But if it shall stop short of this, and be satisfied with something as unlike this as the Pharasaic mora!ity of the jews was unlike the all-embrac- ing love of-Iesus, it will fail utterly in its work. If we are to depend lor the future of thc church upon the love of jesus as a power to move men, unaided by the terrors of the law, we must show what that love ofjesus is, what it can make men do, what it does make us do, what it makes the whole church do, and thus prove to everyone outside of the church that the best thing in the world is the lovc of God in Jesus Christ, and the noblest products of that are Christian men and women so filled with the spirit of Christ as to be ready to do tbr their fellow- creatures--not what they can with low discomfort-but like Christ, who pleased not himself, do for them all that is in theirpower,whether with discomlbrt or not. The central power in the religious thought ol the agetodayis the life ol'Christ-and in the great conflict in the world, and especially in this country, between belief and unbelief, the central power wielded by the church must be the life of Christ, lived over again by the church in the same constant course of blessing to man- kind. The church must not be a mutual admiration society-nor a eoterie of ' I am holler than thou' respectable believers. It must bear on itself the image ofChrist, and must work as Christ worked,so that whereyer it goes with its ministry of love and its proclamations ot grace, the most unbelieviug shall feel and shall say that Christ has come. And so, whether given in words of wisdom and inspiration when the heart is strong for life's duties, or in tenderest utter ances of sympathy when sorrow and bereavement rend the heart strings, the gift of speech of our beloved president is the expres sion of the throbbing heart ofa great, good man. fffwlt rl-raise, ., , We wafers: felt llrsswrm l nf 5 ,. fit.
