If any man hear My voice and open the door I will come In to him and be with Me. Revelations 3:20. . The companionship here suggested between the divine and the human la intimate and familiar. The figure 13 that of a social meal together. And the great friend represents himself as taking the initiative. He doe3 not force his companionship upon us. The divine reverence for the human per sonality is one of the great truths which it has taken the world a long time to learn, but wo are beginning to understand It. "We force ho doora In friendship," says Dr. King, "but, like the Christ in Revelation, we stand reverently at the door without, to knock. And only if the door be opened from within may we come in to sup with our friend, and he with us." But it is only the most Inti mate of our friends who venture to In vite themselves to supper. Is It not a beautiful relation be tween the divine and the human that Is thus advocated? But what we have learned of God from Jesus Christ makes it easy to accept this sugges tion. We are sure that if Jesus should come to Columbus the people who loved him might expect to have him drop in any evening to supper, and they would not be at all embarrassed at hearing his familiar knock at the door. No formalities would be called for in his case. He would know how to make himself at home. . "And he that hath seen me," he said, "hath seen the father." That is the kind of friendship that the great friend wish es to maintain with all of us. "But the text Is a parable, as is the supper of which we are soon to par take. What is the deeper fact to which these symbols bear witness! It is a communion, a sharing of the divine life by the human life. We are partakers, Paul says, of the divine nature. In. some way he live3 in us, and we in him. Let us not conceive that thi3 is a mere mystical impressionism. But what is clear? When the great friend comes in to sup with us how we shall be aware of his presence? It will be something more than a pleasurable thrill of spiritual excitement. The guests that he brings with him will be good thoughts, generous wishes, definite direction of life toward defi nite objects. Now all these move ments of mind are realities. A thought is just as real as a stone or a tree or a breeze. So is a wish or a pur pose. These are all realities. We are more sure of them than of anything else. The fact that you cannot weigh them in scales or measure them with a yard stick is no proof that they are not real. It is in these realities that God comes into our lives. He desires to share our thoughts, to enoble oui wishes, to guide our purposes. And he can do this for us. The human mind Is made to be irradiated -with the divine thought, as the diamond is made for the light. The central forces of our lives are these , thoughts and wishes and purposes of ours. What we habitually think about, what we habitually wish for, what we habitual ly choose and prefer, that are we. And the man who wants to have the truth of God in his mind and the purity and love of God in his purpose car have the inspiration that will make his life diivne. This, I suppose, Is the kind of com munion that the text offers us, and il is the substance of this that we ought to be thinking of as we sit here be fore this table. It was to bring mer into this relation with the great friend that Jesus lived ar.d taught and died When any man has learned to realize this great friendship it is well foi him. All things are his life, death things present, things to come. - Love and Marriage. 'Whatever destroys the love faculty, which is the most divine part of oui being, ought to be corrected as soon as possible. It is better to enter Intc life single or divorced than to be de stroyed by the married state. It is better for the child life to be without parental influence than to have its morals and love destroyed by parents. Important and sacred as marriage is, the moral and love nature of man are more sacred, as they are the eternal qualities. The marriage Institution like the moral commandments, is sub ectd to the condition and judgment Df men. Rev. W. P. Brush, Episco palian, Jersey City, Mo. Never Far From God. And Christ has said, "Lo, I am with you always;" and that is enough. For a Christian to "feel far away from God" Is to feel what Is not so. Such a feeling Is indeed human, as bo many Dther misleading emotions and untrue thoughts are human; but the blessed fact is that God never leaves us, evt-n when we think be has done so or ought to do so.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 7 BIRTH OF JOHN FORETOLD. LESSON TEXT Luke 1:5-23. MEMORY VERSES IS, IS. GOLDEN TEXT "Without faith It U impossible to please God.'Heb. 11:6. The Old Testament closes with a prophecy; the New Testament opens with the announcement of the fulfill ment of that prophecy. Thus both Testaments are characterized in this lesson: The Testament, prophecy; the New Testament, fulfillment. It Is clear from our Lord's own words that John the Baptist fulfilled this Old Testament prediction, (Mat. 17: 10 13).' It may be that a more literal fulfillment Isc still future, proceeding Christ's second inning. Our attention is first drawn to the persons through whom God fulfills his promise. Zacharias and Elizabeth were both righteous. By that Is not meant that they were either sinless or perfect no human being is that but that they were parents whose whole heart, mind, and strength were dedicated to the will and service of God. -Zacharias' unbelief shows that he was not sinless. This Is the kind of people through whom God is willing, and ready even today to fulfill his promise and bless the world not through perfect peo ple, but through those who are con- stantl7 striving' after perfection There is no limit to the blessings God will confer upon the world through us if only we will not touch the glory The glorious vision and message came to John when he was perform ing his duty. And so it is always. While shepherds watch their flocks the angel comes. We must not for get that Elizabeth also in her modest, humble seclusion was used to bless the world ju3t as much as Zacharias who was exercising a priestly function so high that the opportunity came to a priest but once in a lifetime. God chooses the weak things as well as the great things: D. L. Moody, the un educated shoe clerk, as well as Paul, the scholar. So Isaac was a quiet man and dwelt in tents. The next thing to which our atten tion is the content of the prophecy. First, it concerns a child. Zacharias and Elizabeth were childless. It is no sin to be childless provided that no law of nature is violated. It is a sad thing to be childless. At least it was so considered In Old Testament days. Would that It were considered so to day! A revival of the mother instinct Is needed. This child was to be an extraordin ary child well every mother's child Is wonderful! This child was to go before the Lord and prepare his way, just as your child may follow after the Lord and walk in his steps a worthy career for both John and your child, and every child. Why should we not hold this ideal constantly before childhood? Upon the promised child was to rest the vow of the Nazarite. That meant two things: Absolute prohibition from intoxicants, and entire dedica tion to God. Can you think of any two thing3 more desirable for your child, for every child? These par ents had an ideal before (them for their child, and that was a tremend ous help. Have you? Or do you bring your child up at random? Start today with an ideal. Let It be high; let it be the highest, even Christ. The mission of John, the Baptist, was to be perormcd by the aid of the Holy Spirit.. Is there not a subtle contrast here between the prohibition of intoxication and the filling with the spirit? Just as the person under the influence of intoxicating liquor is governed and controlled by such, spir its, so the Christian worker is to be come so fulfilled with the spirit that every part of him Intellect, sensibili ties, will, feellDgs, are under the spirit's control. This spiritual equip ment is what is needed for Christian workers today. Because the Baptist was epirit-fill ed, he was enabled to turn the hearts of the children towards their fathers. Doubtless the Jews had become taint ed with the idolatry of the surround ing nations so that they had to soma extent forsaken the faith of the pa triarchs. Every Christian has the Holy Spir it, just as Egypt has the river Nile; but every Christian does not have the fullness of the Spirit, any more than Egypt always has the overflow of the Nile; and just as the overflow of the Nile means a bountiful harvest to Egypt, so the infilling and overflow ing of the spirit In the believer means a bountiful harvest of fruit unto eter nal life. It Is strange, is it not, thatZachar ias should doubt in the presence of this heavenly visitor! Surely one should believe In the presence of such a sign as this. There are people to- j day who say that they would believe j If they could hear a voice from th j other shore speaking to them, or i one should come to them from the other life. Did the Jews believe ever, though Lazarus came back to them j from the dead? No. If we believe j not the scriptures, neither would we be persuaded in the presence of so j supernatural a sign as this.

Neely, the aviator poet of . hiladelphia, said at a recent banquet it the Bellevue-Stratford: "Yes, it is true that it takes a lot )f money to become an airman. You :an't get an aeroplane and you can't earn to fly without plenty of cash." Mr. Neely smiled. "I was watching a brother airman naking a volplane the other day vhen I heard a young lady say: " 'He can do a lot of tricks, can't ie?' " 'Yes, you bet he can,' her compan on agreed. "'What Is his!best trick? she con tinued. " 'His best trick, far and away,' was .he reply, 'Is buying a biplane on cred t. He's done it twice now, and .

The eruption began with Itching under the skin. It spread fast from between the fingers around the nails and all over the whole hands. I ot a pair of rubber gloves in order to wash dishes. Then it spread all over tho left side of my chest. A fine doc tor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then I decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as I had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured.
