Suggest to him that they are doing just what he is doing—living without a Saviour, living a life of wickedness and preferring rebellion to obedience. Whatever argument is raised should prayerfully be turned about and used on and with the per son to whom you are addressing yourself. Often you will hear the declaration that the church is full of hypocrites. When any one tells you this, put out your hand and grasp his and tell him how glad you are that you have met a man with discernment enough to tell the difference between a hy pocrite and the real, genuine Christian. Not everybody has this ability. Your friend has stated clearly that he does know the dif ference. You can congratulate him on this, and thus you will remove the props of his excuse and he will see that he is caught in a trap— a trap that you have set for him be cause of your genuine concern for his eter nal welfare. Having praised him for his spiritual discernment in telling the differ ence between the hypocrite and the Chris tian, you may tell him that it should be easy for him to become a real Christian because he certainly does not want to be a hypo crite. By means of this line of reasoning, he will no doubt listen to your gospel and in many cases will accept the Saviour. Many are the devices that Satan, the enemy of souls, uses to deceive the minds of those who are without Christ. Let me recommend to each reader a careful study of this blessed business of soul-winning. Only the Lord Himself knows the heart of every man. May He guide us in discover ing soul needs, in presenting the exact rem edy from the Word, and in so presenting our wonderful Saviour that hearts will re ceive Him.

A young gentleman going to church one Sabbath with an old gentleman in Skye ventured to remark, after having walked some miles in silence, that it was a beautiful day. “Yes, indeed, young man,” answered his companion, “it is a very beautiful day; but is this a day to be talking about days?” — T h e Quiver.

they asked a lot of questions about the country, but they sure were nice, Muz,” Bob told his mother that evening. The boys played store all week, and several times the same party of men stop ped, bought, chatted. One morning Bob's mother said, smiling, "Having you laid up is pretty bad, Sonny, but not half as bad as I thought it would be. You’ve been so— nice.” Bob felt a tingle of pleasure, and then a flush of shyness came into his cheeks. But his steady blue eyes smiled into hers. “W ell, it was this way, Muz,” he said, and then in a burst of confidence he told her what Cousin Margie’s words had started in his life. : When, he had hobbled away whistling, she stood still, looking with unseeing eyes into the woods beyond the potato patch. She was thinking back fourteen years to the day when she had come, with her young husband, as a happy bride to the little farm house. She had been an art student in the big city. How happily, as bride and groom, they had planned that they would hire help on the farm, and that she would go on with the painting she loved so well! But the first crops were poor, and then Bobby came— her first baby. Joyously she had dedicated him to God for the mission field, and plan- _ ned to paint beautiful pictures and help with his education. But instead, there were other little ones to care for, there was her hus band’s sickness, and always there was more work than' she could do. And now-—she •looked at her stiff, rough fingers that could never use a paint brush skillfully again, and tears of resentment smarted her eyes. But if her boy, at the beginning of life, could say to the heavenly Father, “Not mine— but Thine,” and be glad about it, God could give her grace to do it, too. Bob rushed up to her as fast as his lame foot would let him. He didn’t notice that there was a new, happy light shining in her face. • “O Mother,” he exclaimed, “the Gov’- ment men want a guide for a week, a fellow that knows the country. They’re looking for tall timber, and I can ride with them while my foot gets well—they’ll p a y me—they want M E!” The jumble of words was out, and the boy and his mother hugged each other in sheer delight. In a few minutes, the mother was alone again. Her eyes turned once more to the woods beyond the potato patch. God was good. It was a grand thing to love His will. Suddenly she caught her breath. W hat was that about “tall timber”? Beyond the reach of her eyes she know there lay a long stretch of woodland, her father’s gift to her. They used to gaily call it their “park,” but they had been too busy even to visit it for years. The tallest, straightest timber for miles around grew there. The Govern ment wanted timber! That meant money, and that meant help for her sick husband, clothes, food, school fo r B obby. She bowed her head. Truly God’s will was always good, acceptable, and perfect.
