Y.?Preaching at the * frying Square Presbyterian Church on; the theme, "Jesus Christ," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor took as his text John 1:14: "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among ns." He said: The character and career of/ Jesus Christ are the ground of human hope ' * and the basis of mankind's belief in His power as the Saviour. His life, as the evidence of the sincerity of His speech, is the source tessg^ of His success. v . The outward action of our Master . Is the signal and the surety of His inward healthfulness of heart, .n His life, precept and practice were at : coincidence. With Him thought and J.v> deed always were concurrent. His words conveyed His real intentions and His innermost ideals. His y language was to lead men unto eter* nal life and was never used to coni \,-; ceal a wicked thought. Preaching a gospel of light unto the salvation of the world and proclaiming His personal sufficiency as v the Saviour of mankind from sin, / V Jesas Christ talked truth, walked true, died on Calvary, in devotion to 9 ^ His divine commission, unto the saving of the souls of sinners. The life of Jesus is remarkable, not only as it reveals His oneness /I?-nitv "hnf niso as if shows to > ~ ? ??- ? -- -? :.; us what qualities of manhood are tfljf- potent for a real success. Taekling the mightiest problem in the V "world, the Christ exemplifies what r:& " are the means that we should use to 1 ^ 'win success in all our lesser strife. He teaches us a lesson that should > count for much in all our daily do: ings; which should make us forceful '$ : ^factors which shall lead men up to Gcd; which should push us ever uearto His holiness and grace. The life and the doath. i. e., the v':- career of Jesus Christ, reveal to us v ' / four divine qualities of character that every man should possess. In His >'7- downright eaynestness; in His fiery v. intenseness; In His clear cut, sharp, directness; and in His faithfulness to the truth and to His trust, the Friend of humanity leads every man successward, if he will to go. The earnestness of Jesus Christ is a secret of His power. Tendering to C men a surety of eternal life, He did ; net fool their time or His own away. ?|& Professing a pledge of upliftinent from the dqpth of sin. He held His > word in serious regard. The salva^ tlon of the world was not mere child's ? : nlav. hut a whole man's, yea, the God-man's, labor. The need was for ^ M. a man who was dead in earnest. gR:' Such a man was the Christ. . ?&& Earnestness made Christ a winner. Clearness of vision as to His mission would have be^n of none d: effect had the Christ been weak of jjpr*-' will Love for men and loyalty to jjK*: His Father made strong demand for earnestness. The pluck and the push of the Master secured the consummaI; tion of His .purpose. Irresolution would have merited defeat, and it I? would have gained our Lcrd oblivion, d Lack of zeal would have lost th^ Christ to history. But for His earnestness and determination the story of His virtues never would' have reached our ears. Earnestness inrJo Christ push the fight into the country of the enemy; courage and resolution won Him fame and secured Him in His place of glory in the Father's , home. With a fiery intenseness Jesus battled for the souls cf meu. His JV was no lukewarm, milk and water, blow hot and blow cold, half-hearted gp?;' enthusiasm. The Christ was always ardent. His spirit never cooled, but V- lwas ever at a rich, white-heat. His ^ . was enthusiasm compounded. Believing, as He did, that the happiness ^ of the human heart and the saving of t the human soul are the main con'v: cerns of human life, our Lord had ever a zeal that was glowing. Trusting in the power of divine aid and - knowing the need of the human race to be saved from sin, Jesus Christ was as full of earnestness as He was of grace and truth. Grace is good; jpjjv truth is a* talisman of might, but grace and truth need grit and fire ere : they do their greatest work. Iron is ? mi-noral of worth, but for battle give me tempered steel. Men of muscle are goodly to the sight, but *?? . :' for action send me out the man of courage and the souls who want to win. , :f-; But with all Ilis earnestness and intenseness the Saviour made un& ' erring aim. Directness was not the least of His commendable traits. The need was for good marksmanship and a sure sight. Sin was at the centre >of the world's distress and to hit the middle of the target was the mission of the Christ Jesus never minced matters when He dealt with sinu Without care for the consequences and with no circumlocution our Lord let loose His flaming wrath upon the works and the worker- of iniquity. His was no uncertain, wavering voice. The fear of the outcome of His fierce denunciation of spiritual and moral lawlessness was foreign to His heart. Clear, sharp, with an incisiveness that cut to the very core of the matter, He stated the fundamental propositions of the Kingdom of our God and then made His enev mies admit the power of His points. His was no halting, thin-toned stalest c ment of eternal virtues. Feeling within the deepest recess of His heart that sin was the cause of man's suffering and knowing that re-birth was necessary to a full salvation, tr.e Master sent forth those firm, direct and forceful messages that have been the object of the curses of a few md the hope and inspiration of a mighty and unnumbered host who do honor to His name. To supplement Kis earnestness and flaming directness Jesus added surpassing faithfulness. Faithfulness is but a simile for steadfastness. To be faithful is to have a cordial cerii tainty that the right must win i.ud H'< GK?" L'"" * mp/r<$\ BVTM& REV-Jjp" RA W- HfcNDiiRS'o^, FHE: PAMOOS DfOlNE> I also to be ready to stand firm and valiant for the truth until righteousness shall prevail. The Christ was pre-eminently faithful. His was the incorruptible devotion to the deI urViip'h cVirtnlrl Via thA lliUUUO \JL UUtJ f! ~ ideal of us all. To Him we must turn do we wish to see the ideality of service. From Him must we learn would we get the wisdom that shall gain us our ambition's goal. Sitting at the feet of the Master do we enter into knowledge of a fine fidelity which commands respect. Earnestness, intenseness directness, faithfulness?these are ^.he four words that point the lesson for us now. To Christians and to the Christless souls of the universe of God, the Saviour is the interpreter of the salient qualities that are necessary for a life's successes. He it is who illustrates and objectifies for us what our lives should be. The need for these cardinal virtues was never more evident or well voiced than in this day. In the world of business they are no less needed t.ian in those religious spheres where moral and spiritual verities are uppermost. The necessity for the exercise of these qualities that make for manly might is everywhere apparent. To the man who would attain business predominance and commercial power they are invaluable and indis! pensable. Deduct the moral criraj inality which has made possible the i success of many of the industrial and financial leaders of our day and the fact that their influence is largely based upon indomitable pluck and l energy and dutifulness still outstands all else. Backbone and push have been the reason for the rapidity in advancement of a throng. A clean bull's eye gains applause for the man with the hand and the true sight. Directness brings to a man the con! fidence of the crowd. Half-heated, I Dcorly-Sred, swaying, swerving, ir resolute men without sense or sand enough to be true to anything for any considerable length of time never reach the top. never attain, never are lifted to a place of power. The world has small use for moral weaklings or men without spunk and grit, at the front. These characteristics which we have-denominated. as among the distinguishing features in the Christ's career are most essential, however, to the man who would reach the highest usefulness and be most a blessing in the world. Needful as these qualities may- be to those who would be famed for physical and material achievement they are still more requisite for those who desire spiritual graces. Especially are they compulsory and mandatory for those who have not acknowledged Christ and j would wish to call Him Lord. The ! soul's restoration depends entirely j upon the willingness of the sinner to seek salvation earnestly and in faith. Spiritual baptism is the gift of the Father to those only who come straight to the* point. Excuses and attempts at palliation of our personal guilt merely delay the crisis. Extenuation and mitigation are of none avail. Decisive and conclusive yielding of the heart to the Master is the one concession that will bring a spiritual surcease from the woe of a wicked life. ! Earnest endeavor to be I faithful to the trust of the Christian Sonship gives growth and greatness, in the spiritual life. These gospels from the life of our Lord have special bearing upon the activities of the church. The church of Christ is not so earnest, not so intense, not so faithful, as she should be in the spreading of the seed of salvation. The church has lessened her directness too much in her attacks upon the strongholds of sin. We have been content with mediocrity while the devil has gained asaam f A K A tVi A ] uciiuaaV/C. J UC Luuitu} iu %jg tu^ ; agent for goUline^' that she is called upon to be, must get down to business. Half-heartedness puts the flag of the Christ at half-mast. We must nail our colors at the top and keep them there. Directness demands clean-cut. unwavering work done with faithfulness, fidelity and with hoping hearts. The church, each of and all of us together, must cease to be satisfied with poor work or none. The salvation of our own souls and the procuring of temporal and eternal blessings for ourselves is not enough. Are we to attain success, as an organization, in the spiritual work that counts, we must be all on fire wi.h the desire to save men's souls, and.to bring happiness to their hearts and lives while here. Lack of zeal will condemn us as unworthy. Feeble fire proves remissness. A poor aim lays us open to the enemy's assaults. Unfaithfulness I is unworthy of us and will meet the j condemnation of our God. Celestial Investments.

The most famous of all comets, | though not the largest and most bril- j liant, will again be visible in 1910. j This is Halley's comet, so called from i its identification by the great astron- j omer who was the friend of Sir Isaac j Newton. Halley's investigations of j astronomical records led him to as- | sert that the comet which he had ob- j served in 1G82 had appeared in 1531 j and 1607, and to predict its reappear- r ance in 1759. The fulfillment of his | prophecy excited the most intense scientific interest and established beyond doubt the periodicity of comets and their movements in orbits determined by the law of gravitation. Its last appearance was in 1835, Its period varying between seventy-five and eeventv-Bix years years on account of the perturbing attractions ed Jupiter and Saturn in certain parts cf its orbit. It was by that time possible to calculate its movements with much greater accuracy than before that it made its perihelion passage within four days of the predicted date. It was not then a very grand object to the naked eye, but the light of its nucleus surpassed that of second magnitude stars and was comparable with that of Aldebaran and Antares. Its tail, while the comet was approaching the sun, attained to a length of 20 degrees, ?Leslie's Weekly.. The real work in plowing Is done by the mule, but a man gets all the credit for it. ?
