e Rev, A, W, Barker, tr,nk for the cub-
• ,jeer of hisdieconee "Sensitized toward
founding his remarks ou Psalm
48 : 10, "B" still and know that I am
s- God," and Acts 4 : 13, "Now when
d they sate boldness of Peter and John,
• perceived that they were ignorant and
unlearned risen, they marvelled, and
took knowledge of them that they
e had been with Jesus." Theie is open
the part of life to -day a growing need
of becoming silent. It was never
e more needed on the part of the church
and business life than now, "Be still
and know that I am God." Peter and
John were not learned men, but Pet-
er preached with effect on the Day of
Pentecost. John wrote a gospel of
light and love. They were men of
large vision and strong faith and be-
longed to the aristocracy of grace.
Sensitiveness is a law of the body and
mind, also of the soul. There are
those to -day who are sensitized to
to jealousy, selfishness, suspicion,
deceit, falsehood and avarice. What
is the cure P Right about face; a
turning from these evils and facing
the finer forces of life, How can we
become immune to these evils ?. In
the same way as the diseipiee ; "They
had been with Jesus." They had be-
come sensitized to Christ, Before we
can become of service Inc Christ, we
must partake of the fragrance of "the
Rose of Sharon," by communion with
Christ. We should become sensitized
toward reverence for life and toward
Olu•ist's obedience. It is the same
obedience we need if we are to follow
Him. We mast be sensitized with
His adventurous spirit. We must
reach out into higher and greater en-
deavor ; sensitized by Hie spirit of
prayer, of sympathy and love. The
desciples were successful in their work
for the kingdom because "they had
been with Jesus," It is the life of the
missionary that counts in foteiga
lands. No matter how much ed-
ucation a person may have, it wilt
not be sufficient to cope with the
evils of to -stay, unless the life is sens-
itized toward God. It must be said
of us as of the disciples, "They have
been with Jesus and learned of Him."
In the evening, the s-thject was "The
