Our day has tried everything else; is the Church equal to the task of inciting it to try now the water which quen- ches all thirst?

This great tale is laid in a scene of | such absorbing interest that this com. mentator's temptation is to dwell over | long upon it, as a familiar spot. Three | times I have visited Jacob's well, which | for about four thousand years has min- | istered to human thirst, even as it as-| suaged mine on a hot midsummer day | fast year. One of the undisputed sites | of the Holy Land is this well dug by! the Patriarch Jacob, as long a time before the birth of Christ as our day is after it. Thoughts of Jacob, and the long line of reverent descendents who drank from this well along the main highway running north and south through the | Land of Promise; and of the Christ- ian pilgrims; and of the Crusaders who built a church over it, are crowded out | of the mind of the visitor to the well, now surrounded by a chapel of the Greek Church by memories of the Mas- ter, who, wearied, once rested on this very well-curb. Grooved and worn by the leather thongs and ropes of centuries and mil- leniums, the stone at the mouth of the well takes its place among the sacro- sanet antiquities. Once it was the seat of the tired Traveller who forgot his own fatigue in ministry to a sin-cal- loused spirit. This well-curb was the pulpit from which Jesus preached his own Messiahship in terms so clear and unveiled that even the worldly woman understood his identity. Here he set forth the revolutionizing doctrine t "God is a Spirit". In this approprifite setting Christ offered to a thirsty race the Water of Life, Is it any wonder that those of us who, leisurely and repeatedly, have | visited this shrine hold it in dear and frequent memory ?l even prize the sedl- ed bottle of water from the well, such as pilgrim's purchase, which one of A Man And A Woman.

One of the countless incidental corroborations of Scripture is the fact that this well is a hundred feet down from curb to the surface of the water; and the latter is some thirty feet deep. Poor Congregation; Great Sermon. Staggering is the condescension of Christ. He who withheld not his best message from the proud pharisée, Ni- codemus; unfolded to a lone woman, and she not fit to associate with de- cent people, the unsearchable truth of the transitoriness of earth's satisfac- tions-- 'Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again,'--and of the sufficiency of the spiritual gifts of God ~"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.' To this congregation of one, and she an uncomprehending woman, Jesus unfolded, with diviné lavishness, the Magna Charta of human worship, the word for our own day: "God is a Spi- rit, and théy that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." That stupendous deliverance must be received in the light of all anclént rit- ualism, and of the narrowtriess of sec. tarian cofitrovérsy. dded to this was the amazing de- laration to the woman that the Man who had sought drink of her was none other than the oft-predicted, long-ex- pected Messiah. What a sermon for such a congregation? Who will dare withhold his best from even the least, in the light of this? Talk On Two Levels. This famous interview resembled much of life in that it was an effort to pierce the veil of a great misapprehens sion. Misunderstandings are as come mon 3s speech. The talk was on two levels, Jesus spoke in spiritual terms, "the wotnan answered him ii material terms. When he offered the water of life and spiritnal satisfaction phe thought only of labor-saving and phy. sical comifort. All the way thrqugh, she failed to grasp the greathess'of what she heard. In the end her message to her neighbors was on thé low plaiie of, "Come see a man, who told me all things that ever I did." May we not pause to contemplate the mi ess of mahy lives, like that of the aritan womdn? Jesus had no scorn for her, but only compassion. Observe the tactful way in which he let hér know that her past, with its many paramours, was an open to him. She was biit one of the many who fail to understand; whose spiri- tual perceptions have been dulled by sin. That is possibly worst conse- quence of sin; it destroys the fine edge of the soul's sendibilities. It is more than a coincidence that dissipated peo- ple are "loud" and coatse and hard, fall of we-kewcahared or heard, con- versations like this one, wherin a rar- er spirit is talking above our level.

DuVern Archbisho, of Salina. » The tendency of our age is toward greater mental stress and physical stain. The scores of néw inventions, such as the motorcar and the flying machine, are setting the pace, and it is the pace that kills. Life, it is true con- sists in activity for a progressive pur- pose but the inward energy of living beings must be harmoniously adjusted to their outward environment. At pres- ent the vital energy of our race is not able to keep up with mechanical pro- gress of our age. Statistics show; that high blood pressure has increased over 40 per cent in the last ten years. There is, however, one hopeini fea- ture. The new science of the mind can vital chain are mind energy, nerve en- ergy and muscular energy. Pick up exhausted nerve force, and exhausted Pick up this chain by the ather end and we discover that excessive mental activity produces nefvous exhaustion, and nervous exhaustion leads to physi- cal breakdown. In seeking to counteract The tenden. cy of this rushing age toward prema- ture physical collapse, the first re- quisite is a restful mind. To secure this it is necessary to drop the idea of rest deep into the subconscious mind. Without any effort the conscious mind slowly revolve round this idea of rest to the exclusion of all other ideas. Mus- cular relaxation through the law of association is an aid to this process. Half an hour each day of systematic muscular relaxation and perfect mental rest would work wonders with high- strung nervous people. To anyone will- ing to learn the art of resting we would say; Sit in a reclining chair with the body stretched out in a comfort- able position and the feet up. Give yourself firmly the repeated sugges- tion: "I am relaxing. All the muscles of my body are growing limp, My mind is resting." Then bring your re- ligion into action, Rest in the Lord. Claim the promise of perfect peace made to those who stay their mind upon their God. re Only by combining the help of both psychology and religion can we hope to offset the killing pace of this rush- ing age. In this connection nothing could be maore appropriate than the words of Whittier: "Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, . And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace." ---- There is a certain charming feml- teach us the art of restiig.
