This is because the lust,' of power Is abro4d.' All desire to conunand ;- none wishes to serve. A SolOn touching the . height of intellectual desire seeks the influence which such fame secures. A s Lydian king would hate his gold but for the social ',plane to Which it lifts° hirer. The philanthropist doling out his surplus dividends seeks therein the ap- plause of the populace'. Wherein dif- feregthe'rustic whose ambition- is to ee elhe best boxer on the village green .from . the Caesars of the world? Wherein differs the politician from the aocial leader? Are not all striving after the,same idea -to be 'first?

His standard of excellence lies in the ;service of God, not in the service cf Self ; and the setvice of God shows it- self largely in the Service we give our neighbor for His sake. "For the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, .but to minideei'ae and to give his life a 'ransom for mahy." And when the Mas - der .sought to teach this same lesson to His Apostles, He said ;-"The kings of 4arum.., /011.111.. the- Gentiles lord it over them, and the that eeereise authority upon them ar called° benefaelors„ but ye eleell not nb so; buthe that is. greatest among ye let him be as the younger, and he Ara ie chief as he that doth serve."

With Christ, there is no respect of. persona. * '"Whe rank is , but the guinea's stamp." The petty differences of place, riches or , wisdom that obtain here are as .night evtien compared to His atributes, The gems that dazzle, the position that eawes, or the pretences that deceive are of no avail to hide the heart from Ills: search- ing eye. He regards only the inward principle which develops the external action. • ° Our aim, therefore, should be not to seek the hoilor that perishes, but the service that is lasting; to become ser - vans of • God andtry to live 'worthily as examples of Christ's -spirit. And as Jesus was the servant of all that Ile might be a 'great saviour, so also let us who. would be chiefest among His glori- fied ones in the 'kingdom be most like unto Him in humble service and bene- faction. to those in the world about us. 1 • MIMI' EXPEDITION PAILS TO DIS COVER IT. e • Island Supposed to be eltininhelited • 4 1,4 Olind to be Occupied - No Trace of Tre asure.
