was asked by a neighbor why he had left. “There was no roof on the house” The Scotchman’s meaning may be found in the saying of an old writer, who affirms that a dwelling in which prayer is not offered up to Cod daily, is like a house without a roof, in which there can neither be peace, comfort, nor safety.

The artist of Alexander the Great was very, desirous of pro ducing a faithful portrait of the great general, but he was anx ious to hide the ugly scar upon the side of his~ facepwhich was the telltale of a wound received in one of his battles. He, there fore, represented the great conqueror in a reflective mood, with his head resting upon his hand, and his forefinger covering the disfiguring scar. Love ever seeks to cover the scars which are the marks left by the old master,. sin.

Do you remember the story that Stephen Merritt tells about himself? He gave a supper to outcast and homeless men. When he took up his hat to go, he found that they had half-filled it with bacon fat,, pieces of crust;-and coffee dregs. He was furious—but love, suffereth long ! In a. towering rage, he stormed at the tramps, and even threatened to fetch in the police. ' Suddenly there flashed into his mind the words of th é Scripture : .“Love:.endureth all things.” He lived too near to God to stray far or for long; and in a moment temper went and deep Sorrow'and contrition filled this loving heart. Could temper and “dignity” accoinplish more than love? He humbly apologized to- them, and invited them to, a supper the following night. Now, what happened? Immediately the ringleaders of -the joke owned up and expressed their regrets. And the following night forty of those men received Christ as Saviour. “The other day I was speaking in Hyde Park,” , says Rev, C. C. Dobson, “to the usual crowd there, when someone said he wanted to ask me a question. He said he wanted to know why there were so many different sects and denominations of Chris tians. Well, I at once thought of an illustration which supplied the answer. In the Bristol Channel there’s a lonely Robinson Crusde kind of island called the Flat Holm. The lighthouse on it is so bright that you can almost read by.it five miles away on land. I used to wonder what sort of burner they had to make so strong a light. One day I visited the island, and they showed me the light. I was surprised to find it was one single incan descent mantle, but its strength was magnified by a great num ber of three-cornered pieces of glass or prisms, fashioned all around it. Each one of them was so fixed that it caught the light from its own angle, and threw it out in one and the same direc tion. There was thus no light wasted inside, but all the light was magnified and focused to one point. There are numbers of dif ferent kinds of Christians. They all differ in temperament, character, ability, position, and environment, but they are all N ovember 19, 1928 Text: 2 Cor. 12:5-6
