" I can do all things through Christ which strengthened! me."—Tiul. iv. 13. This question of tlie possible and impossible to man is variously treated by those who would agree in the general conclusion that we have no authority to put any limit to human capacity. One great leader among men says: " Never name to me that stupid word impossible," another says it should be erased from our vocabularies. Many designate it as the cry of cowardice and immorality. Scarcely has there ever been a reformer who has not experienced it as the readiest weapon of conservative indolence, and unprogressive selfishness. And yet the indignant sup pression of this moral inanity in the assertion, " Nothing is impossible to man,'' would seem to require some modification ; it is not wholly and unconditionally true, though true. Our divine Teacher in Chris tianity gives it to us with the widest and wisest limits,when he says, "All things are possible to him that believeth;" only that the last phrase, through the technical or theological use of the term belief, has come to need au explanation that would have been superfluous when the words were first spoken. Identifying belief—which originally meant trust in a divine helper—with our religious consciousness, tbe saying in tae last form will come to mean thi*, "To the good aud true all right things are possible." • Than which no ono could desire a broader statement; no one should be satisfied with a narrower. The qualification "to him that believeth" contains this double condi tion, when we understand belief as trust in iv the diviue—viz., that hewhoso trusts is iv harmony with the divine, or he would not trust; and he will attempt only such things as might proceed from the divine : that is, he himself is a good man, aud attempts only the right. AYe must remember that not all things are possible to God. It is no compliment to the diviue Father of Love to represent him as no more than gigantic force, which a mere brute might be. Yet the limit to divine possibility does not lie in the want of force, but in tlie presence of that which is more divine than force. God is wise and good, aud would be far more dives.cd of deity by a sacrifice of wisdom than by a limit of power. God cannot lay aside :he most splendid attributes of His being, because He would then be God no longer. He can only do the right. Of necessity the same limit must pertain to the'man who trusts in Him; for God will never sid a man in doing that which God himself could not do—that which is ungodlikc. The phrase is ther. self-evidently true without any further limitation, "AU that ii right is possible to a good man." Accepted iv that form, it would reverse our whole system of morals aid of lite. For now, how often do men ask, Can we do this thing ? while all the time conscious that it ought to be done? Men who believe this principle will never be guilty of such treason as that question implies. That a thing ought to be, implies that.it can be. The conscientious soul mea sures ability ly duty, not duty by aiili'y; while duty is learned, not from considera tions of policy, but from the inwardly-heard voice of God. And then all life would be changed. In the giant strength of this holy and noble conviction,all those world-agitating questions of war and drunkenness, and poverty, and crime—all of them things that have no right to be tolerated another hour —would bo at once settled. We may be better prepared to see the full meaning of these words hy approaching them from another direction. Christ is to us tho ideal of man, of a true human life. Now, every ideal is simply the measure of the possibie. The mechanician who forms in his mind a perfect idea of some new machine works up to it till it is realised. There prevails a great confusion of thought on this point. You will hear men spoken of as visionary, theoretical, or unpractical, meaning that they are the propounders of something impossible and valueless—for no better reason than that thoy plead for a con dition of things much higher and belter than any that wa have reached. In a certain s-'ense they arc visionaly; but by no means unpractical. Is not every prophet visionary ?—is uot the very essence ot His life and work to see in holy visions of the mind better things than the world sees in its blinding slavery to seme ? Yet what man more practical than the prophet ? Were uot the Apostles visionary when they looked continually, and counselled men to look for the coining again of their great Master in a kingdom of universal peace and love ? VVhat would they have been without this ? Yet when did men ever give them selves as they did to tho practice of life! Now all these prophetic and apostolic visions were only the foresight of what should come to pass; they were the.ideal which the world should some day make real. Must not every great tiling for man be first a thought—an ideal—than a reality, because all true life is born of holy thought? Thus every true prophetic vision realizes itself—the ideal is the reality seen before its time. So true is this, that everything you now enjoy and glory in, was once a vision of God's true prophets of the race, without whom we should all still bo living in the most primitive state of rudeness. • Thus it is with Christ, the ideal mon. He marks out in vision the feal man that shall one day be everywhere found iv this world. He is the measure of humanity. Hence it is very natural that one who like Paul had so much reason to think a great deal of Chiist aud to ideutify him with hisownlife.should measure his sense of life's capacity by that ideal; "There is iv vision the holy revelation from Heaven, of what I may be and shall be." Scores of expressions that the Apostles used convey this all-pervading thought ; that Christ was himself the life iv the most real seine—as the life tbat should realize itself throughout humanity. But then comes the question. How shall this prophecy work itselt into reality ? Now that I sec the true measure of life, that "whatsoever is right is possihle,'*and that the right is before me iv this ideal life., what iuflucnoes are there to bring mo up to it ? How am I going to be thus strengthened for the attainment of what I see ? Wc might answer in oue word : By love, the love which these perceptions cannot biit iuspiie. But wc will put it more explicitly. First: Thoro is au iufluenco, a power of one being over another with which we arc all more or less acquainted, wherein the thoughts and feeliugs, tho character and purpose aud very life of one seems to be transferred to the other. We nil recognise it frequently, as we weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice - often without knowing the cause for eUh£r tears or gladness. We canuot look on any horrible torture, until we aro hardened to it, because the very pain stems to be transferred to our own nerves. A great deal of the pleasure wc feel in times of excite ment is from the transference of emotion from one to another. The coward suddenly becomes bravo as he watches deeds of bravery—the miser feels Ms pi.rao stringi looseucd amidst the overflow of charity-^ the bravest hearts have quailed amidst the panic of fear, whilo polluted and vile thoughts will tavnish the purest soul that lingers in the atmosphere of vice. There are four conditions on which this power of one over another depends: knowledge*of the character or person of the one whose power is exercised ; sympathy with him ; a per ception of his superiority ; and a conscious ness of his presence. Now mark how all these conditions are fulfilled in the case of Christ. A Christian is supposed to know Ch ist, iv the sense of knowing his mind and soul, his thoughts and very iuwird tffe* However the greatness and loftiness of the diviue soul of Christ may. transcend all em powers to measure and appreciate them, what .we do know exceeds in extent and is better known than what we think we know oE any human being whatever. The measure of our Christianity is the measure of our sympathy with Christ •. while of his immeasurable superiority there can be no need for. me \o speak. If, then, Chiist is as real and as truly, present to me as an ordinary human being his transforming power should be enormous. No doubt the great difficulty lies here. To most men he is not real, nor truly present, ■because there is now no fleshly Christ. And so all the sublime glories of a divine life are impossible to an unspiritual, dead, ana carnal world. But to an Apostle or a



genuine Christian it is otherwise $E ■ absence of the flesh brings tho t^.**!

But you might. well try to build a cathedtal withouti science of architecture as to do rightfrm wrong motives. When you leamfesd Christ then you will get from him capaoi, for all good. '• Thirdly : When we remember n_s* mean by knowing or loving Chrk j follows by the strictest sequence thatUut must raise us to the power of beigw C-rist like. _ To love Christ, as I have' Minted out, is to love the essential qualife ,• Christ, what he inwardly and spirituaUj was ; and that is the summing up oil) that is right and good in the idctlH But how now can yon love these thinp^ not attain them ?
