Later she found that at the very moment that they trust in Jesus as their Saviour, many, many boys and girls and grown-ups are happy and sure about their being saved. But God had shown her that, no matter how she felt, she was saved because she had come to the Saviour who said, “ Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” She had learned that it was God’s Word, not her feelings, that showed whether she was saved or not. The Second Window Looks Out Upon the Sea There on the blue waters sailed a ship, not such a big ship as we would see now bearing our missionary friends over to for eign lands, for this story happened a good many years ago. But it seemed like a very large ship to the slender young woman who sat on the deck watching the whitecaps dance on the waves. You would know her for little Jean grown up, for she had the same happy little smile, the same shining eyes. Children playing on the deck ran up to talk to her, and every one loved her friendly, helpful ways. She had heard Christ’s cal! to go out to tell of His love to those who did not know Him. One morning she watched the sun rise over a strange land, and its rays beat down on the brown skins of the men and women and little children with a fierce heat. She saw great temples glisten beneath that sun, and green palm trees wave in the breeze. The ship had reached the beautiful, won derful, sad land of India. Jean knew it was a sad land because what seemed like only a few of the many people there knew of God’s love in sending His Son to be the Saviour of the world. Not knowing of the Lord Jesus, these millions of people lived and died in the darkness of sin. The Third Window Looks Into the Land of India They sit in the zen ana, those
friends in India gather to say good-bye with tears— tears of sorrow because she is going away, and tears of joy because she has taught them thé way to the .heavenly Home where they will be sure to meet her again. And the Fourth Window Opens to the Sky T h r o u g h the

f o u r t h w i n d o w we do not see our little missionary. W e see the stars that remind us that those who bring many to the Lord Jesus will “shine . . . as the stars for ever and ever,” and we see the white clouds in the blue-sky
that remind us that some day the Lord Jesus will come back again in the clouds of heaven and then those who loved Him and followed Him on earth will be as near and dear to Him as a beautiful queen is near and dear to her king. Once Jean dreamed a wonderful dream. She thought she stood at the gates of the Beautiful City beyond the clouds, the stars, and the sun, the city where our Lord Jesus dwells, the city of which she often had read in God’s Word. The gates seemed to open, and she walked through, and a shining pathway led up to the throne of God. And as she walked up that path, the white- robed people and angels seemed to whisper joyfully, “ She is an overcomer. She has overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of His testimony, and has not loved her life unto death.” When Jean wakened from her dream, she asked G od to make her an “ overcomer.” And through the fourth window we do not see her because the dream has come true, and she has gone to stand before the throne of God. Isn’t it wonderful to know that any boy or girl can have a splendid, worth-while life with a beautiful welcome into the Heavenly Life, if he or she will take the three steps Jean took? First Jean confessed her sins and was washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus who died for her. Second, she believed God’s word was true, and rested on it. And third, she did just the work He asked her to do for Him. Memory Work For March Let us learn some of the “fear not” verses during March! Have you ever noticed the 'many times that these words occur in the Bible? It has been said that there is a “fear not” verse for every day in the whole year. X. “ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isa. 41:10). 2. “ For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee” (Isa. 41:13). 3. “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine” (Isa. 43:1).
sw e e t-fa ce d In dian women and girls, like birds in a cage, dressed in bright pretty clothes, for the z e n a na is the women’spart of the house where they must be shut care fully away from the world. How
eagerly they gather round the sweet, white faced missionary, the Miss Sahib,, who comes to read to them from the Bible and to tell them the story of God’s love! The little Jean who wept for her sins under the old apple tree is now the beloved missionary who can point the way to salva tion because she herself believed what God had to say about her sins and her Saviour. They all love her, the women and girls in the zenanas, the old leper woman by the wall, the man who drives the bullock cart, big Tommy the gatekeeper, and the school girls, who are just like school girls in America, sometimes good and sometimes naughty. And when the long years of happy work for the Lord Jesus are over, these
