what is needful a t the burning altar. This fire of offering was to be kept burning all the time. God is going to have people in heaven out of every kindred, lan guage, and social strata. I don’t know how old you were when you found the Lord as your Saviour. Whenever it was, it took place because Christ’s sac rifice was more than sufficient; it was efficacious. The Lord doesn’t ask you how bad you were. As a matter of fact, I think the worse you are the better He likes to save you. I have been a physician for many years. People come to me with head aches, pimples or corns to be treated. Yet, I always enjoyed being able to help someone who really had some thing wrong with him. This showed whether I had any skill or ability. The Lord sent me some very difficult cases, and yet He also gave me the wisdom to be a help. The Lord likes to work the miraculous, I am convinced. Don’t let the devil tell you that the Lord doesn’t want you, or that He isn’t interested in you any more. Re member His words, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.” What a wonderful promise He has made us. Today, the only altar is Calvary. By His grace we are redeemed by His precious blood. He gives us eternal life and a robe of righteousness which makes us fit for God’s presence. God has seen to it that the story of Calvary has been told all over the world. The very same story I heard back in 1896 is the same story being told today. The light of salvation shall never go out; its truth shall never cease. Someday, however, the door will be shut and great tribula tion shall fall upon the earth. The re straining grace of the Gospel will be gone. Let me urge you to remember that while the fire is burning you can come' to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you know Him see that you do all in your power to win others to the Saviour. Beloved, the Bible tells us, “He that winneth souls is wise.”

B E " B R O A D M I N D E D " Christianity is not “one of the world’s great religions.” It is wholly separate and apart from anything else. Religion is best defined as man in his constant at tempt to reach out and lay hold of God. Christianity, however, is God reaching down through His Son Jesus Christ and laying hold of man. What a vast differ ence. As in other fields, Christianity does not allow for broadmindedness. Such is true in the chemical laboratory. Drink ing water is composed of two parts hy drogen and one part oxygen. The slight est deviation from that formula would be fatal. There is no room for broad mindedness in the mathematical class room. Despite new methods of study, no variation is allowed. In our space pro gram, millions of dollars would be lost if one were careless in anything less than complete accuracy. There is no room for tolerance in the garage. The piston rings of your car must fit the cylinder walls within one thousandth of an inch. I f the motor is to run smoothly, there can’t be any variation to bring maximum performance. The Lord Jesus Christ asserted without any equivoca tion, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." There is no other way or sys tem. “There is one God and one media tor between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” * * * What a man is depends largely on what he does when he has nothing to do. 12
