Ill the morning the subject was "Phe Universal Christ," text being OI.1 1:19, "For it pleased the Father that it, slim should all fullness dwelt." in brief he said to Christ's personality and uhuracter there are no limitations. It is possible to read. books and Lail almost conclusively to what age they belong and 111 what age they were written, not so with 011 ist'8 example and teachings they i11.e suited 1)o any age and will be the ideal for all time to come, Let us consider Him lat- That in so far as the laces are con- cerned He is not limited "For in Him w115 neither Jew not.

Each 1110e has a distinctive work that they may be known by. It would be possible to distinguish the Celt front 'Orion and the Tutou from the Saxon but no matter what the distinctive character ally be there is sufficient in the life and teachings of Christ to meet the needs. Ill the 2tid lace -Thera 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 10011. Have you any portraits of yourself 13 he said. Yes, she said. De, i3tnmardo took the photos, and nt(g theta tip in places where he nought the girl *outdate most likely frequent. The girl saw the picture her ntnthei- and on the margin in e1. mother's 'handwriting the words Come Horne." It meited her heart id she went home.
