MR. C. DE 9. ROBERTSON--
-MISS E. Y. ROWLANDS.

It is the most stupendous event in the whole history of the world: How can we hope to grasp its full meaning? It has given to men for all time a new idea of God and of Love. We have seen that Love in operation this week. Love of the sick and the malmed, that fountain of healing that flowed to heal and to bless on that last Monday-Love of the truth that could champion pretending in the face of the most subtle arguments and terrific op- position that beset Him on the Tuesday: Love that could pray in solitude on the Wednesday for the unborn multitudes that should be lleve in His name; and Love that yesterday and to-day stooped so, low and climbed so steep a height in the world he loved them until that it passes comprehension- having loved His own which were the end.
Yes, it was the greatest triumph of heroic Love ever recorded in the annals of the human race and when we remember that "He of whom these things were done was Almighty God," it knocks the bottom out of all our pride. Yes, and it sounds a trumpet note in the ears of every man who calls himself a Chri: Jan. It shows that Love means business, that it is not just the sentimental, effortless thing we have sometimes called by that name but a great Divine force that hurls, itself into babtle against all that is cruel and self-seeking-that sees the far off peaks of freedom and

them.
The measure of our devotion to Christ to-day is the measure of our. readiness. We who live in daily contact with a non-Christian people, we who believe that Christ came to deliver men from all fear and sup- erstition, to fulfil the dreams of all luspired thinkers and propheta

He came unto His own, identify- ing Himself with the unnumbered millions, to a people endowed with greater missionary capacity than any other in the earth and this people and His own people received Him not.
He comes to-day in the multitudes, hungering after truth and light; in a hundred fellow- creatures waiting somewhere for our sympathy, our prayers and our, service. "He that receiveth one of such in My namo receiveth Me."! · Love means of business:
