The Christian religion has always talked about the cross, as its cen- tral fact, but it has, nevertheless in practice actually relegated it to a fiction; Vchligious people regard as a charming figure of speech that which they profess to believe to have been one of the sternest rea- lities in the life of their great lead; er. . The eternal tempetation is to ex? llain Jesus of Nazareth instead of ollowing him, to count ourselves as satisfactory if we take what we call the right attitude toward him, avo'w our faith in his attributes - A cC-ngregation composed of indi- x dreary desert of daily life, instead of being 'a' servant in the midst of people, 5. refreshing stream to turn the whole desert into one great garden of the Lord. ~ _ .It is an easy' matter to criticize the church for her failure to go about doing good, for being so enâ€" grossed in her burdens that she has no strength. for those of the world. But criticism'is not cure. And all our criticism is but selfâ€"accusation. .viduals who have been silencing conscience dominant all_ the week will‘be likely to want it soothed by soporific syllogisms-on Sunday. Often the most logical arguments on the divinity of the Lord come 3nd anthoritya and Stand l‘Oady to from the lips of those who lead the defend him with syllogism against all the assaults of his critics. But a teacher’s worth depends not or. the ability of people to analyze him but on their catching his vision and (power. The contemplation of Christ is continually being substituted for (the character of Christ. Men worâ€" ship him by admiring terms, they are judged by their theories as to his divinity, and seldom or. never thy their likeness to his divineness. ‘They mock his character by analyz- ing it instead of making it their inspiration to- seek THE SAME PATH OF LIFE. “Lay our lives beside his and how do they look? Compare the church .with her master, or, better, test it. by the community in which it stands. Do the needy, the sad, the disconsolate, the erring, the per- plexed, seek it out“.l Is it to them an asylum, a refuge, a living loving friend? This is the test of Chrisâ€" tianity. No matter how ornate its building, how elegant its services, how orthodox its doctrines, the church is worthy only as it moves amongst men as their burden bear- er. What need is there to. remind «ourselves how unlike to this many churches are? Often the stained glass serves but to hide the sight of squalor and the peel of the or- gan to. drown the wail of woe. It seems a thing apart, set to save inc-st diabolical lives. THE CONSTANT DANGER is that we shall substitute the logic of a theory for the living of its [principle It is of no value to this world to prove that a man once was divine if men are not to-da‘y actu- ally becoming more divine. Living is .religion’s most convincâ€" ing logic. In the field of metaphy- ‘sics most minds wander as in a maze; in the field of character and conduct even a child finds the way. They who love do not need to argue about. love; they who live its faith can let it speak for itself.- No one makes any mistake who- reads the religion of a. life. Both these who are seeking to a force a “Shibboleth” on the world and those who are criticizing the church for her vain pretenses are wasting time. The day is so short .and human need so great; thepnight comes soon when we can no longer show the right life and the true love for one another. Why waste our hours debating over history, seeking agreement on words? If we really desire the best and holiest things, if we. seek the heav- enly life for all, must we not lay aside he weapons of mutual co-n- .ili-c't and take up the tools of hu- [man service?

The Jerusalem elders, while recognizing and confirming the l'bâ€" cr'ty of the Gentiles, as guaranteed to them by the great council, urge upon Paul a course which may dis- arm his accusers of their preju- dices. In short, he is to ally himâ€" self with some humble Nazirites (see Num. 6. 1-21’) and complete with them the final purificauon ceremonies of a vow which they had assumed. As an evidence of good faith, he is to pay for all the sacrifices, and remain in the temâ€" ple until the full ordinance is ob- served. In this way the disaffected will see he does not neglect the law, and he himself will contradict none of his own teaching or practice, as he has already declared himself willing to become all things to all men, for the sake of the gospel, to the Jews becoming as a Jew, that he might gain them. 27. Seven daysâ€"The appointed time for the fulfilment of the vow in the seclusion of the temple. 28. Against the people, and the ,law, and this placeâ€"A threefold charge, namely hostility to the Jews themselves, contempt for their law, and desecration of the temple. This last charge was supported by a declaration that he brought Greeks also into the temple. This reference to Trophimus (verse 29), one of Paul’s Companions, .a Gen- tile from Ephesus, was, of course, unfounded. The “Court of Israel” was distinct from the outer court, known as the “Court of the Gen- tiles,” and separated from it by a high wall, with inscriptions threat- ening death to all Gentile intrud- ers. Though Paul was not actual- ly a subverter of the Mosaic law, he had preached that a man was saved by faith in Christ and not; by words of the law. In the end this would lead to a disregard of the law even among the Jews. 30.

This, with the gesture made by Paul, would really gain the great silence among Orientals. Chapter 22, verse 1. The defense â€"Paul made four points in his own behalf: (1) that he was a Jew by birth and training, and had been zealous for the law to the point of persecuting the Christians; (2) that his conversion came through a diâ€" v1ne intervention, and was con- firmed by a later revelation to Anaâ€" mas; (3-) that after his conversion be continued to worship in the temâ€" ple, and received a vision there; (4'; that because of the unbelief of the Jews, God-had sent him to the Gentiles.
