Knrljer in the history of the nation (he conception wm more aniritual, but by the time of the comitifr of Jesus of NriTarcl h I heir hope had lost it* higher fttid more aniritual character." Oiw morning toward the close of fli.i eevthly ministry, when the chilling bla^t* of winter Jiad driven Him from the open eoMrrw^ftl the tcmole trt a sheltered *pot:. Jegtrs, the now far famed teacher and e'aimatit of Meisianje "boners, miahl have l>een seen up ai?t^ dow*,i the paved Inelosnre known rv<i Pohlmoii's Porch. Tt was the fea?t of (lecTTtStion and 'the fath ers of the nation were gathered in Jerusa b^n. There was m"'h imitation and con flict among them. The famo and lilaim of (J'^sus of Nazareth was known to all. Man? of these very men had followed in the crowds lo see and hear Him. The more spiritual had felt a stwiuse stirring iif th<* soul in response to the call of this stennflje teacher to a purer nt4v more exalt ed life, but sorely thou reasoned thiv; could not be the Christ ? He was so ' different fl'oin what they had expected the Christ to be. The less 'relicious were even more puzzled. The life of Jesus from the creat ure comftp'fc side was nothing to he en vied. ^ They could find nothing fo explain the aim of this Teacher with His subver sive teaching. Of ono thing thev wero sure. He was a dangerous man. for while hv implication an<1 even openly He claimed to be the Christ, He in no way correspond ed to their idea of what the Christ should be. ' Snrelv f Fc was not the Messiah of Cod! TTnon what could such a njtm as thin base such a claim! While .Tesus paced thoughtfully up and down \\?i i h in the porch He was quickly surrounded by an ea^er. pressing ero.jvd, some intense with yearning for assurance and satisfaction of soul, others dark with the clouds of stricken conaeicnce and the ma'ieionsncsa of disapiiointed hatred. Not withstanding their varied feelings, all a'ike were anxious to plv llim with question*. Kaacrly tliev pressed unon Him the vital question "How lonct w?'t -Thou hohl us in suspense?" literally, "HoAv-lonir wilt Thou lift up our souls? ' excite us, hold us be tween hope and fear? "If Thou really art the Christ, then tell ua plainly." Such is the inevitable question which mu*t be asked by every soul when brought face to face with the claim of Jesus to be the Christ of Cod. Was He the anointed of Cod? Was He "the Kinc's Son" who fcb?yild be called "Wonderful, counselor, the miahty Cod. the evarlastinac Father, the nrince of peace?" Was He indeed the Christ, or was He an imposter or A J^vcaklinf. ilhisioned by the fervor of Hi* own enthusiasms? These qudntions as Old" a*? Christianity are vital to our day and hour. If He is not the Christ we niav bo done with Him and go our wav. <!f He is in very truth "the anointed," "the sent of Cod." we are bound to listen to His voice as the voice of God. to learn His prccepts nnd obey. ? ? - : To our o uea t ion - 11 Art TtHYil HiiTChnst?'' Jo?ua makes answer; note His words: "I tnhl you, but ve .believe not." The Immediate appeal of .fesus was to Ilia ver bal attestation of His Messiahship. Al ready lie hed to'd them that God was HJ? Father, that the Father bad sent Him into the world in His name, to establish FfS kingdom among men, but they would not believe. Of what u?a was it to telt them thht which thev had already heard ' and bad refused to believe? Nor was it al together strand iimt His verbal attesta tion of IT is Messiahshin was not readily ac cepted, for His assertion to be one with a God was a most startling one. Men give credence slowly to the claims of others; they must pee reasons or they will not be lieve. Should a man come to our National Government claiming to be the Ambassa dor of Enoland the first thine that would he required of him would he that he should furnish credentials. Failing to furnish them he would be laughed at for a fool. Jesus saw that He must found His claim on something more convincing than Ill's verbal attestation. He recognized the ne cessity for nroof and furnishes that proof in His words "the works that I do in Mv VstherV name, these bear witness of Me." This nopeal o?.,Tesns to His works as proof that He wasTlhe Christ require* tthat we for a moment examine them. Strenuous effort-have hp en made during this, the new to read out of the works of .Tcsus all that is suncrnatural and di vine. He is unintelligible,' we are to'd, un less neeountrd for on human grounds alone. Consider, then, that when viewed in the light of human action. His works were beautiful nml powerful beyond compare, and in themselves point to a hiu!>or divine life. The advanced thinkers of our day have, within comparatively few years, reached tho conclusion that the* highest t. u> .i.e is that winch ihey call altrttls "? ? e., life sncnt lor others.

H(?cause of these and tluf | 0|)chmg of ocean routes travel was ra*y as compared with preceding centuries. J'eoplo traveled more. Thus facilities for flisseminating a new truth Olvcre bi tter than ever before in tho world's history. ? lint the most notable preparation Avas that of the Jewish people. They bad long ?tnvcn with (heir desire to worship idols*. At last their vision was clarified in this re gard. and the way was open for a further revelation. Moreover, the dificernina among them, from reading the annals at their" fathers, hod come to long for the promised Messiah until that longing was ?kindled to a fervent heat. All theso tliinas peculiarly fitted the time in which Jesus hved for the reception and spread of great religious truths, ?> Nor is history since that time less re markable. He died a death of shame: none could, according to the common notion ho more ignominious or disgraceful. Jli* friends apparently were few. That He I wqfikl sOon be forgotten would seem nat [ urai ? K ,^as no'; so ? His followers multiplied with marvelous rapidity. I'er* s editions hegan and thousands of them I were burned, roasted, speared and given over to_ wild beasts. Notwithstanding all this, within 300 years one-twentieth part ?! K'? emP',e were professed Christians, tho hmneror himsnlf among the number, erom that time until the present Cl>ri-; tianily and civilization have gone hand in hand. ^Jany of the great upheavals of I he world's life is the storv of Christianity asserting herself against the powers that would stay her triumphant march. It was so in the tlme of Charlemagne, of f.uther, of Cromwell and of Plymouth Hock. Tho lines of history conv'erpre toward Jesus Christ. In all things truly He has nre. eminence. Surely, this must be the Christ, rrom the historic point of view was llo not more than man? His works and the I voice of history declaro Jesus to be the God-man. If- there still be a lingering doubt in the mind of anv that Jesus is the Christ, "the King's Son,*' let him study the human heart and its deepest needs nnd his doubts will fly. Sin like a rambre cloud casts a dark _^ed-*lw?dow aM>*tr-evrry life. Man has ever found himself gripped in the relent less grasp of an evil nature. None is ex empt. AH alike are tarred with the one black stick. If a man tells you he has not a sinful nature get a little closcr and you will detect the odor of the tar so familiar td yourftolfi Congratnjnte ourselves as we - nwr upon otir 'gootTnes is still a fact that we are by nature smful. Hut while this is true, it is also true that man feels stirring within him a higher and holier na ture. He feels within a purpose to be other and better than bc-is. Itefore him he sees the ideal of a hajly character, ?- na ture wholly free from sib. and tnat nature ho feels to be akiu to "God. Now look at tTesus in the light of these ( facts. Ilify days are one long sequence of holy thoughts and perfect deeds. In Him ycu look for sinfulness in vain. In llim there is no fault, not the shadow of a thought that man can brand as sinful. "This at oncu differentiates Him from alt others. In Him man finds his ideal ex pressed. Let the heart once come in touch with Jesus and It needs no other answer to its questions. In Him it is satisfied. What it would have, Jesus already has. In touch with Him the soul must keep if it would have its needs supplied, and its higher life realized. Surely He who alone realizes life's ideal and satisfies the needs and aspirations of the heart must be the Christ. Oh, soul, have you the assurance this morning from need supplied, ideals sanctified and heart satisfied, that Je*us is the Christ? Believe Him for His word has been tfiven. If not for this believe llim for His work's sake. If still you doubt, consult the testimony of history and of thr htrmftn licart, and your soul, re sponding to His divine touch, will surely cry V>nt, "Yes. Jesus, I know Thou art the Christ of God!" Christian Faith. Christ i.Vn faith is a grand cathedral with divinely pictured windows. Standing with out, you see no glory, nor w>n possib.y imagine any; standing within, every ray of light reveals a harmony of unspeakable ipleudors. ? Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Woman In ti-.o Case.
