THE ODOR OF THE OINTMENT

Oiu' of ti'i<' most l)cautiful stories
ill the Ctosjx'Is is tlu' story of Mary's
action in tlu' suijpcr room at Hctli-
aiiy Avlien sh-O broke her alabaster
box at the feet of Jesus. Jesus had
stopped at Bethiiny on His last jour-
ney to Jerusalem, with the shadoAV
of the Cross falling already over His
life. There they riiade Him a sujijx'r
to do Him honor for the <rreat mir-
acle He had wrougfiit in their midst
a little while before. During the
supper Mary broujrht her precious
treasure and "anointed the feet of
Jesus and wiped His feet with her
hair."' .lesus was touched by the
motive of her act and ('eclared "Tt
is a beautiful thinjr she lias done to
me" (Moffatt's translation). One of
the eye-witnesses, who perhaps of all
the disciples best understood What
Mary meant, in telling the story
many years afterwards, added this
comment: "The house was filled
with the odor of the ointment."
(.John 12: ;}. ) .loliii remembered how
the sweet perfume ])erva<h'd all the
room wliere they were sitting, and
then stole out into all llie otln-i-
rooms till all the atmos|)hi-re of the
house was laden with its fragrance.

That widespread fragrance was
the result of Mary's act. The story
suggests the secret of fragrance in
Christian life.

(1) There is the fragrance of
sj)ontaneous gratitude. A great joy
had recently come into Clary's life.
Her brother Lazarus had died and
had been brought back to life. He
was sitting tln-re at the table with
Jesus, sharing in all the haj)py fel-
lowship of the supper. As Mary sat
by, looking upon the scene, there
came into her soul a fresh realization
of the wonder of it all — her brother's
new life, the new joy and happiness
of their home. And all this they
owed to the dear Friend who was
now in their midst. The gladness
of Mary's heart could not be con-
tained, but broke out in this beauti-
ful act of devotion.

The fragrance of gratitude will
pervade our lives, like the odor of
Mary's ointment, when we are mind-
ful of what we owe to Him who has
called us and all our fellow believers
out of darkness into the light of life.
(Iirist .Jesus has crealt'd for us the
eternal fellowship of Christian lu'arts.
This fellowship deejx'iis and sweet-
ens ;dl other human loves. It defies

ticipation to all tlic Miss of ftn-iiity.
And ail that it iiiraiis to us now.
and will iiifaii to us hcrcartcr. we
owe to the <rfat't' and love of our
Lord .Ifsiis ("Iwist.

el) 'Pht'i-t' is the fra Lira net' of sclf-
foi-urottin^ san-ilii-c. Mary broke
h»'r box ami poured all the eonteiits
out. She did not stop to ealeidate
the value of it. l>ut saerifieed it all
in lavish prodi'rality of love. If
Mary had done what the diseiples
would have liked lier to do, she
would have carefully poured (>ut
just enoujrh to serve for the time.
Christ would have been anointed,
and the rest mi^^ht have l)een used
for some other ^^ood j)urpose ; but
the frajrraiice would m)t have tilled
the whole house.

There are many «rood lives ju.st
like that. They i)erf()rm all that is
recpiiri'd of them faithfully. They
are solid aiul useful members of the
community. But somehow tlic l)rok-
i-nhearted never look to them for
symi)athy; men and women who
have failed or fallen never turn to
them for lielp. These lives do their
bare duty. What they want is frag-
rance, the power to charm aud to
attract. .

There are other characters, in
many ways imperfect. |)erhai)s. that
touch us with an irresistil)le charm.
They r^'spond with ready sym|)athy
to every need. They open up their
hearts to the troubled and the tried.
When there is work to l)e done, they
cheerfully take the lar«rest share:
when thei-e is a burden to be boi-ne
they are always ready to take the
heaviest end. They are ever jrivin^'
themselves away. It is not their
way to dole out their ointment. They
brt'ak their l)ox and sjx'nd it all.
And their lives are frajrrant with
sclf-forjrctfulness and self-abandon-
ing' love. The most frajrrant life in
alfthe world, the one life that draws
the toilinj.' and the heavy-laden, the
sinfid and the sorrowinj;, is the life

that was broken on the cross fori
others in utter sel f-for^ct fulness ;'
and all who take up the cross to fol-
low in His steps will have thcii- livesj

pervaded with the odor of His Selt'-l
saci'itiee.

(.'5) There is the fraj^rance of i)er-
sonal devotion. Mary's act was
meant for the Lord Jesus alone. She
was iu)t thinkin<>' of tlie discii)les or
of any others who were present. But
when she broke her jirccious box at
the feet of her Lord she could not
prevent the odor stealing all over
tlu' house and refreshing all who
were in it with its gracious influence.
When she ministered to Christ, she
unconsciously ministered to oth«-jr
lives as Avell.

This is always true of acts like
^Mary's. Every deed that is done out,
of personal love aud dev^^Aion for I
another carries with it a charm and
fragrance of its own. The highest
devotion of which ouv hearts are
callable is devotion Vo the living
Christ, and the swee/rest and most
widespread fragrance is that which
flows from acts that_ are doiu* for His
sake. There is a 'quality about all
that we do to |)lea.se Him that gives
a grace and digni'cy to things other-
wise trivial aud insignificant. The
sw(H>t savor of a life that is moved
Ity this motive not only gladdens the
heart of the L.ord ; it sweetens all the
atmosj)here a.bout it, enriching and
rcfresliing the souls of those who
t'onu' uiuler its influence.

The wor'td's greatest need to-day
is not ag'gressive Christianity, but
attractive Christianity. It is not
aggressiveness but attractiveness
that wins men and women for Jesus
Christ. "I, if 1 be lifted up. will
draw all men unto Me." And the
Church's greatest need is attractive
Christians. Should we iu)t learn to
live with grateful, self-foi'getful.
personal devotion to our crucified
and risen Lord? Then all the ac-
tions of our lives will carry some-
thing of the odor of the ointment.

• THAT I MAY KNOW HIM"

(An address gi\-en by Miss Kathar-

iin' Kreick at the (Jraduation
Exercises in Api-il.)

Life is often spoken of as a book,
and no matter which way we turn
tliei'e is always some lesson we may
learn. We are learning daily on onr>t«[
oi'dinary rounds; son'e of oni' les-
sons are ditlienlt and are learned
only aftei' mn(di toil and many fail-
ui'es; othei's are easier, while sonn'
are learned almost nnconsciously. ,
These may sei've various ])ui'])oses; ^
they may ludp us to become Ix'ttei- J
ae(|nainted with our work; they may
ludp us to know and understand oui
f(dlow-men better; and they m-,'. \
help us to know" ourselves.

l^ut I believe also that those of ii>
who are foUoAvers of the Lord Jesus
Christ have a lesson to learn and
that our lesson is "thut we may
know Him." Christ in Hrs great
High-Priestly prayer .desired that
His disciples might k.now the only
true God and Jesus C^ririst Whom He
hath sent, and He' said to those
gathered around Him "search the
Scri])tures for in ^them ye think ye
have eternal life and they are they
whiidi testify of Me.'' We may
know Him thron.gh' the studv of the
Word.

So here in the College as ^y^^
studied the Word day by day Ave
saw our God first of all as the (iod
of creation, all-wise in Hi-! plans, all-
powerful in carrying them out in the
various forms in Avliich we behold
them around about us to-day, in the
glory ()f the heavens, the beauty of
the earth, the vastness of the soa, ami
the multitudes of creatures, with
man as the ei'own of all created in
His own image. His carefulness
and concern are shown by the pro-
\ision wlii(di He lias made for the
preservation of the work of His
hamls.

Then as tinu' goes on and man
violates his liberty and changes his
relationship to his God, God is still

in<r with this nation we se<' Him to

sourees. Often tliey conhl see no
way ont, hnt (Jod was ahli'. In their
ex|)erienee we see Him woi'kinj:' ont
His own plans with a movement
whiidi is slow, steadfast, certain.

All thron^h. too. we see that He
is of i)nrer eye than to hehold evil,
a'nd tliat He cannot look n|)()n in-
i(l.\nty. He is ri^hteons, therefore
they mnst oti'er np sacrifices foi-
their \sins and mnst snfTer for their
trans«rr^«sions. Bnt onr (Jod is
ph'ased to^ reveal Himself to ns also
as a (4od of love. These are just a
few ^dimps(-»s into the lu'ai't of (iod.
The Scriptni'es testify of Him. And
then as we behold His jrlory by the
Word we also read that "we all with
open face beholVjinf; as in a jrlass the
jrlory of the Lok-d are cdianjred into
the same imajje l^roni jilory to jrloi-y.
even as by the S^iirit of the Lord."
Lookin<r npon Hin; Avith ojxni hearts
thron^di the AVord, we cannot Indp
but reflect His ima!ir<" in sonu' small
dejrree in our own lives. .Just as the
tiny dew drojis on tli<' ^n-ass in the
early morninjr reflect the <rlory of
the great sun above, .so, T believe,
the saints mirror their Ijord, each in
the way that He chooses, aiul by
their lives, ajrain, we learn to know
Him. l>y tin' lives of .some we are
renuiuled that He i.s steadfast, hy
others that He is pure, by others
true, and by othei's lovin<r, <rentli'.
compassionate, wise, watchful; ami
many other characteristics, which
speak to us of Him. are shown forth
by the lives of His own because " He
li\eth in us.""

In the experience of our own lives,
too, docs He very graciously reveal

Himself. When lirst we lieai'd the
(lospel and I'csponded. we rejoiced
in salvation, but we find that there
is .something; bettei- than salvation,
there is a Saviour. We have exper-
ienced deliverance in times of trial
and dit'lienlty. and are iii'ateful for
help in t inn' of 1 i-onlile ; bnl t liei-e is
somethinjr more than mere help;
tln're is a Fi'iend, One all-sufficient.
()ne "that sti(d<etli elosei' than a
brotlii'r."" In illness we lind in this
I'^riend a Physician, in pei'plexit ies
and dit'ticulties a Counselior. in dark-
ness a Light, along unknown j)ath-
ways a (Juido; and so does He be-
conu' all thinj^s to ns. and our \aried
expei'iences as we \iew llieni be-
come mirrors i-efiect in;:- Him. that
we may look upon Him and leai'u to
know Jlim.

We are grateful for the opportun-
ity to study the Word, for the pri\-
ileges of fellowship which this ('ol-
lege affords, and for the knowledge
we have gained of our Loi'd by
seeing Him reflected in the lives of
oni' insti-uctors ami fellow-Christ-
ians. We are thankful, too. for the
varied ex|)eriences H(.> brings us
through, because they all help us to
know Him better; and to know Him
better is to love Him nioi'e, serve
Him more faithfully, ami wait more
patiently for that tinu' when avc
shall see Him "lU) more through a
glass darkly, but face to face, when
we shall know e\cn as we are
known."" Till then our continued
lesson and our desire, like that of
the apostle, will be "that we may
know Him.""

HIS PRESENCE

I

ill |)iirit\-. (Iwcllin^- in tin' lii^'il w lii''li
no mail I'aii approacli unto. As I
have stood tluTc, almost overcome,
for they "wist not that tlieii- fae<'s
^hoiie.'" 1 have lhoii<iht •'llow mys-
tei-ioiis and yet how real."

Vou rememlxT the two as tliey
walked to Kmmaus. liow .lesiis joined
them, and how He (|Uestioned them
in His iisnal compassionate way.
"What manner of eommunieat ions
are these that ye have one to anotlief
as ye walk ami are sad.'" We can
pietnre their surprise at His i>i'nor-
anee. and imajrine with what vivid-
ness tlu'y woidd relate the story of
His own wonderful life and death,
and how even their own iiearts
would he lightened in the telling
about tho.se who elaimed to have
seen the risen Christ. "And lie-
ginning at Moses and all the pro-
phets. He expounded to them in all
the scriptures the things concerning
Himself." Now they reach the vil-
lage and request that He "abide . . .
for it is toward evening." We recol-
lect their words after -Jesus had
made Himself known to them and
disappeared, "Did not our hearts
burn within us while He talked with
us by the way and while He opened
to us the scriptures .'"

Have we not had the same experi-
.■iice.' How often have we repeated
and claimed "Where two or three
are gathered together in my nanu",
there am 1 in tlii' nudst." Has not
that been the something? Suppose
that something had been removed,
how inaiu' and foolish everything
w(Mdd have seemed. IT the dear oiu's
with whom we come in contact had
been at enmity with dod. would we
have had that fellowshi]) one with
another .' " I in them and Thou in
me. that they may be made perfect
in one." It is gloi-ions to think that
He is in the midst of two (»r three.
W.' know that. P.ut is He not with
each of us indi vi<lually, near us,
watcliing ovei- us, walking with us,
best of all within us?

We may be away from the two or
three, away fi'om one another, and
the uplifting iidiuences and kindly
actions, away from the patient
tea(diing of our consecrated instruct-
ors, but not away from Jesus. Re-
member the words of Mr. Bailey,
telling of his experiences in Africa —
"Sometimes Jesus seemed so real'
that 1 got off the path so that He
might have it as He walk(Ml beside
me. "

As we go into the world where
selfishness, love of pleasure, godless-
ness and vice are given such a large
jdace, and, later, as some of lis take
oui" positions to re|)resent Him in the
midst of the filth, darkness, an/cl'
gi-oss immorality of heathenism, . can
we not rest in the assurance thnt in
the centre of our being is thj^ very
life of the Son of God. Let^Kis recall
Mr. TnunbuU's illustrati/;:*n of the
little boxes. First a box of ordinary
pill-box size labelled "fjrod," inside
that a smaller one labell,ed "Christ,"
again a smaller box, "You," and in-
side a card "All things." All things
are yours and ye ave Christ's, and
Christ is God's. "I, am the vine, ye
are the branches." Oh, we know that
He is with us individually, but some-
times in the midst of our work, when
we seem to be called upon for one
thing after another, we do not
i-ealize this Presence.

i wonder why this is. AVe realize
His presence by faith, do we not?
"Faith Cometh by hearing and hear-
ing by the Word of God." We must
take time to be holy. I have (pioted
(Jod's word. "Faith cometh by hear-
ing, and hearing by the Wortl of
God." He says so. Now we are to
be used by Him as lights in the dark-
ness, as salt in its |)reserving and
swe»'tening (pialities. If we are not
in eonimuiucation with the Power
House, we are not fulfilling our office.

am fully eonvineed tiiat only 1»\ this

The adversary kn(»ws this and acts
aeeonlin^'ly. — as a beautiful aii^fl of
li^rlit he comes. He knows that we
understand the necessity for HibU'
study and pi'ayer: he concedes the
fact that we luive been taught that
the first fruits are for the Lord and
that our day must bejrin witli Him :
he ^M-ants that before retiring' we
should seek the protection of tlie
siielterino: winjrs. but at other times
when we know that our faith is be-
coming rather feeble, and the still
small voice says, "Come ye apart
with .Me and rest awhile." he hints,
"Xow this is your only chance foi- a
little friendly chat witli a dear one."
"You must «:et tliat letter written,
it will help your friend." "Voii need
a little physical rest at this particu-
lar time," and he makes you feel ex-
tremely tired.

Does not the Book say, "They that
wait upon the Lord shall renew their
stren<rth"' T have observed this,
tliat when we deny ourselves, or even
refrain from doing some work a]i-
jiarently for the Lord, He has always
made up for it. Li time, as in evei-y-
thin^r else we do for Jesus, "Give and
it shall be driven you, <rood measure,
pressed down, shaken totrether, and
runninfr over." Let us jijaii our time
under His <ruidance and He will sup-
j)ly our s])ii'itual need of food. He is
with us, let us realize His presence.

The loufr, lon^r day would be dreary.

And the restless nijrht so sad.

Aiul the days when I am weakest
Are the (lays He draws most in-ar.

And whis|)ers low to my weary heart.
His tenderest words of cheer.

Some day, some day I shall see Him.

He will bid the veil remove,
And bear me away in His own dear
arms

To the glorious liome above.

One tliinL;' that makes the work of
the l)ible Collcire so satisfying to
those who ai"e seeking to carry it on
is the spontaneous expressions of ajv
preciation that conn* from tliose who
are in the best !)osition to know it.
Shortly after the close of the last
session, the mother of one of the
students, sending a "donation to the
College funds, wi'ote to the Principal
as follows. The small jjacket to
whi(di she refers contained a number
of English gold and sihcr coins,
which were the first earnings she had
received as a young girl in giving her
first violin lessons:

"L. has so much enjoyed his work
at the College, and is already looking
forwai'd eagerly to lu^xt term, when
he hoi)es to resume his studies. My
object in writing to-day is to send
the enclosed small |)a(dvet, which 1
want you to |)lace in the College
treasury. The scraj) of jiajier will
tell its own tale. .My dear old
mother has kej)! it all these years,
and now that she is vei-y lu'ar to the
"BeautifiU (!ate" my sister sends it
l)a(dv to me. 1 am so glad it ean go
to tlie College which is proving sucdi
a blessin": to so manv."
