But. have boei) able to do had she hail this Cliiist for her Saviour?” Then me thinks I see the ceiilm'.uii anxiously look into Tibe: i.i- face and say; "< up tain Tiberius, do you believe that this Jesus will forgive me, even me?

Julius. This t’hrist can b<* your Ghrist for in my own hearing, after Jesus rni ed my sick servant. I heard him say to a great crowd of people who l wore flocking about him near Lake ililee. All that (lie Father giveth iin* Why can we not send him up to on< of tin* Roman school d have him educated to be a grcai orator and a staiesinan?” "Well, mother,” I hear the husband say. “perhaps we can do it Julius ought to be educated. Per hap vw* can cconomiz** a little closer at this end so that tin* boy can spend ii r a oney at the other end for an edu cation.” Thus I see the centurion, then a very young man, enter one of the great Roman schools. I • e him caught there iu the maelstrom of sin. I 'ei,* him, lilm tin* produm] of ''hrl't’s pa I ible. become the vicli’l) of dl kinds of evil associations. I -ee him, like thousands and tens of thousands of young students today, who come from pure. 1 me. eon-eerated Christian homes in this country, enter the large universities of some of "iir great cities and tiii.'ii plunge headlong into all kinds of sinfulness. Then 1 see the young n mi. besotted with drink and evil excesses of all kinds, return to his old home and say: "Here I am. mother. Hen* i am with health gone and character gone and noble spiritual ideals all gone Here I am You sent me from the pure associations of my sisters and my rural home. Here I am. a moral and spiritual degenerate.” Starts Life Anew. Again the seem* ehaug's. I believe this young man. disgraced and socially ostracized at home, makes up his mind to start life anew in one of the distant Roman province . This has been the natural course for thousands of young men of all centuries who have dis graced themselves at home. Then they try to make a new start In a new world among stra gers. You who have heen western i .iners in the old seven tl(*s know what I mean. There In those western mining camps it was the well recognized law that no man should pry Into tin* history of his neighbors. When Bam Houston, the brilliant | young governor of Tennessee, married I to one "f the famous beauties of his state, sudden!' felt that In* was dis graced, w hat fi d he do? Though only thirtv three years of uge. hi* at once \ resigned the gubernatorial chair and i plunged Into the wilderness of Lie far west There, in tin* wild, unexplored regions of Texas, he began life anew When we *v i again of Sam Houston. It Is not as Sam Houston, the governor of Tenues: i‘i*. but of Sam Houston, the president <>f Mn* Texas republic. Thus, as we imaginatively study tin* life of this Roman centurion, 1 see him in dis grace leaving his father’s home. Then I ! see him next in the faroff province of Judaea. There, in the Roman camp of Governor Pilate. I hear him say: “The gods helping me. I will yet make something good out of my life. Yes; I have broken mother’s heart am! mad** her hair white as the driven snow and killed her with grief, but I will yet make her. If she is alive In another world, proud of her way ward son.” This centurion of my text may have come fr m one of tin* purest and the most refined homes of all rural Italy. Then, by the student life of lei i ntioiis Rome, we see ids moral and spiritual life completely wrecked. In this faroff j;. man province of Judaea In* is carm* Ly and pray erfully trying In ihe Roman army to make a man out of himself. Again tin* >. change-. It is now about Lie g ig : q ,\. D Tills Is the thin* when all Lie Jewish world is per plexed and In doubt about a Nazarern* named .b -i. . We are now In the Ro man barracks of Jerusalem This is the officers’ quarters. Before us Gt- the vveil devcioped figure of an officer about thirty e ■fit years of age. This is the former youth of whom we have heen spiMl.ii, y. now a broad shouldered Roman eentur; m. He turus to one o his brother o s and asks: "Tiberiu why are they making such a fuss ah mt this man Jesus? Who Is he? Is he a thii f or an insurrectionist? Has he murdered nn,'ho ly? Why do s o!.l Calaplia'', tin* li::'!i > ri‘" t, ha'e him so? Tell me sonu-i,me about him.” Then I think I sc - ’! ''-rins turn and sharply look about him I begin to surmise that this Tib'.*: : 1 , is a Christian. Per haps he was the Roman centurion who was once stat one*] in Capernaum, about whom Matthew wrote, who had a beloved servant dying from an up patently incurable disease. This sen ant Christ healed. You know the story. Then I think I hear that Christian con turiou tell Julius, his brother officer, shall coine to me, and him that conieth !o i"i* I " ill in nowise east out.’ But again the seem* changes.
