Him gladly". A favourite word of greeting was "Be of good cheer . ." "Do not be afraid . . ." While Jesus was a "Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief", He was also a man of joy, When Jesus lives in hearts, it means that those hearts and lives take on a new beauty and joy in themselves and in their relations with others. "Let the Beauty of Jesus be seen in me".

The flowers in the sanctuary were from the funerals of the late Mr. Isaac Robertson of Chatham, father of Mrs. William Froats and of the late Mr. Clifford Cobleigh. Our sincere sympathy is extended to the families, "The Attractiveness of Jesus" was the theme on which Rev. Ewart Madden spoke on Sunday. "Jesus increased . . . in favour with God and man". The power and beauty in His life were due to the special Vertical Direction in His life, Jesus became perfectly obedient to His earthly parents because of His perfect obedience to His Father in Heaven. In fact, he said, "1 and my Father are one . . . he who sees Me, sees the Father". Jesus seemed to have a strange com- pelling and redemptive at- tractiveness to many such as Zacchaeus, the woman with the hemorrhage , "If I could just touch the hem of his garment" and Matthew, the publican. Jesus was loved by God and man. It would be a mistake to think that Jesus was separated from people. True, he encountered, in some quarters, a bitter and in the end, a deadly opposition, As someone has said: "Jesus makes people mad, sad or glad", depending on what kind of life we are living and how we un- derstand, or do not understand, the whole ministry of Christ, and its aims and purposes. Most who heard Him speak and saw and experienced His deep compassion, responded to Him with thanksgiving and joy.
