Such a life was that of Jesus, When the benficence of His mission became known, hands were stretched out to Him from every direction. Everywhere weary hearts poured out to Him theur burdens. Every where were bodies to be healed, spirits to ‘be subdued and set free, and sould to be saved. To this touching appeal of a needy world Christ gavo an affectionate and effective response. The superlative value of humility No grace is so rare, so precious,as Laumili,ty. Upon its possessors are poured out heaven‘s richest blessâ€" ings. It is represented in the Bble as being absolutely essential to the soul that desires spiritual exaltation. It may adorn the brows ofi kings it may lend a charmâ€" ing grace to the walk of the lowly. Christ discovered it in the heart of the Syrophoenician woman, and it won for her the one great favyor she desired above all otners â€" the Lealing of her daughter, "This inâ€" cident illustrates clearly the fact that we may, by assuming a becomâ€" ig attitude in our relations to God, bring rich blessings to others. There is no limit to God‘s goodness when ho beholds a humble soul proâ€" strate beforo him, God‘s love for the whole world. The gift of Christ was to the world. "To the Jew first, but also to the Gentile" Christ revealed His kirdâ€" ly sympathy and abounding love. No racial prejudices restrained His unâ€" bounded compassion. No ecclesiastiâ€" cal bigotry led Him to look with disxljain upon the needy of â€" any class. "For God so loved the world" â€"the world in the largest sense,the teeming mass of ‘its population â€" "that whosoever believeth in Him skould not perish." This whosoever included the Roman centurion and the Syrophoenician woman as well as the orthodox Jew. *"*‘The hearing ear."

The «peaking tongue. We can quite fully appreciate the embarâ€" rassment and mortilication of the man who was conscious of the fact that he had a tongue, but could not use it, even in ordinary conversaâ€" tion. No doubt when the string of his tongue was loosed, he lost no time in acquainting his friends of the fact by actual demonstration. ‘The power of spsech is an incstimable blessing and should be the causo of daily thavksgiving to the Giver. This esâ€" pscially is the caso when the string of the tongue is loosed, that has, through fear of shame, been silent it testimony, and in praise, and in worship. The eloquence of such a tongue is wont to bring joy _ and worder to all hearers.
