the presence and power of the living Christ. The Saviour is interested in every phase of our lives. As you go to your place of business, He goes with you. He is particularly inter ested in the things of your home. He goes with the young people to school. In every walk of life, He is right with each of us. Always, everywhere, from the time we give our hearts to Him, until the time we rest with Him in glory, we have a wonderful Compan ion whose name is the Lord Jesus Christ. Have you ever thought about His' magnetic power? It was His positive declaration, “I will draw all men unto me.” As He has been lifted up He has continually drawn men to Him. The Lord does it to the rich and to the poor; to the high and to the low; it makes no difference. Are we glad He draws us? Can you sing: 0 happy day that fixed my choice On Thee my Saviour, and my God. You go to church and hear a great sermon. Your heart is deeply moved and you feel Him drawing you closer. You may be seriously ill and during your darkest moments you promise God that if He will give you back your health, you will serve Him. How many have done this and forgotten the promise they made. Someday, the drawing will cease, the magnetism will be over, and your final destiny will have been determined by the de cisions you made while the door of salvation was open. We cannot leave this subject with out thinking about the blessed hope and of how the Lord said, “I will come again.” He is definitely coming back for us someday; make no mis take about it. Once I was f r i g h t e n e d at the thought of His coming. My mind was occupied with my home and my work. I didn’t want to leave my loved ones. He is coming, however, not to break up these things, but to make them perfect and complete. He will take us to a better home and give us a better work. We will be united with our loved
ones in a land where we will never part again. Moses wept because he was not going to enter the promised land. I feel certain God must have said to him, “Moses, I’ve something better for you. I have a promised land that far surpasses this one.” How true He has always been to His blessed Word. He has told us, “If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him.” The Motion Picture Academy gives awards each year to the best actors and actresses. These decisions are kept secret until the evening of the big banquet. All Hollywood attends the gala affair. Millions of dollars worth of jewels and firs are there to dazzle those who are gathered. The TRUST Are you dreading some dire trouble That tomorrow holds for you? Rest in Him, and trust God fully; Futures can't belong to you. You repeat, "The Lord's my Shep herd;“ Is He yours? Do you believe That the circumstance He sees best, He will cause you to receive? It must grieve Him that we limit His vast power so tragically When we have this priceless sonship, And His All is ours so free. We CAN'T WORRY, if we trust Him; We can never anxious be; All is ours. The life abundant Is for you; and is for me. — Mother Mac suspense is sometimes so great that some of the supposedly most glamor ous stars break down and weep. The awards are merely some gold-plated statues called “Oscars.” My friend, I am thinking of another day at the re turn of the One who said, “Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me to give to every man according to his work.” Oh, what a day that will be! Are you ready for His coming? If not, give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ now and discover what His blessed “I wills” can mean for your life. 31
