THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS talked and talked, but it’s of no use.” The doctor thought she had not much skill, and said, “Now you be quiet and I will talk to her alone.” When the doctor got the Scotch lassie alone, he said to her, “ They are bothering you a great deal about this question; now suppose I just tell your mother you. don’t want to be talked to any more upon this subject for a year. How will that do?” Well, the Scotch lassie hesi tated a little, and then said she didn’t think it would be safe to wait for a year, something might turn up. She might die before then. “Well, that’s so,” replied the doctor, “ but suppose we say six months.” She did not think even this would be safe. “ That’s so,” was the doctor’s reply; “ Well, let us say three months.” After a little hesi tation the girl finally said, “ I don’t think it would be safe to put it off for three months— don’t think it would be safe to put it off at all,” and they went down on their knees and found Christ. — From Moody’s Child Stories. M M SHALL IT COME TRUE? In our May issue we made a review of an absorbingly interesting book, re cently published by Dr. Aristide Malin- vemi, for twelve years priest and editor of the Roman Catholic Church, and now pastor of the Waldan United Presby terian Mission in our city. In this book, entitled "My Conversion and Reasons That Led to It,” the author discusses all the principal antagonistic features of Romanism versos Evangelical Chris tianity. He sounds the alarm to the Protestants of this free and great coun try, warning them of the impending danger of losing their hard-won liber- ^ ties; warning them of the oncoming cloud prophetically seen by the Immor tal Lincoln.

The “ AJlfe” of Salvation jFTER the evening service at the mission, the preacher was hurrying away to a late train. .He had just three minutes in
which to catch it. Fortunately, the station was close at hand. A gentle man came running after him. “ Oh, sir,” said he, breathlessly, as he came up, “ can you speak to me? I am very anxious about my soul.” “ Well,” re- plied the missioner, “ my' train is just here, and it is the last one; but look up Isaiah 53:6. Go in at the first ‘all’, and go out at the last ‘all’. Good night.’ The gentleman stood staring after him until he disappeared into the station, and then he muttered, “ Go in at the ’first ‘all’ and go out at the last ‘all’. What does it mean?” When he arrived at home he got down a Bible. He turned to the text and read these words: “ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the in iquity of us all. “ Go in at the first ‘all’,” be repeated. “ ‘All we like sheep have gone astray.’ . I am to go in with that ‘all’. Yes, I see. It just means I am one of those who have gone astray. And go out with the last ‘all’. ‘The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.’ I see- Yes, I am to go out free with those whose iniquity has been laid on Christ.” That short, pithy com ment brought, by the Holy Spirit, light and peace to that man’s conscience and heart, and he rejoiced in Christ as his Savior.— The Christian Herald.
