He said that these changes he believed, were eventually for the better. , Most of us have a feeling of doubt to the many changes in the 19 years since he had left Durham. Changes in families and surroundings, in roads and His evening text was taken from the 14th chapter of Mark, the 9th verse: “Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throug- out the whole world, this also that she hath dime shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." We are in a world Our eyes need to be Opened to be- hold the beauty of the Lord our God. “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us." Moses gave himself to God for the people and when they saw him, his face shone. There is a delight in doing the kind of work God would have us do. The beauty of the Lord gives us power. If we do our work with delight we shall have power to bring the love of Christ to a world dying for it. Christ did not turn to political agi- tators of His day for help. He spoke to the common people who heard him gladly. Today it is popular to make light of the church, but the great lead- ers of men come from the church. We still need religion. We need to know what God would have us do. The Ox- ford Group, of whom we hear so much of just now. proclaim the need of know- ing God’s will, and point out that to know it gives us tremendous inspir- ation. " Even laymen recognize this. Baldwin at the time of the Ottawa Conference pointed out that the great mission of life is not simply a tariff arrangement, or a union of all dominions. but that the great thing is to build up the King- dom of God onearth. This is a strik- ing thought coming from one who is a layman, yet politicians and others found 'fault with him for speaking of eternity when men are seeking some- thing definite for today. What in the present day makes us weary and despondent? First, the great- ness of the task before us. We are wil- ling to make great sacrifices to' attain lesser objectives, but we hesitate at the great sacrifice necessary for the bring- ing in of the Kinkdom of God. The bringing in of the Kingdom is not quickly accomplished, it is a continuous process. If we could get the true Chris- tian spirit put into practice between individuals and also nations, what a different 'world it would be! He pointed out that the great weak- ness of this age is lack of confidence, energy and hape. We are passing through a depression which is less tin- ancial than spiritual. Iti s difficult to go forward with hope and confid- ence in God’s Kingdom. We do good iwth heavy hearts and little satisfac- tion. The depression takes all real joy out of our activities. The purpose of this Psalm is to awaken confidence. “Let thy work appear unto thy ser- vants.” Paul is filledgith similar pur- pose as he says: “Be ye steadfast, im- movable.” In the morning Dr. Farquharson took his text from the 90th Psalm, the 16th and 17th verses: “Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory un- to their children, and let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and es- tablish thou the work of our hands up- on us, yea the work of our hands es- tablish thou it.” Dr. F'arquharson spoke of the pleas- ure it gave him to have once more an opportunity of bearing testimony and giving expression to the thoughts that fill one’s mind with the passing of the Dominion immigration service. While here Mr. Farquharson met many of his former parishioners, who were pleased to see him standing the years so well and able to preach with his old- .tlme vigor and excellence. For the even- ing service, Knox church service was cancelled and after church was dis- missed a pleasant time was mutually spent by congregation and pastor in re- newing acquaintances. The services at 'the Presbyterian church on Sunday were well attended morning and evening to hear a. former beloved pastOr of the congregation, Rev. Dr. Parquharson, who preached at both services. It is nearing 20 years since Mr. Parquharson resided here, and since then over eleven years have been spent out of the ministry in connection with Former Pastor ' Preached Sunday sembled toHearandMeet Thisl’op- nlar Divine. f, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1932 ' Paul called himself the chief of sin- ners, yet was looked on in his day as a model young man, who kept the law lblamelessly. One day he had his vision. Then he felt the sense of sin. Mary probably, was also no worse than others but she had read the heart of Christ. She knew His love and responded to it. Jesus rewards those who do what they can. We suspect virtue which seeks reward. It is a boon to have a heart‘to help others. Christ said this woman had not only done that, but “She hath wrought a good work .up- on me.” He appreciated her sympathy. Going to His death he ‘received added inspiration from her gracious act. ,Aj deed done in the right spirit makes? possible other deeds. Mary with a heart‘ of sympathy and loyalty confesses Christ regardless of consequences. Three days pass. she is the only one who stayed at the tomb. and so she was the first to be trusted wtth the secret that He was risen from the dead. Jesus acknowledges those who trust Him. If wearegoingtodoourpu'tweneed the pharisaic spirit stripped away and our hearts filled with God’s love. Would one whd is forgiven much loves much, yet we are not taught that to have great love we must. sink deep in sin. A statement is made in an Oxford movement bookâ€"“For sinners only"â€" where there is a small consciousness of sin, there is always a small Christ. The The woman of this text appreciated what Christ was about to do, and hence lavished on Him, her costly gift, boldly stepping into an adverse con- temptuous atmosphere in order to show how much she loved Him. The biggest thing we do is when we interpret and confess Christ to the world. This the woman did. Others condemned her waste. Christ praised her. How did she get the spirit which enabled her to do this? Her motive was that of love. The Oxford Group speaks of the need of confessing, not to a priest, or even to God alone, but those we have wrong- ed. How many friendships couid be re- newed, and wrongs righted in this way? Jesus took a course in His ministry which was not pepular, when he set His face towards Jerusalem. Peter re- buked Him and others murmured. No one goes far in the right direction unless he does what he can. The world praises success, Christ accepts the mor- al judgment, the will for the deed. It is a hard thing to do what we can even under pleasing circumstances. The way of Christ is never easy. It is a hard thing to be a Christain, bearing the Cross. We do it with unwillingness when we ought to be cheerful and glad to serve the Lord. over many things which take place. One likes to get back to things which are unshaken. Time rolls on but the char- acter and principle abide. We tihnk of this in connection with the woman mentioned in the text, “This that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.” Else when it was said of her “She hath done what she could.” J .S.
