C. T. MCMULLIN, Treasurer, 1334 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.

What beautiful beings shall we then be "when he shall appear" and "we shall be like him"! Our bodies "made like unto his glorious body," our souls made like unto his holy soul, "no spot, nor blemish, nor any such thing," soiling or marring our celestial beauty! And we are to attain to this through this Christian experience which is vouchsafed to us here. Him who, not having seen, we love, in whom, though now we see him not, yet believing, we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of gloryhim we shall see by and by-shall see him as he is, and then we shall be like him.

Will it make us proud? That cannot be, but unutterably thankful and glad and happy. Why may we not, then, be glad and thankful and happy now? Why will we not accept and rely upon the inspired assurance," He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ"?

The way to reach forth unto fulfillment of this blessed hope is not in brooding despondingly over your needs and failures, but lifting up your hearts unto the hopes and

If the fullness of this sure expectation can flow into our souls, as we feed on this sweet word of Jesus, we shall go on in healthy, growing Christian experience. From Sabbath to Sabbath and from day to day we shall receive of Christ's fullness grace for grace, and shall continually "add to faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness charity." And when these things are ours and abound, we shall be neither idle nor unfruitful. (See 2 Pet. 18, Revised Version.)

That excitement of feeling which we call emotion is not continuous, but love and faith. They are like the sea, always filling

the great deep of the soul, but not always tempest-tossed, not always even rippled by breezes. There are as good uses of the sea

After three years spent as pastor of the church in Ballston, where his memory is still warmly cherished, he was elected to the presidency and to the chair of theology in Biddle Institute by "The Committee on Missions to Freedmen." He resigned the presidency four years ago. His chair as professor was only vacated by death. . . .

For years he entered these class-rooms before 9 A.M. and did not leave them until 4 P.M. During the balance of his waking hours he was always accessible to any one of nearly two hundred boys, keeping their accounts, acting as their banker, purchasing their books, exhorting, admonishing, rebuking them when wayward and rebellious, the weight of his personal influence rendering the task of administering discipline upon

the part of the faculty easy. He was always loath to conclude a boy incorrigible, sometimes hoping when others of his associates would despair. He was usually patient and long-suffering, but pity the luckless and graceless lad who presumed too far on his forbearance and kindled his righteous indignation. It was something the youth was not likely to forget for a life-time.

...

"The law of kindness was the law of his life." Even when he felt himself to be grievously wronged, he studiously refrained from recrimination. He chose rather patiently to wait, leaving his case the while with God, "who judgeth righteous judg ment." He was the very soul of truthful

ness.

Mistakes he might and did make. He had not else been human. But to those that knew him best, it was utterly inconceivable that he could ever depart, under any circumstances, the single tithe of a hair from the strictest veracity. With all the courage and fortitude of a strong man, he possessed the delicate refinement and sensibilities of a girl. Like all good men, he loved little children. His face always brightened at their approach. The affection was instinctively reciprocated by the little ones, "who plucked the good man's gown to share his smile."

In our June number (p. 540) we said, "Without being able to accept all of Dr. Blyden's views as we understand them, we think that he has been misunderstood by those to whom he has seemed to teach the superiority of Mohammedanism to Christianity."

Dr. Blyden is now spending a few months in Washington, D. C., and has sent to us the contribution which we gladly give to our readers in this issue (p. 408), believing that they will find in it not only pleasant confirmation of our previously-expressed view of this able writer, but matter for earnest thought and prayer. Dr. Blyden is evidently trying, patiently and we think

skillfully, to give reading and thinking Mohammedans of Africa a fair chance to know what Christianity really is. We bid him Godspeed in that manly Christian endeavor.

The question for courageous Christian faith no longer is, "How can we defend Christianity against Islam?" but "How can we save the Moslems?" In Turkey, in Persia, in India and in Africa, the question presents itself in different phases. It is the same question everywhere. Let us study it faithfully and patiently, not in the spirit of fear, but in the spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind.
