"Advocate" js as good a rendering as any. For He whom we call the Holy Spirit was sent to be the very Other Self of Jesus, to be to Christians to the end of time all that the Master himself was to | the group who gathered about his person when he was on earth. The { Spirit is the Presence of Jesus: He is Christ fulfilled. What is the Comfort. When a dear one dies, we do not crave a philosophy, but a presence. Unreasonable our grief may be, but it desires nothing else so much as the very self of the departed one. This was the entirely natural, human { | craving of the closest friends of Jesus, to whom he opened 'his heart in that fareweli discourse, They were not convinced that the salva- tion of the world was any compen- sation for their loss of him--just as millions of bereaved parents now- | adays, in the nearness of their pre- | sent. grief, have less thought for the { glorious ends that are being won by the sacrifice of their hero sons than they have for their own loneliness and loss. They want their boys back again ,even though they do not be- grudge them to the holy cause. So the fitting comfort promised to his heart-broken and perplexed as- sociates, by the Leader about to dle was that he would send to them the Presence of the Pdraclete__the One | who was his Other Self. _This For- tifier, this Strengthener, [his Advo- rate, this Comforter, this invisible | but ever near and ever vodal Spirit, | would continue in reality the work |of Christ. He would make them { brave; he would teach them truth; he would quicken their comprehen- sion; he would show them the na- ture of the Father. The w hole work of the Holy Spirit would Be to mag- nify and make plain and precious the Christ who was on his way to a cross, | So we see that Jesus is not among the mortal company of soon-to-be- | forgotten dead, who merely leave behind them a memory--and the neglected graveyards of earth reveal | how brief is that memory. Jesus left more than a memory, for he be- queathed to his dear ones a Person- {dlity and a Presence of power. His bequest was even more than a mess- age into effect. So long as the Holy | Spirit lives, Jesus himself lives. i -- The Sovereign's Other Self. | A few days ago I had the privilege | of chatting with Arthur Balfour, | King George's special ambassador and plenipotentiary to the United | States. He has come to this coun- | try clothed with full power to speak | and act for his" sovereign, He js {OW not his own man. In all things | he is a Representative. His pledges | are binding upon his king . The | White House itself was never guard- {ed with such elaborate precautions | as surround the dwelling where Mr. | Balfour abides. Any affront to him would be an affront to the majesty | of his empire. | In somewhat the same fashion, the | Paraclete came to be the ambassador and plenipgtentiiry of the king who is Christ. We misunderstand both his character and his mission if we attach to him a significance ghostly and eerie. He is conducting nego- tiations with men in behalf of Jesus Christ, who has given him full au- | thority to act in his stead. Any honor done the Spirit, is honor done to Christ. Qbedience to him is obed- fence to Christ. In the most personal and practical way, he stands in all things for our Saviour, to interpret his mind and to fulfill his work, There is an old, old story of an infidel who wrote on the wall, "Jesus | is nowhere." His little daughter copied it, but spaced the words dif- | ferently, "Jesus is now here." That is the basic truth of the lesson. The Redeemer was planning to go from his disciples; but also to stay with them. He had done all he could do by visible presence and audible words. Henceforth he would be pre- sent by the Spirit, through whom he would réveal much that the brother- hood had been unable to hear while he was in the flesh. Time's Magw fying Glass Lincoln and Lee are greater now than they were in the sixties . Wash- ington's glory is far above the mists of misunderstanding that surround him on earth. The power of these three is more effective now that they are dead than when they were alive. Yet they left mo sueh surviving agency as the Spirit who descended after Jesus had arisen. The parallel holds only to illustrate the accepted principle that nearness obscures full vision . Jesus could not have accom- plished as much had he continued to live in the flesh throughout the cen- turies as he has done through the Spirit. Then his power would have been limited by his personal pre- See} now Fon diffused throughout universe by omni-present Paraclete. Few of us busy westerners under- stand the first cause of the division between the Eastern Catholic Church and the Roman- Catholic Church. Two little Latin words added to a eréed split asunder containing | whole controversy is called that ot | 'the procession of the Holy Spirit." Until war laid its devastating hand upon the East, this point was a con- stant theme of discussion in the Le- vant, even among peasants. Our | | "practical" America is not greatly interested in strictly doctrinal ques- j tions; nor sufficiently interested in | i the eternal verities which they repre- !sent. For it is mote important than | any problem of taxation or prepared- ness that we should have a firm grip jon the reality that the Holy Spirit Is |a living power and personality in the world today. # The World Outlook, I like to think of those ponderous i | hydro-electric machines in the depths of the power houses at Niagara as furnishing light and power not only | for great civic enterprises, but also | for small, individual needs. The | very force that brilliantly lights the | | Streets of Buffalo also illuminates | the hall bedroom in. a remote part | {of the city, It sends great electric | j cars whirling over the highways, and | lifts the burden of the sewing ma- | chine from the knees of a tired | woman, So it is with the might of this sent Spirit, who is help for the hurt, | strength for the striving, solace for | the sorrowing and fortitude for the | fighter. The Paraclete's power is for | the succor of saints, for. the lifting | lof the lowly, for the salvation of the | sinner, as well as for the making of | worlds and the reshaping of human | society. He is God at work in our | [ times. | Twice it has been my work to en- {circle this old earth, studying social | | conditions; and now I am starting again around our troubled globe As I have seen the unrest of mankind, | and the deep tidal movements of the | times; and now watch the immeasur- | able resurgance of idealism that has | followed. I can only account for it all by the sincere and simple faith | that the Holy Spirit of God, sent | [to complete the Saviour's mission, is abroad in our day, doing wondrous works . Dazed and incredulous, we behold a new world in the making, a world of. democracy, justice, liberty and peace. These are goals that Justify any war. The great nations have pledged themselves that the world shall be made safe for demo- cracy . Idealism is more than the vogue; it is the deep-running passion of humanity. = All the major con- cerns of life are now spiritual. Public addresses and state docu- ments are a-thrill and a-throb with it, Veriily, "His day is marching on." What means all this other than that the promise of Jesus is being vindicated and that hig Spirit is new- ly regnant? 'This ia, the day of the power of the Paragléte. To be a materialist or a selfist now is to be a traitor to the world and to God. | Letters To The Editor | -- Women on the Farm. Inverary, May 21.4 (To the Edi- tor): I am surprised at a statement I read in the Kings- ton papers some time ago from a gentleman whom I thought was one of Kingston's most intelligent men, suggesting that the women of Kingston go to the country and allow the farmer's wife to work in the field. Now, from what I know of city women, there are few who are capuble of managing or doing the work of a farm house, and I don't think the farmer's wife has any more right to do rough work than any oth- er class of women. I would suggest that the women of Kingster €o into the stores. and clerk, so as to allow the young men of Kingston to enlist. I think the county of Frontenac has done quite as well as the city under the circumstances. There have been three new colonels made for Kingston, and four colonels taken from Kingston to command battal- ions. All those battalions had as many county men as city men, and the 146th Battalion had two county men to one city man, with not one commanding officer from the county, and still the men are expected to en- list in the county and be under a commanding officer from the city. I have no objections to the young men of the county filling those battalions if the men were to spare off the farms, and if there was no shortage of food. There are still more in the county, but if more food is to be pro- duced the men are needed on the farms, and the men from the city will have to enlist. I am pleased that the world at large has commenced to ap- preciate the work of the farmer, who produces the foodstuffs, and I am sorry that the interests of the pro- ducers of foodstuffs are not better looked after in parHament. Is it fair that the government should com- maitdeer cheese, fix the price, and let the railroads, elevators, steamship companies and roller mills control the price of flour which is used for the steff of life? Would it not be only fair, if the manufacturers of cheese and farmers were consulted in the fixing of the price of cheese, they who know the cost of producing. Bran at $40.00 per ton, the price of manufacturing nearly doubled and everything considered, instead of the price being fixed at from 15 to 20¢ it should be at least 25¢ per Ib.
