BIOLA CHORALE TOUR
sorrows of our broken hearts. It was here at Bethany that he re proved Martha. She was encumbered about much serving. She did things for the Lord that were wearisome and hard to her. If the work you are doing for God is difficult and burdensome, then it isn’t of God. His burden is easy. Are you like that? Are you troubled about many things, things that you don’t have and things you do have, troubled about people, troubled about finances, troubled about the home life? Jesus said to Martha, “Mary hath chos- SUFFERING Lord, let me not forget this pain, For it has come to be A tide which bears me on its crest. Closer, dear Lord, to Thee. Lord, let me not forget this grief, Because from day to day I learn how tender is the hand Which wipes my tears away. Lord, let me not forget how weak I am, but how Thy strength Is all-sufficient, and supplies The need of each days' length. Let me not forget that my sin Cost Thy last drop of blood A s though 'twere shed for me alone, O, blessed Son of God! Remembering these, the day I stand And look into Thy face, It may be I can faintly glimpse The measure of Thy grace. — Martha Snell Nicholson en that good part which shall not be taken away from her.” Mary was in the front room worshipping the Sav iour, sitting at His feet, learning His Word and His ways. She only wanted Him, while Martha was doing things for Him. The Lord is more anxious to have your love than He is to have your work. Ask your heart, “What does my Lord mean to me?” Meet Him at Beth any, the crossroads, today. Make Him your Lord as well as your Saviour. Take a trip to Bethany!

REAL OR IMITATION The world seems to be so counter feit and filled with imitations. The one condemnation people often hurl at Christianity is that the church is full of hypocrites. It may seem that this is true, but that is no excuse for your staying away. Remember, there is always room for one more. In the field of jewelry, there is a way to differentiate between real and imitation pearls. I f held close to a fire the real ones will be unaffected. I f they are not genuine this test will usually cause the outward surface to curl up and to deteriorate. Even so, a sure way to distinguish the hypo crite from the real Christian is to watch him under trials and testings. I f it is all merely show, it will be revealed. The true believer will, by the grace of God, endure patiently as did Job. No one is any stronger than when he is subjected to the fires of life. The beautiful Scriptural ex planation causes us to give this tes timony, "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not des troyed, always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” 8
