CIlSlS.
The process Of testing out Of
leaders is under way all over the
world. In every local community
new men and women are coming
to the fore to accept responsibilities
that were either untitled entirely or
met perfunctorily. We are learning
to distinguish between drum majors,
appareled in pomp, who parade at
the head of professions, and real
generals and strategists, who Or
ganize the march and the move
ments. Humanity's cry today Is God
give us men"
This condition brings us face to
face with question which the CEN
turies have posed: Why not accept,
in the most practical ways, the
leadership of Jesus Christ, the ever
contemporary Leader of the races
real advances? This present les
son, with its stories of His power
over mind and wave, and over the
destructive evil spirit in man. makes
the issue pertinent. In vain we muse
upon the mightiness of the Master
by Galilee unless we can have that
same power for our own day.
There have been hours when the
public has been uplifted to vision
of the present place Of Jesus in the
worlds life. The city of Florence

Spirit to make them benefcent. In
a profounder sense than ever we
have dreamed, He is our peace"
The Leader With Authority.
We have not fully walked up to
the truth that Christ claims the
right to rule. In astonishment and
protest, critical hearers of Jesus
when he was present in the flesh
commented upon His air and atti-
tude of authority. He was an
original voice and no conventional
commentator upon commentators.
His Il say unto you" had the ring
of absoluteneSS. In His own right
He laid down the principles of the
new life. He had no ScrupleS about
upsetting precedent; He claimed
authority greater than that of Alb
raham and Moses and David and
the prophets. No wonder the tradl-
ton bound scribes and pharlsees
we,e shocked by rs audaclty.
They, like us. were unwilling TO
Weld fullest king rights to this un-
tutored Carpenter from Gallllee.
The world has had its fill OF
Munich minded men, appeaserS and
compromisers, who would end the
present war on any particular
terms. Now we want leadership
that will drive out the demons that
have possessed mankind and SEND

want One who will hurl biting

exploiters of the people. we
want a Master whose heart Is filed
with tenderness for little children

who will guide and guard and giro

Some men have envisioned the
role that Christ has played down
the centuries. A familiar passage
from Jean Paul Richter pictures
Him who, being holiest among the
mighty, and the mightiest among
the holy, lifted with His pierced
hand empires off their hinges and
turned the stream of centuries
out of its channel, and still governs
the ages"

One shrinks from following this
theme to its logical conclusion, lest
one seem merely to be talking pious, 4"
or echoing platitudes. 1t would be
simpler to go into details of today's
lesson as one who has been storm
tossed on the Lake of Galilee and
who has lived for months in sight
of the brown hills of Gadara, down
which the demon possessed swine
fed. But 10 translate these in
stances of Christs power into pres
