Christ him•elf. Man has taken hold of the power which Christ tx-stowed and has applied It beyond the opportunities which Christ had to complete the work that be initiated. Christ fed the multitudes; Christ opened the blinded eyes and straightened the crooked limbs; Christ assuaged pain and stopped the chronic of blood. Christ was a great preacher and drew the multitudes about him. Christ fought against the heathenish doctrine that “might right.” Christ was the greatest of all worker* of wonders that tie* world had ever seen. There wss only one Christ There wlU never be another. Yet there are senses, nstdral as well as spiritual, 1u which his promise has l*een kept to his followers, and they have been enabled "through the power emanating from him to do works which surp*' those be did in hfa life on earth. But let It never be forgotten that these •‘greater works" which man has done hare been accomplished only because •Jesus has lived and Jesus’ prophetic words have been fulfilled. In order get a better grasp of this theme let me read to you the full verse In which the words of my lest are found. “Verily. ,verily I say unto you he that bellevetb on me the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall be d*. because I go unto tny Fa-

ther."

Jeans Christ was the amstement of nmasements to the js^ople of his day and generation as a worker of natural phenomena. He awned to his time an peri or -to all natural laws. When he went oot to visit his disciple* in their ship, be did not have*40 use the land, as other people had %/do. He stepped upon the crystal pavement of Lake Galilee as easily as an Alpine climber might rest his foot npnn solid rock, as ■easily as a hind's feet might giqe them selves to mountain crag. When be spoke, the homage of oliedlewce was rendered to him. not alone by tueirln the aynagogue. by Iieoat* of the field and the fowls of the air. but by tbe minds and the waves, lie tolled to the Galilean tempest.

the people in hU day of bis power aa a healer of spiritual ms lad Isa by proving hliuaetf the cleanser of leper spots, tbe opener of blinded eyes and tbe only one of his time who coifld send the sluggish blood of health connring through the withered lluilw of him sick with the palsy. Yet today, as I study Christ the healer of the sick, 1 see that tbe work he did has been token up by bis sud its triumphs multiplied. By tbe word of his power he gave sight to a few blind men. bat In our day tbe Christian surgeons, by their operations, are giving sight to thousands. Tbe virtue from his garment stopped one issue of blood, hut in our day tbe Christian physician, with his medicaments. Is stopping thousands of issues. Christ's touch relieved a few sufferers of pain, but In the hospitals of onr time thonsands pass painlessly through suffering which in former times would have racked them with excruciating torture. If you would learn some of the marvels of man as a healer, read I’r*o/c*sor White's marvelous collection of facts in his book entitled ‘The Wonders of Modern Surgery.” Up to 187U. 80 per cent of all those who had fractured leg or ami with the bone protruding through the skin died. Now. through the discoveries resultant from the life's .work of Kir Joseph Lister, prurtlcnfty all those with fnic-tured limb bones get well, time when a gangrened leg bad to be amputated a shrieking, yelling patient was held down by main strength and the leg cut off as quickly as possible, as a butcher with bis ax would chop meat. Then the bleeding atump wss seared with boiling pitch. Seventy-five per cent of those patients died. Now such ojxfntlona are considered prartliiilly .harmless. A whiff of ether, a breath of chloroform, a deep sleep, a painless operation, and the heavy eyelids open. All the horrors of that operation are a blank. Onr uncles, onr unnts. our parents, our grandparents, died by The luuKtred* of Inflammation of tin' ‘bowels. Along comes surgery and says: “Down on the table quick! Oot with t£at appendix." And today clubs could be foruinj by the hundreds of those who would have died of api<endlciUa unless death bad been driven back at the point of tbe

irgeon's knife.

Bat today are the '• wo ml its of modern surgery" any more marvelous than tbe “wonders of modern medicine?" Is the power of modern medicine to con* disease any more marvelous today than tbe power of modern bacteriologtrul Investigations to |»rerent dla—e? You see Christ stopping here I there to open a blinded eye or to itop a deaf ear or to loosen the heavy and labored breathing of the asthmatic sufferer. But today the Achievement* of tbe healer include than hen; and then; an isolated physical cure. 1 see tbe lights lie thousand* of hospital windows gleaming like tbe stars in the heaven*. 1 see the white robijj nurses and tbe doctors, coming forth as did the angels, of Ith who troubled the water* at tbe pool of Rethesdo. crying to the sick everywhere. “Cbsne and Dr cured of your ailments!" I see thousands and tens of tbonaanda mt strong men and women who would bar* died twenty years younger than they «re non- bad they lived and been sick In the days when Christ lived and be toad seen them not

Africa, with Its murder and rapine and cnnnlbaltstk- orgies, was to build Its altars to tbe worship of tbe fiod." but Christ, aa a physical man. was never to penetrate Into those dark missionary fields. A Livingstone, a Taylor sod a Hartsail werv to «k» that. Europe at that time shaking under tbe tread of tbe Roman legions: North and Booth America utterly un known to civilisation; the Islands of the sea. moat of them unvtattod—all are yet to bow to Christ and come under the reign of love and gentleness and purity and truth. These are to be won through the Instronieutallty of men. Men energised by tbe Holy Spirit are to gain tbe whole world for him. Truly, as we look at such a conquest and compare It with the work that he accomplished In Palestine we sec what he meant when ne said. “Greater tilings than these shall ye do." Christ saw all this future conquest of the world, but as a man he never went away from tbe Palestine hills. He grew up in N'ssareth. He Journeyed from Naaareth a few times to Jerusalem. There at the Davidle capital be was at last led aa a guilty criminal out to the Calvary heights to ignominioualy die. To his followers he left the stupendous task of evangelising tbe world, promising that he would In* with them to the end and that through his power they should be able to win more souls than

he had done.

But though we have been praising man's "greater works" we would have you iiear well In mind this one tremendous fact. No work of man Is truly greater than Christ’s work, because nil of man's greater works are the outcome of Jesus' work. If you read the in which my text l* found you will find tbe whole trend of the thought In tbe one word "l»ecnn*e." “He shall do greater works than these because I go to my Father.*' Because Christ ia in God and God Is in ns i* the reason man is able to accomplish greater work* than did Christ. Never be deluded by the idea that tan in his own strength Is able to dr anything apart from God. Tills Id*-.' to be running riot among mnn.v weak brains. A short time ago I stood upon one of tbe Pasadena hills and looked off upon the mighty peak of Mount I/)we, lifting Itself above tbe clouds. There in the valley at my feet were the California orange gnfves dnd the flower gardens ami the trees •bleb hare made this land famous all around the world. "‘Do you see that little hill yonder?" said a gentlrinan by my side. “Yes.'’ I answered. ‘Tlist hl|l." said he. “looks much lower than we are." “It certainly does.’ 1 I replied. "That bill must he at least three hundred tret below us." “But It la not." be answered. "That hill seem* lower because yonder krfty mountain is back of It Water from that hill flows down to thi* hQL That hill yonder to much higher than we are." ,8o some people standing upon man's “greater works.' seem to think man's throne is higher than Christ’s throne. But it la not. Only as Christ's life in Its influence touches our lives are we able to do tbe “greater weeks" whlah are given m

to do.
