the nation. 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. ? ? - :

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. The
hest personal lifo is realized only as
:U life, forget ting self, rises nbove self

'owing the footsteps of the world's one

I he vaKt HomatWmHife a ffordeifc a broad
and aeeesniblo field for the spread of a
new religion. The. sceptre of Itonian pow
er ruled the world. Kadiatinir from F? e
as a centre were splendid military road*
winch exfended to the remotest boundaries I
of the emmrc. 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!"

Christ i.Vn faith is a grand cathedral with

Machine to Sew Up Wound3.
A wound-stitching machine is tho In
vention of a doctor named Michel. It
works very much more rapidly than
the old method of ntitcliing by hand,
is painless and effective.
I It consists of a case, or sheath,
: holding a number of rlekel hooks, or
bands, like those used for the corners
of card-board boxes. Tiioy are put in
position with a pair of forceps and
can tie adjusted nt Uio rule of 25 a
minuto.
Their rounded points do not pene
trate tho lower layer of the skin, but
only the epidermis and therefore tho
pain caused by them is very sligh*
They have tho additional advantage
of being very easily disinfected. ?

AN UNMA^EOrJUQVE LETTER.
Trivial Oversight That Wrecked a
Promising Life.
Half a century ago a yt>up# Engllsh
man, while traveling meraaibeautiful
girt and promptly felljra love with
her. A fow dfcys laUff he returned
home, and his BrstJrct was to write
her a love letter. Ia It he told___ho&
that ho could not he happy without
her and that if she regarded his pro
posal favorably ho would expect a re
ply by the next mail.
To this letter ho rrr?|v?fl Tin pt'0?01'
and so ff!Bffi^pioInted~tl,a8 h?h that from
that time until his death, -which oc
curred recently, he annt himself up
in his home and lived like, a hermit.
Most of his time was spent In reading,
and the day after his funeral the heira
began to search the hooka In his li
brary, for they thought It quite pos
slblo that tho eccentric old iman might
have hidden some In iu?in.
They found none. but tnir tattered
old pamphlet they found another kind
of note, the love tetter .whlchrtnm
written fifty years ago, and which the
writer had forgotten to mail.
