Borne fooiian writer naa juai dleoovered that Jesua "never preached a universal religion," that such a con struction of his purpose Is due to St. Paul's mlsconeeptton of his - mission. But every word of the Master seems weighty with e world messsge. .The world was not to come to the church. The church is sent out to the world. It Is not sent to this family or that race or some favored nation. In his prayer Jesus prays for his disciples es for men who had a meaaage to mankind. Verse It. ' Jesus did not make him self holy but he made himself sepsrate We sanctify that which we reserve for sacred purposes. There were many laudable purpoaes for which .Jesus might have lived. He might have widened the domain, o. cal suffering. He might have instituted schools or xovernmenta. But he sanctl- fled hlmaetr, set Mmeejf rH, tnr spiritual usee, that his disciples might do the aame They would to this when they-should-come to realise the truth ex pressed In the life of their Redeemer. -Verae 10.

Verse 21. The prayerrof our Savior exalts to the first place the nnity of the church. But formal -unity - Is a little thing. . Jesus could recognise a Ttmlty where his dlsclples-thought to-eee-onty divergence (Mark lx:3S-(0). Externala count for ?ery,llttle wlth our .Lord, but the unity which la born of a common faith, common purpose iand . common hope,' la whirr our Savior commends .nl.OliallV ImnNHllV Verse 23.
