The Revised Version has "in us," and.
the Margin "in your ease," which is
the true meaning. God sent' his only
begotten Son into the world. This is
John's favorite way of describing the
incarnation. Christ was ander com-
mission to do certain work. Christ was
the "only begotten" Son; he was also
the first-born Son. Rom. 8. 29; Col.
1. 15-18; Heb. 1. 6; 28; 12, 23; Rev,
1. 5. The one phrase is character-
istic of John, the other of Patti. The
one emphasizes the unique relation of
Christ to God the Father and his dis-
tinctness from created things, the
other emphasizes his existence before
created things. But we are to ree
member that behind all these.' phrases
of the apostle's, there exist facts that
our human intelligence cannot fath-
om or define. 'We cannot thin !of
God either as Father or, Son without
poetically attributing human form,
human modes of acti.rity to him- the
hand of God, the eye) of God, the face
of God, his chariot and his fatherhood

MOMMEMENE.
It was a dark winter night, and
it was snowing furiously. On a lone-
ly road, five miles from,' the city lim-
its, in a very plain house, there was
a single light burning, In the kitchen.
This lighted up the flickering path iz
the doorya.rd. There were only two
womme in the house, and the severity.
of the storm gave thene anxiety. Ai
resounding knock .quite startled
them. Timidly opening the door, they
saw standing there a man, bearded,
white, uncouth, almost repulsive in ap-
pearance.
"Don't be soared," be said,. reassur-
ingly, "but me and my partner are
almost exhausted. We re driving a
lot of cattle to the slaug•hter-house,
and haven't had anything to eat since

tle, They'd lay down in the snow

The two women, timidly, and, with
some hesitation, invited the man into
the house, and seated. hint by the
stove. Hot tea. was immediately made,
and the only piece or meat in the house
was at once disjointed for, the strang-
er to eat.
"You see," he explained, "we stopped.
at the big house above bore, and knock-
ed at the front doore The gentleman,
he sent us to the kitchen, but the cook
bad a toothache, and she slammed the
door in our faces; but. the boss meant
all right, I guess."
In a short time, warmed, fed, cam -
forted, with a supply of food in a
package in his hand for his mate, the
cattleman feced the storm again'.
"Thank ye,"'ete stammered; "I'll never
forget your kindness If ye hadn't
done it, dunno how long we'd have
stood it." a •
Professor Drummond once told a
story a an offieer of an Behan coast-
