“ ‘God bless and save u s! And save his honor, and save the people and all o f usl’ “ For the space of half an hour the thunder was frequent, and each time she prayed. Then she told Mr. Johnson this story, which has a good moral in its defining o f the proper spirit which should belong to prayer: “ ‘There was a man, and he was working in a field, and it came on to thunder, and he put his head in a hole in the wall, and he said, “ God save whet’s out o’ m e!” But he ought to have prayed for the whole o f him; for he no sooner said that than the wall fell and took his head clean off. “ ‘It was telled to me that this was a judgment on the crathur, because it is not right, to pray small, just for yourself. But you should pray large —to save us all—pray big and open- hearted. But that may be only a. story, sir.’ vi “That may be'only a story,” but it has its lesson, for if he had prayed wholly for himself, the whole o f himself would have been preserved. The fact is, if we are to pray wholly, we must have a whole-hearted confidence born of a whole-hearted con secration. Mr. Spurgeon once related how in going through "the famous factory at Sevres, he noticed an artist painting a very beautiful vase. He says: “ I looked at him, but he did not look at me. His eyes were better engaged than in staring at a stranger. There were several persons at my heels, and they all looked and made observations, yet the worker’s eye never moved from his work. He had to paint the picture upon that vase, and what benefit would he get from noticing us, or from our noticing him? He kept to his work. W e would fain see such abstraction and con centration in every man who has the Lord’s work to do. ‘This one thing I do.’ Some frown, some smile, but ‘this one thing I do.’ ” In the Apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus, the believing thief who was crucified with Christ is represented as entering Para dise, “ a miserable figure, carrying the .Sign o f the Cross upon his shoulders.” And seeing him, all the saints said to. him, “Who art thou? For thy countenance is like a thief’s? And why dost thou carry a cross on thy shoulders?” In answer to them he said: “Truly have ye said that I was a robber and a thief in the world, doing all sorts o f evil upon the earth. And for all these things the Jews crucified me along with Jesus . . . . . And He gave me the sign o f the cross, saying, ‘Walk into Paradise, carrying this.’ ” M M arch 31, 1928 Text: Mark 10:14 In Bunhill Fields cemetery there is the following epitaph oh the tomb of an infant: “ In memory of Westfield Lilley, son of Westfield and Sarah Lilley, who died June 2nd, 1798, aged one year and ten months. “ Bold Infidelity, turn pail and die, Under this stone an Infant’s ashes lie.

In The Twinkling of An Eye By Sydney D. Watson
There is a growing interest in the whole subject of *The Lord’s Coming,** and many thousands have been awakened, quickened, even converted, by reading “ In The Twinkling of an Eye,** who would never have studied their Bibles to learn the precious truth of the Second Coming of the Lord, or looked at an ordinary pamphlet or book upon the subject. It is one of .the most startling books in the annals of Christian literature— just the book to interest, to solemnize and awaken careless, ill-taught, professing Christians to a realization of the fact that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Although written in fictional form, the book cleaves close to Scripture. Cloth $1.75 Why I Believe in the Virgin Birth O f Jesus Christ By Dr. Wm. Evans Dr. Evans has given a fine Scriptural argument for the truth of the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.
