The Life Worth Living

not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.*

Being "the express image of his person," then, Jesus becomes a revelation of the person of God to the children of men, as well as a revelation of his character and attributes. Again, you have the scriptures saying:

For it pleased the Father that in him [Christ Jesus] should all full- ness dwell. * * * For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the God- head bodily.f

All there is, then, in God, there is in Jesus Christ. All that Jesus Christ is, God is. And Jesus Christ is an immortal man of flesh and bone and spirit, and with his Father and the Holy Spirit will reign eternally in the heavens. (To be concluded.)

THE LIFE WORTH LIVING.

The only life worth living is that which is stirred by ambition and which is fortified and promoted by industry. But the object must be worthy and the methods must be honorable. After all the main purpose sought is contentment and happiness. Some follow a mistaken idea and never reach the goal. Wealth, posi- tion, and power do not always bring these two jewels. He who carries sunshine along the pathway, who speaks a kind word of encouragement to the disconsolate, who condoles with sorrow, who remembers the poor, who encourages the struggling, who raises the fallen, who stands by the right because it is right, he it is who has found contentment and happiness and whose life is radiant and beautiful. The man who thus tempers his ambition and curbs his will finds genuine pleasure in success and the world rejoices with

him in his daily progress. — John H. Small.
