grating into Canada to escape the
intolerable religion; and econom
ical conditions created by the
present government of Russia.
Many of these refugees are of

experience hag taught the auth
orities that they are tho type best
fitted to develop the vast Cana
dian prairies.

these colonists, caring for their
needs until they are established
and providing them with neces
sary religions care. Wednesday

dergo will be gratefully received
at the church parlors or at the
parsonage next door to the west

llgious books. The only two
groups which exceeded religious
biography, which is recognised as
one of the most popular classes of
literature at the moment, totalled
8 less than the religious book
total. Exactly 43 1C religious books
have been published in the last
five years, and religious titles
have been either second or third
on "the list of classifications each
year. It is interesting to note that
in 1920 and 1910 religious books
stood fourth on the list in 1909
sixth.
One reason given for the large
sales of Bibles is the modern
church teacher's insistence on
each member of the household
having his own Bible. A recent in
novation in Bible publishing is
the substitution of colored bind
ings, rich reds, purples and blues,
for that sombre black which was
considered the only suitable bind
ing for so many years. Another
striking change is brought about
by the use of bold face typo In
some editions, which is considered
more readable than the lighter
types.

BENEFIT PLANNED
FOR MILL CHURCH
A Week's
Mystery of Godliness
By REV. W. N. COFFEE
(Pastor Market Street Free Methodist Church)
Text: I Timothy. 3: 14. Perhaps the Apostle is acquainted
with the celebration of the Eleusinlsn mysteries, and may refer
to them here. Evidently he is aware that many are attracted to
the mysterious, and he here sets forth the fact that Christianity
has Its mysteries greater than any celebrated by the Greeks. How
ever he does not speak of them merely to arouse curiosity, but
to stimulate investigation. He speaks of six mysteries associated
with the Christian religion.
1. God manifest in the flesh. Here we have the profoundest
mystery of the gospeL The Incarnation, perfect God and perfect
man blended in one personality, spoken of as the hypostatic un
ion, seems inconceivable. Yet when we read John. 1:1-14 and I
John 1:1, this is the doctrine.
This is inseparably associated with the virgin birth, pre
supposes the divinity of Jesus and illustrates an indwelling
Christ for humanity. Without this every other feature of salva
tion is powerless.
1. Justified in the spirit. The spirit of prophecy in Genesis.
Isaiah, and a hundred other places as well as in the types and
shadows for 1500 years, at the baptism of John, and on the Mount
of Transfiguration, in his many miracles, and in the resurrection
and ascention, all testify to his justification In his claims Mes
siahship, Sonship of God, and the deliverer of men.
3. Seen of angels. Herald angels announced his coming to
earth,, others ministered to him in the desert, and In the garden
of Gethsemane, were present at his resurrection and also at his
ascention.
4. Preached unto the Gentiles. These were excluded by the
Jews. Their spirit and practice were opposed to all righteousness.
They were accounted dogs and outcasts by the Jewish people,
considered hopeless and hostile. How could the gospel be preach
ed to them? Would they receive it?
5. Believed on in the world. Consider the character of the
world; remember the reputation of Christ: crucified or executed
as a criminal, his gospel destructive of the spirit and policy of
the world, asking no quarter and giving none, there was little
liklihood that he could make headway in the world. But it of
fered deliverance from guilt and sin and death eternal, and of
fered peace and Joy. and hope beyond this life. It made its way
rapidly.
6. He was received up into glory. There sre no facts bet
ter attested than the death ressurection and ascention of our
Lord. This is of interest to us as it Is the ultimate estate of the
redeemed.
These are the mysteries of the Gospel, and will always hold
a fascination for him who prizes tbe welfare of his soul, and are
thankful for deliverance from sin, and admire him who wrought
that deliverance.
