Tlio cast civtuo to the cradle of Christ, tbo west en me to his cross. The Magi and tho Greeks represent that en llghteued religious Instinct which. dis satisfied with that which ennuot feed Uie soul, U able to rise above previous educatlou aud prejudice and seek the gratification of Its deepest needs and Us highest aspirations wherever that gratification may be found. These who thus came to Christ stood for that large number of Greek., so frequently alluded to, who; perceiving the vanity of popular rellglou, turned to something more satisfying, nnd found In the synagogue tervlce of tho Jews something which nppealed to Jho cravings of that Instinct for God which all men possess. Attaching tbemelvis more or less to Judaism without sub nilttlng to the religious rites necessary to give them full standing they camn to Jerusalem to worship the God In whom they had como to believe. Hero they put themselves In communication with one of the disciples of Jesus and request an Interview with the man who has created so great a stir In the Itopular mind. Their action may well be regarded by us as suggesting tho cry of an enlightened religious instinct for the personal Christ. Mcru curiosity may prompt such a cry. Now, as then. Jesus Christ Is tho problem of the ages. He Is a person ality that must be explained; a force that must be accounted for. This mau, whom millions love and no one hates, thrusts himself before us In such a way that life Is entirely changed for us after wo meet him. "By whnt au thority doest thou these things" Is a question we must have answered for the sake of our own peaco of mind. "What shall I do with Jesus?" Is tho inquiry of n soul who is confronted by this perplexing personality, this mas terful man. The ago of Inquiry In which we live rinds Its curiosity baf fled by this teacher, whose character defies human analysis, whose truth transcends human philosophies, nnd whose Influence Is more living, more personal, more powerful In. each huc ceedlng age. Eager to wot what God would bare us to do and be, we turn from alf clfe to Jesus. In the hope that at last we can find an authority upon which we cau rest. Appreciation may lead us to him. Be yond mere curiosity a soul has come to kuow euough of Jesus to make him feel that life offers nothing better than the study of this character and life. Moral beauties disclose themselves In such a way as to charm ua. We are fascinated by, his graclousnces, sub dued by his tenderness, moved by bis love. We cease to wonder why It Is that those who reject him vie with those who accept him In laying their tribute of admiration at his feet, and can understand bow It Is that even an lnndol can find the life of Jesus bis highest theme and greatest satisfac tion. The motives which draw us to Jesus may be even deeper than those. There may bs a strong personal desire on our part for Jesus because he has wooed and wou us. We bold him not at ami's length; we look not at him In the spirit of Inquiring criticism; we treat him not as something outside of ourselves, but as dearer to us than all the world; we desire to take blm Into our lives, to reign there king of love and life. In any and erery case that which this religious Instinct cries for Is a per sonality. When the church, by those ruder methods which It once used, tried to convert the world to Christianity, It brought Into Its fold a mass of bar barous and unsplrltual votaries, which left Its Impress upon church life for a thousand years. If tho church Chris tianized paganism, paganism In turn paganized Christianity. As a result, the personality of Christ was largely lost. It Is tho glory of the present time that the church Is swinging back more and more to the personal Christ. As tho din of religious strife subsides there Is presented In now beauty and power this one perfect penonallty. He, and he alone, meets tho wants and answers tho cry of the present day man. It Is an ago of Individualism. The needs of man aro paramount. As tho monarch has gone down, man has gone up. Humanity wants a Christ who deals with ludlvldual men, and who addresses himself to Individual wants. In tho moment of sorrow wo feol for tho hand of the comforter; in EFcnuFinr the hour of louollucsn we seek our companion; In the day of trouble wo wnut the eounel of our friend. There la no im In nil hlMory who satieties us so fully ns Jesus of N'nxnroth, who. ns "Man of Sorrows" and "Friend of Sinners," touches human hearts to cure, to comfort, to cleanse. Systematic theology Is as necessary as the boucs of n man, but those bones must be covered with warm flesh If we are to have n friend. Delight In the study of Christina anatomy must nut rob us of our Uvlug friend, tho matchless Son of Man, Tho wenry, the sad, tho forsaken aro crying to day, as never before. "Sir. we would sets Jesus. CAIIN1.GIK IB CANNY IHtlVKIt. Br Her. Joan Mtrrltt. I am pleased when worklngmen re fuse to patronize tho Carueglo li braries. The great steel magnate has ouly helped those who had no need of his help. He tins been quite as shrewd aud canny In posing as a philanthrop ist an he was In coining the sweat of other men's brown Into the colossal fortune he now claims as his very own. No able-bodied man, not even a preacher, can accept n charity without being debauched in doing so. Capital ists tuny practice cannibalism among themselves without greatly Imperiling the republic, but the very moment tho masses loso their healthy pride and self-respect everything will be lost. The poor man's choking at tho offer of charity and request for honest em ployment Instend Is the strongest proof that he Is still n man. Do not bo deluded Into tho Idea that tho fashlounblo avenues nnd IkiiiIc varda where brown stono fronts and marble palacea prcdomluato nrc tho only or tho most hopeful fields for evangelism. Down on tho Insignificant streets where the middle classes live, down In tho so-called slums where haggard faces peer out of the wlnAow aud nakedness runs and bides, thcro they wait with longing hearts for tho sweet gospel of him who, like them selves, had not where to lay his head. The tolling, struggling, often sorrow Ing massea are not agnostic or atheis tic or anarchistic Tho millions must not bo condemned for the shortcomings of the few In the ranks of labor. The almost numberless masses havo too much head and heart and Immortality and Inherent nobility of soul for such arrant nonsense and folly nn that. The bigot who said In his heart, "There Is no God," was a rich fool, and he said If In his heart because. In the absenco of brains, tfiat was hU ouly resort. My young friends, carry the gospel to the poor. Do not neglect or bo un charitable to or burning shame for get tho poor. The poor yo havo with you always. Win them to Christ. They stand on the doorstep, In the yard, at the gate, looking up and down tho long nnd dreary streets and alley ways, looking for you and wondering why you do not come with the messngu of salvation, Alas, so mo of them are coming to think It Is becauso you aro too selfish nnd haughty and heartless and becauso you so much prefer the rich. V POll A QUIRT HAIlMATjr. By Ktr. Ckarlts W. Tlniley, No nation Is more loyal to the Sab bath than our own. Our foundations wero laid In deep reverence for the holy day. Tho Pilgrims, In 1020, half starved, shivered In the cold, rather than begin their work on the Sabbath. From that day to this there has been "American Sabbath." The necessity for the day Is written deep In man's physical constitution. Like a clock, we run down. The sleep of tho night Is not enough. Tho seventh day Is re quired to "knit up" the raveled steeve of care." The manual toller needs It. The holy day Is the north star of his deliverance from Sunday slavery. The homo needs It. Tho highest typo of home life demands Sabbath observ ance. It Is no accident that the world map of safe popular freedom Is mndo up on tho Sabbath keeping nations. Tho Sabbath is tho Gibraltar of law and order. It Is simply patriotism to keep It. . . It Ih being attacked by Insidious foes, Sunday malls aro wholly unnecessary. They compel the labor of thousands of men who are entitled to their Sabbath, The Sunday newspaper attacks It. It displaces what Is vastly more of vnluo than that which It gives. It projects tho secular spirit Into tho Sabbath. So with Sunday amusements of all sorts. It Is not best observed nn a day of umuHoment. Sunday excursion and Sunday baseball will demoralize any town. It ought to be permanently en joined as a violation of an express statute. Hopo Is so sweet, with I fa golden wings that, at his last sigh, man etlll Implores It Do la Peiia. PASSION FOR nEVOLUTIONS, lUpentlnit Nino nnd Cannon lUvs Failed to Work n Cure. If sumo of tho learned scientists who nru dexotlng their talents to tho study of germs would turn their nt tentlou to South America and tho Isl ands of the Caribbean thoy might havo discoveries which would prove n bless, lug to mankind In that disturbed quar ter of tho world. Why should tho South American aud the West Indian lake to riot and revolution tin naturally as n duck docs to water, asks the Hub Unions Hun? Is It because they aro of a tlercer and mora turbulent dtuposl. tlou than the Inhabitants of other parts of thin htiulifihere, or Is It. becauso they are the victims of sinister bacilli, germs of rampant and Irreslsllbl stranuoslty? Not long ago an American savant announced tlint In certain parts of the United States there Is a bacillus which ninkes Its way Into the bodies of Its unfortunate victims and produces nn Invincible ntendou to physical aud mental activity. If there Is a germ of Inertia, why shouldn't there bo n bacillus of pernicious activity nnd mis directed Htrcmuxlty as well? It Is not fair to tho South American brethren to assume that they nra totally de praved; that they engage In throat cutting aud other bloody diversions from pure lore of doing evil. In somo degree, at least, they have been under tho Influence of American ami F.uro pcan civilization for a great many years. To some extent they have In troduced tho forms of civilization Into their governments and social Institu tions. Yet, drsplto their contact with citizens of the moit enlightened nations and their commercial and diplomatic relations with Kuropo nnd tho United States, they have scarcely moro re spect for law and order than tho human race displayed In tho days of prlmltlvo man. If there nre bacilli In the western hemisphere Indigenous to the tropical rcgloiiH which Inelto a people against Its will nnd natural dlxpoiltlon to com mit deeds of violence aud murder sav ants ought to 1 able to II ml a remedy. ' Tho antidote commonly uitil In rases of pernicious atrenuonlty has not prov ' oil a success, llcpcatlng rifles, bay' oneta and cannon havo failed to workj a cure. When the South American has Introduced the germ of revolu-j tlon nnd riot Into his body nothing will deter blm from stirring up trouble j not even the fear that ho will bo shot or bayoneted to death. When ho j Is under tho luiluenco of tbo bacillus' of strenuonlty and tlint seems to b a chronic condition with him he I llko tho Malay fanatic who runs' amuck, killing right and left. The scientist who discovers the remedy for this would bo one of tho greatest tri umphs of this century If tho ever-war , ring Inhabitants of the I.ntln-Amerlcun republics ami of Haiti were Inoculated with the Imclltl of slothfulncs and re duced to a slate of Innocuous lunetlvj Ity. The Implements of wnr liavo' failed fo produce the desired result. Now let science take a hand aud If ImmsIIiIo transform the turbulent folk of the tropics Into peaceful nnd law alibiing citizens of tbe new world. Whnt IMuoatlon Tenches. Tim frnnf tltln.
