Dr. Lightbourne said that there was one passage way which this intellectual faculty, man's supreme endownment, which is unsurpassed by any ot her natural faculty, could not en~ ^ ter Over this passage is written in glittering letters the word ' ‘SupematuraF ’. It is impossible for man unregenrated and un n spired by God to understand, to enter into or appreciate the super natural in himself and in the uni verse about him,—and so it is that religion, revealed religion as set forth in the Bible, is the ab solute necessity to a well round ed man. Dr. Lightbourne ex- pre sed his confidence in the sta bility of the Bible, for it is in the custody and the protection of the One whose spirit indited it. Dr. Lightbourne’s closing words I to the graduating class emphasiZ' ed character, duty, consecration 11 English will also be presented by President Staley as well as diplomas for tlie Master of Arts degree to Prof. Henry M.

God loves the faithfui and deligli; ^ to biaTe them trust in h»rr. cMefeet ble^ssings are for such. By i of rarious condittons cosnecteA with our birth, it is act alik.> a^sj-to all to accept the Divine promise* and to shape ilfe according 1.0 these, trusting tliat the lewards and. blessings of the future will more iliasi offset the sacrifices of the present However, while only the faithful wsij attain the exceeding great and precious things of God’s promises in this preheat age, we are glad that the Creator baa still In reservation an Inferior blesjiiis^^'.for those who cannot exercise faitli now, but who must be dealt with duriag tha> Millennial Age more along the lines of sight. Our present study illustrates the Lord’s gpraee towards those who trust him. The Cauaanitisb woman was a iiieathen woman—one not au Israelite—60* with whom the Lord had not entered laito covenant relationship-one of those who at that time were without G(»il and without hope, becauw the Divln« pvovision for the blessing of the *jkiitlleg was not yet opened up to them. When our I>ord sent forth his Aposties to preach the Gospel, healing all man- ler of diseases and casting out devLijr, he Instructed them to pass by all who were not Jews—Gentiles and Samadliijis. His words were, “Go not into tho way of the Gentiles and into any of the Samaritans enter ye not, for I am not sent savf* to the lost sheep €/ tue house of Israel.” With a few excep tions ouiir Lord’s miracles were couliu'titi to the Jews, They alone were God's covenanted people. B'or this reason Jesus ignored the petition of the Gannan- itish woman, ciirying “Have mercy oa jjae, O-Lord, Son of David! My daughter is grievously v^aied with a devil.” Aadi Wer oh he explained, “I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house itj Israel,’' and “It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the The term “dags." was applied lo the Gentiles by the Jews as signifying their inferiority. Our Lord merelj' lisaiie use of an expression common in Ms day, and stili comiaca in Palestine. Eut note the woman’s faith: She replied, “Yea, Lord, yet the dogs eat of th;^ crumbs which fall from the Master’s ta ble.” What perseverance, what faiili. was thus manifested! How (e^vidently she believed the Lord to be the prijsoised Messiah, the Heir of the throne of David! As Jesus intimated, she hkd more faith than a majority of the Jewis. Her request was g;ranted—“O womau. great is thy faith! Be it auto thee even as thou wilt.” Her daughter was from that hour. There are several lessons for as isj study. However degraded we may be by natur-^, by heredity, by enTir jameat; however outcast from God's favor, we may still know of the Divine comijiisMon. The message is, “God is Love;” If he chose first of all to manifest b is fiivor towards Abraham's children, it did not signify that he had no love or caye for the remainder of mankind; merely that the Divine purpose must floT7 out to mankind through DlTiuely*«ppoiBited channels and in God’is due time. Vy e imay be sure that when we get to the standpoint of perfect knowledge in rke-hereafter we shall see wisdom in every feature of the Divine program, io.r Instance, from the human standpoint It seems strange that God has permitted: a reign of sin and death in the world for 6000 years, when he has the j\ili power to speak the word and to over throw the forces of evil and tc inuii^drate gracious influences of blessing for the deliverance of mankind from |)wer of sin and Satan, ignorance and superstition; to give light for dari-aiessv knowledge of God for Ignorance and blindness. Studying the Divine I'hui .of the Ages, we find the lesson to be that God will first select a OhujYb class and subsequently use the elect Church as channels of blessing tov-tifd.the world of mankind. A little while, and the permisi!,iou of sin and the trials and difiacultles of the present life shall have served to elilsel and polish the “very elect.” A Uttl® while, and they shall be transform^^d lo the glorious likeness of their Redeemer beyond the veii. And then a little 'n hile, and the blessings long promised to the world In general will be dispeassed. The children of God will flrst be fed from this table, and then not meiely crumbs will fall for the remainder of the race, but rich and bountiful pivi-rision, exceedingly and abundautlly more> than we could have asked or thou fijt, It is a great and important truUi that many human beings are more or less completely obsessed by evil .s]>jri!s—demons—not the spirits of human be ings, but the ^’allfen angels, as the Sc’dptures declaro. Many battle for years against these influences of demons and. because not. rightiy informed of the Bible teaching on the subject, they come more and more under the occult ia- flueuces with danger of entirely ioiaing; their reason. - It was probably some such aflSiction'as this which aflfevied the daughter of the Canaanitess. She seemed to realize that there was oiiipj^the one quarter from which she could get help. Hence her impoi'tuaity, .vtien she recognized tibe Lord. In another sense of the word aU sin and sickness may be said to be alSic- tiona of the devil, beoause all are eiU:er directly, or through heredity, Satan’s work. Thus our Lord declared VUat Satan had murdered our race by his falsehood to mother. Eve—“Re was u murderer from the beginning and abode not in the Truth." Througl: his 11** ‘>iir race has gone down into sickness, rcen- tai. moral aud physical, and is going down rapidly to the tomb.
