In this day of lorre worship it is timely i uplift Christ as the vitalizing energy of imaaitr. It is ] ertinent to emphaaias the deathlea* power that resides in Cbristiauitv. It i* inter iting to watch it toar*iuo like a phoenix from the aahea of Jerusalem, smiting like r mailed giant tbe forces of the Graeco-Rom* a civilixation, sweeping like a white-winged inpel of mercy beyond the Alp4 and the Rhine, and scattering glorious benedictions upon Scandinavian, Celt and Saxon; to watch it aa it catrie* tbe same beneficent potencies to tbe dark continent* and hermit nations of our own time, and bleaaing with its exhaustless bounty attic and cellar, avenue and alley, and parlor and schoolroom, and market place of latter day civilization. In thia hour of culture crate it is timely to mark the unique wisdom of the Christ and to note that through all the ages a train of gifted miods has brought tbe treasures of their life and laid them at the feet of Him who waa cradled in tbe Bethlehem manger; to ibserre the masters of tinman thought lowing with wondering homage before the sweet and the clarity of Christ's insight; to remark how the boldest of tbe skeptics

; they pass within the charmed circle of this singular personality. But when I see one who dwelt in the light of the face of God hastening down into the shadows and miseries of this stricken earth; when I behold St/SCs 5KV^nx i r,fi wear, etainsd with woe and broidered with tears; when I behold Him who was tb* centre of angelic adoration, in pathetic loneliness, becoming a target for the acorn of the world, despised and rejected of aR mgn, apurned by bteots in the tribunal of Hi* people and buffeted by brute* in the guardroom of the Roman; when I mark the boh of doom that was whistling in its flight towsrd my heart bury itaelTin the boiom of His love, and all thi# for me, for me. a «ioner. then I am Hi*. Then, if ever, the elemental depths of being are stirred and a loyalty of affection is enkin-

dled that knows no swerving.

r clewed His minstry among the Jew* i 12: 40). And now Paul, as if himself --—iasipned by,the Holy Ghost as a prophet of the Mew Testament, sadly redeliver* the same menage, enforced br the awful emphasis i! the Master's double utterance. Thua the apostle, under, divine direction, formally and finally seals up the gospd offer to God's disobeditnt and rejecting people. In this fearful pr there are three distinguishable agencit prenly described: The ministerial ai

and tbe suicidal agency of tbe oeonle themselves. Unto the Gentile*.” Paul waa never discouraged. If the gospel was re{''ffer^t'to* th °* people *"** ready Paul's residence and ministry in Roms (vs. 30, 31). 30. "Two whole vears." Why he wa* not prosecuted before the emperor during this time is not known. As there wa» Bo prosecution Paul was suffered to"Jfve-ih quietness and safety. Nothing certainly is known on tbe subject. It is evident, from 2 Tim. 4: 18, that he wa* at some time arraigned before the emperor, but when, or what was the decision, or why be was at last set at liberty, are all involved in impenetrable obscurity. SI. "Preaching — and teaching.” Psul did a great work during these two year* in Roms: 1. He preached th* gospel to all who came to him. 2. He wrote several epistles which were by far the most impnrtant part of hU prison activity.
