174 come to Cusco, and had led a life filled with evil deeds so that the taking of a man’s life was a little thing in his estimation. He was accosted by a person who offered him one thousand pesos, or nearly $440 if he would kill a man who was very bad, and who was doing very much harm. He confessed that every time he made the attempt there seemed to be a hand that prevented him. Since they had not been able to accomplish the deed, they were paid a goodly sum to keep quiet, and so he had until now. Investigation led to the almost certain knowledge that it was all at the instigation of the parish priest, who was greatly incensed at William’s renewed activities in the city. He left the place rather hurriedly.. Although the affair had not been given a great deal of publicity by the little band of evangelists, yet it increased the sympathy of the com munity toward them. The would-be assassin gratefully accepted a Bible and other literature, promising to read and study them, then he left the city, also glad to escape such punishment as he felt he deserved, and puzzled at such magnanimous forgiveness. The evangelists turned their thoughts toward home, hay ing been absent a number of weeks. So over the mountains, along steep precipices and deep gorges, they wound their way. They were happy over the work accomplished, were rejoicing over dangers escaped, and looked forward with joy to their return to the farm. (To be continued) ¿¡fe á¡fc m m F A I T H Are we unscientific when we say that “ by faith we under stand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God’ ” Is not faith even evinced by the evolutionists? Not being able to substantiate the entire process of the evolu tionary theory, scientific men hope for what is lacking. They so hope for these things which have not come to light that, despite the absence of many needed steps and essential missing links, they scour the world in expectation of finding “ the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Thus (using the definition of Hebrews 11:1) in a purely secular sense, certain men are exercising faith on behalf of their own theories, while disdainfully opposing those who also exercise a hope, which is a confident assur ance, that things have been, are and will be, expressly as stated in the inspired Word of God. The man who puts his faith in evolution as the explanation of creation, hopes for something which will magnify man’s wisdom and make it • appear more to be depended upon than the revelation we have in the early portion of our Bible. He hopes for the substantiation of the evolutionary explanation of creation, while we hope for— with restful expectancy— the proving of the Biblical account in every particular that It touches. We would rather be found participating in that faith which hopes for the reputation of God’s Word, than in that which hopes for its refutation.— China’s Millions. Aifc. Áte. ' 3Ü &
