with her children. Do you know what she was telling the Lord? She said, “Father, You gave Charlie to me and then You saved him and he belongs to You. You bought him and so You took him home for I know You have a right to do this. But since You took Charlie away from me and let me raise these seven little children, I expect You to take care of me and the children. Lord, I believe You will do it. Lord, when I see You and all the angels I’m going to tell them how You kept Your word with me. You said, ‘Let your fatherless children trust in me, and let your wid ows trust in me.’ I’m going to do. it now and as long as I’m here on earth!” Here, again, we find peace with God as well as the abiding peace of God. I stood beside a Christian man as his factory burned to the ground. He was penniless since he had no insurance. The bottom fell out of everything. We went down to the sub-cellar where only ashes were left and I said, “Mis ter, you’re broke!” He shook his head, “No, I’m not broke. All of that didn’t belong to me. Some years ago I gave my business to my Father in heaven. It was His business. I was just His office boy running the place for Him.” The very next night He was out on the street comer singing at the top of his voice, “Jesus saves, Jesus saves.” The newspapers were so struck by it that they put his story on the front page of the next edition. The total loss was about $250,000, and yet he could sing, worship and praise God without any depression. He had the peace of God. The Lord wants you to have both kinds of peace. You know, I wouldn’t mind going around the world in my old model car if the man who designed it and made it was sitting beside me. I have been on ships in storms both in the air and , on the sea. I enjoyed perfect peace as I looked at the captain and saw that he had charge. So you look to the Spirit of God and to the Lord Jesus Christ. The peace of God will fill your heart and mind. The love of God will con sume your life and you will have peace and sweet rest as a blessing to others and a comfort to yourself. II
Lord Jesus, I thought I was going to have to live to be a real old woman before I ever saw You. Now the doc tor tells me I’m going to see You real soon. In just a few weeks I’m going to see You. I’m so glad. You gave Your life for me. You died for me. You suffered terribly on the cross for me. I want to see You and tell You I love MY BIBLE AND I We've traveled together, my Bible and I, Through all kinds of weather, with smile or with sigh! In sorrow or sunshine, in tempest or calm! Thy friendship unchanging, my lamp and my psalm. We've traveled together, my Bible and I When life had grown weary, and death e'en was nigh! But all through the darkness of mist or of wrong, I found there a solace, a prayer, and a song. So now who shall part us, my Bible and I? Shall "ism s" or "schisms," or "new lights" which try? Shall shadow for substance, or stone for good bread, Supplant thy sound wisdom, give folly instead? Ah, no, -my dear Bible, exponent of light! Thou sword of the Spirit, put error to flight! And still through life's journey, until my last sigh, We'll travel together, my Bible arid I. You for it. I want to fall at Your feet and worship and adore You.” She went out of the door weeping for joy for, you see, she had the peace of God. There was a widow lady whose hus band had just passed away and left| her with seven little children. I went to see if she had any food for it was already a very poor family. When I entered the home she was .praying
