Reality in religion is what men mm 19;, especially when under trial. Dr. Jellies Little once de- miiglng the oxford Group's teach- mg about God's guidance as the mat experience most believers have 0, cmvmu presence in their lives. To believe a doctrine is a good

st. John has a curious way oi suggesting the reality oi the Risen christ. The con oi his teaching is the iull manhood oi the-Master. md gt the same time His lull rllvlllliy. He aiilrms that the Son .13 God became ilesll, and that "1-Vefy spirit which conieasca that Jesus Christ has come in ,the ilesh is as God." (I John (:2). At the same time, Jesus Christ is the word or God by- whom the worlds were made, and the Author or Eiemll Liie for everyone who be- l.eves in Him. Then by a change in the ending oi an adjective he slresaea Christ as the Truth as oo- posed to the raise, and then Christ aui the Real as opposed to the spur- ious ol' ianciiul. A literal translat- lull oi I John 5:20 would read. "WE know that the son or God has come and has siven to us In un- derstanding that we may know the guilty, and we are in the Reality. even in His Son. Jesus jhrllb. This is the Real God and eternal life." Here then is the Re- gnty in Religion ior which all men

is. mnut how can I make this real to the man who needs something which the world cannot supply? We have been thinkina lately about the truths which Easter makes vuvlng and poweriul"; the centre oi all these is the presence or the living Ohrist. W-bat can 1 bring out of a long ministry to meet the deepest that the soul can ieei? I won't talk about.my own experi- anoe, but I shall not tell anything sbout others which I have not found true in many lives.

Here is one at the dissipated. the slave or temptations which he is powcrlus to resist. He is standing in the rear oi the Central Mission in t was Vancouver discussing with the speaker or the evening the message which has just been given. The subject has been the. new birth. the change in ones nature which comes throuzh be- lie! in Christ. a change so coin- piote that the sinner turns against the things which he iormerly lov- ed and turns to the things which he formerly shunned.

ills ilrst word revealed a back- ground oi culture and education but, in spite oi his noble brow, his lace was a picture or helpless and nopeless dissipation. In courlsous ii-rms he told the speaker that he iiist couldn't see ior hlmseli the truth ad RIOUITIESSIKO given; to him the whole thing seemed un-

;cal.

Then he pointed to a man stand- ing near the plstiol-in. and added. 'But I cannot question its eiiec- zlveness in that man's case. Two weeks ago he was just where I em and look at him now." Talk oi anv- one being "clothed and in his right mind." that man was the very pic- liire oi radiant ielth, set free irom ihe lisbits which had been threat- mlng his ruin.

ior them? some experiences are almost too sacred to mention. but here is one.

"The agony and travail oi soul or last week is known to you. And when the day oi the service came, I did not know how I could en- dure it. 1 tho t by sheet will- power to centre inyseli. But it is oi what followed that I must write. The moment I entered the church a strange and beautiiui calm came upon me, eniolded and sur- rounded me; it had a glow and n A ” , and a comfort lndesc ib- able. I seemed to be a part oi all that took place, and yet at the same time was llited above and beyond it, all. No one could ex- plain my cairn tllough they ielt it. It was not mine-that was the ex- planation. It was the most strange and wonder-iul thing i ever ielt and those nearest to me marvelled at it."

This case is not unique. I have met a number oi them in the course oi my nilnistry. They prove that St. Paul was dealing with reality when he spoke oi 'the Peace of God which passes understanding." They show that Christ meant what He said in liiutthcw unto me uil ye who labor and are heavy laden alid I will give you rest." This comiort and peace irom Christ are open to all.

What about death? For centuries believers have found in Psalm 23:4 a sublime expression oi the Chris- tian hope. ilics, though I walk through the valley oi the shadow oi death l will tear no evil; ior thou are with me."

is there reality Take all example.

IA iriend oi mine, ll promising young minister in eastern Canada, was called to one oi the leading churches in Montreal. He had reached the height of his ambition. His ministry had a. splendid start, but in a iew months he iound that a deadly disease had laid hold or him and that he had only a short time to live. For a time everything seemed to go irom under him. Shortly before the end came he sent his congregation the fol- lowing vuledicwry. "May I say that I came to know something oi the awful blttemess that can ever- whelm the soul. I dreaded to think a.i'terwards oi how my heart raged against God. But what I want to sail. and this may be the most eiiective sermon I ever preached, is that God gave me a victory so wonderful, 9. peace so deep and sure that I -do not know what it is unless it is the peace that passes all understanding. I want you to know that God gave me happiness so wondelul that I iound myself over and over again praising God ior the strange experience which seemed such a complete irustrat- ion 01 all my hopes. Death lost every vosilge oi terror indeed I could think oi no better description or what happened than the words of the apostle. ii-ie has destroyed death! I cannot tell you the eiiect that it had upon my soul when I realised that the Gospel is true. that it works. Amid all the awe- some mysteries of llie. Jesus Christ is the truth.”

Neare Tragedy In Brudeneli Fire As Barnliumed

A barn iirc at Clarence Camp- bell's in Brildenell on Saturday brought trepidation to the hearts of the many Bruderlell residents as they couicllorsee repeated again the disaster oi several years ago when the woods stretching ironl the nrudenell road to Biudsnell nsumed in ilalmies. origin, the fire broke out in the barn. willie Mr. Campbell was absent iroxn hmie. Two young children were playing in the barn. and one managed to reach the house to tell his mother. who irantlcly ran to save the other child, which she was able to do. Undaunted she again entered the burning barn to save the cow, and alter a ten-minute struggle suc- ceeded in removing it imm the barn. However. none or the iemi equipment was saved.

with a ioit iull oi hay to iced it. the tire soon became serious. whipped to greater intensity by the slrong south-west wind. With the burning out oi the roof. the wind carried blimlng particles I Quarter mlie up the road to start a new blaze in a dry grass field, and then into a small woods, iroim which more sparks made the next jump oi one-heli hills to cross the road and start the iiro in another grass field and in the woods iron: which it could sweep clear to Wood Islands.

Few irom the community seem- ed to realize the imminent danger and not much was done to as- seimlbls the people to help until the siren was finally sounded. This brought the people. and ears and trucks were loaded which heed-ed ior the scene. However. the people of the district had not been held up. but had begun to plow land strips to stop the advance of the ground iire. Many more worked in the midst of heavy smoke to stop the tree-top advance. and were finally successiul him in the alter- noon in bringing the ilre under control. To. these people who pre- vented a most serious conflagration, g. great deal of commendation is due.
