whom I am chief." Whatever we may
think of this :verse we 'cannot read
It 'intelligently without 'feeling that
Paul felt its importance. The great-
est event in ell history was the' com-
ing'into this world of the Lord Jesus
Christ. As an event it is without s
rival all down 'through the ages. The
people of Palestine were not at all
conscious of what was taking place.
When We reeall the mother of Moses
of Samuel, Spurgeon, Abraham Lin-
coln.. John Wesley or Martin Luther
had they had a vision of tku lives
of these men how they would have
been thrilled. What would have been
the sfeelings of Mary if she had some
conception of ' what Jesus Christ
meant all down throagh the ages.
'With the birth of the men just men-
tioned at marked 'the beginning or
their lives, but •the birth of Jesus
Christ did not not mark lies beginn-
ing. it reached back through the
ages. With some heathen religions
the soul had its beginning in a bird
a reptile or a beast. We do not ae.ept
the theory of the pre-existence of
the soul, but when we none to Jesus
Christ Ave do except his pre-exist-
ence.
In the -vast 'universe there is one
part that appeals to Christ in a mys-
terious way and that is this world.
When we think of the world in com-
parison with the universe it is a.emal
part.; it is like a grain of sand on
the seashore and a drop of water in
the ocean. We hear man spo'lson oe as
the !crown of creation; this catalog-
uing of man 'puts him in his, proper
place and it is for this reason that the
special interest of Jesus Christ goes
out to this world of ours, because it
is there hat man works out his des-
tiny. In his observation of the people
occupying this world God looks down
upon a sinful, deseased world, men
who are out of order and degraded.
'When eve think of God we; are re-
minded of one characteristic of His
nature and that is the quality of
love and redeeming grace. So while
he Rooks down upon this world to
condemn the evil, so he looks down in
compassion, a constructive energy
which drives Him closer to humanity
and 'we have the mysterious express-
ion of the Divine in the Incarnation.
if we want to find the greatest com-
pliment that was ever paid to the
high ;possibilities of man we 'have it
in the fact of Jesus Christ, laying
himself upon the altar of humanity
The 'question comes .to us he it poss-
eor (God to relize Himself in hum.anity
is there scope that God can manifest
himself in the human form? There is
a self reduction in taking upon him-
self our humanity, but there is no
self -reduction in love and mercy.
When eve speak of the Lords Jesus
Christ coming into the world to save
sinners. There is a wondrous fact
that shines out that Jesus identifies
himself as a sinner. Thee does not
mean that Jesus became a sinner.
There 'was one thing that did not
find' a lodgment in His life and, that
was sin. He was changed with being
a sinner, .a glutton, a wine gibber, a
malefactor, but these were false. At
the !close of IT:is life He uttered; the
words, "I have finished the work
Thou has t given Me Co do." We are
comforted by ;the fact of the sinless:
ness of Christ. We take Paul, and he
confessed himself doing what he
ought not to do, but there is
no 'confession on the part of Christ.
Christ recei•ced the iba.ptism of John
and thereby identified Himself with
the world of sinners, but immediately
after the baptism in His severe temp-
tation He did not yield to sin. When
we look into the public life of Christ
be was abundantly acquainted w>'t:h
sin. INlalaee, conspiracy, and every ex-
pression of hatred 'came pelting about
the life of Jesus Christ culminating

tremely popular with his 'comrades
and always performed his d.uties
faithfully and well. In olosing, • I a-
gain wish to express my deepest sym-
pathy and regrets.

(,aee Miss Edna Dow) arrived home

pital work in England later going
