The Lord said He could do without me and I did not like it. Then He said, you know I can do without you, now I can do with, you. Now the Lord holds me instead of my holding Him, and I can work with both hands. Faith comes up the stairs that Love has made and looks in at the window that Hope has opened, y The atoning work of Christ is a work that is done for us and the meaning of the word " a t o n e m e n t" is to cover over own sinfulness and undoneness. Our old self must be crucified; our good self dis- placed and Christ Himself enthroned. It was necessary that Christ should be incarnated and live the life He dW, but ¡ ¡ g g all in order that He might die the death He died on Calvary. The Scriptures do not say that Christ was hungry for us, or ™ suffered for us, but it does say that He preached by live men. TA o ' June 20:

You certainly h a v e a S r e a t story to tell. Spurgeon said, Gospel sermon is a sermon that has enough of the Gospel in it so that if it w as the only sermon one had ever heard a m a n would know from that sermon what h e must do to be saved. Any sermon is a.poor sermon, no matter how intellectual it may be, if a man could come into the P e w and hear it and not know what to do Evangelism is not a method: it is a spirit.

Dr. Hurlburt, June 23:
