Why was it that when the Son of God came from heaven to live our hu- man Iife He was not universally wel- comed and acknowledged? Why did men reject Him then and why would men reject Him now? I think the first reason is that men have their own ideas of God, and when those ideas are not met by any manifestaâ€" tion of God or by any messenger from God or by any life-experience, any sorrow or calamity, they turn away. It was a carefully) thought-out plan with the learn-ed men amongst the Jews how the Messiah should come and what He should do. He was to come from amongst the chief men. He was to be a king and rule over the nations. And when Jesus Was born in a lowly way of a lowly maiden; when He lived and worked as a car- penter .in despised Galilee; when He did not come to the rabbis and consult with them, but rather chose as His followers some rough fishermen of Galilee or a tax-gatherer from Judea, why, they simply ignored Him, and when He seemed to gain too much popularity with the masses they con- demned Him and put Him to death. It: is a dangerous thing to let our own imagined knowledge become the guide in our relationship to God. It is a very dangerous thing for us to plan how God is to deal with us or with the world' How can we, poor mortals of a day, who can hardly touch the hem of‘the garment of infiinte truth, pre- sume to say how the Almighty shall act?

But we read also that those who did not realize their sin or who did not want to be forgiven were bit- ter against Christ and cried out, “Crucify Him!” It is the saddest kind of rejection when we turn from Him who longs to help us and follsv our own unholy ways. nun v; vau, auu uuu Alll'lll a. cult ucAp. Yet I‘think there were others who received Christ in a dearer, a truer way. They Were tl’l'ose who forgot their trials and troubles, who did not ask Him for anything, but whorjust loved to'be near Him. Such were the little children whom He took in His arms and blessed. Such was Mary of Bethany, who sat at his feet and heard "His gracious words. Such was John, _ o leaned on Himbosom. I need Thee, ear Christ, oh so greatly! I need forgiveness of my many sins. 'I need comfort in the midst of many trials. I need courage to face diffi- culties. But there are times when I seem to forget all these and when I just come and kneel in silence before Him. No word is spoken. N com- plaint is made. He is so ready 0 give me all I need. His hands full of gifts are stretched out. But what He longs for most of all, I believe (I speak in reverence),.is my love and trust with- out any appeal for help.â€"Rev. F. Tomltins. But we must turn to the brighter side and think of those who received Christ, and there were many. Some of them were men of learning and in- fluence, like Nicodemus and Nathaniel and Joseph of Auimathaea. But most of them were like children so far as learning was concerned, and they came to Him because He was so loving and helpful. Of these were those, first of all, who were sick or who had friends who wen sick. The miracles tell us about them, and there was a great variety of them, from the R0- man centurion, whose servant was sick b0 the poor woman who touched the hem of His garment and was heal- ed. Those who feel their need of Him are still to-d‘ay justified (St. Luke 18: 14). No matter what is the circum- stances, dear friend, you can come to Him just as really as they came to Him of old, and find Him a sure help. Platinum F ields of Columbia Are Rich.

WORKING FOR Definite progress towards a solution of the vexed question of exchange on international freight charges between the United States and Canada seems likely, as a result of a meeting of re- presentatives of the principal Cuna- dian cdrriers at Montreal recently. The Question, which is a most com~ plicated one, was again considered from all its angles, and a tentative plan was prepared involving an aver- age varying surcharge, which, it_ is hoped. will lead to a solution which will be satisfactory to all parties in- terested. ‘It is appreciated, however, that in the working out of this prob- lem it is of the utmost importahce that the integrity of the through rates by the different gateways must tariffs. Owing to the diversity of conditions affecting the various classes of traffic, and the far-reaching effect of any ac- tion which may be taken, a full exami- nation of the international charges and consultation with United States carriers is necessary.
