The face is the story of the life, peculiar
to itself, having no exact duplicate.
Yet, with all the variations there are
types of faces, some that you would
trust, some that repel, the face of the
upward, life and the face of the down-
ward trend. •
SO IT IS, WITH'RELIGION.
It is not machine made. It is not a

affairs of the state, receives the orders
of the sovereign and keeps up the corn-

3. Great questions. The three lessons
with respect to the trial and execution
of Jesus are deeply emblematic of The
progress of life. Every one is o0 trial
in, this world with respect to who he is
and what he has done, and the answer
these questions points to the path of
destiny. These were the questions
raised concerning Jesus. Before Cala-
plias was asked the question, Who was
he? and before Pilate, What has he
done? These also are vital questions
with respect to every man. The first is,
What is Mis relation to the divine? Is
he an immortal soul, an undying spirit,
a son of God? The second question
with respect te Monan action is practi-
cal. Human character depends upon
doing, and its perfection turns upon the
question of right or wrong. It stands
related to Jesus who is the supreme ex-
ample of human conduct. Subjection to
his spirit is the final te-st of character,
and obedience to las' teaching and, ex-
ample - is the credential ot the soul.
Over the way of life, which leads to
perfection of character he reigns as
King.
The lesson of the crucifixion 18 the
lesson of destiny. It is the great sym-
bol of the final experience of humanity.
Life ever is to be born, to have angels
with heavenly promise hover over eits
cradle, to be waited upon by kings in
infancy, to be subject to the conditions
of childhood and youth, to hear the
"voice crying in the wilderness," to
yield obedience to lifete 1111851011, to fast
in a wilderness, to fight temptation, to
go forth and share the common lot, to
endure the common burdens, to achieve
transfiguration, and wait in Gethse-
mane, to find its Calvary and its cross;
yet with all this it is to retain unfailing
love to man.and unshaken trust in God,
and submiesive to return the dug "to
the earth as it wee, and the spirit . . .
Unto God who gave it."
4. Life. Tato lesson of the risen. Lord
is the climax of the Christian story. It
is the reasort for character arid the 01 -
planation of life. In the presence of the
"Morioes resurrection and ascension,"
"the cross and passion, the precious
'death and burial.' seem to be shadows in
the night yielding "to the dayspring
Morn on high.' •
