forts, trusting our longings, trusting our watchfulness—aye, trusting our prayers. It is not trusting Christ And what is the hope of any man who seeks for holi ness? Christ is our Hope, and w.e touch Him by faith.— J. Elder Camming. May 25— “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith o f the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Gal. 2:20). A Christian is a heavenly man. He is a partaker of the divine nature. He is dead to the world, dead to sin, alive to God. He has not a single link with the world; he belongs to heaven. He is no more of the world than Christ, his Lord. Could Christ take part in the amusements, gaieties, and follies of the world? The very idea were blasphemy. Well, then, what of the Christian ? Is he to, be found where his Lord could not be?’ Can he consistently take part in the things which he knows in his heart are contrary to Christ ? . . . The grand question is this: Is Christ my one object? Has His love for me drawn forth my soul in love to Him ? Can I say: “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave him self for me” ? Nothing less than this is worthy of a Christian, - — C. H. Mackintosh. — o — May 26— “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish” (John 10:28). Death cannot touch the Christian’s life. If you were told that you were granted life, a new life, and that it would last for a thousand years, would that satisfy you? “Well,” you say, “a thousand years is a long time, but even a thousand years will come to an end; and what then ?” But suppose you were told you had life for ten thousand years; would you be satis fied? “No,” you say, “for ten thousand years will come to an end; and what then ?” Then you try to comprehend eter nity, and you think and think until your brain seems to reel, and you give it up, conscious that the idea of eternity is too great for a finite mind to grasp. Yet so are we constituted by God that nothing short of “eternal life” will satisfy us. —John R. Caldwell. 6 — May 27— “Jesus said . . . I f any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matt, 16:24). Are you afraid that an enthroned Lord would make demands upon you that would shatter your life plans and crush your cherished hopes and ambitions? This may well be if they are unworthy ones. While I can say nothing as to what He may do, I know this: “He is tenderer than the tenderest, He’s the fairest of the fair; He will be thy soul’s defender, Thou mayest rest in safety there. Though fierce enemies surround you, And you sink in life’s alarms, He will surely place around you His strong, everlasting arms.” —Harold St. John. — 6 — May 28— “That ye might be filled With all the fulness of God” (Eph. 3:19). —
A New Book By D r . ( . M . Hafdeman Pastor of the First Baptist Church of New York City Is Always A n Even t His latest book just off the press is the most remarkable he has ever written.

It is an endorsement of the “Scofield Bible” whose publication and sale Mr. Mauro wishes to be stopped. It is a demonstration and proof that Dispensational Truth which Mr. Mauro denounces, is the Infallible Key of the Bible.
