What think ve of Christ? He wants find out from Hi* disciples, then, what i_

of Hiraaelf He baa left with them,

v hat atamp He has pat upon them. What they think of Him will btf only another name for the record of Himself that His teaching, and demeanor have left printed upon their intelligencAi.' I am trying ”' hare you realize that their opinion of Hi_ that He w»« trying to get bold of was ; one thing definite.'- traceable to the work.ng ir.lluenoe upon them of Hia own presence and aetirity. He'ia not interested to know what they imagine Him to he, nor what they, logically in'er He may be, nor what some one list told them that He ia. He baa been for some lime demonstrating Himself to them by word, act and —iirit, and if they are not altogether like e duck in the water or the or before the sunset., os presumably they are not. this demonstration of Himself to them lisa in some way told upon them, it has lodged something within them, and He wgnu them to give a name to it. Their opinion of Him was something that He had Himself been the means oT making to grow up in them without their oonacioualy having anv port in the matter themselves. It was not something they had borrowed from somewhere nor aomething that they bad

personally striven to acqnhe.

Opinion, then, if it ia anything more than mere quotation, copy of what some one else ham thought, is one of the things thst grows. The influence that starts the conviction will, if it continues to operate, go on adding to that conviction's atmgth and intensity. As illuatratire of thia compare the feebleness 'and timorousness of the convictions of the disciples when they began to believe in Jeaua with what those convictions were when at the end of their course tbev laid down their Urea in martvrdom. That is the natural course of things. It is natural for a flower to continue to grow if it stands in the mine sunshire and rain as that which Ant made it begin to grow. If a flower comes up ont of the ground, groin for a day and then suddenly stops growing and remains as if is, yoa know something ia the matter— either there is a worm at the root or the air too cold or the soil too dry. It i* not natnral for it not to go on improving upon

itself, adding to itself.

It is a sorry condition, then, that a men i- in, that a Christian believer ia in, when he says that he has the same opinion of Christ that be had a year ago. It tells a sad story of the way the year has been passing with him. If tht vine that is twining itself around your treUii clothes itself

It is all rigbf to lie'.ieve in the doctrine of perseverance of tbe.aainta that persevere, but that doctrine. applied in cold literalism, hs* done as .•.uch as any one thing nerhsps to prevent their neraevering. If the motxy a man has in his pocket to-day is thought by him Jo he sufficient to pay all hia delit», defray all his expenses and fecure all desired romfortfand luxuries for an indefinite time to come he will feel no incentive, to going out and earnine a couple of do*-' Isrs to-morrow, and so his confidence in the absolute and everlasting sufficiency of hi< present norket contsinings v,sy easily is sue in bis turning psuner. Those illustrslions only serve to indicate what ! ni-sp by saving thst a man may be s< orthodox as Calvin and as wicked as he know, how The principle we have been disruasn-z also explains wbv it is that so many people who show a good deal of Christian *e»; at the start so soon get tired of being Christians. To hare earnest views of Christ and to lie intensely interested in them and controlled by them cannot, unfortunately, be taken as a certain •jgn of the rotftinuanrr of that interest. Tiie falling off. the coil ing down of Christian enthusiasm 's com mon experience. Even the disciples, at Jesus' temporary withdrawal from them at crucifixion, threw up th» whole matter, resumed their old life and wen' back te their fishing. Interest is not self-suslain ing. Enthusiasm. like s burning ean-ile, consumes itself in its own heat. The sun. so rstrnnomera Jell us. would hum it*elf oat and oar avsteres fall hack into original darkness were not anecia! provision nude for keening up the sun's tempetature. At the same time there are lines of ef fort and employment where interest, on the contrary, never docs seem to flag, where heat is not only maintained, but with a merrurv that is rather steadily on the rise. Setting aside the familiar ami rather shop worn instance of the money getter, who, the more lie gets, the intenaer. a* a rule, becomes hia ambition to get. that is on!'- one of the manr pursuits where the like enhancement of interest, mounting nn in many cases to the height of a steadilr growing passion, is seen t" evince itself. Examples of thia are. I should say, especially frequent amonc scholars devoted to the scientific investigation of nature and nature's beauties and marvels. But in the instances of such »d ranting and afeadily intensifying interest the particular fact l wou'.d be* you to nn lice is that what keeps the investigator'e heart glowing with a warmer and warmer fervor ia not the emr of facta that have been brought distinctly within the range of his knowledge, that he has been abi* definitely to tabulate, and of which i_ spme time past he baa issued a complete and finished catalogue. It ia the constant stepping forfirard on to new ground that keeps his thoughts alert and hia heart aglow. Whatever i( be, the old alwava tiresome, only the new is interesting. Tc the naturalist the wnrld retains its fascination, although an old world, bees use _of the deeper entrance he day by day gains into that world and the ever fresh disclosure* of newly discovered wonderfulneaa. i beauty that she thereby makes oVfr him. In the same wav there are certain books that we read and re-raad- In ■ wax tbsy are old books, but it ia not toeir old nesa that fascinates us but a certain Lating newness that lay beyond the of our previous perusals, as eyes that look quietly and intensely into the night-sky see stars that are sunk too deep in the firma rnent to be canght by a first and easy glance. And that suggests the old hor book. the Bible, which ia always new anwhich the church always loves, because there ia that in it always which our last reading was only on the edge of discovering. U.the church should ever come to the end of the Bible it would throw it away. Some people have thrown it away already; aome who teem to themselves to bs Christians hive thrown it atray; it see to them they hare come to the end of To them there is nothing

it awayl when it ia dark, hut o All of this leads up easily to an explanation of the (act stated a moment ago that ao many who have begun to be Christian* pet tired of being Christians after a while; u '— 1 *- offer them anything new can attach and by which therefore enjoyment can be kept alive. They reached a littie conviction aa to the real import of Christ, entered into a certain amount of relation with Him. bad a degre of experience of Him. learned a little jI what He could do to strengthen in weakness. brighten in darkness, comfort ia sorrow and disappointment, and then everything stopped. Instead of "going on to know the Lord,” drawing closer and closer to Him, and pressing torward into the deeper and deeper meanings involved in His Spirit, presence and companionship, they drew up all that part of the matter, ruminated only upon such little prospect aa had opened to them, till they became weary of it, drank the old cup of consolation till its waters became stale, munched the drying crumbs of light, strength and

value of personal religion it — nothing if not uninteresting, and people win not. if they cun help it, permanently commit tbemeeirea to a courae of drudgery, even if that drudgeiy be baptised by so honorable a name as Chrimianitr. Closing thia morning with the prayer that we may all of ua feel ourselves moved by a reverent and holy ambition to break free from tbe burden and entanglement of all tbe petty and non- withared experience* garnered long ago, entering into ever nr~ prospects, info larger discernments, into i ever wider worU of knowledge, comfyrt and anticipation. To this end may t have with ua in our cloarta and in o sanctuary gatherings tl.s abounding Sou of God tbe Father and of Hia Son Jes_.
