borne by a very great temptation. But this cannot, dare not be alleged: no, you “spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doth not profit.” You can make no hand of it. You offend the God of your mercies without any provocation, and that for a very trifle. He has not stood with you upon the greatest, and ye scruple the least points with Him; yea, for a very shadow of pleasure, ye stand not to offend Him. Here is the sum and substance of your indictment, enough to make heaven and earth astonished that God does not in fury fall upon us, and make an utter end of us. If every one saw his own concernment in this matter, how would we be affected? Flee to Jesus Christ: hasten your escape, before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, be fore the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. PP m Don’t Be Incomplete Beecher says: “Many men build as cathedrals were built, the part nearest the ground, finished; but that part which soars towards heaven,-—the turrets and the spires— forever incomplete.” a» Why Did No One Tell Me About Him? G OD had laid upon my heart to take more time for prayer before going on my hospital assignment,” says a young lady student of the Bible Institute. “He gave me Psalm 62:5: “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” Therefore, I went forth expecting, even as He had promised.” Upon reaching the hospital ward and praying that God would definitely lead her to the one to whom He would have her speak, this young lady’s eyes were directed to a woman who sat out on the porch. After visiting for a short time with the woman, she poured out her heart, telling of the sinfulness and the wretchedness of her life. The student presented Jesus Christ, who said, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” She asked, “Who is this Jesus Christ? I never heard of Him before.” This in Los Angeles, in the year of our Lord, 19271 She knew of Easter, but did not know why we celebrated the day. She was told as simply as possible the story of God’s plan for redeeming a lost and sinful world. She kept exclaiming, “And to think He died for me! To think He died for.me!” It was all so wonderful that she could not understand why some one had not told her the story before. Darkness had come on as the two talked. Some tracts were left with her, and a Gospel of John. She was directed to read the third and fourth chapters of the Gospel. “Oh,” she said, “I can scarcely wait until morning to read, about this wonderful Jesus and His love for me.” It was on Tuesday evening the student had gone out, and on Thursday she got excused from her work in order to go to see the woman again. She felt she could not wait until the next week to see her. The patient was glad to see her, and immediately related in detail many of the wonderful truths that had gripped her heart as she had read the Gospel. The one thing that impressed her most was the fact of the love of Christ, that He was willing to die. The Cross seemed to be real, and vital to her. Again and again she would say, “But why did no one tell me about it?” Before the young lady left that second night, the patient was wonderfully saved, confessed Christ as her Savior, and expressed her desire to see her mother, that she might tell her the good news of the new-found joy.
