wards those who belong to Him Our Lord has told us it would be so (John 15:18). The only thing Christ has prom ised us from the world is persecution (John 16:33). But the noble army of mar tyrs praise Him. Think of the early Christians thrown to the lions, Ridley and Latimer burned at the stake, the Hugue nots hunted from their homes, the Cov enanters hounded by the troops o f Claver- house, and noble women, like Margaret Wilson and her friend, drowned in the Solway. How small is cur suffering along side o f theirs! Abiathar had a sad story to tell David about the killing of “the Lord’s priests” by Saul, but David allayed his fears and calmed his trembling by assuring him, “Abide with me; fear not, for he that Seeketh my life seeketh thy life, but with me thou shalt be in safeguard” (1 Sam. 22:22, 23). Companionship with our Lord makes up for any hardship we may pass through. That is what comforted the heart of Paul. He mentions in Rom. 8: 35, seven things which might separate him from the love of Christ, and in Rom. 8: 38, 39, ten other things which might do their best to accomplish this separation; but he is persuaded that their purpose will never be accomplished, for that love is a tie that no power on earth or in hell can ever sever .—Prophetic News.
The Traitor W ithin . A garrison is not free from danger while it has an enemy lodged within. You may. bolt all your doors and fasten all your windows; but if the thieves have even a child within, who can draw the bolts for them, the house is still unpro tected. All the sea outside the ship can not do it damage till the water enters within and fills the hold. Hence, it is clear, our greatest danger is from within. All the devils in hell and tempters oh earth could do no injury if there were no corruption in our nature. The sparks will fly harmless if there is no tinder. Alas, our heart is our greatest enemy; this is the little home-born thief. “Lord, save me from that evil man, myself.” — C. H. Spurgeon. —o— Suffering and Sympathy Because of his association with David, the life o f Abimelech was threatened (1 Sam. 22:11-16), and the priests and others were slain (22:18, 19). Identification with Christ will bring suffering for and with Him. When hate burns within the heart cruelty will be found in the hand. “Wicked hands” slew Christ (Acts 2:23), and un righteous men would do the same to
Exposition in Chicago, front the text • “The Son of man is come to seek and to save" that which was lost.” After he had finished, a little boy was brought to the platform by an officer, who said he had found the child wandering in the crowd, evidently lost. Mr. Moody took the little fellow in his arms, and standing before the great throng, asked them to look at thè lost child. ■“This boy has a father who is no doubt at this moment looking for him with anxious heart,” said he. “The father is more anxious to find his boy than the boy is to be found. It is just so with our heavenly Father. He is seeking us today, seeking us with unspeakable solicitude. For long years He has been following you, O sinner. He is following you still. He is calling you today.” At that moment,a man with blanched face was seen elbowing his way toward the platform. As he reached it the little boy saw him and, running across the plat form, threw himself into his father’s out stretched arms. The multitude that wit nessed the scene broke out in a mighty cheer. “Thus,” cried Mr. Moody, “will God re ceive you if you will only run to Him to day. ‘The Son o f man is come to seek and to save that which Was lost.’ ,
