18. The Believer's Element “Ye are . . . »in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you” (Rom. 8:9). How can the Spirit be in me and I in the Spirit? I remembered that was true of the elements—the bird in the air and the air in the bird . . . If the Spirit is not in you, you do not have His breath, and therefore His life, in you . . . I must dwell in the Spirit, livhig and moving and having ,my being in the Spirit as the element in which I live.—A. T. Pierson. 19. Inner Food "He that eateth me, even he shall live by me” (John 6:57). The man who feeds upon Christ does not hobble on crutches upon thé heavenly road, for from this holy feeding he gains an inward strength, and no task or trial can terrify him. You may starve him, but- h^ has inner food. You may darken his life, but he has inner light, the light of life. You may make war about him, but he has peace within, the peace of Christ.—J. W. S. 20. His Hand “Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening” (Ezek. 33:22). . ThaJ glorious right hand which molded the world can new créate my mind . . . Why should J' not feel that hand touching me’ now ? Come, my soul, address thy God with the potent plea that thé hands of the Lord Jesus were pierced for thy redemption, and thou shalt surely feel that same hand upon thee which once touched Daniel and set him upon his knees that he might see visions of God. —Charles Haddon Spurgeon..

21. The Only Way "Thank* be to God, which glveth us the victory” (1 Cor. 15:57). Wherein shall victory be obtained? Surely it is by linking the soul to the throne of omnipotent love. And this can be done only by prayer—sprayer in which a man approaches God in Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Ghost, prayer in its deeper realities, prayer which draws from God such blessings and beauty and holy power that the world ceases to attract because a nobler vision is occupying the soul’s eye. —H. W. Webb-Peploe. Love Responding “Jesus saith unto her, Mary. Sh« turned herself and saith unto him, Rab bonì, which is to say, Master” (John 20:16). Love understands love; It needs no talk, Sunlight needs no paraphernalia of pipes, and wicks, and burners; it just shines out, direct and immediate. And thè dewdrop flashes it back in the same way. The sparkle may be tiny, but it is true and immediate; it needs no vehicle . . . The powerful sunshine of His love was focussed Into that white beam of sevenfold light, and Mary’s whole soul was concentrated into the responsive lòve-flash, “Master.” —Frances Ridley Havergal. He Understands “A high priest . . . in all points tempted like as we" are” (Heb. 4:15). He understands when, burdened with our care, We cry to Him our heartbreak and despair. He reaches down to lift us in His love From deeps of darkness to His light above. He understands when, turning from His face And all the wondrous glories of His grace, We seek to grasp the more unworthy light, The earthly bauble, pleasing to our sight. He understands, I know—outside His love, Though all unworthy, still I cannot move. I . know He understands—just now*, as then I know, for once He walked on earth with men. —Alice C. CatteU. . Skill in Helping Others “Who eomforteth us in all our trib ulation, that we may be able to com fort them which are in any trouble, 22. 23. 24.
