Mr. Bain Epoke of the 'term "word" as applied la this text to Christ and showed how lie was induced to take the place of Intermediary . between " God and the world: not only as Interme diary between God and the good, but also between me gooa na -ne raj epeaklnc further or the - term "word," Mr. Bain eaid that the use of this uncommon word in his-pro logue showed art on the part or John, ' the writer. John, be eaid, used here non nt the word a . in common use tmonz men. but turned telde from all of them and, used word that . was easily understood by an classes, ana at the same time a word that, was a fit term to express the personality and oower of Christ , , . John speaks in the prologue, tie said, of God's final revelation to men, which was nude in the personality of Jesus Christ, showing . cieany tne functions of Jesus Christ. : His func tion to give light to men. and hi yet higher function wjlch was to give men the power to become the Son Of God. Ii'.'ic'v'k ' u .t -THE POINTS EMPHASIZED, i In the body of Ills sermon Mr. Bain laij special emphasis on these points: First. The word as flesh. Second. The revelation of God to man. Third. The revelation of man to man. Fourth. The power of the atonement of Christ to save man from sin, - - In all ages man has been asking the question, he said, whether there is any means of communication - be tween God and man, and that the fact ' Is fully established in the Bible. No man, he said, can read the Old Testament 'Scriptures "and not ask this question, and -at the same time no man can read these scriptures ana not ' fee convinced that through all the ages God has been endeavoring lo. reaca'Tne weans 11 pion vy vvp tng' to them. In this connection he said that God epoke;to jnen in all ages, and spoke always in a language to be under , stood by all men. REVELATION TROUGH CHRIST.

Mr. Bain spoke again of Christ as the revelation of man to man as well-as the revelation of God to, man. He showed next that as a revelation Christ shows to men first their sin, and snows menv aiso xne power uiu sive from sin. He said at this point that "What the world needs is not so mutch the preaching of in as the preaching of Christ as the saviour from sin and The last point of his sermon was an emphasis of the final function of Jesus Christ, which wa t'.iat He might make atonement for the sins of mankind andthua make reconcllla sion between God and man. in tms connection he said: "The greatest work of Jesu Christ was to satisfy ' divine ' Justice, Reconciliation be tween God and man Is made through the cross on Calvary. Man has sin ned, and in his lost condition he can not come tack o goj.' rThe reason Christ came In the flesh was that through .His death on the cross He -might reconcile man to God, In HI death on the cross He brought peace between God endman.

Second, Those ' who give intellectual assent o His dlvlnKyut know notlv Ing of the yeal heart assent to His existence. . The other class of people of whom he spoke was that class who accept Christ as divine and as the Saviour of the worU. This Is the class he said who know , the real spirit of Christmas.
