How often have we meditated about
this cicle of disciples and how we have
yearned for such an experience! To
have seen the Master, to haye heard his
voice, to have caught his smile, to have
looked into his eyes, to have observed
him as he taught and healed, to have
seen divine indignation gather upon his
fair. brow, to have felt his power—ah,
what must that have been! And, now,

life?—the flaw in the diamond? For
Judas was in his way the aristocrat
among the group. He, alone, came
from the south and his manners were
more smooth and his speech more ele-
gant. Did anyone suspect Judas?
Probably it was not in the mind of any
man that a deed~so base was possible
in a company so-select. What wonder
that all were shocked! 2
Those men faced the very same diffi-
culty that you and I have—how to
keep sympathy with spirituality in a
material environment. Judas could not
keep up, for, as Jesus developed his
high and beautiful spirituality, he found
himself slipping back into affairs of
money, business and earthly consider-
ations. Even a mother had asked Je-
sus that her two sons—disciples—might
be secretary of state and secretary of
the treasury in the new kingdom? How
dull, crude, earthly those men were!
Now, if those early disciples found it
necessary to cry out~ “Is it I1’??—how
should we feel, we in this modern Amer-
ica, two thousand years from the Mas-
ter? I remember, once, going forward
to kneel for the Holy Communion in
Canterbury cathedral. I remember
how unworthy I felt. “Unworthy,
Lord, to gather up the crumbs.” Some
of you must have been with me in that
convention of Liberals, in a New York
chapel when the late Dr. Norwood, in;
our communion service, took the chalice
containing the wine, and falling upon
his knees in tears, confessed-our un-
worthiness. It was one of the most
impressive and uplifting moments of my
life, because of its deep sincerity.
We are unworthy; we are uncertain,
we do hesitate, we do know the force of
temptations. Each man knows in his
wn truest soul that he might fall.
“Lord, is it 1?” Struggling to keep the
faith, battling to uphold the ideals, sure
of his love for Christ, but knowing by,
| bitter experience the pull of the world,
every man of us cries out: “Lord is it
I?” And it is then that a strong, divine
hand lifts us up.

KEEPING THE CHARGE OF THE

1
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify ;
A never dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky;

To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my Powers engage,
To do my Master’s will
3
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live:
And O, thy sery ant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give!

Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assur’d, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die

followed by ice cream and cake was
served by men of the church who were
dressed in white coats and dark trousers.
The ladies so beautifully attired in
Vening dresses and the men in dark

occasion. Mr. C. A, Orton served as
Master of Ceremonies,
Beautiful readings and songs sung by

impressive and gave honor to whom it

WEEKLY THOUGHT
The lenten season is pre-eminently
the season of spiritual quickening in
the church. It begins with Ash
Wednesday, and ends with the Satur-
day preceding Easter. During these
days we are again reminded of our
Lord’s fasting, temptation, suffering,
death, and resurrection. This should
make us think that He suffered and
died for our sins. Many Christians make
this a season of special self-denial,
penance, fasting and prayer. Indeed
we ought to think upon our sin, and
ask God for Christ’s sake to make us
truly sorry for our sin, and to wash us
in the precious blood that cleanseth
from all sip. We should ask Him to
help us to show that we are really
sorry by forsaking the sin,

WEEKLY POEM
IN ASSISE
These are the airs wherein he stood
And spoke the unrecorded words
That brought them fearless from the
wood,
The timid hare, the settling birds,
That gathered round him in the sun,
Upon his shoulder, at his feet,
In easy friendliness with one
Whose language was their own, and
sweet.
With syllables to quiet fear
And win the wild heart to his own....
Let us be still and listen, here,
And learn if any word or tone,
THE CHRISTIAN RECORD
May linger in the folds of_air
So to instruct the heart and tongue,
That going hence we go to bear
Love’s language as a song that’s sung.
