p ale no limitations to
Christ in His 181111ion to men and
woman. Previous to Christ's time
the manly in man was measured by
strength and prowess in war and
women occupied a very inferior and
degraded position. Since Christ's
time the highest, ideal for roan is to
serve others. Wilberforce lost sight
of himself fu his effort tar serve others
Woman %vas lifted up from a degrad-
ed position in life to be man's equal
She must however, exercise self-
restraint, Meekness and Love. She
may be man's equal but not at the
less of womanly virtues. What is
wanted fu young men is not the cold
eourtesy of the street but a helping
hand to lift up. In ...dogleg the morn-
ing service Mr. Boyle made a touch-
ing appeal to his hearers to accept
the life that, Oheist offers. He said
let lee illustrate in some degree the
anxious:yearninggs of the church for
the wayward and erring by telling a
story. A woman in London, who
had lost het daughter in that great
city, Dame to the famous Dr. Bar-
nardo and asked'ltier if he thought
he could find her'-- daughter who
had left hone and had not
returned. Yes I ha said, I think
