An old stun, with hand that

tears of joy, running down e. dusty
road and embracing an unkempt,

mankind has been slow to receive
the significance of the other figure.
to realize that the father, tho one
of infinite solicitude nn:t long suffer-
ing affection, stands for tho most
high. That was a revelation to
that day as it. is to this.
Yet, the very essence of tho gospel
is in this scene. The good news the
world waits to hear, the good news
that will bring this world to its,.
best is this: That the infinite seeks

tnertt than it has had any occasion
to complain of at. the hands of the
.Swedes.
On the death of Ring Ifaco in 1319
tho Norwegian throne passed through
a daughter to the Swedish royal
house, and again in 1380 through
marriage to the Danish. Seventeen
_years later the great Queen Margaret
of Denmark united all three of the
Scandinavian kingdoms by the Union
of Kalmar, which union, so far as
Denmark and Norway were concerned
subsisted up to 1814, when tho Con-
gress of Vienna transferred the lat-
ter kingdom to Sweden, a transfer,
however, which was resisted by the
Norwegians under the leadership of
Prince Christian of Denmark, who
had been chosen King. When, sub-
sequently, Prince Christian abdicated
King Charles XIII. of Sweden was
accepted by the Norwegians for their
sovereign, but not until after he had
recognized the extremely liberal Con-
stitution which they had proclaiuto1.
In 1821 the Norwegians abolished all
titles of nobility. It is unquestio•t-
ably to the liberal institutions which
have been operative under the new
regime. and not to tho substitution
of a Swedish for a Danish dynasty,
that wo should ascribe the astonish-
ing revisal of commerce, prosperity
and culture which has been witnessed
in Norway during the last fifty
years.
There is no reason to doubt that
Norwegian progress will continue,
now that absolute independence hes
been achieved. No reactiounry iu0.1-
<ewe need bo apprehended _from a
Danish ruler. It is true that in Dee -
mark the sovereign was invested with
absolute power from 1000 urea
1831, and more than once duri.tg
that period the national rights of
Norway were disregarded. Now, on
the other hand, Denmark itself has a

had failed. Then this fearless voice
rings out its new message; the
hearts of man are stirred, ancient
delusions and hoary customs are
shattered, and their custodians
tremble and rebel. '1'he voice de-
clares that (ho power that lies be-
hind
o-hind all things, the mighty spirit
whom all men dimly know, is a fa-
ther, sa friend, a lover.
That was the first clear statement
of the truth that has since lifted
every glorious life. It crystallized
the hope of mankind, (ho hope that
there is, working through all tho
forces of this world and above and
behind all our lives and affairs, ono
who is touched with n feeling of our
infirmities, who is guided by the in-
tent to do us good and whoso dut-
measurable might serves that enol.
It makes little difference whether a
man believes in the existence of a
god if that belief means only agree-
ment to a 1heo.y; it may mean dam-
age if it involves subservience, fear,
nod trembling. Ilut It makes all the
thI erence what a man believes con-
cerning his god. Ile faces life with
courage. ho serves with sacrifice if
be believes that this universe but
veils a power staking for all ho
knows to ho best, winning his love
and lifting his life.
Piety is always personal. An idol
of stone is as good as a god whose
only glory is that be does not sin.
But how readily life answers to life
when man finds that a heart of feel-
ing, of glorious affection, is with us,
that the all t. iso is tho all loving,
that moro than man could over long

COD LONGS FOR MAN.
It fs Goa coming to man that
brings man to God. tho touch of the
human in the divine that makes di -
vino the human. Man needs no per-
suading to lovo when he knows he is
loved. The sin of the churn li is in
seeking to keep its god afar oIT, in
trying to incite reverence by remote-
ness. Never will wren be won to
God and right and truth, never will

and the husks with the swine until
they seo God conning down to em-
brace them. And then the love light
in his eyes shall tell how ho has

Man's unsatisfied longing is for
love. humanity finds its home, its
abiding place, when it conies to
know that kindness, coumpassion,
helpfulness, sympathy, the joys of
glowing friendship, are the supreme
and over -shadowing attributes, the
eternal glories of the Lord who
