might he one which would fit me more appropriately.” A t the craftsman’s in vitation, he began going through the well stocked inventory, looking over each one carefully. The weary trav eller was sure any of them would he better than his own. He lifted and examined the wooden gibbets one after another. Some seemed quite light for a moment, but after walking a few feet for a test, they always became unbearably heavy, even more oppres- cepts of Jesus. As one cynical fellow offered, “I t’s doing unto others before they do it unto you!” The Word of God clearly teaches us that a real Christian is one who by faith has received Christ as personal Saviour. There is no other way to find eternal life. Man doesn’t add one fraction of his own effort to merit salvation. I t is absolutely a gift of the Lord. Listen to the verse of promise, “For by grace are ye saved, through faith and that not of your selves; it is the g ift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8-9). BLESSING OF PAIN I t comes as a result of a special survey conducted by doctors. The con clusive revelation shows that women can bear pain more easily and without complaining as much as men. That’s quite an observation by the medical profession. Perhaps you’ve read about the H-year-old girl over in England who mystifies doctors. Her problem is that she can feel no pain whatsoever. All of a sudden, without explanation, blisters and cuts will appear. Her par ents have had to be very careful with her ever since they discovered the diffi culty. For example, they have to make certain that she doesn’t get too close to fire. Without the sensation of pain, she has no way of discerning the dangers which surround her. In our audience are many of you who have suffered anguish and pain over the years. Did you ever stop to consider the blessing of pain? On the surface it may sound If you put a smile on your face in the morning, you’ll have nothing to lose but the blues.
