Dorothy?” «Yes—she’s coming." Dorothy’s clear-cut features looked very discon tented. “Why, I thought that you wanted her to come, dear—there was no obli- i gation to ask her, you know.” “Had to—the Rayriers are old ; friends. Hope Bob Welford will get ■ here in time.” “I hope so. too,” said her mother. Days passed until two weeks had gone by with the garden party loom ing in the near future. Madge Ray nor arrived. So came the night of the garden party. The Blaine place was a thing of beauty with its tall trees, its high hedges and red brick walls. Chinese lanterns swung everywhere and there was a gayly striped marquee where a gypsy fortune tefler sat. The Representative Man and Men By REV. JOHN C. PAGE, D. D.

Bob placed his hands on Dorothy’s shoulders and looked senrchingly down into the wide dark eyes. “Mow come;- Madge?” lie asked. “She said so—that you trailed her all over Europe—and everything—” “Everything, including being en gaged to her while I was in love witli another girl?” “I thought site meant that,” mur mured Dorothy, “though she did say feet man in the one person of our Lord Jesus, and He, in our redeemed and glorified humanity, “appears in the presence of God for us.” Believe this and rejoice in it always. When Aaron wen* into the presence of the Lord he was ceremonially per fect. Through the atoning sacrifice which he >ffered for himself and the people, and by the putting on of holy garments, typical of the perfection of Christ, he stood before Jehovah in the most holy place and was accepted. On the breastplate which he wore there were engraven th£ names of the twelve tribes of Israel. The high priest was a representative man. He represented the twelve tribes and every person in each tribe, high and low, rich and poor, strong and weak, old and young, learned and ignorant. They were all represented by him and accepted in him by virtue of the aton ing sacrifice offered by him. These things are written for our learning. Like a great index linger they point to Him who offered one sacrifice for sins forever, and who now appears in the presence of God for us—our representative man. our great High Priest, and in all His matchless perfection every humble believer on Him stands and is accept ed. This must be seen clearly and appropriated by faith readily. Tljen we shall “rejoice in the Lord alway. ’ and sing in all sincerity: Jesus Thou Joy of loving hearts, Tnou Fount of life.
