THE KING’S BUSINESS
Isa. 46:5, 9, “none like God.”
Shall we live at this poor dying rate? Are we satisfied with just success? Is there a healthy dissatisfaction with the past (Phil. 3:12-15)? Have we made the trinity of surrender—body, soul and spirit? Are we separate from worldliness? Have we devoted time, money and talents to God?

Rom. 6:23, “ gift” . Isa. 55:1, “without money.” 1 John 4:9, 10, “ God’s love manifest." 3. Poor Sinners: (1) Luke 5:32, 1 Tim. 1:15, “sinners.” (2) Rom. 3:23, “ all sinners.” (3) Isa. 55:7, “ wicked” ; 1 :18, “ sins as scarlet.” (4) Rev. 22:17, “whosoever.” 4. Eternal L ife : (1) “ Hath everlasting life,” John 5:24. (2) “ Sins forgiven,” Acts 10:43. (3) “ Children o f God,” John 1 :12. (4) “ Now” and “ shall be,” 1 John 3 :l-3. — L.

These things did these three mighty men” (2 Samuel 23:14-17; cf. 1 Chronicles 11:17-18). Dr. Evans is seen refreshing his thirst by a drink from this well. The old man in the picture has been in charge o f the well for many years, and has doubtless refreshed thousands o f tourists with a drink o f water from the same well from which David drank three thousand years ago.
