I cannot help calling you now to think about Him who gives, not merely by His words, but by the whole of His own person and life, that manifestation of the reality of the divine ex-

istence and tempts us to follow after Him. In other words, we come to-day to think of Christ, Christ who claims to be the master of the world. Christ from whom the revelation of that higher life has come. … It is our Christ in whom we Christians believe. It is the Christ in whom a great many of you listening to me now claim to believe—I do myself—in whom many of you do believe, whom many of you have followed into that newer life. I would to God that I could so set Him before you to-day, could so make you feel his actual presence in the life which we are living, which we may be living, that there should be no question in any man of the power that is open before him to enter into the higher life and to fulfil his soul to God.
