'lll w· rial responsibilities be met squa:·_elr, honorably, manfully and in the tear of God, The character of Christ Is positlvn. Christ is remarkahle not for tlln things that He refrainE-d from doing but rather Is He ideal h the acts of nobleness, virtue, goo<l-hcartednes3 which He did. His was no puhr 5oul. Obeying the words that came out of Sinai's mighty glory, He went beyond them. Keeping well within the requirements of Pharisaic legal- Ism, He pushed on and out and up, above and beyond and qi;~ad of nll ~he self-complacency and morn! blind- ness of the ecclesiastics, and did things positive and powerfHI for men and for God. l'eeling within His heart the ra II of immot·lal duty the ('hrlst exemplified in His own I.lfe those qualities of character winch have (or all time secured Him in His tn!oud place as tho '~cler::l man an(l ]lroved to a multitudn in this sad and sinning world His Godhood and His grace divine. 'l'o you and to m~ the call comes down the centuries· bid<ling us \to show forth the <>xrellencies of Him \vho hath called us out of da1·kness into His mal'Yellous light.\ Having arc?ptPd the Chl'ist and been sealed. with His love, we must bear in our lives the <'xpress imagt>-that 1s to say the signet stamp, that is to sa;; the character-of the Son of God. The charaet.m· of Christ presents to us a double study amlp;·eserves to us a two-fold duty and example. With- in the rhat·al'lel'istic attributes of holiness and righteousness are com· tn·ised all the qualities tbat pertain to tbe Saviour In His social sphere. Holiness toward God, righteousness toward self and society, these two are lite broad truths that come to us from the character of the Christ and which summon us to show forth His glory and His love. Spirttt1ality and mor- ality, A sanctified sense of onenesE with the Father, a courageous de· termination to stand square before •mciety and upright at the bar of his own conscience, these are the two g, eat lessons for us fr.om the chnrac· tPr of Chrib-t, and the mighty truth:.! Within which ali else in the world or human condtict ts embraced. To be holy is to be sanctified-that i~ to say pure. Not merely purity be- fore men but a radical purity that real!;; goes back to the root of things and that enables the man to be 1\t, through the grace of God in Jesus Christ, to stand before His Father and His Maker and be glad. PuritY ls not merely a matter of soap and ·water but of Inward wholesomeness.

Does he know what It Is to have a prmcely fortune dangled before his face If, in le\lslatlve halls, be will stand on the w~ong side of ths question for .iust one hou~?
