Verse 1$. The missionary character
of hlsrellgTOnJesus Impresses in ma
prayer. 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.
