distinctly. But in Himself Christ opens to all men common grounds of grace, inviting them to be reconciled through Himself to God. This is the supreme opportunity and privilege above all others, and when it is laid open to all smaller distinctions cannot permanently divide.

If Christ is as free to the Gentiles as to the Jew, the old dividing wall between the two is undermined at the foundation. If the slave has as full rights in Christ as his master, it is clear that the differences between them are only accidental and bound to pass EWAY. The Brahmin cannot continue

to look down on the parish if once he admits that Balration is as free and full to the lowest caste as to the highest, neither can the pariah go on regarding the Brahmin as a higher order of being. The gospel of Christ is the sure and certain solvent of caste among men, of spiritual caste first and fundamentally; subsequently and consequently, of caste political, intellectual and even social that ultimate and inveterate refuge of Satan in the life of man. Where Christ enters these things cannot, endure. Deeply rooted though they be in immemorial custom and ingrain- ed selfishness, the foundation of them is gone.

Uniformity and standardisation P are neither the destiny nor the duty of nations which come to walk in the light. General Smuts, speaking of the British Empire, said once that it "does not mean unity (he must have meant uniformity) or standardisation, or assimilation, or denation alisation; but it stands for a richer, more various life among all the nations that compose it." That is true, and upon its con- tinuing to be true the con- tinuance of the British Empire depends. Further, was not the recent war fought for the
