Beemed possible, for example, to get a t
tvide reading for the two-year-old book by ii
Principal Fairbairn of Oxford, Mansfield y
College. He has callcd it "The Philosophy ii
Df the Christian Religion." The book a
grew out of Principal Fairbaim's aopoint- d
ment as Haskell lecturer in India. He had
the sacred books of Hinduism and felt that
he knew how to meet its positions with
sympathetic understanding. When he
reached India, however, he found Hindu- jj
ism a very different thing in practice. That ^
turned him hack upon a candid study of 0
his own faith, to see vhether and wherein 0
it might differ in present practice from ito j,
Driginal form. Such a study was certain a
to result profoundly, and it is a profound
book. I wish all of us Christians might 0
follow an argument which results in such
sentences as there: "The Son of God holds E
in His pierced hands the keys of all re- j,
ligions, explains all the factors of their jj
being and all the persons through whom r
they have been realized." "The Incarna- j
tion is the very truth which turns nature f
and man, history and relieion into the t
luminous dwelling place of God." I think ^
I shall not forget tnat phraae that the In- ](
carnation turned the world into the lum- 8
inous dwelling place of God, that Jcsu3,
once born into manhood, has never died
out of manhood, and shall instead draw
manhood into His own fellowship and t
likeness. . >
We shall be able to feel the personal .
meaning of all this when wc stop to name' ,
over some of the traits w..ich mark the
changed life. It is a life of faith?of quiet e
confidencc in God. There_ is^no idleness
nor lazy trusting that things will come J
crut right by some mysterious method. It
is the life of belief that we are in a Father's
world, making our way to a Fa- /
ther's house. That faith stands over
against the doubt and fear and anxiety of j.
the unchanged life. And because it is 0
faith in God it accomplishes faithfulness a
to men and our duties. And this is what
the world sees. It cannot see faith in God. ^
It can see only the faithfulness in the life
we live. From gross dishonesty on up to
unreliability, at whatever stage it appears,
unfaithfulness prevents an argument for .
Christ. 1
This is the argument of the changed 2
life- And f. cannot mistake that it is ?
cuch argument which Christ Himself most 1
prizes and which the world most needs? c
needs not in these larger ways and places ?
alone, there so much as in the men wifh
whom it must deal most clocely. My
brcthern, it is the argument of ur own ^
changed, Christianized lives that is uost *
needed. The books are strong?and un- 8
read. The uncommon, marked cases arc 6
many?and unobserved. Our lives are T
daily before our fellows, closely read, con- ?
stantly observed. These are the worlds J'
arguments. And what is .coagut is not *
eomc impossible perfection. Many of our
fellows are not unreasonable. No, but e
there is wanted r.n alignment between our
projpssions and our actions that shall indicate
that something higher and better has
actually taken hold of us. We claim to be t
ecrvants of the best Master; we are not v
faultless servants; wo do not claim to ' i
we do not claim to be better than other a
people. Wc claim only this, 03 Christians, n
that wo arc seeking to do as Christ ap- f
proves, that we re seeking to Jive the a
kind of iife He lay3 out for us. The practi- a
eal James in his New Testament epistle (5
puts it in a succinct way: You say you F
are honest; v.ery well; show me your hon- t
esty without paying your debts and I will
pay my debts to snow my honesty. It is
the practical outworking which' convinces
other men. Men arc saved by their faith I
in Christ. But other men know that ii
they are saved by the way they act. n
Argument resulting so is worthy of r
study. But it would be so wild as to be v
silly to expect men who look on the re- h
ligion of Christ for the outside to labor J;

for Jesus is the effect He h:.s on

ophical or profound, and not as bearing *r
ogical tests better than others. It is 01
>est because we can all see it and feel the
orce of it. i
I asked a wise man once what he count- x
id the best argument,in behalf of Christ.

set Christendom over against heathenism
md see what Christ can do \vith men. Set
t over against the. Christendom that
ihould be and see what Christ has still to c<
lo. ' ' n'
Now all that is very simple, and it is at 111
iuch simple points in our lives that Christ S,'
:omes into closest contact with us. The *
?nly claim He makes to Kingship is based
>n the fact that He is one who can. 1)1
ie can brine things to pass. He can aclomplish.
He can achieve. You remem- |a
>er how constant His fame ran ahead of
Jim in His journeying. He healed some ^
tnd they told it. He taught others and "
hey announced it. He fed a multitude a
md they clung to Him. I am not supposng
that the crowd really believed in Jesus
or what He claimed to be, but the crowd b
ras drawn to Him by the effect He had c'
iad on men. and thus was brought under e:
lis spell. And no man will ever believe cs
n Jesus on the mere evidence of lives j"
ibout Him. He must accept Him for Him- ^
lelf. But the effect.. He has on lives will ?
lave its part to-ddy as then in turning Cf
nen to Him. The unchanged life does not 11
Iraw. The thoroughly changed life is His E<
jest argument. v
You remember I have already said that ^
:here are better arguments for Christ than ?'
;he lives of His followers?better philo- 11
sophically and logically. He is Himself
Eis best argument. Just a careful, candid 8<
jtudy of His own character with its pe- 8
:uliar balance of traits, with its striking n
rymmetry?that would be very convinc- ^
ng. For my part I enjoy the 6o-called
netaphysical arguments, even some which w
ire not popular in the philosophical facul- o:
;ies nowadays. There are very profound i:
jooks written which men might read with cl
srolit. c.
But we are just common men, and we do tl
rery little profound thinking, almost no lc
ibstract thinking, and we are reached n
looner and most effectively by the argu- ai
nent of results. There are men, of course, h
3ot so bright as ourselves, who would be p
iiard pressed; gust to read the books which n
present theeJe* obstru'se arguments. In my tl
reading, the other day, I ran across a sen- fi
tenoe from one of these profound writers g
which will interest you, just by way of u
illustration. It is a definition of religion A
ind runs this way: "Religion is the ulti- c<
mate and vital apprehension by the indi- a
ridual of what is conceived to ' c reality in tl
its fullest sense, the inner truth of things; h
whether 6uch reality be regarded as co- is
jxtensive with, as included in, or as die- n
tinct from the world of natural phenom- si
;na, it always, however, being regarded as tl
in some way related to the individual him- a
self; any euch apprehension embracing be- li
lief, emotional response and the determin- S
ition of conduct, in so far as conduct is t;
supposed to have a bearing on the con- \i
aedtion of the individual with such real- v
ity." Now that is not a very bad way of n
stating certain facts about religion, and ?
yet I doubt if some of us would care to
jo far in boohs worded that way. Some of e
v-ou have been under the influence of re- fi
ligion a good many years, tut have never o
worded it just that way. I
There are easier ways of wording the n

rued back again to tbe easier argument
Christ's behalf?the visible effect He
is on life around. It waB possible to
udy Jesus in His own character. The
owd came that day to see Him and to
e Lazarus, "whom He had raised from the
:ad. Indeed, Lazarus, -changed into new
;e, was so strong an argument that his
lemies would have killed him to silence
m.
And it is still the Commonest method to
:plain away or to deny the effects of Jeis
in the world. If He has laid hold on a
:ople, we must find out how climate and
ice&try and customs have been the real
lifting agencies. If He makes a characr
attractive and winsome, we tali: about
eposition and training. That is, we want
azarus explained away unless * ? mean
acknowledge the power of Christ. The
langed life is the argument which tbe
orld finds most forceful. The World is
terested, not in Christ's theory, but .in
is success. That argument can he made

i pointed to peoples only yesterday in
vnorerv and now lifted into a well begun
vilization. I read recently the life of
imes Chalmers, the missionary in the
juth Seas. Just after he became acrninted
with the people one of his wife's
ienas, as a mark of respect and affection,
rought her a piece of human flesh, nicely
>oked, as a dainty for her own table,
hey were often invited to cannibal feasts,
n a new island, only four years ago,
halmers was killed and his body eaten,

vilization, nas taken hold upon such peoe

le South' Seas where a voyager is not
fe; there is no non-Christian island where
? is safe.
It is a life of hope.It has not. yet rerived
its best things. The best times are
Dt past nor present, however glad they
iay be. There are better things to come
it of the Father's love as we go on in the
ather's world. And thi6 hope works into
je sight of men in the form of cheer, of
tightness, of encouragement. Some one
sked the other fay what I thought of
ughing Christians. It was a new phrase
) me." We do not think much of silly
hristians, I suppose, of shallow Chrisana,
whose joy compares with real joy as
giggle compares with a laugh. But what
1- "t n Pliri'a+inn life whope
in one imiia. ut a ,
ope never comes out into the cheer and
tightness of a joyous life? I heard a
aild say a little piece once, in which was
rplained that one day in heaven God beime
weary of the dinging of the harps
ad'the singing of the angels, so He sliced
them all and sang a strain of music
[imself. and ere it had died away He
lught it, threw about it a beautiful plulage
and cast it into the air,' and soothe
ragbirds came to earth. They are God's
lusic sent into life. And are we other?
7ho ?o well as we may catch the glad
:rain of joy and make our lives a gladdenig
influence in the world? And if instead
e droop and pine, and will not bear the
jrrows as though they Were charged with
[ad meaning from our Father, and will
ot cast a radiance of joy into other lives,
here is the changed life?
The Kings of the Holy T.oman Empire
'ere crowned with a tnpie crown, m one
f which was a nail of the true cross. And
1 the triple crowning which marks the
hanged life, one bears the nail of the
ross. For supremely the changed life ia
be life of love, and love means sacrifice,
>ve means service, leva means helpfuless.
No man can see another's love save
s it shows itself in the service' of helpfuless
it renders. When men seek the sureme
example of love they look upon a
gure which glorified the cross, which had

ind love is the hid fact of that best life,

he Christian life?such a love as makes us
elpful among men for Christ's sake. It
i no mere pity of other men's needs; it is
o shallow sentiment which cannot bear to

han that. It is the commanding motive in
11 life?to serve. It means laying out our
ves for that wherever they are lived,
ometimes it demands large things. Someines
it cones out in the daily, common

A Recommendation to General Spinner*
Applicants for Government positions
under the civil service have a more or
less discouraging time of it. It was not
so in the olden days, when positions
were first thrown open to women during
the Civil War. Here is the story
of the appointment under General Spinner,
of one who is still a clerk in the
Treasury Department:
"It was ,n 3SC4," she said, "two years
after the appointment of women had
become a permanent thing. I was in
Washington visiting a sister. I made
up my mind that I wanted a position,

one, I went to the Treasury and made
my own application. I simply walked
into General Spinner's office and said:
" 'General Spinner, I would like a
position in the Treasury.' The General
looked up carelessly, and then went
on with his work.
" 'How long Bave you been in Washington?'
he asked.
".'Three years.'
" 'What influence have you?' he
asked.
" 'What influence?' I stammered.
'I don't know what you mean.' I was
beginning to get embarrassed.'
" 'Yes, influence,' he said. 'What
Congressman do you know?'
" 'I don't know any,' I faltered. This
time the General threw down his pen,
leaned back in his chair and looked at
me.
"You're been in Washington three
years and don't know any Congressman?'
he queried. 'Good! That's recnmrnonrtntinn

yours.'Washington Post.
"Who Owni a Wouun'i Hair? *
There is nowadays virtually nothing
that a wife can do for which she cannot
make her husband pecuniarily responsible.
Whatever happens he has
always got to pay her costs. And
though he leaves her at his peril, she
can always leave him at her pleasure;
and the law she can put in force to
compel his return to her is of no use
whatever to compel her to return to
him.
"When," a benedict had occasion to
plead lately ? 'when I married, her I
became in a sense part proprietor of
her hair." Now she had brought him
before the Ca<li on the charge of steal:
ing that same hair. If it had been the
hair of her head and he had exercised
1 it in the course of business the charge
of stealing might perhaps have been
unsustainable. But she had bought the
hair with her own money and had been
at charges for making it up. The husband
had, as the Cadi pointed out, no
"V a. linger +>yo r>lrr>nm
stances; there was no part ownership,
as there might once have been considered
to be, in the product, and no right
to raise money on it In point of fact
