cious peace. Have you made your application? The full price has been paid and the blessing o f His peace is there waiting for all who come to God through Him. And, just as there is perfect peace and calm twenty fathoms below the surface o f the stormy ocean, so will we experience this wonderful peace of God amid the many storms o f life. My third and final thought for your consideration is this:- It was the late Dr. G. H. Morri­ son who brought this truth before my mind. I think it is a refresh­ ing thought. Here is the peace of adequate resources. Here is ful­ ness for every demand o f life. To the medical man surrounded by sickness in his area that is in­ creasing towards epidemic pro­ portions, the one thing that gives peace to his mind is the knowl­ edge of adequate supplies. You see, this is not a dull, lifeless peace; it is vibrant and colorful. It spells adequacy! Do you have the peace of those who can say, “My God shall sup­ ply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” ? Bishop B i ck e r s t e t h knew this truth when he penned the great hymn, "Peace , perfect peace—In this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Peace, perfect peace—our futnre a ll unknown? Jesus we know! And He Is on the Throne.” For every deficiency we pos­ sess, the indwelling Christ can provide all we need. What a thrill to know that He is enough! Even when that last old enemy of death confronts us, we will find through our glorious Lord that His re­ sources are adequate, even then. “ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” m Rev. John M. Moore is Pastor of Central Baptist Church, Victoria, B.C., Canada. Peace is The Possession of Adequate Resources

Peace Has Been Provided When the Master took His dis­ ciples aside and spoke to them about His near departure from them, He told them of the great legacy He was bequeathing to them. “ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” He was not just leaving them peace, He was leaving His own peace to them! This was not the peace of the recluse. It was the peace of Him who, knowing what was awaiting Him, sang a hymn with His disciples, then went out to crucifixion and death. The peace He gives to His peo­ ple is not the kind the world gives. It is not a drug that dulls and deadens the senses and helps us forget our troubles for the mo­ ment. It is not the peace of a new environment, an escape from the depressing surroundings. Neither is it the peace that keeps us from troubles and trials, sorrows and problems. It is the peace that keeps us calm and confident in the midst of them all. Look at this fine Christian family. They are enjoying their breakfast in their lovely home set in twenty-five acres o f beautiful gardens. After prayers, the family went off to school. Then, taking a letter from his pocket, the father said to his dear wife, “ Look at this, dear!” There it was: the grim truth that every penny they possessed was gone. Taking his hand, she said, “Well dear, we have each other, and above all, we have Christ.” They had perfect peace. Look at the man of the world in similar circumstances. See him panic. Watch him try to cover it up, afraid to face the reality of his loss. He has no anchor of peace, his t r oub l e s carry him away to despair, or perhaps even to suicide. I know it is difficult for folks to understand this peace. The Bi­ ble admits this, and calls it “ the peace that passeth understand­ ing.” We need not fathom it to enjoy it. Christ left this peace in His will for all who trust Him. He wants you to possess this pre­
