S e a r c h - l i g h t s FROM THE WORD By Dr. G. Campbell M organ (PermissionFlemingH.RevellCo.)
“ Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee” (Luke 1 :28). These were the words which Gabriel employed when, sent from God, he came" to Nazareth,' to tell Mary the awful and tremendous secret o f the part she was chosen to take in the Divine activity of human redemption. Thus the angel greeted her in the terms o f respect, born of his apprehension of the greatness of the sabred sorrows and j oys which were to be her portion. Moreover, his words reveal the fact o f her character and fit ness for the high honor J/' she was a woman “ endued with grace,” and one ■vyith whom the Lord was in communion. The Christian Church generally has, in the process o f time, fallen into two attitudes toward the .Virgin Mother, one of which is utterly wrong, while the other is mistaken. The first is that of the Roman Church, which has placed her be tween humanity .and ’ the Son of God. This is idolatry, and its effect has Been disastrous. The second is that of Protes tantism, which, in a warranted rebound from Mariolatry, has forgotten to hold the mother, o f our Lord in the esteem which is due to her. Mary was a mem ber, o f the sinning race, and needed, and shared in the redemption which was pro vided by her Son ; but the honor con ferred on her was of the highest, and our thoughts o f her, and our language Con cerning her, should at least not lack the dignity and respect manifested in the, words o f Gabriel. Hers was the-crown and glory of all Motherhood, and we should ever think and speak o f her rev erently. * ----------------------------------------- :-----------------f SCRIPTURE ALPHABET P ----------------------:-----— ------------ :--------- An Alphabet of Bible Promises A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you (Eze kiel 36:26).
