His re-
treats, for communion with the
Father, were broken into by the
needless crowds, yet He was never
impatient with them. His compass
sion stood all tests.
When Storms Arise.
There seems a contrast, though it
is only seeming, between the per-
sonal, self-spending ministry of the
Compassionate Christ and His occa-
sional exercise of His Divine author
ity. Our lesson tells not only of
the healing of beloved member of
Fisherman Peters humble home, but
also of the stilling of the tempest on
the Lake of Galilee.
Any one who has dWelt long by
the shores of Galilee's lake is IA
miliar with the sudden storms which
arise over this usually placid water.
I have seen the lake lashed with
fury, with whitecaps like those we
know on the ocean. Such a storm
arose one day when the weary
Healer was asleep in fishing craft.
The hardy boatmen were affrighted
and feared drowning How helpless
the strongest of us in the grip of
natural forces! Save, Lord; we
perish!" cried the affrighted crew.
And Jesus stilled the storm with a
word.
When storms arise, in our per-
sonal lives or in society, as at pres
ent, we turn, like the Galilean boat
men, to the Source of authority.
The truth of Gods control of all
forces is the taproot of all religion.
Situations are ever arising wherein
He, and only He, can save us. To
be aware of the power of God, and
to be in submissive fellowship with
it, is to draw the sting of life.
The Sunday school lesson for
November 26 is "The Works of
the Messiah" Matthew 8
and 8.

cious thing. So he sought widely,
until he had found the sword OF
Alexander the Great. With this
symbol, he again approached the
rates; only to be told that the
Almighty laughed at the puny power
of man.
"Wisdom must be the treasure, p"
unused the man; and he searched the
earth until he had found the Lost
Books of Solomon. With these in
hand, he again presented himself
before Gabriel; only to be told that
the wisdom of man is foolishness
with God.
Four times rebuffed, the discour-
aged mortal ranged the earth in
vain, seeking some greater treasure.
At last he gave up, and decided to
report his failure to the Angel.
On his way to the Celestial gates,
he saw a sick man by the roadside,
emaciated and covered with sores.
Deeply moved, he tarried to minister
to the unfortunate, and still weep
ing over the poor mans plight, he
presented himself again to Gabriel.
Before he could tell his tale OF
failure, Gabriel rushed to him, cry
ing, You have found it, the most
precious thing in the world"
BeWildered, the man looked at his
empty hands; but the Angel touched
his cheek, upon which still glistened
a tear, saying, "The tear of COM
passion! The most precious thing
on earth! Enter into Paradise"
One word above all others char
acterizes Christ-compassion. Again
and again HE was moved with
compassion" He shed tears of COM
passion over the capital of his ma
ton. His whole public ministry
was spent largely in works OF COM
passion His cross is the supreme
symbol of compassion. So often was
His work that of healing, that He
has been called a medical practi-
toner. The cure of Peters mother
in-law was but typical instance.
Wherever Jesus went, He found
human need. The missionary phy-
sicians who have followed in His
footsteps have been real representa-
tives of Him. Only one who knows
his Orient can fully appreciate how
great is the need for medical min
istration. The throngs of sufferers,
whom I have seen waiting at doc
tors doors all over the East, are
reminders of the crowds who sought
healing at Christ's hands.
The Call of China.
In this our day, with incredibly
tragic appeals to our compassion
coming from China and Palestine
and Poland and Spain, we wonder
if Christ in Heaven does not sorrow
in sympathy with mans suffering
Surely, every Christian should send
